Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 123 / Wednesday, June 26, 2013 / Notices
Reauthorization Act of 2010 § 505,
codified in the National Science
Foundation Act of 1950, as amended,
established the National Center for
Science and Engineering Statistics
(NCSES) within the National Science
Foundation. NCSES supports surveys
that measure the level of basic factual
knowledge of science among the
American public and prepares
information on this topic for
dissemination in Science and
Engineering Indicators, a biennial
publication of the National Science
Board (NSB), NSF’s governing body.
Survey questions cover topics in
biology, chemistry, physics, astronomy,
and other sciences. NCSES is proposing
to conduct a series of survey-based
experiments in which question wording
and content are systematically varied in
order to test the sensitivity of survey
measures of factual knowledge of
biological evolution and the origins of
the universe to variations in question
design. These experiments will be
conducted via an Internet survey. Data
from these experiments may be used in
Science and Engineering Indicators to
address the effects of question design on
survey estimates of public science
knowledge and the relationship between
understanding and acceptance of
scientific conclusions. Results from this
research may also be reported in
scholarly research publications.
Expected Respondents:
Approximately 3,500 U.S. adults
(persons aged 18+) will be responding to
the survey.
Estimate of Burden: The Foundation
estimates that, on average, 15 minutes
per respondent will be required to
complete the survey. The annual
respondent burden for completing the
survey is therefore estimated at 875
hours, based on 3,500 respondents.
Dated: June 20, 2013.

ACTION:
Licensee Notification of Completion of
ITAAC
On May 7, 2013, Southern Nuclear
Operating Company, Inc. (the licensee)
submitted an ITAAC closure
notification (ICN) under § 52.99(c)(1) of
PO 00000
Frm 00127

Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR) informing the NRC
that the licensee has successfully
performed the required inspections,
tests, and analyses for ITAAC
E.2.5.04.05.05.01, and that the specified
acceptance criteria are met for Vogtle
Electric Generating Plant, Unit 4
(ADAMS Accession No. ML13127A390).
This ITAAC was approved as part of the
issuance of the combined license, NPF–
92, for this facility.
NRC Staff Determination of Completion
of ITAAC
The NRC staff has determined that the
inspections, tests, and analyses have
been successfully completed, and that
the specified acceptance criteria are met
for Vogtle Electric Generating Plant,
Unit 4, ITAAC E.2.5.04.05.05.01. This
notice fulfills the staff’s obligations
under 10 CFR 52.99(e)(1) to publish a
notice in the Federal Register of the
NRC staff’s determination of the
successful completion of inspections,
tests, and analyses.
The documentation of the NRC staff’s
determination is in the ITAAC Closure
Verification Evaluation Form (VEF),
dated June 5, 2013 (ADAMS Accession
No. ML13162A231). The VEF is a form
that represents the NRC staff’s
structured process for reviewing ICNs.
The ICN presents a narrative description
of how the ITAAC was completed, and
the NRC’s ICN review process involves
a determination on whether, among
other things, (1) the ICN provides
sufficient information, including a
summary of the methodology used to
perform the ITAAC, to demonstrate that
the inspections, tests, and analyses have
been successfully completed; (2) the
ICN provides sufficient information to
demonstrate that the acceptance criteria
are met; and (3) any required
inspections for the ITAAC have been
completed and any ITAAC findings
associated with the ITAAC have been
closed.
The NRC staff’s determination of the
successful completion of this ITAAC is
based on information available at this
time and is subject to the licensee’s
ability to maintain the condition that
the acceptance criteria are met. If new
information disputes the NRC staff’s
determination, this ITAAC will be
reopened as necessary. The NRC staff’s
determination will be used to support a
subsequent finding, pursuant to 10 CFR
52.103(g), at the end of construction that
all acceptance criteria in the combined
license are met. The ITAAC closure
process is not finalized for this ITAAC
until the NRC makes an affirmative
finding under 10 CFR 52.103(g). Any
future updates to the status of this
