DATES:
Jkt 229001
The National Science Foundation’s
Directorate for Computer and
Information Science and Engineering
(CISE), through its Expeditions in
Computing (EIC), Secure and
Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC)
Frontier, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS)
Frontier, and Future Internet
Architecture (FIA) programs, supports
an integrated, interdisciplinary research
environment to advance fundamental
computing, communications, and
information science and engineering;
educate a globally competitive and
diverse workforce from K–12 on; and
join academe and industry in
partnership to achieve these goals.
Projects funded through these four
programs represent some of the largest
single investments made by CISE and
form the centerpiece of the directorate’s
award portfolio. Through these awards,
the recipients conduct world-class
research, creating new knowledge that is
meaningfully linked to society.
Specifically, EIC, SaTC and CPS
Frontier, and FIA projects constitute
near center-scale activities that catalyze
far-reaching research explorations
motivated by deep scientific questions

or hard problems in the computing and
information fields, and/or by
compelling applications that promise
significant societal benefits. They
stimulate significant research and
education outcomes that, through
effective knowledge transfer
mechanisms, promise significant
scientific, economic, and/or other
societal benefits.
These projects foster research climates
that nurture creativity and informed
risk-taking, and value complementary
research and education contributions
such that each whole project is greater
than the sum of its parts; draw upon
well-integrated, diverse teams of
investigators from one or more
disciplines within computer and
information science and engineering, as
well as investigators from other fields
where necessary; stimulate effective
knowledge transfer; and demonstrate
experimental systems or support shared
experimental facilities (including
instruments, platforms and/or testbeds),
where necessary, to enable discovery
and learning.
The EIC, SaTC and CPS Frontier, and
FIA projects enable and foster excellent
education, integrate research and
education, speed knowledge/technology
transfer through partnerships between
academe and industry, and prepare a
more competitive future workforce.
They capitalize on diversity through
participation in project activities and
demonstrate leadership in the
involvement of groups
underrepresented in computer and
information science and engineering.
Awardees will be required to submit
annual project reports on progress and
plans, which will be used as a basis for
performance review and determining
the level of continued funding. Such
reporting requirements will be included
as terms and conditions in the award
letter.
Each project’s annual report will
address the reporting components
specified in the Research Performance
Progress Report (RPPR; https://
www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/rppr/).
However, the significant size and
complexity of the set of awards noted
above (up to $10 million per project
over five years, with as many as 20 PIs
and 40 students/postdocs per project
across multiple institutions) warrants
additional detail to ensure adequate
oversight and proper stewardship of
funds. Thus, in contrast to the RPPR
format, there will be no length
limitations for any sections of the
report.
Use of the Information: The data
collected will be used for NSF internal
reports, historical data, performance

securing future funding for continued
maintenance and growth of the EIC,
SaTC and CPS Frontiers, and FIA
programs.
Estimate of Burden: 75 hours per
project for 30 projects across the four
programs for a total of 2250 hours plus.
Respondents: Academic institutions.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Report: One from each of the 30
projects.

Background
The NRC staff is issuing this second
notice for use of, and to solicit public
comments on, draft COL–ISG–025
(ADAMS Accession No. ML13045A125).
Previously, on January 11, 2012, the
NRC staff issued notice for the use of,
and to solicit public comments on, the
prior draft COL–ISG–025 (ADAMS
Accession No. ML111530026) (Docket
ID: NRC–2011–0288). The NRC staff is
revising COL–ISG–025 to update the
PAR review process, clarify the
information that should be included
with a PAR submittal, and include the
staff consideration of comments
received on the prior version of the ISG.
This ISG provides guidance to the
staff on the PAR review process
available to the initial Part 52 of Title 10
of the Code of Federal Regulations (10
CFR), COL licensees through a license
condition for use as an elective
precursor to the license amendment
process. The PAR process facilitates the
installation and testing of plant changes
during construction. The NRC staff
continues to use and evaluate the PAR
process during the construction of the
nuclear power plants licensed under 10
CFR Part 52 and will finalize this ISG
for inclusion in either in a new
Regulatory Guide (RG) or in the next
major revision of RG 1.187, ‘‘Guidance
for Implementation of 10 CFR 50.59,
Changes, Tests, and Experiments,’’
November 2000 (ADAMS Accession No.
ML003759710).
Backfitting and Issue Finality
Licensees may voluntarily follow the
PAR process described in this draft ISG.
Because the PAR process in this ISG is
internal guidance to the NRC staff, it is
not a matter for which either nuclear
power plant applicants or licensees are
