SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: 2015 National
Survey of College Graduates.
OMB Approval Number: 3145–0141.
Expiration Date of Approval:
November 30, 2015.
Type of Request: Intent to seek
approval to renew an information
collection for three years.
1. Abstract. The National Survey of
College Graduates (NSCG) has been
conducted biennially since the 1970s.
The 2015 NSCG sample will be selected
from the 2013 American Community
Survey (ACS) and the 2013 NSCG. By
selecting sample from these two
sources, the 2015 NSCG will provide
coverage of the college graduate
population residing in the United
States. The purpose of this longitudinal
survey is to collect data that will be
used to provide national estimates on
the science and engineering workforce
and changes in their employment,
education, and demographic
characteristics.
The National Science Foundation Act
of 1950, as subsequently amended,
includes a statutory charge to ‘‘. . .
provide a central clearinghouse for the
collection, interpretation, and analysis
of data on scientific and engineering
resources, and to provide a source of
information for policy formulation by
other agencies of the Federal
Government.’’ The NSCG is designed to
comply with these mandates by
providing information on the supply
and utilization of the nation’s scientists
and engineers. The NSF uses the
information from the NSCG to prepare
congressionally mandated reports such
as Women, Minorities and Persons With
Disabilities in Science and Engineering
E:\FR\FM\18JYN1.SGM
18JYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 138 / Friday, July 18, 2014 / Notices
and Science and Engineering Indicators.
A public release file of collected data,
designed to protect respondent
confidentiality, will be made available
to researchers on the Internet.
The U.S. Census Bureau, as in the
past, will conduct the NSCG for NSF.
The survey data collection will begin in
February 2015 using Web and mail
questionnaires. Nonrespondents to the
Web or mail questionnaire will be
followed up by computer-assisted
telephone interviewing. The survey will
be collected in conformance with the
Confidential Information Protection and
Statistical Efficiency Act of 2002, and
the individual’s response to the survey
is voluntary. NSF will ensure that all
information collected will be kept
strictly confidential and will be used
only for statistical purposes.
2. Expected Respondents. A statistical
sample of approximately 135,000
individuals will be contacted in 2015.
NSF expects the response rate to be 70
to 80 percent.
3. Estimate of Burden. The amount of
time to complete the questionnaire may
vary depending on an individual’s
circumstances; however, on average it
will take approximately 30 minutes to
complete the survey. NSF estimates that
the total annual burden will be no more
than 54,000 hours (=135,000
respondents × 80% response × 30
minutes) during the 2015 survey cycle.

Commission.
ACTION: Order; Issuance.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is issuing a
Prohibition Order to Mr. James Chaisson
as a result of his failure to complete the
agreed upon actions issued in the
Confirmatory Order dated September
10, 2012. The Order will prohibit the
individual from engaging in NRClicensed activities for a minimum
period of three years from its effective
date, and continuing thereafter until he
can provide NRC with reasonable
assurance that he can safely use
radioactive materials in accordance with

requires Mr. Chaisson complete training
requirements, verbally attest to the
corrective actions he has taken, and for
a two-year period after the NRC notifies
Mr. Chaisson of its reasonable assurance
determination, he must notify NRC
Region IV about his employment with
NRC licensee or work in NRC
jurisdiction in writing.

radiographer for the Wyoming
operations of Texas Gamma Ray, LLC
(TGR or Licensee), whose corporate
offices are located in Pasadena, Texas.
TGR is the former holder of License No.
42–29303–01, issued on January 6,
2009, by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC or the Commission),
pursuant to 10 CFR Part 34. The license
authorized industrial radiographic
operations in accordance with
conditions specified therein. The
license was terminated at the licensee’s
request on July 25, 2011.
On May 15, 2012, the NRC issued an
Order, ‘‘Order Prohibiting Involvement
in NRC-Licensed Activities’’ (IA–12–
009), to Mr. Chaisson, which required,
in part, that Mr. Chaisson be prohibited
from engaging in NRC-licensed
activities for a 3-year period. The NRC
issued the Order to Mr. Chaisson after
concluding that he engaged in deliberate
misconduct in violation of 10 CFR
30.10(a)(1). Specifically, the NRC
concluded that Mr. Chaisson chose to
store a radiographic exposure device at
a facility he knew did not comply with
applicable NRC security requirements
and was not an authorized storage
location under TGR’s license. These
violations occurred while Mr. Chaisson
was employed by TGR as the area
supervisor and lead radiographer for its
Wyoming operations. Mr. Chaisson’s
deliberate misconduct caused TGR to be
in violation of License No. 42–29303–
01, License Condition 19, which
required increased control security
requirements pertaining to the use,
storage, and protection of licensed
material, and License Condition 11,
which required TGR to limit the storage
of radioactive material authorized by its
license to temporary job sites in NRC
jurisdiction.
In response to the Order, Mr.
Chaisson requested Alternative Dispute
Resolution (ADR) and signed the
Agreement to Mediate on June 13, 2012.
An ADR mediation session was
conducted on July 26, 2012, in Salt Lake
City, Utah. During that ADR session, Mr.
Chaisson signed the Agreement in
Principal that was reached with the
NRC, in which he agreed to terms and
conditions to be memorialized in a
Confirmatory Order.
A Confirmatory Order based on the
Agreement in Principal was issued to
Mr. Chaisson on September 10, 2012.
The Confirmatory Order prohibited Mr.
Chaisson from engaging in NRClicensed activities for an 18-month
period from the date of the Confirmatory
Order. The Confirmatory Order required
that the 18-month period be followed by
a 4-year restriction from acting in any
supervisory capacity while working in
