Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 139 / Friday, July 21, 2017 / Notices
responsibility of the CC is to coordinate
all ECDS-related institutional
communications. In the second stage,
the 2017 ECDS will select a sample of
up to 22,855 ECD to participate in the
survey with the goal of attaining 18,000
eligible ECD respondents. The HA, with
the help of the CC, will notify the
sampled individuals of their selection
and NSF will survey these individuals.
Estimate of Burden: In the 2017 ECDS,
taking into account all five respondent
types (HA, CC, LC, ECD, and ineligible
respondents), we estimate the total
respondent burden to be 12,641 hours.
We estimate a total burden of 157 hours
for HAs, 470 hours for CCs, 2,400 hours
for list coordinators, 9,600 hours for
ECD, and 14 hours for ineligible
respondents. These estimates use the
burden information collected during the
Pilot ECDS and assume that 300
institutions will participate
(approximately 86%) during stage 1 of
the 2017 ECDS data collection, 240 of
the participating institutions (80%) will
send pre-notification emails to potential
respondents in stage 2 of data
collection, and that the 22,855 sample
size will result in 18,000 eligible
responding ECD and 410 ineligible
respondents. The amount of time for
eligible responding ECD to complete the
2017 ECDS questionnaire may vary
depending on an individual’s
circumstances; however, NCSES
estimate it will take approximately 32
minutes. The below table shows the
estimated burden by stage and
respondent type.

Updates: Relative to the first notice,
there are three substantive changes: (1)
The first notice included the statement
that ‘‘NSF will request lists of ECD from
approximately 390 institutions
nationwide, and sample 24,000
individuals from these lists’’ was based
on the initial sample design plan. Based
on additional analysis, the final sample
sizes decreased to a sample of
approximately 350 institutions and
22,855 individuals. (2) The first notice
also stated ‘‘Sample members will be
invited to participate in a 40-minute
web-based questionnaire.’’ Since the
first notice, NCSES further revised the
Pilot ECDS questionnaire to reduce the
time needed to complete the survey to
32 minutes. (3) NCSES reduced the
estimated burden to 12,641 hours from
the 19,900 hours provided in the first
notice. This reduction in the estimated
burden was a result of the smaller
sample sizes, a reduction in the time to
complete the survey, and a change in
the expected response rate.
NSF may not conduct or sponsor a
collection of information unless the
collection of information displays a
currently valid OMB control number
and the agency informs potential
persons who are to respond to the
collection of information that such
persons are not required to respond to

AGENCY:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is withdrawing
Regulatory Guide (RG) 5.22,
‘‘Assessment of the Assumption of
Normality (Employing Individual

withdrawn because the guidance for
licensees to develop written procedures
describing statistical analyses of nuclear

when assessing the assumption of
normality in a data set, is no longer
needed.
DATES: The effective date of the
withdrawal of RG 5.22 is July 21, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Regulatory
Guide 5.22 was published in April 1974
to provide guidance on meeting the
requirements related to material control
and accounting (MC&A) statistical
control procedures in § 70.22(b) of title
10 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(10 CFR), ‘‘Contents of applications.’’
This requirement, regarding submittal of
the licensees’ description of its MC&A
procedures, did not specifically require
the methodology that the guidance in
RG 5.22 addressed and no longer exists
in 10 CFR 70.22(b). The MC&A
requirements have all been moved to 10
CFR part 74 and no specific
requirements exist for assessing the
assumption of normality.
Regulatory Guide 5.22 endorsed the
American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) Standard N15.15–1973,
‘‘Assessment of the Assumption of
Normality (Employing Individual
Observed Values),’’ with qualifications.
The ANSI Standard N15.15–1973
provided a common method used in
assessing the assumption of normality
in a data set. However, the NRC is not
aware that any licensee ever used this
particular RG or the ANSI standard it
endorsed since the method is not
required by NRC regulations.
Instructions on performing such an
analysis, if a licensee chose to test their
MC&A data for the assumption of
PO 00000
Frm 00070
Fmt 4703

normality, can be found in NUREG/CR–
4604 (PNL–5849), ‘‘Statistical Methods
for Nuclear Material Management’’
(ADAMS Accession No. ML103430339).
NUREG/CR–4604 was developed to be a
comprehensive guidance document on
statistical methods that licensees may
use in evaluating MC&A data.
Withdrawal of a RG means that the
guide no longer provides useful
information or has been superseded by
other guidance, technological
innovations, congressional actions, or
other events. The NRC is withdrawing
RG 5.22 because it is no longer needed.
The withdrawal of RG 5.22 does not
alter any prior or existing NRC licensing
approvals or the acceptability of
licensee commitments to RG 5.22.
Although RG 5.22 is withdrawn, current
licensees may continue to use it, and
withdrawal does not affect any existing
licenses or agreements. However, by
withdrawing RG 5.22, the NRC will no
longer approve its use in future requests
or applications for NRC licensing
actions.
