SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NEA’s Literature: Translation Projects program gives grants to translators of previously written works which may be protected by copyright. The NEA typically requires that these applicants obtain from the publisher the affirmative ‘‘right to translate’’ the work (or, in cases that do not apply to this request that the work be in the public domain). Some publishers, due to industry standard practices, have refused to provide applicants with the ‘‘right to translate’’ but do not object to the work being translated. In order to ensure that these otherwise qualified applicants are eligible, the NEA proposes to use this form in which a non-applicant rightsholder affirmatively acknowledges and approves of the applicant’s project. daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:23 Jan 09, 2018 Jkt 244001 Title of Collection: Acknowledgement of Rights-Holder for Literature: Translation Projects Applications.

ACTION: Notice of meeting; revised; request for comments. AGENCY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will convene a meeting of the Licensing Support Network Advisory Review Panel (LSNARP) on February 27–28, 2018, at the NRC’s Headquarters Offices in Room 01C3, Three White Flint North Building, 11601 Landsdown Street, Rockville, Maryland 20852. The NRC has revised the meeting date from January 30–31 to February 27–28, 2018, to allow more time to evaluate options for the potential reconstitution or replacement of the Licensing Support Network (LSN). The meeting is being held to carry out the NRC’s responsibilities under the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit’s decision in the case In re Aiken County, 645 F.3d 428 (D.C. Cir. 2011), and the Commission’s July 31, 2017, direction in the Staff Requirements Memorandum associated with COMSECY–17–0019 that a next step in the Yucca Mountain licensing process is for the NRC to initiate information-gathering activities regarding reinstituting or replacing the LSN. The LSN, which was used to make documentary material associated with the Yucca Mountain adjudicatory proceeding available to hearing participants and the public, was decommissioned when the adjudication was suspended in 2011. The information being collected will assist the Commission in making efficient, informed decisions concerning appropriate means for reconstituting the LSN’s functionality if the currentlysuspended Yucca Mountain adjudication were to re-commence in the future. The meeting will be open to the public pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (Pub. L. 94–463, 86 Stat. 770–776) and will be conducted SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\10JAN1.SGM 10JAN1
