Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 43 / Monday, March 5, 2018 / Notices sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES awardee codes of conduct, policies, regulations or statutes relating to sexual harassment, other forms of harassment, or sexual assault; and (2) if the awardee places the PI, or any co-PI on administrative leave 2 relating to a finding or investigation of a violation of awardee codes of conduct, policies, regulations or statutes relating to sexual harassment, other forms of harassment, or sexual assault.3 Such notification must be submitted by the Authorized Organization Representative via email to NSF’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion at: harassmentnotifications@nsf.gov within seven business days from the date of the finding/determination or the awardee’s placement of the PI or co-PI on administrative leave. Each notification must include the following information: • NSF Award Number • Name of PI/or co-PI being reported: • Type of Report: Select Æ Finding/Determination that the reported individual has been found to have violated awardee codes of conduct, policies, regulations or statutes relating to sexual harassment, or other form of harassment, or sexual assault; or Æ Placement by the awardee of the reported individual on administrative leave relating to a finding or investigation of a violation of awardee codes of conduct, policies, regulations or statutes relating to sexual harassment, or other form of harassment, or sexual assault. • Description of the finding/ determination and action taken, if any. • Reason(s)for, and conditions of, placement of the PI or any co-PI on administrative leave. • Plan for continued oversight and implementation of the project during the administrative leave period of the reported PI or co-PI. The awardee may at any time propose a substitute investigator if it determines the PI or any co-PI may not be able to carry out the project or activity and/or abide by award terms and conditions. Other personnel supported by an NSF award must likewise remain in full requisite information to the awardee, which will then transmit it to NSF as instructed above. 2 For purposes of this term and condition, ‘‘administrative leave’’ includes any administrative action by the awardee that could impact the PI’s or any co-PI’s ability to fulfill their responsibilities on the award. 3 Awardee findings/determinations and placement on administrative leave during investigation must have been conducted in accordance with organizational processes and policies that are consistent with federal law and regulation. See, e.g., NSF Research Terms and Conditions, Appendix C. VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:25 Mar 02, 2018 Jkt 244001 compliance with awardee codes of conduct, policies, regulations and statutes relating to sexual harassment, other forms of harassment, or sexual assault. With regard to any personnel not in compliance, the awardee must make appropriate arrangements to ensure the safety of other award personnel and the continued progress of the funded project. Taking into account the seriousness of the violation(s) and the importance of maintaining the safety of personnel supported by an NSF award, the Foundation may take unilateral action, as appropriate, to require the substitution or removal of the PI or any co-PI, suspension or termination of the award, or a reduction in the award funding amount. End of Proposed Article X Implementation: Upon receipt and resolution of all comments, it is NSF’s intention to implement the new term through revision of the NSF Agency Specific Requirements to the Research Terms and Conditions, the Grant General Conditions, and the Cooperative Agreement—Financial and Administrative Terms and Conditions. The new term and condition will be applied to all new NSF awards and funding amendments to existing awards made on or after the effective date. This new reporting requirement will apply to all findings/determinations that occur on or after the effective date of the terms and conditions. With regard to notification of placement on administrative leave, the awardee must notify NSF within seven business days from the date the awardee determines that placement on administrative leave is necessary. NSF also plans to incorporate the new award term into the next issuance of the NSF Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide, as well as to implement an electronic notification capability in Research.gov.

Your request should state that the NRC does not routinely edit comment submissions to remove such information before making the comment submissions available to the public or entering the comment into ADAMS. II. Discussion The NRC has identified a potential generic issue associated with electrical equipment containing component made of aluminum. If the identified equipment were to experience a HEAF the presence of aluminum may cause greater damage to structures, systems, and components than previous analyses indicated. This generic issue has met all seven screening criteria of the generic issues program and is currently in the assessment phase (ADAMS Accession No. ML16349A027). To better understand the impact of aluminum, the NRC is sponsoring large- and smallscale testing. The large-scale testing will be undertaken as part of an international effort and the draft test plan for that program is publicly available (ADAMS Accession No. ML17201Q551). The purpose of this draft test program is characterize aluminum particle size distribution, rates of production and morphology (agglomeration) of HEAFs involving aluminum conductors. The measurements from these experiments will be used to support development of a HEAF/Aluminum combustion energy balance model to better characterize the aluminum HEAF hazard. This modeling effort will support advancements to quantify hazards HEAF pose to nuclear power plant risk. The small-scale testing is expected to be performed prior to any full-scale testing. The results from the small-scale work is expected to help inform to the large-scale test results and to support evaluation of the numerical method predictive capability. Model development is outside the scope of this test plan and is expected to be completed by a third party. This draft test plan has been developed by Sandia National Laboratories. The NRC is seeking public comment in order to receive feedback from the widest range of interested parties and to ensure that all information relevant to E:\FR\FM\05MRN1.SGM 05MRN1
