SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department of Education (ED), in

public and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed,

information. This helps the Department
assess the impact of its information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. It also
helps the public understand the
Department’s information collection
requirements and provide the requested
data in the desired format. ED is
soliciting comments on the proposed
information collection request (ICR) that
is described below. The Department of
Education is especially interested in
public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) Is this collection
necessary to the proper functions of the
Department; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might the Department enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might the Department minimize the
burden of this collection on the
respondents, including through the use
of information technology. Please note
that written comments received in
response to this notice will be
considered public records.
Title of Collection: Graduate
Assistance in Areas of National Need
(GAANN) Performance Report.
OMB Control Number: 1840–0748.
Type of Review: A revision of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local, and Tribal Governments; Private
Sector.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 291.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 3,274.
Abstract: GAANN grantees must
submit a performance report annually.
In addition, grantees are required to
submit a supplement to the final
performance report two years after
submission of their final report. The
VerDate Sep<11>2014

reports are used to evaluate grantee
performance. Further, the data from the
reports will be aggregated to evaluate
the accomplishments and impact of the
GAANN Program as a whole. Results
will be reported to the Secretary in
order to respond to GPRA requirements.
Minor changes have been made to the
collection to clarify the intent of the
questions and update the areas of
national need. These changes did not
alter the anticipated burden hours
associated with this collection. There
was a small increase in total burden
hours based on the recalculation of the
burden on public respondents.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Amended Record of Decision for the
Management of Cesium and Strontium
Capsules at the Hanford Site, Richland,
Washington
Department of Energy.
Amended record of decision.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
This is an amendment to the
U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE)
Record of Decision for the Final Tank
Closure and Waste Management
Environmental Impact Statement for the
Hanford Site, Richland, Washington
(DOE/EIS–0391, December 2012)
(TC&WM EIS). From 1974 to 1985,
cesium and strontium were recovered
from high-level radioactive waste stored
in underground tanks at the Hanford
Site, packed in corrosion-resistant
capsules, and placed in storage under
water at Hanford’s Waste Encapsulation
and Storage Facility (WESF). The
TC&WM EIS evaluated storage,
treatment, and final disposition of these
capsules and their contents. This
amended Record of Decision (ROD)
announces DOE’s decision to move the
capsules from wet storage at WESF to a
new dry storage facility.
ADDRESSES: For copies of this amended
ROD, the first ROD, the TC&WM EIS, or
any related NEPA documents, please

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The cesium and strontium capsules
were produced at Hanford during the
1970s and 1980s. Cesium and strontium
isotopes were separated from other
radioactive tank waste, converted to
cesium chloride and strontium fluoride,
and then encapsulated for long-term
storage. There are 1,335 cesium capsules
and 601 strontium capsules stored
under water in a pool at WESF.
Synopsis of the TC&WM EIS and the
First Record of Decision
The final TC&WM EIS was issued in
December 2012. It analyzed a number of
alternatives for retrieving waste from
Hanford’s single-shell tanks, treating
that waste, and closing the tanks. It also
analyzed alternatives for managing other
types of wastes at Hanford, and for
decommissioning the Fast Flux Test
Facility.1 Three alternatives for
managing the cesium and strontium
capsules now stored in WESF were
evaluated: (1) The no action alternative,
which was continued storage in WESF;
(2) shipment of the capsules from WESF
to new facilities where the capsules
would be opened and their contents
made into a slurry for processing in the
Waste Treatment Plant; and (3) transfer
of the capsules from WESF to a new
interim dry storage facility where they
would remain until their contents were
treated and sent to a geologic repository.
The third alternative was included in
the final EIS in response to comments
from the state of Oregon and the
Yakama Nation.
The first ROD, published on
December 13, 2013 (78 FR 75913),
1 The alternatives analyzed in the TC&WM EIS
are described in detail in Chapter 2 of the final EIS.
Chapter 2 also identifies DOE’s preferred
alternatives for tank closure, decommissioning of
the Fast Flux Test Facility, and waste management
on pages 2–321 through 2–322. The final EIS also
states that DOE would not make any decision
regarding the final disposition of the capsules after
treatment based on this EIS. (Final TC&WM EIS at
page 1–15.)
