Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 120 / Monday, June 22, 2020 / Notices
Facilities are defined as shared-use
infrastructure, instrumentation and
equipment that are accessible to a broad
community of researchers and/or
educators. Facilities may be centralized
or may consist of distributed
installations. They may incorporate
large-scale networking or computational
infrastructure, multi-user instruments or
networks of such instruments, or other
infrastructure, instrumentation and
equipment having a major impact on a
broad segment of a scientific or
engineering discipline. Historically,
awards have been made for such diverse
projects as accelerators, telescopes,
research vessels and aircraft, and
geographically distributed but
networked sensors and instrumentation.
The growth and diversification of
large facility projects require that NSF
remain attentive to the ever-changing
issues and challenges inherent in their
planning, construction, operation,
management and oversight. Most
importantly, dedicated, competent NSF
and awardee staff are needed to manage
and oversee these projects; giving the
attention and oversight that good
practice dictates and that proper
accountability to taxpayers and
Congress demands. To this end, there is
also a need for consistent, documented
requirements and procedures to be
understood and used by NSF program
managers and awardees for all such
major projects.
Use of the Information: Facilities are
an essential part of the science and
engineering enterprise and supporting
them is one major responsibility of the
National Science Foundation (NSF).
NSF makes awards to external entities—
primarily universities, consortia of
universities or non-profit
organizations—to undertake
construction, management and
operation of facilities. Such awards
frequently take the form of cooperative
agreements. NSF does not directly
construct or operate the facilities it
supports. However, NSF retains
responsibility for overseeing their
development, management and
successful performance. Business
Systems Reviews (BSR) of the National
Science Foundation’s (NSF) Major
Facilities are designed to provide
reasonable assurance that the business
systems (people, processes, and
technologies) of NSF Recipients are
effective in meeting administrative
responsibilities and satisfying Federal
regulatory requirements, including
those listed in NSF’s Proposal & Award
Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG).
These reviews are not considered
audits but are intended to be assistive in
nature; aiding the Recipient in following
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 250001
good practices where appropriate and
bringing them into compliance, if
needed. A team of BSR Participants is
assembled to assess the Recipient’s
policies, procedures, and practices to
determine whether, taken collectively,
these administrative business systems
used in managing the Facility meet NSF
award expectations and comply with
Federal regulations.
The BSR Guide is designed for use by
both our customer community and NSF
staff for guidance in leading these
reviews. The BSR Guide defines the
overall framework and structure and
summarizes the details outlined in the
internal operating guidelines and
procedures used by BSR Participants to
execute the review process.
Management principles and practices
are specified for seven core functional
areas (CFA) and are used by BSR
Participants in performing these
evaluations. Roles and responsibilities
of the NSF stakeholders involved in the
process are outlined in the BSR Guide
as well as the expectations of the
Recipient.
This version of the Business Systems
Guide aligns with the Uniform
Guidance and the NSF Major Facilities
Guide.
This Guide will be updated
periodically to reflect changes in
requirements, policies and/or
procedures. Award Recipients are
expected to monitor and adopt the
requirements and best practices
included in the Guide.
The submission of Award Recipient
and Project administrative business
process and procedural documentation
used in support of operations of the
Major Facilities is part of the collection
of information. This information is used
to help NSF fulfill this responsibility in
supporting merit-based research and
education projects in all the scientific
and engineering disciplines. The
Foundation also has a continuing
commitment to provide oversight on
facilities design and construction which
must be balanced against monitoring its
information collection so as to identify
and address any excessive review and
reporting burdens.
NSF has approximately twenty-four
(24) Major Facilities in various stages of
design, construction, operations and
divestment. The need for a BSR and
review scope is based on NSF’s internal
annual Major Facility Portfolio Risk
Assessment and the assessment of
various risks factors.
Burden to the Public: The Foundation
estimates that approximately one and
half (1.5) Full Time Equivalents (FTEs)
are necessary for each major facility
project to respond to a BSR

requirements on an annual basis; or
2,824 hours per year. With an average of
four (4) conducted a year, this equates
to roughly 5 FTEs or 11,296 public
burden hours annually.

License No. SNM–2514 for the receipt,
possession, transfer, and storage of
spent fuel from the Humboldt Bay
Nuclear Plant in the Humboldt Bay
Independent Spent Fuel Storage
Installation (ISFSI), located in
Humboldt County, California. The
renewed license authorizes operation of
the Humboldt ISFSI in accordance with

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Discussion
Based upon the application dated July
10, 2018, as supplemented October 22,
2018, July 1, 2019, July 25, 2019, and
November 21, 2019, the NRC has issued
a renewed license to the licensee for the
Humboldt Bay ISFSI, located in
Humboldt County, California. The
renewed license SNM–2514 authorizes
and requires operation of the Humboldt
Bay ISFSI in accordance with the
provisions of the renewed license and
its technical specifications. The
renewed license will expire on
November 17, 2065.
The licensee’s application for a
renewed license complies with the
standards and requirements of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended
(the Act), and the NRC’s rules and
regulations. The NRC has made
appropriate findings as required by the
Act and the NRC’s regulations in
Chapter 1 of title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR), and sets
forth those findings in the renewed
license. The agency afforded an
opportunity for a hearing in the Notice
of Opportunity for a Hearing published
in the Federal Register on December 26,
2018 (83 FR 66314). The NRC received
no request for a hearing or petition for
leave to intervene following the notice.
The NRC staff prepared a safety
evaluation report for the renewal of the
ISFSI license and concluded, based on
that evaluation that the ISFSI will
continue to meet the regulations in 10
CFR part 72. The NRC staff also
prepared an environmental assessment
and finding of no significant impact for
the renewal of this license, which were
published on May 5, 2020 (85 FR
26734). The NRC staff’s environmental
assessment included the impacts of
continued storage of spent nuclear fuel
(as documented in NUREG–2157,
‘‘Generic Environmental Impact
Statement for Continued Storage of
Spent Fuel’’). The NRC staff concluded
that renewal of this ISFSI license will
not have a significant impact on the
quality of the human environment.
