The Board meeting replaces the April 29, 2020, Spring Meeting, which the Board postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Details for viewing and participating in the virtual meeting will be available on the Board’s website (www.nwtrb.gov) not later than one week before the meeting.

Speakers representing the DOE Office of Nuclear Energy and the national laboratories will report on R&D projects related to the feasibility of disposing in a geologic repository the SNF stored in DPCs without repackaging the SNF into other canisters. Speakers will review past studies on the technical feasibility of disposal of SNF in DPCs, including the technical bases for the engineering feasibility and thermal management of DPC disposal. The Board will hear presentations on DOE’s ongoing R&D activities. Speakers will address analysis of DPC reactivity, which is used in criticality calculations, criticality consequence analyses for the period after the repository closes, and the testing and analysis of using filler materials to fill the void spaces inside a DPC prior to disposal. A detailed meeting agenda will be available on the Board’s website approximately one week before the meeting. The meeting will be open to the public, and opportunities for public comment will be provided. Details on how to comment publicly during the meeting will be provided on the Board’s website along with the details for viewing the meeting. A limit may be set on the time allowed for the presentation of individual remarks. However, written comments of any length may be submitted to the Board staff by mail or electronic mail.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: The Paul D. Coverdell Fellow program. OMB Control Number: 0420–* * * *. Type of Request: New. Affected Public: Individuals. Respondents Obligation to Reply: Voluntary. Burden to the Public: Estimated burden (hours) of the collection of information: a. Number of respondents: 223. b. Frequency of response: 1 time. c. Completion time: 15 minutes. d. Annual burden hours: 55.75. General Description of Collection: The Paul D. Coverdell Fellows program is a graduate school benefit for returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs). The program, managed by the Peace Corps’ Office of University Programs, is made in formal partnership with graduate degree granting educational institutions across the United States. The partnering institutions are required to offer financial support to RPCVs who, in turn, complete substantive internships related to their program of study in underserved communities in the United States. The Office of University Programs requires each Coverdell Fellow partner university to submit an annual Census Report to ensure it is meeting the requirements agreed upon in its signed standard Memorandum of Agreement between the Peace Corps and the institution. Collection of this information allows the Peace Corps Office of University Programs to ensure the university is providing all the necessary benefits and support to the Fellows (returned Peace Corps Volunteer graduate school students) enrolled in the program. Although this collection is called a ‘‘Census Report’’ no statistical methods are employed. Request for Comment: Peace Corps invites comments on whether the proposed collections of information are necessary for proper performance of the functions of the Peace Corps, including whether the information will have practical use; the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the information to be collected; and, ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of automated collection techniques, when E:\FR\FM\20JYN1.SGM 20JYN1
