EPSCoR RII Track-1, Track-2, and Track-4 projects are required to submit annual reports on progress and plans, which are used as a basis for performance review and determining the level of continued funding. To support this review and the management of EPSCoR RII projects, teams are required to develop a set of performance indicators for building sustainable infrastructure and capacity in terms of a strategic plan for the project; measure performance and revise strategies as appropriate; report on the progress relative to the project’s goals and milestones; and describe changes in strategies, if any, for submission annually to NSF. These indicators are both quantitative and descriptive and may include, for example, the characteristics of project personnel and students; aggregate demographics of participants; sources of financial support and in-kind support; expenditures by operational component; characteristics of industrial and/or other sector participation; research activities; workforce development activities; external engagement activities; patents and patent licenses; publications; degrees granted to students involved in project activities; and descriptions of significant advances and other outcomes of the EPSCoR project’s efforts. Part of this reporting takes the form of several spreadsheets to capture specific information to demonstrate progress towards achieving the goals of the program. Such reporting requirements are included in the cooperative agreement which is binding between the awardee institution and NSF. Each project’s annual report addresses the following categories of activities: (1) Research, (2) education, (3) workforce development, (4) partnerships and collaborations, (5) communication and dissemination, (6) sustainability, (7) diversity, (8) management, and (9) evaluation and assessment. For each of the categories the report is required to describe overall objectives for the year; specific accomplishments, impacts, outputs and outcomes; problems or challenges the project has encountered in making progress towards goals; and anticipated problems in performance during the following year. Use of the Information: NSF will use the information to continue its oversight of funded EPSCoR RII projects, and to evaluate the progress of the program. The change would facilitate reporting better aligned with program goals and VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:58 Oct 20, 2020 Jkt 253001 provides data as legislatively required for NSF EPSCoR.

Licensee ITAAC Post-Closure Notifications (IPCNs) Since the last Federal Register notice of the NRC staff’s determinations of successful completion of inspections, tests, and analyses for VEGP Units 3 and 4, the NRC staff has not made additional determinations of the successful completion of inspections, tests, and analyses based on licensee IPCNs submitted under 10 CFR 52.99(c)(2). III. NRC Staff Determination of Completion of ITAAC The NRC staff has determined that the specified inspections, tests, and analyses have been successfully completed, and that the specified acceptance criteria are met. The documentation of the NRC staff’s determination is in the ITAAC Closure Verification Evaluation Form (VEF) for each ITAAC. The VEF is a form that represents the NRC staff’s structured process for reviewing ICNs and IPCNs. Each ICN presents a narrative description of how the ITAAC was completed. The NRC’s ICN review process involves a determination on whether, among other things: (1) Each ICN provides sufficient information, including a summary of the methodology used to perform the ITAAC, to demonstrate that the inspections, tests, and analyses have been successfully completed; (2) each ICN provides sufficient information to demonstrate that the acceptance criteria of the ITAAC are met; and (3) any NRC inspections for the ITAAC have been completed and any ITAAC findings associated with that ITAAC have been closed. The NRC’s review process for IPCNs is similar to that for ICNs but focuses on how the licensee addressed the new, material information giving rise to the IPCN. The NRC staff’s determination of the successful completion of these ITAAC is based on information available at this time and is subject to the licensee’s ability to maintain the condition that the acceptance criteria are met. If the NRC staff receives new information that suggests the NRC staff’s determination on any of these ITAAC is incorrect, then the NRC staff will determine whether to reopen that ITAAC (including withdrawing the NRC staff’s determination on that ITAAC). The NRC staff’s determination will be used to support a subsequent finding, pursuant to 10 CFR 52.103(g), at the end of construction that all acceptance criteria in the combined license are met. The ITAAC closure process is not finalized VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:58 Oct 20, 2020 Jkt 253001 for these ITAAC until the NRC makes an affirmative finding under 10 CFR 52.103(g). Any future updates to the status of these ITAAC will be reflected on the NRC’s website at https:// www.nrc.gov/reactors/new-reactors/ oversight/itaac.html. This notice fulfills the NRC staff’s obligations under 10 CFR 52.99(e)(1) to publish a notice in the Federal Register of the NRC staff’s determination of the successful completion of inspections, tests, and analyses.

Oglethorpe Power Corporation, MEAG Power SPVM, LLC., MEAG Power SPVJ, 
LLC., MEAG Power SPVP, LLC., and the City of Dalton, Georgia, 
(hereafter called the licensee) has submitted ITAAC closure 
notifications (ICNs) under Sec.  52.99(c)(1) of title 10 of the Code of 
Federal Regulations (10 CFR), informing the NRC that the licensee has 
successfully performed the required inspections, tests, and analyses, 
and that the acceptance criteria are met for:

VEGP Unit 3 ITAAC

    2.1.02.08d.i (32), 2.1.02.08e (40), 2.1.02.09b.ii (43), 
2.2.03.08c.i.01 (177), 2.2.03.08c.i.03 (179), 2.2.03.08c.i.04 (180),

    The ITAAC for VEGP Unit 3 are in Appendix C of the VEGP Unit 3

Unit 4 are in Appendix C of VEGP

Unit 4 combined license (ADAMS Accession No. ML14100A135).

II. Licensee ITAAC Post-Closure Notifications (IPCNs)

    Since the last Federal Register notice of the NRC staff's 
determinations of successful completion of inspections, tests, and 
analyses for VEGP Units 3 and 4, the NRC staff has not made additional 
determinations of the successful completion of inspections, tests, and 
analyses based on licensee IPCNs submitted under 10 CFR 52.99(c)(2).

III. NRC Staff Determination of Completion of ITAAC

    The NRC staff has determined that the specified inspections, tests, 
and analyses have been successfully completed, and that the specified 
acceptance criteria are met. The documentation of the NRC staff's 
determination is in the ITAAC Closure Verification Evaluation Form 
(VEF) for each ITAAC. The VEF is a form that represents the NRC staff's 
structured process for reviewing ICNs and IPCNs.
    Each ICN presents a narrative description of how the ITAAC was 
completed. The NRC's ICN review process involves a determination on 
whether, among other things: (1) Each ICN provides sufficient 
information, including a summary of the methodology used to perform the 
ITAAC, to demonstrate that the inspections, tests, and analyses have 
been successfully completed; (2) each ICN provides sufficient 
information to demonstrate that the acceptance criteria of the ITAAC 
are met; and (3) any NRC inspections for the ITAAC have been completed 
and any ITAAC findings associated with that ITAAC have been closed. The 
NRC's review process for IPCNs is similar to that for ICNs but focuses 
on how the licensee addressed the new, material information giving rise 
to the IPCN.
    The NRC staff's determination of the successful completion of these 
ITAAC is based on information available at this time and is subject to 
the licensee's ability to maintain the condition that the acceptance 
criteria are met. If the NRC staff receives new information that 
suggests the NRC staff's determination on any of these ITAAC is 
incorrect, then the NRC staff will determine whether to reopen that 
ITAAC (including withdrawing the NRC staff's determination on that 
ITAAC). The NRC staff's determination will be used to support a 
subsequent finding, pursuant to 10 CFR 52.103(g), at the end of 
construction that all acceptance criteria in the combined license are 
met. The ITAAC closure process is not finalized for these ITAAC until 
the NRC makes an affirmative finding under 10 CFR 52.103(g). Any future 
updates to the status of these ITAAC will be reflected on the NRC's 
website at https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/new-reactors/oversight/itaac.html.
    This notice fulfills the NRC staff's obligations under 10 CFR 
52.99(e)(1) to publish a notice in the Federal Register of the NRC 
staff's determination of the successful completion of inspections, 
tests, and analyses.
