Abstract
Proposed Project: The purpose of the
NSF Graduate Research Fellowship
Program is to help ensure the vitality
and diversity of the scientific and
engineering workforce of the United
States. The program recognizes and
supports outstanding graduate students
who are pursuing research-based
master’s and doctoral degrees in
science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics (STEM) and in STEM
education. The GRFP provides three
years of support, to be used during a
five-year fellowship period, for the
graduate education of individuals who
have demonstrated their potential for
significant research achievements in
STEM and STEM education.
The Graduate Research Fellowship
Program uses several sources of
information in assessing and
documenting program performance and
impact. These sources include reports
from program evaluation, the GRFP
Committee of Visitors, and data
compiled from the applications. In
addition, GRFP Fellows submit annual
activity reports to NSF.
The GRFP Completion report is
proposed as a continuing component of
the annual reporting requirement for the
program. This report, submitted by the
GRFP Institution, certifies the
completion status of Fellows at the
institution (e.g., in progress, completed,
graduated, transferred, or withdrawn).
The existing Completion Report, Grants
Roster Report, and the Program Expense
Report comprise the GRFP Annual
Reporting requirements from the
Grantee GRFP institution. Through
submission of the Completion Report to
NSF GRFP institutions certify the
current status of all GRFP Fellows at the
institution as either: In Progress,
Graduated, Transferred, or Withdrawn.
For Graduate Fellows with Graduated
status, the graduation date is a required
reporting element. Collection of this
information allows the program to
obtain information on the current status
of Fellows, the number and/or
percentage of Graduate Fellowship
recipients who complete a science or
engineering graduate degree, and an
estimate of time to degree completion.
The report must be certified and
submitted by the institution’s
designated Coordinating Official (CO)
annually.
Use of the Information: The
completion report data provides NSF
with accurate Fellow information
regarding completion of the Fellows’
E:\FR\FM\04MRN1.SGM
04MRN1
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 41 / Thursday, March 4, 2021 / Notices
graduate programs. The data is used by
NSF in its assessment of the impact of
its investments in the GRFP, and
informs its program management.
Estimate of Burden: Overall average
time will be 15 minutes per Fellow
(8,250 Fellows) for a total of 2,063 hours
for all institutions with Fellows. An
estimate for institutions with 12 or
fewer Fellows will be 1 hour,
institutions with 12–48 fellows will be
4 hours, and institutions over 48
Fellows will be 10 hours.
Respondents: Academic institutions
with NSF Graduate Fellows (GRFP
Institutions).
Estimated Number of Responses per
Report: One from each of the 271
current GRFP institutions.
Dated: March 1, 2021.

(NEPA), its implementing procedures at
39 CFR 775, and the President’s Council

(40 CFR parts 1500–1508), to prepare an
EIS to evaluate the environmental
impacts of the proposed action versus a
COTS vehicle alternative and a ‘‘no
action’’ alternative. The EIS will
consider the physical, biological,
cultural, and socioeconomic
environments. To assist in this process,
the Postal Service is soliciting the

The U.S. Postal Service
announces its intention to prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the purchase over 10 years of 50,000
to 165,000 purpose-built, right-handdrive vehicles—the Next Generation
Delivery Vehicle (NGDV)—to replace
existing delivery vehicles nationwide
that are approaching the end of their
service life. While the Postal Service has
not yet determined the precise mix of
the powertrains in the new vehicles to
be purchased, current plans are for the
new vehicle purchases to consist of a
mix of internal combustion engine and
battery electric powertrains; the
purchases will also be designed to be
capable of retrofits to keep pace with
advances in electric vehicle
technologies. The EIS will evaluate the
environmental impacts of the purchase
and operation of the NGDV, as well as
a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)
vehicle alternative and a ‘‘no action’’
alternative.
