Comments regarding this information collection are best assured of having their full effect if received within 30 days of this notification. Copies of the submission(s) may be obtained by calling 703–292– 7556. NSF may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB control number, and the agency informs potential persons who are to respond to the collection of information that such persons are not required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Summary of Comments on the Survey of Doctorate Recipients and NSF’s Responses: As required by 5 CFR 1320.8(d), comments on the information collection activities as part of this study were solicited through the publication of a 60-Day Notice in the Federal Register on 5 February 2021, at 86 FR 8384. We received two comments. The nature of each comment and our responses are summarized below. Comment: On 5 February 2021, Dr. Andrew Reamer of George Washington University sent an email to NSF on behalf of the American Economic Association’s Committee on Economic Statistics. He requested the draft information collection request (ICR) materials for the 2021 SDR and asked whether any changes were proposed for the 2021 SDR compared to the 2019 SDR. Response: NSF responded to Dr. Reamer on 2 February 2021, explaining that the 2021 SDR ICR materials were in the process of being prepared and that there were no substantive changes planned. He was directed to the 2019 SDR questionnaires on the NSF website, which would be updated to reflect the survey year. He was also informed that the same instrument, with updates to reflect survey year and modifications to accommodate the circumstances of the coronavirus pandemic, will be used for the 2021 cycle. Comment: NCSES received a comment on 17 March 2021 from Dr. Jon Freeman representing the American Association for the Advancement of VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:20 May 28, 2021 Jkt 253001 Science (AAAS) and the American Educational Research Association (AERA). The commenters requested that NCSES include measures of sexual orientation and gender identity on the SDR and on other NCSES surveys (specifically, the National Survey of College Graduates and the Survey of Earned Doctorates). Response: NCSES informed the commenters that it continues to actively engage on the Federal Committee on Statistical Methodology’s (FCSM) Working Group on Measuring Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity and described its research efforts for development and fielding possible questionnaire additions to address the topic. NCSES informed the commenters that it does not intend to include these measures in the 2021 SDR. Title of Collection: 2021 Survey of Doctorate Recipients. OMB Approval Number: 3145–0020. Summary of Collection: The purpose of this panel survey is to collect data that will be used to provide national estimates on the doctoral science and engineering workforce and changes in their employment, education, and demographic characteristics. The SDR is sponsored by the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) within the NSF and by the National Institutes of Health. The National Science Foundation Act of 1950, as subsequently amended, includes a statutory charge to ‘‘. . . provide a central clearinghouse for the collection, interpretation, and analysis of data on scientific and engineering resources, and to provide a source of information for policy formulation by other agencies of the Federal Government.’’ The SDR is designed to comply with these mandates by providing information on the supply and utilization of the nation’s doctoral level scientists and engineers. Use of the Information: The NSF uses the information from the SDR to prepare congressionally-mandated reports such as Women, Minorities and Persons with Disabilities in Science and Engineering and Science and Engineering Indicators. NCSES also produces, on a biennial basis, a set of statistical tables from the SDR, and publishes statistics from the SDR in other reports. Expected Respondents: A statistical sample of 130,938 individuals who had earned a research doctorate degree from a U.S. academic institution in the fields of science, engineering, or health (SEH) will be contacted in 2021; these individuals may reside in the U.S. or abroad. As with prior SDR data collection cycles, the sample consists of all eligible cases from the previous PO 00000 Frm 00063 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 29295 cycle, as well as a sample of new doctoral graduates, who received their doctorate between 1 July 2017 and 30 June 2019. In addition, the sample may include 5,000 cases that will be part of a non-production bridge panel designed to quantify the potential impact of question wording modifications on key survey estimates. Another 9% of the production sample may submit an interround updated contact form that takes about 3 minutes to complete. Estimate of Burden: NCSES expects the overall 2021 SDR response rate to be approximately 70 percent. The amount of time to complete the questionnaire may vary depending on an individual’s circumstances; however, based on 2019 SDR completion times, NCSES estimates an average completion time of approximately 21 minutes. NCSES estimates that the average annual burden for the 2021 survey cycle over the course of the three-year OMB clearance period will be no more than 10,882 hours [(130,938 individuals × 70% response × 21 minutes) + (125,938 × 9% participation × 3 minutes)]/3 years/60 minutes.

48
Order Extending the Effectiveness of the Approval of the Transfer of 
Licenses and Conforming Amendments

I

    ZionSolutions, LLC is the holder of U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission (NRC, the Commission) Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-39 
and DPR-48 for the Zion Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2, 
respectively (ZNPS), and the associated general license for the ZNPS 
independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI), which are located 
in Lake County, Illinois. ZionSolutions, LLC is authorized to possess 
and maintain ZNPS and the ZNPS ISFSI. Operation of ZNPS is no longer 
authorized under these licenses.

II

    By Order dated November 26, 2019 (Transfer Order), the Commission 
consented to the direct transfer of the ZNPS licenses from 
ZionSolutions, LLC to Exelon Generation Company, LLC and approved draft 
conforming administrative license amendments in accordance with 
Sections 50.80, ``Transfer of licenses,'' 72.50, ``Transfer of 
license,'' and 50.90, ``Application for amendment of license, 
construction permit, or early site permit,'' of Title 10 of the Code of 
Federal Regulations (10 CFR). By its terms, the Transfer Order becomes 
null and void if the transfer is not completed within one year (i.e., 
by November 26, 2020); provided, however, that upon written application 
and for good cause shown, such date may be extended by order. By letter 
dated August 27, 2020, ZionSolutions, LLC submitted a written 
application to extend the effectiveness of the Transfer Order by six 
months, until May 26, 2021. That request was approved by Order dated 
October 21, 2020.

III

    By letter dated April 15, 2021, ZionSolutions, LLC submitted a 
written application to extend the effectiveness of the Transfer Order 
by an additional six months, until November 26, 2021. As stated in the 
application, responses to requests for additional information regarding 
ZNPS Final Status Survey Final Reports (FSSRs) and their associated 
Release Records are currently under review by the NRC staff. The 
extension would provide the NRC staff with additional time to assess 
the responses provided by ZionSolutions, LLC and make a final 
determination regarding the release of land for unrestricted use.
    Based on the above, the NRC staff has determined that 
ZionSolutions, LLC has shown good cause for extending the effectiveness 
of the Transfer Order by an additional six months, as requested.

IV

    Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 161b, 161i, and 184 of the Atomic 
Energy Act of 1954, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Sections 2201(b), 2201(i), 
and 2234; and 10 CFR 50.80 and 10 CFR 72.50, it is hereby ordered that 
the effectiveness of the Transfer Order dated November 26, 2019, is 
extended until November 26, 2021. Should the subject license transfer 
from ZionSolutions, LLC to Exelon Generation Company, LLC not be 
completed by November 26, 2021, the Transfer Order shall become null 
and void; provided, however, that upon written application and for good 
cause shown, such date may be extended by order.
    This Order is effective upon issuance.
    For further details with respect to this Order, see the written 
application for extension dated April 15, 2021, which is available 
electronically through the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and
