Download as PDF lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 147 / Wednesday, August 4, 2021 / Notices REUs provide undergraduate students at U.S. higher education institutions to work with a faculty on a research project. They can take the form of REU Sites or REU Supplements. REU Sites are based on independent proposals to initiate and conduct projects that engage a number of students in research, and REU Supplements are included as a component of proposals for new or renewal NSF grants or cooperative agreements or may be requested for ongoing NSF-funded research projects. By offering this opportunity to undergraduate students the REU program seeks to expand student participation in all kinds of research— both disciplinary and interdisciplinary—encompassing efforts by individual investigators, groups, centers, national facilities, and others. It draws on the integration of research and education to attract a diverse pool of talented students into careers in science and engineering, including teaching and education research related to science and engineering, and to help ensure that these students receive the best education possible. The data collection intends to assess the impact of REU participation on career pathways and will be done through an online survey. The researchers will collect data from past participants including the students and the mentors with a separate survey customized for each group. The specific evaluation objectives are: 1. Identify the career trajectory of the REU participants since their participation in the REU program including degrees they received, institutions they attended, and their current status (e.g., employed, graduate students). 2. Document the structure of the REU experience that the respondents participated in. These may include the type of REU (e.g., Site, Supplement), location of REU, and timing of REU. 3. Describe the REU mentors’ perceptions of the REU program on the student participants and the mentors’ career development. 4. Examine the skills the participants gained and experiences they had during their REU participation. These may include technical skills, information on graduate school application process, and research training. 5. Analyze the relationships between REU participation and career pathways specifically focusing on whether these experiences are associated with the participants’ interest in and ultimate selection of research careers in computing. Ultimately, the findings from the analysis of this data collection will be VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:45 Aug 03, 2021 Jkt 253001 used to improve the impact of CISE REU Program in order to better reach its goals of providing meaningful research opportunities to undergraduate students and, in doing so, attracting a broad range of students to computing/STEM careers. Use of information: The information collected through this survey will be used to evaluate the NSF CISE REU Program. Expected Respondents: The survey will be sent to students and mentors who participated in the NSF CISE REU Program through an REU Site or a Supplement. Further, in order to obtain data from an appropriate comparison group, the researchers will also include participants of other REUs and similar activities. The CISE REU Program participant list will be obtained from NSF and comparison group participants will be culled from a list of individuals previously surveyed by the researchers. The estimated number of individuals who will be receiving this survey is 25,000. Based on an approximate response rate of 30%, there will be an estimated 7,500 respondents when the data collection is completed. Average time per respondent: The online survey is designed to be completed in 20 minutes or less. Frequency: Each respondent will be asked to complete this survey once during late summer/early fall 2021. Estimated burden on public: Based on 7,500 estimated responses and 20 minutes per respondent, the estimate for this data collection is 2,500 burden hours. Comments: Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Introduction The NRC is considering renewal of Facility Operating License No. R–125, PO 00000 Frm 00062 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 which authorizes the licensee to operate the UMLRR, located on the campus of UML in Lowell, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, at a maximum steadystate thermal power of 1.0 MW. The renewed license would authorize continued operation of UMLRR for an additional 20 years from the date of issuance of the renewed license. UML submitted its renewal application by letter dated October 20, 2015. UML subsequently supplemented its renewal application as described under ‘‘Identification of the Proposed Action’’ in Section II of this notice. Therefore, as required by section 51.21 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ‘‘Criteria for and identification of licensing and regulatory actions requiring environmental assessments,’’ the NRC prepared this EA. Based on the results of the EA, the NRC did not identify any significant impacts from the proposed action (i.e., license renewal) and is, therefore, issuing a FONSI in accordance with 10 CFR 51.32, ‘‘Finding of no significant impact.’’ II. Environmental Assessment Facility Site and Environs The UMLRR is a heterogeneous open pool non-power reactor that has been in operation since January 1975 for teaching and research purposes. The reactor is licensed to operate at a thermal power of 1.0 MW, and is located on the North Campus of UML, which includes classrooms, offices, and other facilities in an area just north of the Middlesex River. The UMLRR is housed in a steelreinforced concrete building. The reactor itself is situated in an open pool, which serves as part of the primary coolant loop as well as moderator, coolant, and shielding. The reactor will be fueled with uranium-silicide and uranium-aluminide low-enriched uranium fuel elements. Waste heat is dissipated via forced-convection cooling at full power, although the reactor can also be cooled via natural convection at lower power levels. A double loop coolant system transfers waste heat from the reactor to the atmosphere via the primary coolant system, heat exchanger, a secondary cooling system, and a cooling tower. Makeup water is provided through municipal water supply (city of Lowell). An Area Radiation Monitoring System continuously monitors gamma and beta radiation levels at locations in the UMLRR facility. A Stack Radiation Monitoring System continuously monitors air exiting the facility through the ventilation system exhaust stack for E:\FR\FM\04AUN1.SGM 04AUN1
