Advisory Committee for Biological Sciences; Notice of Meeting, 54485 [2021-21357]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 188 / Friday, October 1, 2021 / Notices proposed SBIR/STTR project to the appropriate NSF Program Director (PD) for review and possible proposal submission invitation. This Project Pitch is to be submitted by the applying small business (as ‘‘proposer’’) to the relevant NSF SBIR/STTR Phase I technology topic. The Project Pitch outlines solicitation-specific aspects of the project (such as the proposed technology innovation and project objectives with associated level of technical risk). In the past, this Project Pitch (previously referred to as the Executive Summary) was an optional submission via email as an attached two to three-page (maximum) document and was often in varying formats or missing some parts of the required document elements, which in turn caused delays or additional corrections on behalf of the proposer. The NSF SBIR/STTR Phase I Project Pitch form captures the same requested information, as outlined in the NSF SBIR/STTR Phase I Program solicitation, but all within one secure, web-based form. In specific, the form collects submitting proposer company and team information; the proposed technology innovation; the technical objectives and challenges; and the market opportunity. The form also allows the proposer to choose (from a drop-down menu) the most relevant NSF SBIR/STTR Phase I technical topic area, ensuring that the submitted Project Pitch goes to the most appropriate Program Director. Respondents: Small businesses who submit proposals to NSF’s SBIR/STTR Phase I Program. Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 2000. Burden on the Public: 2 hours (per response) for an annual total of 4000 hours. Dated: September 28, 2021. Suzanne H. Plimpton, Reports Clearance Officer, National Science Foundation. Place: National Science Foundation, 2415 Eisenhower Avenue, Alexandria, VA 22314. Due to ongoing social distancing best practices because of COVID–19, the meeting will be held virtually among the Advisory Committee members. Livestreaming will be accessible through this page: https://nsf.gov/ bio/advisory.jsp. Type of Meeting: Open. Contact Person: Karen Cone, National Science Foundation, 2415 Eisenhower Avenue, Alexandria, VA 22314 Telephone: (703) 292–8400. Purpose of Meeting: The Advisory Committee (AC) for the Directorate for Biological Sciences (BIO) provides advice, recommendations, and oversight concerning major program emphases, directions, and goals for the research-related activities of the divisions that make up BIO. Agenda: Agenda items will include a directorate business update, update on BIO’s broadening participation portfolio, a joint session with the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Advisory Committee (MPS AC) to discuss the MPS AC subcommittee report on ‘‘MPS and the Living World’’, update on Technology, Innovation and Partnerships, updates from the BIO AC liaisons to the Committee on Equal Opportunities in Science and Engineering and to the AC for Environmental Research and Education, discussion with the NSF Director, and discussion of BIO’s response to the Division of Biological Infrastructure Committee of Visitors report.

Introduction The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has received an application from Oregon State University (OSU or the licensee) to renew special nuclear materials (SNM) license number SNM–2013. The renewed license would authorize the applicant to continue research on used research and test reactor fuel rods that contain greater than critical mass amounts of special nuclear material. The license renewal would allow OSU to continue licensed activities for 10 years beyond its current license. DATES: A request for a hearing or petition for leave to intervene must be filed by November 30, 2021. The NRC has received, by letter dated July 31, 2021 (ADAMS Accession Number ML21235A325), an application from OSU to renew special nuclear materials license number SNM–2013, which authorizes OSU to conduct nondestructive research on used fuel rods from five research and test reactors. The license renewal would allow OSU to continue licensed activities for 10 years. Paragraph 70.38(a) of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) states that a specific license expires at the end of the day on the expiration date stated in the license unless the licensee has filed an application for renewal under § 70.33 not less than 30 days SUMMARY: NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION Advisory Committee for Biological Sciences; Notice of Meeting In accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (Pub.
