Abstract: The NSF Innovation Corps (I-Corps) Teams Program Executive Summary is an important component of the NSF I-Corps Teams pre-submission process and conveys information needed to direct the proposed team project to the appropriate NSF Program Director (PD) for review and possible proposal submission invitation. This Executive Summary (ES) is to be submitted by the applying team to the cognizant I-Corps Team’s PD outlining solicitation-specific aspects of the project (such as proposed team members, technology, commercial application and NSF lineage). In the past, this ES was submitted via email as an attached two-page (maximum) document and was often in varying formats or missing some parts of the required ES elements. The NSF I-Corps Teams Executive Summary Form captures the same requested information, as outlined in NSF I-Corps Teams Program solicitation, but all within one secure, web-based form. In specific, the form collects submitting team member information (composition, roles and a brief description of each member’s qualifications), Principal Investigator (PI) information (and a brief description of their connection to the team), NSF lineage (relevant current or previous NSF awards), brief descriptions of: the core technology, the potential commercial application, and the current commercialization plan for the proposed technology. If the proposed I-Corps Team is applying based on participation in a local or regional NSF I-Corps Hub, Node or Site training session, the form will provide fields for the applying team to complete regarding the associated I-Corps Hub, Node or Site senior member’s contact information (as a reference), the date of participation, and location of the associated Hub, Node or Site program. Respondents: Investigators who submit proposals to NSF’s I-Corps Teams Program. Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 400. Burden on the Public: 2 hour (per response) for an annual total of 800 hours. PO 00000 Frm 00066 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Dated: September 28, 2021. Suzanne H.

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.
