at conferences, published in the
proceedings of conferences, or in
journals. Improved NCSES surveys, data
collections, and data dissemination will
help policymakers in decisions on
research and development funding,
graduate education, and the scientific
and engineering workforce, as well as
contributing to reduced survey costs.
Expected Respondents: The
respondents will be from industry,
academia, nonprofit organizations,
members of the public, and State, local,
and Federal governments. Respondents
will be either individuals or
institutions, depending on the topic
under investigation. Qualitative
procedures will generally be conducted
in person, online (using Zoom,
Microsoft Teams, or other conferencing
tools), or over the phone. Quantitative
procedures may be conducted using
mail, Web, email, smartphone app, or
telephone modes, depending on the
topic under investigation. Up to 28,515
respondents may be contacted across all
projects. No respondent will be
contacted more than twice in one year
under this generic clearance. Every
effort will be made to use technology to
limit the burden on respondents from
small entities.
Both qualitative and quantitative
methods will be used to improve
NCSES’s current data collection
instruments and processes and to
reduce respondent burden, as well as to
develop new surveys and new or
improved data dissemination tools.
Qualitative and quantitative methods
that may be used include, but are not
limited to, the following: Behavior
coding, split panel tests, experimental
pilot studies, field tests, focus groups,
respondent debriefings, exploratory
interviews, cognitive interviews, and
usability tests. Cognitive interviews and
usability tests may include the use of
scenarios, paraphrasing, card sorts,
vignette classifications, rating tasks, or
participatory design methods (e.g.,
collaborative digital whiteboards).
NCSES may conduct these studies using
interviewer-administered or selfadministered methods, including online
convenience samples.
Estimate of Burden: NCSES estimates
that a total reporting and recordkeeping
burden of 11,500 hours will result from
activities to improve its surveys. The
calculation is shown in Table 1.

Comments: Comments are invited on
(a) whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of NCSES,
including whether the information shall
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of
NCSES’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, use, 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 those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Sigma-Aldrich Company’s
(Sigma’s) Fort Mims Site is located at
11542 Fort Mims Drive, Maryland
Heights, Missouri in a commercial/
industrial park. The site consists of a 3acre parcel of land previously used for
the radiolabeling of chemicals with
carbon-14 and tritium.
II. Discussion
By email dated August 22, 2019, the
NRC received an application to amend
Sigma’s decommissioning plan. That
application was supplemented by letter
dated April 27, 2020, requesting a
license amendment for the termination
of NRC Materials License No. 24–
16273–01, and by letter dated October
19, 2020, providing the NRC Form 313
‘‘Application for Materials License’’ for
this action. By email dated July 31,
2020, the NRC staff accepted for
detailed technical review Sigma’s
license amendment request to amend
the decommissioning plan and
terminate the license.
The NRC staff reviewed the revised
decommissioning plan with the sitespecific dose model and license
termination request. Based on Sigma’s
dose analysis and the NRC’s
independent and confirmatory surveys
and analyses, the NRC staff concluded
in a safety evaluation report dated
November 16, 2021, that the Fort Mims
Site met the dose criteria for
unrestricted use and that the residual
radioactivity is as low as reasonably
achievable, consistent with section
20.1402 of title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, ‘‘Radiological criteria for
unrestricted use.’’ Based on an
environmental assessment dated
November 12, 2021, NRC staff
concluded that there would be no
significant environmental impacts.
Accordingly, NRC Materials License No.
24–16273–01 for the Fort Mims Site was
terminated.
