This data collection is necessary to provide NSF with timely and actionable information about the characteristics, broad strategies and activities, shortterm outputs, and outcomes associated with the approximately 800 awards funded through the CISE broadening participation in computing (BPC) pilot. The information collected will provide a better understanding of: (1) the outputs and outcomes of the BPC pilot projects and whether they are correlated with national trends related to computing, (2) the feasibility of measuring the types of impacts associated with BPC pilots; and (3) promising strategies. Use of the Information: Aggregate results from the survey and interviews will be summarized in reports developed by the evaluation contractor that will be provided to NSF. While the individual survey and interview responses will be identifiable to the contractor, the reports provided to NSF will only include overall results. Westat will not report any No individual survey or individual responses will be reported to NSF, and no information about individuals participating in the surveys and interviews will be released to anyone outside the contractor’s organization. The data collected and reported on will be used for planning, management, and evaluation purposes.

Discussion The NRC is issuing the final FONSI and accompanying supplement to the NRC staff’s EA for the license renewal of CBR’s ISR facility. The EA supplement describes the NRC staff’s efforts to address the deficiencies identified in the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board’s partial initial decision (LBP–16–7), which found that the NRC staff did not meet its identification obligations under the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and was deficient under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) ‘‘for failing to take a hard look at potential TCPs [traditional cultural properties] within the Crow Butte license area[.]’’ Specifically, the EA supplement describes the methodology, implementation, and results of the 2021 tribal cultural survey to identify sites of significance to the Oglala Sioux Tribe. It also documents the NRC staff’s evaluation of the identified sites according to the criteria for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and the NRC staff’s assessment of potential impacts of the license renewal on the identified sites under the NHPA (for sites eligible for the NRHP) or NEPA (for other sites of significance to the Tribe). Based on these evaluations in the EA supplement, the NRC staff concludes that there will be no significant impacts to cultural resources identified during the 2021 tribal cultural survey. Accordingly, based on the 2014 EA (ADAMS Accession No. ML14288A517) and the EA supplement, the NRC staff has concluded that an environmental impact statement is not necessary and a FONSI remains appropriate. II. Finding of No Significant Impact Based on its review of the proposed action, in accordance with the requirements in part 51 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ‘‘Environmental Protection Regulations for Domestic Licensing and Related Regulatory Functions,’’ the NRC staff has concluded that the proposed action, renewal of NRC Source Materials License No. SUA–1534 for CBR’s ISR VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:52 Oct 24, 2022 Jkt 259001 facility located in Crawford, Nebraska, will not have a significant impact on the cultural resources discussed in the EA supplement and will not significantly affect the quality of the human environment. Therefore, the NRC staff has determined, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.31, that preparation of an environmental impact statement is not required for the proposed action and a FONSI is appropriate. III.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Discussion

    The NRC is issuing the final FONSI and accompanying supplement to 
the NRC staff's EA for the license renewal of CBR's ISR facility. The 
EA supplement describes the NRC staff's efforts to address the 
deficiencies identified in the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board's 
partial initial decision (LBP-16-7), which found that the NRC staff did 
not meet its identification obligations under the National Historic 
Preservation Act (NHPA) and was deficient under the National 
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) ``for failing to take a hard look at 
potential TCPs [traditional cultural properties] within the Crow Butte 
license area[.]'' Specifically, the EA supplement describes the 
methodology, implementation, and results of the 2021 tribal cultural 
survey to identify sites of significance to the Oglala Sioux Tribe. It 
also documents the NRC staff's evaluation of the identified sites 
according to the criteria for listing in the National Register of 
Historic Places (NRHP) and the NRC staff's assessment of potential 
impacts of the license renewal on the identified sites under the NHPA 
(for sites eligible for the NRHP) or NEPA (for other sites of 
significance to the Tribe). Based on these evaluations in the EA 
supplement, the NRC staff concludes that there will be no significant 
impacts to cultural resources identified during the 2021 tribal 
cultural survey. Accordingly, based on the 2014 EA (ADAMS Accession No. 
ML14288A517) and the EA supplement, the NRC staff has concluded that an 
environmental impact statement is not necessary and a FONSI remains 
appropriate.

II. Finding of No Significant Impact

    Based on its review of the proposed action, in accordance with the 
requirements in part 51 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 
(10 CFR), ``Environmental Protection Regulations for Domestic Licensing 
and Related Regulatory Functions,'' the NRC staff has concluded that 
the proposed action, renewal of NRC Source Materials License No. SUA-
1534 for CBR's ISR facility located in Crawford, Nebraska, will not 
have a significant impact on the cultural resources discussed in the EA 
supplement and will not significantly affect the quality of the human 
environment. Therefore, the NRC staff has determined, pursuant to 10 
CFR 51.31, that preparation of an environmental impact statement is not 
required for the proposed action and a FONSI is appropriate.

III. Additional Information

    The NRC published a notice of the availability of the draft EA 
supplement and draft FONSI in the Federal Register on August 26, 2022 
(87 FR 52597) for a 30-day public comment period. The public comment 
period closed on September 26, 2022. The ADAMS accession numbers for 
the public comments on the draft EA supplement and draft FONSI, and the 
NRC staff's responses to the public comments, are provided in an 
appendix to the final EA supplement.

    Dated: October 19, 2022.
