SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Comments: As required by 5 CFR
1320.8(d), comments on the information
collection activities as part of this study
were solicited through the publication
of a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register on 4 May 2022, at 87 FR 26375.
We received two comments. The nature
of each comment and our responses are
summarized below.
Comment: On 4 May 2022, Dr.
Andrew Reamer of George Washington
PO 00000

University sent an email to NSF on
behalf of the American Economic
Association and the Industry Studies
Association. He requested the draft
information collection request (ICR)
materials for the 2023 NSCG.
Response: NSF responded to Dr.
Reamer on 13 May 2022, explaining that
the 2023 NSCG ICR materials were in
the process of being prepared and that
the NSCG would be largely unchanged
from its 2021 design, except that all the
COVID-related items would be removed
from the questionnaire such that the
content would be returned to what it
was in 2019.
Comment: On 24 June 2022, Dr.
Jacqueline Robinson-Hamm sent an
email to NSF on behalf of Dr. Patricia
Morris, President of the Federation of
American Societies for Experimental
Biology (FASEB). FASEB recommended
that the National Center for Science and
Engineering Statistics (NCSES) expand
its efforts to collect sexual orientation
and gender identity (SOGI) data via its
workforce surveys.
Response: NSF responded to Drs.
Morris and Robinson-Hamm on 4
August 2022, informing them that
NCSES continues to take a measured
approach to adding SOGI questions to
its surveys, to appropriately balance
data quality, respondent burden,
confidentiality, and data user needs,
and directing them to an FAQ on the
NCSES website (here).
Title of Collection: 2023 National
Survey of College Graduates.
OMB Control Number: 3145–0141.
Summary of Collection: The National
Survey of College Graduates (NSCG) has
been conducted biennially since the
1970s. The 2023 NSCG sample will be
selected from the 2021 American
Community Survey (ACS) and the 2021
NSCG, providing coverage of the college
graduate population residing in the
United States. The purpose of this
repeated cross-sectional survey is to
collect data that will be used to provide
national estimates on the science and
engineering workforce and changes in
their employment, education, and
demographic characteristics.

The National Science Foundation Act
of 1950, as subsequently amended,
includes a statutory charge to ‘‘. . .
provide a central clearinghouse for the
collection, interpretation, and analysis
of data on scientific and engineering
resources, and to provide a source of
information for policy formulation by
other agencies of the Federal
Government.’’ The NSCG is designed to
comply with these mandates by
providing information on the supply
and utilization of the nation’s scientists
and engineers.
The U.S. Census Bureau, as in the
past, will conduct the NSCG for NSF.
The survey data collection will begin in
March 2023 using web and mail
questionnaires. Nonrespondents to the
web or mail questionnaire will be
followed up by computer-assisted
telephone interviewing. The
individual’s response to the survey is
voluntary. The survey will be conducted
in conformance with Census Bureau
statistical quality standards and, as
such, the NSCG data will be afforded
protection under the applicable Census
Bureau confidentiality statutes.
Use of the Information: NSF uses the
information from the NSCG to prepare
congressionally mandated reports such
as Women, Minorities and Persons with
Disabilities in Science and Engineering
and Science and Engineering Indicators.
A public release file of collected data,
designed to protect respondent
confidentiality, will be made available
to researchers on the internet.
Expected Respondents: A statistical
sample of approximately 166,000
persons will be contacted in 2023. NSF
estimates the 2023 NSCG response rate
to be 65 to 75 percent.
Estimate of Burden: The amount of
time to complete the questionnaire may
vary depending on an individual’s
circumstances; however, on average it
will take approximately 25 minutes to
complete the survey. NSF estimates that
the average annual burden for the 2023
NSCG over the course of the three-year
OMB clearance period will be no more
than 17,292 hours [(166,000 sample
persons × 75% response × 25 minutes)/
3 years].

Nuclear Regulatory
Commission.
ACTION: License amendment application
and exemption; issuance.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is issuing License
Amendment No. 5 to Special Nuclear
Materials (SNM) License No. SNM–2514
for the Humboldt Bay Independent
Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI),
located in Humboldt County, California,
and is granting an exemption that would
relieve Pacific Gas and Electric
Company (PG&E, the licensee) from the
requirement to submit annual effluent
monitoring reports for the Humboldt
Bay ISFSI. The requested amendment
proposes to delete and make
administrative changes to certain
license conditions, revise certain
technical specifications that are no
longer applicable to the Humboldt Bay
ISFSI, and add a new administrative
technical specification concerning the
processing of administrative changes to
Humboldt Bay ISFSI’s quality assurance
program. The amendment also removes
license condition 18, which requires the
licensee to update its final safety
analysis report within 90 days of the
NRC issuing a renewed license.
DATES: The amendment and exemption
were issued on October 11, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. License Amendment
By letter dated December 14, 2021
(ADAMS Accession No. ML21348A389),
the NRC received an application from
PG&E, the licensee of the Humboldt Bay
ISFSI, to amend License No. SNM–2514,
which authorizes the receipt,
possession, storage, and transfer of
spent fuel, reactor-related greater than
Class C waste, and other greater than
Class C radioactive materials at the
Humboldt Bay ISFSI. The requested
amendment incorporates the following
changes to the license:
1. Makes administrative changes to
license conditions that reference
Humboldt Bay Power Plant.
2. Deletes license conditions that are
complete, no longer applicable, or
restate NRC regulations.
3. Revises technical specifications to
remove Humboldt Bay Power Plant
systems, structures, components, and
activities that are no longer applicable.
4. Adds a new administrative
technical specification for processing
administrative changes to the Humboldt
Bay ISFSI Quality Assurance Program.
An administrative completeness
review found the application acceptable
for a technical review (ADAMS
Accession No. ML22027A468). In
accordance with section 72.16 of title 10
of the Code of Federal Regulations (10
CFR), a notice of docketing was
published in the Federal Register on
March 8, 2022 (87 FR 13011). The notice
of docketing included an opportunity to
request a hearing and to petition for
