In addition, these data will also allow NSF to evaluate the intellectual merit of the program, its broader impact in developing the STEM workforce and its potential to enhance the participation of underrepresented and underserved STEM communities in such traineeships. Finally, in compliance with the Evidence Act of 2019, information collected will be used in satisfying congressional requests, responding to queries from the public, informing the NSF’s external Committees of Visitors who serve to evaluate the foundation, working with the NSF’s Office of the Inspector General, and supporting the agency’s policymaking and internal evaluation and assessment needs. Information collected in this survey will include the name of the participants, their affiliated organizations, email addresses, and home states. These personal identifiable information (PII) are collected primarily for record tracking and organizing. In addition, questions pertaining to participants’ gender, race, ethnicity, disability status, and veteran status will also be asked but those questions will be marked as voluntary. These PII data will be accessed only by the managing Program Directors, NSF senior management, and supporting staff conducting analyses using the data as authorized by NSF. Any public reporting of data will be in aggregate form, and any personal identifiers will be removed. Use of the Information: The information collected is primarily for program assessment and agency internal evaluation. Estimate burden on the public: Estimated 20 minutes per survey for 350 participants (per year) for a total of 7,000 hours per year. Respondents: Graduate students who participate in the INTERN program Estimated number of respondents: 350 per year. Average Time per Reporting: 20 minutes. Frequency: Each participant will only be asked to submit the survey once. Comments: Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the PO 00000 Frm 00102 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 73451 information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, 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 respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Please submit one copy of your comments by only one method. All submissions received must include the agency name and collection name identified above for this information collection. Commenters are strongly encouraged to transmit their comments electronically via email. Comments, including any personal information provided become a matter of public record. They will be summarized and/ or included in the request for Office of Management and Budget approval of the information collection request. Dated: September 5, 2024. Suzanne H.

Dominion is the operator of the facility. Subsequent Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. NPF–4 and NPF–7 authorize operation of North Anna Power Station, Units 1 and 2, respectively, by Dominion at reactor core power levels not in excess of 2,940 megawatts thermal for each unit, in accordance with the provisions of the North Anna Power Station, Units 1 and 2, subsequent renewed licenses and VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:45 Sep 09, 2024 Jkt 262001 technical specifications.

The final EIS conclusion is based on (1) information provided in the environmental report submitted by Dominion, as supplemented, (2) the NRC staff’s consultations with Federal, State, local, and Tribal agencies, (3) the NRC staff’s independent environmental review, and (4) the NRC staff’s consideration of public comments.

licensee), for North Anna Power Station, Units 1 and 2, (ADAMS 
Accession Nos. ML24215A263 and ML24215A264), respectively. Dominion is 
the operator of the facility. Subsequent Renewed Facility Operating 
License Nos. NPF-4 and NPF-7 authorize operation of North Anna Power 
Station, Units 1 and 2, respectively, by Dominion at reactor core power 
levels not in excess of 2,940 megawatts thermal for each unit, in 
accordance with the provisions of the North Anna Power Station, Units 1

is also given that the ROD that supports the NRC's decision to issue 
Subsequent Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-4 and NPF-7 is 
available in ADAMS under Package Accession No. ML24215A220.

impact statement (EIS), published as NUREG-1437, Supplement 7a, Second 
Renewal, ``Site-Specific Environmental Impact Statement for License 
Renewal of Nuclear Plants, Supplement 7a, Second Renewal, Regarding 
Subsequent License Renewal for North Anna Power Station, Units 1 and 2, 
Final Report,'' dated July 2024 (ADAMS Accession No. ML24204A104), the 
final EIS documents the NRC staff's environmental review, including the 
determination that the adverse environmental impacts of subsequent 
license renewal for North Anna Power Station, Units 1 and 2, are not so 
great that preserving the option of subsequent license renewal for 
energy planning decisionmakers would be unreasonable. The final EIS 
conclusion is based on (1) information provided in the environmental 
report submitted by Dominion, as supplemented, (2) the NRC staff's 
consultations with Federal, State, local, and Tribal agencies, (3) the 
NRC staff's independent environmental review, and (4) the NRC staff's
