SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title of Collection: Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) Program Evaluation. OMB Control No.: 3145–New. Expiration Date of Approval: Not applicable. Abstract: This proposed data collection is a core component of a larger comprehensive evaluation strategy to assess the effectiveness and impact of the Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program, funded through grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF). The LSAMP program invests in the Nation’s colleges and universities to aid student success to create a new generation of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) discovers for the national STEM enterprise. The program is an alliancebased program, whereby a group of institutions of higher education (IHEs) and other non-academic organizations join to increase the number of STEM baccalaureate and graduate degrees awarded to persons from racial/ethnic populations underrepresented in STEM disciplines. The current evaluation examines the experiences of alliance personnel and student participants at lead and partner institutions since the last full evaluation (which concluded in 2005) at ten alliances. The ten alliances were selected by the NSF in collaboration with NORC at the University of Chicago, the evaluation partner who will conduct all data collection. A key component of the site selection process has been to assure variability in representation, to include diverse two and four-year institutions, taking into consideration institution type, student populations, geography. This work will enable the program to better understand where successes can be modeled and opportunities can be identified to better support the underrepresented students in these VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:16 Oct 01, 2024 Jkt 262001 fields, by encouraging greater inclusion in academic and professional development opportunities. For this data collection, NSF is seeking approval to conduct interviews and focus groups with individuals who are affiliated with the LSAMP alliances at the preidentified sites using the procedures discussed below. Respondents: LSAMP Administrators, Faculty and Staff (200); LSAMP Students (120). Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 320. Burden on the Public: Estimated 1–3 hours to participate in an interview or focus group (1 hour for staff and students, 3 hours for coordinators/ provosts or other leaders). The estimated burden time is 750 hours. Dated: September 26, 2024. Suzanne H. Plimpton, Reports Clearance Officer, National Science Foundation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NUREG–1022, Revision 3, ‘‘Event Reporting Guidelines: 10 CFR 50.72 and 50.73,’’ issued January 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13032A220), contains guidelines that the staff of the NRC considers acceptable for use in meeting the reporting requirements in section 50.72 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ‘‘Immediate notification requirements for operating nuclear power reactors,’’ and 10 CFR 50.73, ‘‘Licensee event report system.’’ In August 2018, the Nuclear Energy Institute submitted a petition for rulemaking to amend 10 CFR 50.72 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18247A204). In 2021, the Commission directed the NRC staff to pursue the rulemaking (ADAMS Accession No. ML21209A953). As part of this rulemaking effort, the NRC determined that clarifications to the guidance in section 3.2.4, ‘‘Degraded or Unanalyzed Condition,’’ of NUREG 1022, Revision 3, could address part of the concerns identified in the petition.

Foundation (NSF). The LSAMP program invests in the Nation's colleges 
and universities to aid student success to create a new generation of

whereby a group of institutions of higher education (IHEs) and other 
non-academic organizations join to increase the number of STEM 
baccalaureate and graduate degrees awarded to persons from racial/
ethnic populations underrepresented in STEM disciplines.
    The current evaluation examines the experiences of alliance 
personnel and student participants at lead and partner institutions
