used by managers to maintain an 

automated database of reviewers for the 

many disciplines represented by the 

proposals submitted to the Foundation. 

Information collected on gender, race, 

and ethnicity is used in meeting NSF 

needs for data to permit response to 

Congressional and other queries into 

equity issues. These data also are used 

in the design, implementation, and 

monitoring of NSF efforts to increase the 

participation of various groups in 

science, engineering, and education. 

Confidentiality 

When a decision has been made 

(whether an award or a declination), 

verbatim copies of reviews, excluding 

the names of the reviewers, and 

summaries of review panel 

deliberations, if any, are provided to the 

PI. A proposer also may request and 

obtain any other releasable material in 

NSF’s file on their proposal. Everything 

in the file except information that 

directly identifies either reviewers or 

other pending or declined proposals is 

usually releasable to the proposer. 

While listings of panelists’ names are 

released, the names of individual 

reviewers, associated with individual 

proposals, are not released to anyone. 

Because the Foundation is committed 

to monitoring and identifying any real 

or apparent inequities based on gender, 

race, ethnicity, or disability of the 

proposed principal investigator(s)/

project director(s) or the co-principal 

investigator(s)/co-project director(s), the 

Foundation also collects information 

regarding race, ethnicity, disability, and 

gender. This information also is 

protected by the Privacy Act. 

Burden on the Public 

The Foundation estimates that 

anywhere from one hour to twenty 

hours may be required to review a 

proposal. It is estimated that 

approximately five hours are required to 

review an average proposal. Each 

proposal receives an average of 6.3 

reviews, with a minimum requirement 

of three reviews. The estimated burden 

for the Reviewer Background 

Information (NSF 428A) is estimated at 

5 minutes per respondent with up to 

10,000 potential new reviewers for a 

total of 83 hours. The aggregate 

estimated total is 600,083 for the 

reviewer process and the reviewer 

background information.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 72–11] 

Sacramento Municipal Utility District, 

Rancho Seco Independent Spent Fuel 

Storage Installation; Notice of 

Docketing of Materials License SNM–

2510; Application for an Exemption 

and for a Conforming Amendment 

By letter dated July 19, 2004, 

Sacramento Municipal Utility District 

(SMUD or the licensee) submitted an 

application to the Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC or the Commission) 

requesting an exemption from the 

requirements of Title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 72.44(d)(3) 

pursuant to 10 CFR 72.7 and also 

requesting a conforming amendment to 

the Rancho Seco Independent Spent 

Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) 

technical specifications pursuant to 10 

CFR 72.56. 

The licensee is requesting 

Commission approval to be relieved 

from submitting an annual report to the 

Commission specifying the quantity of 

principal radionuclides released to the 

environment in liquid and gaseous 

effluent during the previous 12 months 

of the Rancho Seco ISFSI operation. The 

licensee is currently storing spent fuel at 

the Rancho Seco ISFSI on the site of the 

Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station 

located in Sacramento County, 

California under license SNM–2510. If 

the exemption is granted, then as further 

requested by the licensee, upon 

approval of the Commission, the Rancho 

Seco ISFSI license, SNM–2510, would 

be amended to remove this requirement 

from the technical specifications. 

This application was docketed under 

10 CFR part 72; the ISFSI Docket No. is 

72–11 and will remain the same for this 

action. 

In accordance with the requirement of 

10 CFR 51.21, NRC will perform an 

environmental assessment of the 

potential environmental impacts of this 

exemption request. The exemption (in 

conjunction with the conforming license 

amendment) is subject to the 

Commission’s approval. 

If the Commission grants the 

requested exemption, the Commission 

may issue either a notice of hearing or 

a notice of proposed action and 

opportunity for hearing in accordance 

with 10 CFR 72.46(b)(1) regarding the 

proposed amendment or, if a 

determination is made that the proposed 

amendment does not present a genuine 

issue as to whether public health and 

safety will be significantly affected, take 

immediate action on the proposed 

amendment in accordance with 10 CFR 

72.46(b)(2) and provide notice of the 

action taken and an opportunity for 

interested persons to request a hearing 

on whether the action (conforming 

amendment) should be rescinded or 

modified. 

For further details with respect to this 

amendment, see the application dated 

July 19, 2004, which is publicly 

available in the records component of 

NRC’s Agencywide Documents Access 

and Management System (ADAMS). The 

NRC maintains ADAMS, which 

provides text and image files of NRC’s 

public documents. These documents 

may be accessed through the NRC’s 

Public Electronic Reading Room on the

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 15th day 

of October 2004.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
