SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Institute of Museum and Library 

Services is an independent Federal 

grant-making agency authorized by the 

Museum and Library Services Act, 20 

U.S.C. Section 9101 et seq. The IMLS 

provides a variety of grant programs to 

assist the nation’s museums and 

libraries in improving their operations 

and enhancing their services to the 

public. Museums and libraries of all 

sizes and types may receive support 

from IMLS programs. The Museum and 

Library Services Act of 2003 includes a 

strong emphasis on supporting library 

services through the development of a 

strong library workforce by supporting 

activities that educate, recruit and train 

persons in library and information 

science, particularly in areas of new 

technology and other critical needs, 

including graduate fellowships, 

traineeships, institutes, or other 

programs. This solicitation is to develop 

plans to collect information to assist 

IMLS understand library and 

information science (LIS) workforce 

needs, including supply and demand, 

factors that affect them, existing 

workforce projections. 

II. Current Action 

The core duties of the Institute of 

Museum and Library Services, as stated 

in its strategic plan, are to promote 

excellence in library services and to 

promote access to museum and library 

services for a diverse public. This goal 

will be accomplished in part by 

promoting improved workforce 

planning including strategies for 

recruitment and retention of workers. 

IMLS is seeking assistance in 

developing specific plans to collect 

information from libraries and other 

information industry employers of 

librarians, librarians and other 

information professionals, and graduate 

schools of library and information 

science. Information to be collected 

from libraries and other employers of 

LIS professionals includes current and 

projected employment in terms of 

numbers of positions (filled and vacant), 

functional specialization, educational 

requirements, skill/competency 

requirements, salaries and benefits, 

demographics, annual budget/

expenditures, constituency or market 

size. Information to be collected from 

LIS professionals includes current 

employment, career path and career 

progression, professional association/

union membership and demographics. 

Information to be collected from the 

graduate LIS schools includes current 

and projected program offerings, 

recruitment, enrollment, graduation, 

placement, alumni tracking. These 

information collections will be based on 

geographic location (State and locality), 

type of employing organization and 

functionality of the work. A great deal 

of information has been collected on the 

LIS workforce, e.g., by BLS, NCES and 

professional societies. The information 

IMLS collects should build on, but not 

duplicate, existing or ongoing 

collections.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC 

or the Commission) has issued Materials 

License No. SNM–2512 to the Foster 

Wheeler Environmental Corporation 

(FWENC) for the receipt, possession, 

storage, and transfer of spent fuel at the 

Idaho Spent Fuel (ISF) Facility, an 

independent spent fuel storage 

installation (ISFSI) to be located at the 

Idaho National Engineering and 

Environmental Laboratory (INEEL), 

located in Butte County, Idaho. This 

Materials License is issued under the 

provisions of Title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations, Part 72 (10 CFR 

Part 72), and is effective as of the date 

of issuance. A license for an ISFSI under 

10 CFR Part 72 is issued for 20 years, 

but the licensee may seek to renew the 

license prior to its expiration. 

The ISF Facility is licensed to provide 

interim dry storage for approximately 22 

metric tons of heavy metal contained in 

unique fuel elements and associated 

radioactive materials resulting from the 

71082 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 235 / Wednesday, December 8, 2004 / Notices

resumption of ADAMS access.

operation of the Peach Bottom Unit 1 

high-temperature gas reactor, the 

Shippingport light water breeder 

reactor, and various Training, Research, 

and Isotope reactors built by General 

Atomics (TRIGA reactors). The ISF 

Facility is designed for the repackaging 

of specific quantities of this spent 

nuclear fuel, currently stored by the 

U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) at the 

INEEL, into new storage canisters, 

followed by its placement into an 

interim dry storage vault, in preparation 

for eventual shipment to a high-level 

waste geologic repository. The ISF 

Facility represents one element of a 

Settlement Agreement, dated October 

17, 1995, among the DOE, the U.S. 

Navy, and the State of Idaho, regarding 

waste removal and environmental 

cleanup at the INEEL. 

Following receipt of FWENC’s 

application dated November 19, 2001, 

the NRC staff published a ‘‘Notice of 

Docketing, Notice of Consideration of 

Issuance, and Notice of Opportunity for 

a Hearing for a Materials License for the 

Idaho Spent Fuel Facility’’ in the 

Federal Register on June 27, 2002 (67 

FR 43358). In conjunction with the 

issuance of this license, the staff 

published a final environmental impact 

statement (FEIS), ‘‘Environmental 

Impact Statement for the Proposed 

Idaho Spent Fuel Facility at the Idaho 

National Engineering and 

Environmental Laboratory in Butte 

County, Idaho,’’ (NUREG–1773, Final 

Report, January 2004). A Notice of 

Availability of the FEIS was published 

in the Federal Register on February 27, 

2004 (69 FR 9387). The staff has 

determined that no significant 

environmental impacts will be 

generated as a result of construction and 

operation of the proposed ISF Facility. 

The NRC staff has completed its 

environmental safeguards, and safety 

reviews of the Idaho Spent Fuel Facility 

license application and safety analysis 

report, as amended. The NRC staff 

issued Materials License No. SNM–2512 

and its Safety Evaluation Report (SER) 

for the Idaho Spent Fuel Facility on 

November 30, 2004. 

Further details with respect to this 

action are provided in the application 

dated November 19, 2001, as amended 

November 8, 2002, and March 28 and 

November 14, 2003; the staff’s FEIS 

dated January 2004; Materials License 

SNM–2512 and the staff’s SER, dated 

November 30, 2004; and other related 

documents, which are normally 

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. However, as of 

October 25, 2004, the NRC initiated an 

additional security review of publicly 

available documents to ensure that 

potentially sensitive information is 

removed from the ADAMS database 

accessible through the NRC’s Web site. 

Interested members of the public should 

check the NRC’s web pages for updates 

on the availability of documents 

through the ADAMS system. When 

public availability is restored, these 

documents may be accessed through the 

NRC’s Public Electronic Reading Room 

on the Internet at: http://www.nrc.gov/

reading-rm/adams.html. After 

resumption of public access to ADAMS, 

copies of the referenced documents will 

also be available for review at the NRC 

Public Document Room (PDR), located 

at 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD, 

20852. PDR reference staff can be 

contacted at 1–800–397–4209, (301)
