Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 21 / Wednesday, February 3, 2021 / Notices 8047 

1Source: https://www.bls.gov/ooh/educationtraining-and-library/postsecondary-teachers.htm. 

Expected respondents: All applicants 

who have submitted proposals and 

reviewers who have reviewed NSF 

proposals between FY 2018 and 2020 

will be invited to participate in the 2021 

survey and comparable individuals who 

participated between FY 2020 and FY 

2022 will be invited to participate in the 

2023 survey. This is estimated to be 

approximately 87,000 individuals per 

survey round. 

Average time per reporting: The 

online survey is comprised primarily of 

close-ended questions and is designed 

to be completed by respondents in 

approximately 20 minutes. 

Frequency: Eligible applicants and 

reviewers will be asked to the complete 

the 2021 Merit Review survey one time 

in fall 2021. For the 2023 survey, 

eligible applicants and reviewers will be 

asked to complete the survey one time 

in fall 2023. 

Estimate of burden: It is estimated the 

survey will require approximately 20 

minutes (on average) to complete. The 

anticipated universe size for each 

survey cycle is 87,000 individuals, 

which includes all applicants who 

submitted proposals and all reviewers 

between FY 2018 and FY 2020 (for the 

2021 survey) and between FY 2020 and 

FY 2022 (for the 2023 survey). The 

estimated survey response rate for each 

the 2021 and 2023 survey rounds is 40 

percent. Therefore, the total burden is 

23,200 hours; this is a respondent 

burden of 11,600 hours per survey year 

(2021 and 2023). 

Based on 2019 merit review survey 

data, it is anticipated that most survey 

respondents will be working at an 

academic institution, likely in a 

teaching and/or research capacity. 

Therefore, for the purpose of burden 

estimates, we have used the annual 

mean wage for postsecondary teachers 

from Bureau of Labor Statistics, which 

is $79,540.1 Assuming a 40-hour 

workweek over the course of 52 weeks 

annually, the hourly wage for this 

occupation is approximately $38.00. 

Therefore, the overall cost to survey 

respondents for each survey year (2021 

and 2023) would be approximately 

$440,800 (11,600 burden hours × $38.00 

per hour), as shown in table A.12.1 

below.

II. Discussion 

On September 18, 2020, NRC received 

an application from DOE/NNSA 

requesting a specific license 

(XSNM3819) to export high enriched 

uranium in the form of broken metals to 

France for ultimate use as reactor fuel 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML20262H100). 

In accordance with paragraph 

110.70(b) of title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR) the NRC is 

providing notice of the receipt of the 

application submitted; providing the 

opportunity to submit written 

comments concerning the application; 

and providing the opportunity to 

request a hearing or petition for leave to 

intervene, for a period of 30 days after 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. In accordance with 10 CFR 

110.89(b), a hearing request or petition 

for leave to intervene shall be served by 

the requestor or petitioner upon the 

applicant, the Office of the General 

Counsel, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission, Washington, DC 20555; 

the Secretary, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission, Washington, DC 20555; 

and the Executive Secretary, U.S. 

Department of State, Washington, DC 

20520. Hearing requests and 

intervention petitions must include the 

information specified in 10 CFR 

110.82(b). 

A request for hearing or petition for

for hearing or petition for leave to 

intervent may be filed with the 

Commission by delivery or by mail to 

the Secretary, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission, Washington, DC 20555, or 

by electronic means in accordance with 

the NRC’s E-Filing rule (72 FR 49139; 

August 28, 2007, as amended at 77 FR 

46562; August 3, 2012). Detailed 

guidance on making electronic

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Discussion 

Pursuant to section 50.75 of title 10 of 

the Code of Federal Regulations (10 

CFR), ‘‘Reporting and Recordkeeping for 

Decommissioning Planning,’’ the NRC 

requires nuclear power reactor licensees 

to adjust annually, in current year 

dollars, their estimate of the cost to 

decommission their plants. The annual 

updates are part of the process for 

providing reasonable assurance that 

adequate funds for decommissioning 

will be available when needed. 

Revision 18 of NUREG–1307, ‘‘Report 

on Waste Burial Charges: Changes in 

Decommissioning Waste Disposal Costs 

at Low-Level Waste Burial Facilities,’’ 

modifies the previous revision to this 

report issued in February 2019 (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML19037A405) and 

incorporates updates to the adjustment 

factor and to the labor, energy, and 

waste burial escalation factors of the 

NRC minimum decommissioning fund 

formula. Due to modest pricing changes 

in low-level waste burial charges at the 

nation’s four low-level waste disposal 

facilities, the minimum 

decommissioning fund formula amounts 

calculated by licensees, based on 

revised low-level waste burial factors 

presented in this report, will likely 

reflect minimum decommissioning fund 

requirements (on average) that are 

similar to or slightly lower than those 

reported by licensees in 2019. 

II. Additional Information 

The NRC published a notice in the 

Federal Register on November 17, 2020 

(85 FR 73299) requesting public 

comment on draft NUREG–1307, 

Revision 18. The public comment 

period closed on December 17, 2020. 

The NRC received four public 

comments. The public comments and 

the NRC staff’s responses are presented 

in a comment resolution matrix 

available in ADAMS under Accession 

No. ML21008A253. The staff considered 

the public comments received on the 

draft document in preparing final 

NUREG–1307, Revision 18.
