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 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Discussion 

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. 

In developing draft Supplement 2 to 

NUREG 1022, Revision 3, the NRC 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 191 / Wednesday, October 2, 2024 / Notices 80269 

evaluated data on submitted and 

retracted events and held a public 

meeting on August 9, 2023 (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML23270B927), to 

discuss section 3.2.4 of NUREG 1022 

with stakeholders. 

The NRC published a notice in the 

Federal Register on April 17, 2024 (89 

FR 27463) requesting public comment 

on draft Supplement 2 to NUREG 1022, 

Revision 3 (ADAMS Package Accession 

No. ML24036A109). The public 

comment period closed on June 17, 

2024. The NRC received two public 

comments. The public comments and 

the NRC staff’s responses are presented 

in a comment resolution memo 

available in ADAMS under Accession 

No. ML24197A131. 

NUREG–1022, Revision 3, 

Supplement 2 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML24191A376), provides updated 

guidance for nuclear power reactor 

licensees and can be used for evaluating 

and reporting degraded or unanalyzed 

conditions as described in 10 CFR 

50.72(b)(3)(ii) and 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(ii). 

The specific guidance included in 

Supplement 2 supersedes the guidance 

found in section 3.2.4 of NUREG–1022, 

Revision 3. 

II. Backfitting, Forward Fitting, and 

Issue Finality 

Issuance of NUREG–1022, Revision 3, 

Supplement 2, does not constitute 

backfitting as defined in 10 CFR 50.109, 

‘‘Backfitting,’’ and as described in NRC 

Management Directive (MD) 8.4, 

‘‘Management of Backfitting, Forward 

Fitting, Issue Finality, and Information 

Requests’’; affect issue finality of any 

approval issued under 10 CFR part 52, 

‘‘Licenses, Certificates, and Approvals 

for Nuclear Power Plants’’; or constitute 

forward fitting as defined in MD 8.4, 

because licensees are not required to 

comply with the guidance in 

Supplement 2. 

III. Congressional Review Act 

NUREG–1022, Revision 3, 

Supplement 2, is a rule as defined in the 

Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 

801–808). However, the Office of 

Management and Budget has not found 

it to be a major rule as defined in the 

Congressional Review Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

By letter dated November 16, 2020 

(ADAMS Package Accession No. 

ML20329A292), NextEra submitted to 

the NRC an application for the SLR of 

Renewed Facility Operating License 

Nos. DPR–24 and DPR–27 for Point 

Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, 

respectively, for an additional 20 years 

of operation. This submission initiated 

the NRC’s proposed action of 

determining whether to issue the 

subsequent renewed facility operating 

licenses. Point Beach is located in 

northeastern Manitowoc County, 

Wisconsin, approximately 29 miles 

southeast of Green Bay, Wisconsin. 

The current facility operating license 

for Point Beach, Unit 1, expires at 

midnight on October 5, 2030, and the 

current facility operating license for 

Point Beach, Unit 2 expires at midnight 

on March 8, 2033. 

The SLR application was submitted 

pursuant to part 54 of title 10 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), 

‘‘Requirements for Renewal of Operating 

Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants,’’ and 

included an environmental report. The 

applicant seeks to extend the facility 

operating license for Unit 1 to midnight 

on October 5, 2050, and for Unit 2 to 

midnight on March 8, 2053. A notice of 

acceptance for docketing of the 

application and of an opportunity to 

request a hearing was published in the 

Federal Register on January 22, 2021 

(86 FR 6684). Thereafter, a notice of 

intent to prepare an environmental 

impact statement and conduct a scoping 

process was published in the Federal 

Register on February 1, 2021 (86 FR 

7747) and is available on the Federal 

rulemaking website (https://

www.regulations.gov) by searching for 

Docket ID NRC–2020–0277. 

On November 9, 2021, a notice was 

published in the Federal Register (86 

FR 62220), stating that the NRC staff had 

issued its draft SEIS, documenting its 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
