coverage of the college graduate 

population residing in the United 

States. The purpose of this longitudinal 

panel survey is to collect data that will 

be used to provide national estimates on 

the science and engineering workforce 

and changes in their employment, 

education and demographic 

characteristics. 

The National Science Foundation Act 

of 1950, as subsequently amended, 

includes a statutory charge to ‘‘. . . 

provide a central clearinghouse for the 

collection, interpretation, and analysis 

of data on scientific and engineering 

resources, and to provide a source of 

information for policy formulation by 

other agencies of the Federal 

Government.’’ The NSCG is designed to 

comply with these mandates by 

providing information on the supply 

and utilization of the nation’s scientists 

and engineers. 

The NSF uses the information from 

the NSCG to prepare congressionally 

mandated reports such as Women, 

Minorities and Persons with Disabilities 

in Science and Engineering and Science 

and Engineering Indicators. A public 

release file of collected data, designed to 

protect respondent confidentiality, will 

be made available to researchers on the 

Internet. 

The U.S. Census Bureau, as in the 

past, will conduct the NSCG for NSF. 

The survey data collection will begin in 

April 2015 using Web and mail 

questionnaires. Nonrespondents to the 

Web or mail questionnaire will be 

followed up by computer-assisted 

telephone interviewing. The survey will 

be collected in conformance with the 

Confidential Information Protection and 

Statistical Efficiency Act of 2002, and 

the individual’s response to the survey 

is voluntary. NSF will ensure that all 

information collected will be kept 

strictly confidential and will be used 

only for statistical purposes. 

2. Expected Respondents. A statistical 

sample of approximately 135,000 

persons will be contacted in 2015 

including 42,000 new sample cases and 

93,000 returning sample cases. NSF 

estimates the response rate to be 70 

percent for the new sample cases and 80 

percent for the returning sample cases. 

3. Estimate of Burden. The amount of 

time to complete the questionnaire may 

vary depending on an individual’s 

circumstances; however, on average it 

will take approximately 30 minutes. 

NSF estimates that the total burden for 

the 2015 NSCG will be no more than 

51,900 hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The NRC has received, by letter dated 

January 22, 2015, an application from 

Umetco Minerals Corporation to amend 

Materials License No. SUA–648 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML15027A095). 

This license authorizes the possession 

of natural uranium and uranium waste 

tailings at the Gas Hills East site in 

Natrona and Fremont counties, 

Wyoming, which ceased uranium 

milling operations in 1984. The license 

currently requires that Umetco Minerals 

Corporation implement a ground water 

compliance monitoring program at the 

site. If approved, the amendment would 

modify this ground water monitoring 

program by increasing the number of 

wells in the ground water monitoring 

program, changing the sampling period 

and parameters, changing the reporting 

period for ground water monitoring 

reports, and establishing the ground 

water monitoring program as a standalone document, rather than an 

appendix in Umetco’s Alternate 

Concentration Limit application. 

Prior to approving the license 

amendment application, the NRC will 

need to make the findings required by 

the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as 

amended (the Act), and the NRC’s 

regulations. The NRC’s findings will be 

documented in a technical evaluation 

report. 

II. Opportunity to Request a Hearing 

and Petition for Leave to Intervene 

Within 60 days after the date of 

publication of this notice, any person(s) 

whose interest may be affected by this 

action may file a request for a hearing 

and a petition to intervene with respect 

to issuance of the amendment to 

Materials License No. SUA–648.

15258 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 55 / Monday, March 23, 2015 / Notices 

Requests for a hearing and a petition for 

leave to intervene shall be filed in 

accordance with the Commission’s 

‘‘Agency Rules of Practice and 

Procedure’’ in 10 CFR part 2. Interested 

person(s) should consult a current copy 

of 10 CFR 2.309, which is available at 

the NRC’s PDR, located in One White 

Flint North, Room O1–F21 (first floor), 

11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, 

Maryland 20852. The NRC’s regulations 

are accessible electronically from the 

NRC Library on the NRC’s Web site at 

http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doccollections/cfr/. If a request for a hearing 

or petition for leave to intervene is filed 

within 60 days, the Commission or a 

presiding officer designated by the 

Commission or by the Chief 

Administrative Judge of the Atomic 

Safety and Licensing Board Panel will 

rule on the request and/or petition. The 

Secretary or the Chief Administrative 

Judge of the Atomic Safety and 

Licensing Board will issue a notice of 

hearing or an appropriate order. 

As required by 10 CFR 2.309, a 

petition for leave to intervene shall set 

forth, with particularity, the interest of 

the petitioner in the proceeding and 

how that interest may be affected by the 

results of the proceeding. The petition 

should specifically explain the reasons 

why intervention should be permitted, 

with particular reference to the 

following general requirements: (1) The 

name, address, and telephone number of 

the requestor or petitioner; (2) the 

nature of the requestor’s/petitioner’s 

right under the Act to be made a party 

to the proceeding; (3) the nature and 

extent of the requestor’s/petitioner’s 

property, financial, or other interest in 

the proceeding; and (4) the possible 

effect of any decision or order which 

may be entered in the proceeding on the 

requestor’s/petitioner’s interest. The 

petition must also set forth the specific 

contentions which the requestor/ 

petitioner seeks to have litigated at the 

proceeding. 

Each contention must consist of a 

specific statement of the issue of law or 

fact to be raised or controverted. In 

addition, the requestor/petitioner shall 

provide a brief explanation of the bases 

for the contention and a concise 

statement of the alleged facts or expert 

opinion that support the contention and 

on which the requestor/petitioner 

intends to rely in proving the contention 

at the hearing. The requestor/petitioner 

must also provide references to those 

specific sources and documents of 

which the petitioner is aware and on 

which the requestor/petitioner intends 

to rely to establish those facts or expert 

opinion. The petition must include 

sufficient information to show that a 

genuine dispute exists with the 

applicant on a material issue of law or 

fact. Contentions shall be limited to 

matters within the scope of the 

amendment under consideration. The 

contention must be one which, if 

proven, would entitle the requestor/ 

petitioner to relief. A requestor/ 

petitioner who fails to satisfy these 

requirements with respect to at least one 

contention will not be permitted to 

participate as a party. 

Those permitted to intervene become 

parties to the proceeding, subject to any 

limitations in the order granting leave to 

intervene, and have the opportunity to 

participate fully in the conduct of the 

hearing with respect to resolution of 

that person’s admitted contentions, 

including the opportunity to present 

evidence and to submit a crossexamination plan for cross-examination 

of witnesses, consistent with NRC 

regulations, policies, and procedures. 

The Atomic Safety and Licensing Board 

will set the time and place for any 

prehearing conferences and evidentiary 

hearings, and the appropriate notices 

will be provided. 

Petitions for leave to intervene must 

be filed no later than 60 days from the 

date of publication of this notice. 

Requests for hearing, petitions for leave 

to intervene, and motions for leave to 

file new or amended contentions that 

are filed after the 60-day deadline will 

not be entertained absent a 

determination by the presiding officer 

that the filing demonstrates good cause 

by satisfying the three factors in 10 CFR 

2.309(c)(1)(i)–(iii). 

A State, local governmental body, 

Federally-recognized Indian tribe, or 

agency thereof, may submit a petition to 

the Commission to participate as a party 

under 10 CFR 2.309(h)(1). The petition 

should state the nature and extent of the 

petitioner’s interest in the proceeding. 

The petition should be submitted to the 

Commission by May 22, 2015. The 

petition must be filed in accordance 

with the filing instructions in the 

‘‘Electronic Submissions (E-Filing)’’ 

section of this document, and should 

meet the requirements for petitions for 

leave to intervene set forth in this 

section. A State, local governmental 

body, Federally-recognized Indian tribe, 

or agency thereof may also have the 

opportunity to participate under 10 CFR 

2.315(c). 

If a hearing is granted, any person 

who does not wish, or is not qualified, 

to become a party to the proceeding 

may, in the discretion of the presiding 

officer, be permitted to make a limited 

appearance pursuant to the provisions 

of 10 CFR 2.315(a). A person making a 

limited appearance may make an oral or 

written statement of position on the 

issues, but may not otherwise 

participate in the proceeding. A limited 

appearance may be made at any session 

of the hearing or at any prehearing 

conference, subject to the limits and 

conditions as may be imposed by the 

presiding officer. Persons desiring to 

make a limited appearance are 

requested to inform the Secretary of the 

Commission by May 22, 2015. 

III. Electronic Submissions (E-Filing) 

All documents filed in NRC 

adjudicatory proceedings, including a 

request for hearing, a petition for leave 

to intervene, any motion or other 

document filed in the proceeding prior 

to the submission of a request for 

hearing or petition to intervene, and 

documents filed by interested 

governmental entities participating 

under 10 CFR 2.315(c), must be filed in 

accordance with the NRC’s E-Filing rule 

(72 FR 49139; August 28, 2007). The EFiling process requires participants to 

submit and serve all adjudicatory 

documents over the Internet, or in some 

cases to mail copies on electronic 

storage media. Participants may not 

submit paper copies of their filings 

unless they seek an exemption in 

accordance with the procedures 

described below. 

To comply with the procedural 

requirements of E-Filing, at least ten 10 

days prior to the filing deadline, the 

participant should contact the Office of 

the Secretary by email at 

hearing.docket@nrc.gov, or by telephone 

at 301–415–1677, to request (1) a digital 

identification (ID) certificate, which 

allows the participant (or its counsel or 

representative) to digitally sign 

documents and access the E-Submittal 

server for any proceeding in which it is 

participating; and (2) advise the 

Secretary that the participant will be 

submitting a request or petition for 

hearing (even in instances in which the 

participant, or its counsel or 

representative, already holds an NRCissued digital ID certificate). Based upon 

this information, the Secretary will 

establish an electronic docket for the 

hearing in this proceeding if the 

Secretary has not already established an 

electronic docket. 

Information about applying for a 

digital ID certificate is available on the 

NRC’s public Web site at http://

www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/

getting-started.html. System 

requirements for accessing the ESubmittal server are detailed in the 

NRC’s ‘‘Guidance for Electronic 

Submission,’’ which is available on the 

agency’s public Web site at http://

www.nrc.gov/site-help/emstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 55 / Monday, March 23, 2015 / Notices 15259 

submittals.html. Participants may 

attempt to use other software not listed 

on the Web site, but should note that the 

NRC’s E-Filing system does not support 

unlisted software, and the NRC Meta 

System Help Desk will not be able to 

offer assistance in using unlisted 

software. 

If a participant is electronically 

submitting a document to the NRC in 

accordance with the E-Filing rule, the 

participant must file the document 

using the NRC’s online, Web-based 

submission form. In order to serve 

documents through the Electronic 

Information Exchange System, users 

will be required to install a Web 

browser plug-in from the NRC’s Web 

site. Further information on the Webbased submission form, including the 

installation of the Web browser plug-in, 

is available on the NRC’s public Web 

site at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html. 

Once a participant has obtained a 

digital ID certificate and a docket has 

been created, the participant can then 

submit a request for hearing or petition 

for leave to intervene. Submissions 

should be in Portable Document Format 

(PDF) in accordance with NRC guidance 

available on the NRC’s public Web site 

at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html. A filing is considered 

complete at the time the documents are 

submitted through the NRC’s E-Filing 

system. To be timely, an electronic 

filing must be submitted to the E-Filing 

system no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern 

Time on the due date. Upon receipt of 

a transmission, the E-Filing system 

time-stamps the document and sends 

the submitter an email notice 

confirming receipt of the document. The 

E-Filing system also distributes an email 

notice that provides access to the 

document to the NRC’s Office of the 

General Counsel and any others who 

have advised the Office of the Secretary 

that they wish to participate in the 

proceeding, so that the filer need not 

serve the documents on those 

participants separately. Therefore, 

applicants and other participants (or 

their counsel or representative) must 

apply for and receive a digital ID 

certificate before a hearing request/

petition to intervene is filed so that they 

can obtain access to the document via 

the E-Filing system. 

A person filing electronically using 

the NRC’s adjudicatory E-Filing system 

may seek assistance by contacting the 

NRC Meta System Help Desk through 

the ‘‘Contact Us’’ link located on the 

NRC’s public Web site at http://

www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html, by email to 

MSHD.Resource@nrc.gov, or by a tollfree call at 1–866–672–7640. The NRC 

Meta System Help Desk is available 

between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Eastern 

Time, Monday through Friday, 

excluding government holidays. 

Participants who believe that they 

have a good cause for not submitting 

documents electronically must file an 

exemption request, in accordance with 

10 CFR 2.302(g), with their initial paper 

filing requesting authorization to 

continue to submit documents in paper 

format. Such filings must be submitted 

by: (1) First class mail addressed to the 

Office of the Secretary of the 

Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission, Washington, DC 20555– 

0001, Attention: Rulemaking and 

Adjudications Staff; or (2) courier, 

express mail, or expedited delivery 

service to the Office of the Secretary, 

Sixteenth Floor, One White Flint North, 

11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, 

Maryland 20852, Attention: Rulemaking 

and Adjudications Staff. Participants 

filing a document in this manner are 

responsible for serving the document on 

all other participants. Filing is 

considered complete by first-class mail 

as of the time of deposit in the mail, or 

by courier, express mail, or expedited 

delivery service upon depositing the 

document with the provider of the 

service. A presiding officer, having 

granted an exemption request from 

using E-Filing, may require a participant 

or party to use E-Filing if the presiding 

officer subsequently determines that the 

reason for granting the exemption from 

use of E-Filing no longer exists. 

Documents submitted in adjudicatory 

proceedings will appear in the NRC’s 

electronic hearing docket which is 

available to the public at http://

ehd1.nrc.gov/ehd/, unless excluded 

pursuant to an order of the Commission, 

or the presiding officer. Participants are 

requested not to include personal 

privacy information, such as social 

security numbers, home addresses, or 

home phone numbers in their filings, 

unless an NRC regulation or other law 

requires submission of such 

information. However, a request to 

intervene will require including 

information on local residence in order 

to demonstrate a proximity assertion of 

interest in the proceeding. With respect 

to copyrighted works, except for limited 

excerpts that serve the purpose of the 

adjudicatory filings and would 

constitute a Fair Use application, 

participants are requested not to include 

copyrighted materials in their 

submission.
