range of the study (N = 2,000). It is 

expected that approximately 50% of 

these respondents, or 1,000, will 

complete a 20-minute one-year followup survey. This would result in a total 

of 4,966 20-minute surveys completed 

by REU respondents, for a total of 1,655 

burden hours for this subset of 

respondents. 

For comparison group participations, 

there will be two cohorts with full 

cycles of data collection (pre-test and 

follow-up). It is expected that a total of 

2,000 respondents will complete a 20- 

minute pre-survey in the project. Of 

these 2,000 comparison group 

respondents, approximately 50%, or 

1,000, are expected to complete a 20- 

minute one-year follow-up survey. This 

would result in a total of 3,000 surveys 

completed by comparison group 

respondents, for a total of 1,000 burden 

hours. 

For REU PIs, there will be 21⁄3 years 

of complete data collection (Time 1 and 

Time 2 REU PI Information Forms). 

Based on an expected 100 NSF CISE 

REU PIs choosing to receive evaluation 

services each year, It is expected that a 

total of approximately 233 REU PIs will 

complete both the Time 1 and Time 2 

PI REU Information Forms (each one 

takes 10 minutes to complete). This 

would result in a total of 466 10-minute 

forms completed by REU PIs, for a total 

of 77.67 burden hours for this subset of 

respondents. 

Together, the total estimated survey 

burden for the project is 2,733 hours.

Board meeting: March 1–2, 2022—The 

U.S. Nuclear Waste Technical Review 

Board will hold a virtual public meeting 

to review information on the U.S. 

Department of Energy’s activities related 

to spent nuclear fuel and high-level 

radioactive waste. 

Pursuant to its authority under 

section 5051 of Public Law 100–203, 

Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act 

(NWPAA) of 1987, the U.S. Nuclear 

Waste Technical Review Board will 

hold a virtual public meeting on 

Tuesday, March 1, 2022, and 

Wednesday, March 2, 2022, to review 

information on the U.S. Department of 

Energy’s (DOE) activities related to 

spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and high-level 

radioactive waste (HLW). 

The meeting will begin on both days 

at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time 

(EST) and is scheduled to adjourn at 

5:00 p.m. EST. On the first day, the DOE 

Office of Nuclear Energy (DOE–NE) will 

provide an update on DOE’s dualpurpose canister (DPC) disposal R&D. 

Speakers representing the national 

laboratories conducting the DPC work 

for DOE will report on a repository-scale 

performance assessment incorporating 

post-closure criticality and cladding 

degradation modeling development. A 

DOE–NE representative will provide a 

summary and status of storage and 

transportation R&D and a speaker from 

the national laboratories will describe 

investigations into SNF storage canister 

surface environments and the potential 

for corrosion. 

On the second day, an experiment 

simulating aerosol transmission through 

a crack in an SNF canister wall will be 

described by a speaker from the national
