Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 7 / Tuesday, January 11, 2022 / Notices 1441 

Abstract: The information collection 

will enable the Evaluation and 

Assessment Capability (EAC) Section 

within NSF to garner quantitative and 

qualitative information that will be used 

to inform programmatic improvements, 

efficiencies, and enhanced program 

monitoring for the Convergence 

Accelerator (CA). This information 

collection, which entails collecting 

information from CA applicants and 

grantees through a series of surveys, 

interviews, and case studies, is in 

accordance with the Agency’s 

commitment to improving service 

delivery as well as the Agency’s 

strategic goal to ‘‘advance the capability 

of the Nation to meet current and future 

challenges.’’ 

For this effort, four survey 

instruments have been developed, each 

of which will include closed-ended and 

open-ended questions to generate 

quantitative and qualitative data. For 

ease of use for our respondent pool, 

each of the four survey instruments will 

be programmed into interactive web 

surveys and distributed to eligible 

respondents by email. The surveys, 

which will serve as a census for all 

applicable CA applicants and/or 

grantees, will be used to collect baseline 

measures at the start of the program and 

vital information on how grantees 

progress through the program. Followup interviews will be conducted with 

project team leaders, such as Principal 

Investigators (PIs) and Principal 

Directors (PDs), and case studies that 

will use a project team as the unit of 

analysis will be used to collect 

qualitatively rich discursive and 

observational information that cannot be 

collected within a web survey. Both 

follow-up interviews and case studies 

will be conducted virtually with the 

possibility of in-person interviews and 

non-participant observation to be held 

in the future. 

NSF/EAC will only submit a 

collection for approval under this 

generic clearance if it meets the 

following conditions: 

Æ The collection is voluntary; 

Æ The collection has a reasonably low 

burden for respondents (based on 

considerations of total burden hours, 

total number of respondents, or burdenhours per respondent) and is low-cost 

for the Federal government; 

Æ The collection is non-controversial 

and does not raise issues of concern for 

other Federal agencies; 

Æ The collection is targeted to the 

solicitation of opinions from 

respondents who have applied to the 

CA program (including those that have 

submitted successful grant applications 

and subsequently received funding); 

Æ Personally identifiable information 

(PII) is collected only to the extent 

necessary; and 

Æ Information gathered will be used 

for the dual and interrelated purposes of 

disseminating information about the CA 

program and using this information to 

make programmatic improvements, 

efficiencies, and enhanced program 

monitoring for the CA. 

Feedback collected under this generic 

clearance provides useful information 

for the continued evolution of the CA 

program, but it may not yield data that 

can be generalized to the overall 

population in all instances. Our 

qualitative data collection activities— 

follow-up interviews and case studies— 

are designed to investigate outlier CA 

teams or CA teams that demonstrate 

exceptional performance or successfully 

overcome significant challenges in their 

work with the CA. While the web 

surveys, which will be deployed at 

different times during the program, will 

collect data that will help the EAC 

monitor trends over time and assess 

overall program performance, the 

follow-up interviews and case studies 

will gather supplemental data that is 

more specific to individual CA teams. 

As a general matter, this information 

collection will not include questions of 

a sensitive nature, such as sexual 

behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs, 

and other matters that are commonly 

considered private. 

Below we provide NSF’s projected 

average estimates for the next three 

years: 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

households, Businesses and other forprofit organizations, Not-for-profit 

institutions, Federal government. 

Average Expected Annual Number of 

Activities: 10. 

Respondents: 300 per activity. 

Annual Responses: 3,000. 

Frequency of Response: Once per 

request. 

Average Minutes per Response: 75. 

Burden Hours: 1,400. 

Comments: Comments are invited on 

(a) whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Agency, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the Agency’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information; (c) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information on respondents, 

including through the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology; and (d) ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on those who are to 

respond, including through the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Discussion 

The NRC staff has denied the custom 

combined license application for the 

Aurora reactor pursuant to the 

requirements of Part 2 of title 10 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), 

‘‘Agency Rules of Practice and 

Procedure,’’ Section 2.108, ‘‘Denial of 

application for failure to supply 

information.’’ The staff denied the 

application because, as described below, 

Oklo Power LLC (Oklo), a wholly owned 

subsidiary of Oklo Inc., did not provide 

sufficient information within the time 

specified in NRC staff RAIs and has not 

otherwise provided sufficient 

information to address the specific 

questions identified in the RAIs. The 

NRC staff requested additional 

information to resolve key safety and 

design aspects of the licensing basis and 

establish a schedule for the full review 

of the proposed Aurora facility. Because 

Oklo has failed to provide substantive 

technical information necessary to 

respond to the NRC staff’s RAIs, the staff 

can neither establish a schedule for 

conducting a detailed technical review 

of the application nor reach safety 

findings required to license the facility. 

Accordingly, the agency is ending its 

review of the Aurora custom combined 

license application and denying the 

application without prejudice. Oklo is 

free to resubmit its application 

supplemented by additional information 

in the areas described in this section. 

On March 11, 2020 (85 FR 19032), 

Oklo submitted a custom combined 

license application for one microreactor, 

designated the Aurora, to be located at 

the Idaho National Laboratory in Idaho. 

A custom combined license application 

submitted under 10 CFR part 52, 

subpart C, ‘‘Combined Licenses,’’ must 

contain site-specific information needed 

for licensing as well as the same level 

of design detail that would be required 

for a design certification application so 

that the NRC can make final safety 

findings on the design. Since March 

2020, when Oklo submitted its custom 

combined license application, Oklo has 

repeatedly failed to provide substantive 

information in response to NRC staff 

RAIs on the maximum credible accident 

(MCA) analysis for the Aurora; the 

safety classification of structures, 

systems, and components (SSCs); and 

other issues needed for the NRC staff to 

establish a schedule for its technical 

review and to complete that review. 

These information needs were identified 

and communicated to Oklo in letters 

dated June 5, 2020 and November 17, 

2020, in RAIs issued in September 2020, 

and at many additional times after the 

custom combined license application 

was submitted. 

In a letter dated June 5, 2020 (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML20149K616), 

docketing the custom combined license 

application, the NRC staff 

communicated its plans to complete the 

review of the Aurora design in a twostep process. In Step 1, which the staff 

estimated would last five months, the 

NRC staff planned to engage Oklo on 

four key safety and design aspects of the 

licensing basis: (1) The MCA analysis, 

which affects several aspects of the 

licensing basis for the Aurora; (2) the 

classification of SSCs, including 

performance requirements; (3) the 

implementation of Oklo’s quality 

assurance (QA) program to the design; 

and (4) certain topics related to the 

applicability of regulations. At the 

conclusion of Step 1, NRC staff expected 

to have defined the scope of the full, 

detailed technical review and thus be 

able to develop a schedule to efficiently 

perform the review in Step 2. 

As part of the Step 1 custom 

combined license application review, in 

September 2020 the staff asked RAIs on 

the subjects of the MCA analysis, safety 

classification of SSCs, and QA program 

implementation (ADAMS Accession 

Nos. ML20265A121, ML20265A123, 

ML20265A346, and ML20267A529). 

Oklo submitted a reply on October 30, 

2020, but its reply did not provide the 

detailed technical information needed 

to respond to the staff’s questions 

(ADAMS Package Accession No. 

ML20305A582). On November 17, 2020, 

the staff issued two letters to Oklo; one 

letter (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML20300A593) closed out the portion of 

the Step 1 review related to the 

applicability of regulations, which did 

not depend on the RAI reply, and the 

second letter (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML20308A677) identified areas where 

the RAI reply did not provide sufficient 

information on safety aspects of the 

Aurora design to enable the NRC to 

complete the Step 1 review and 

establish a schedule for a detailed 

technical review of the application. The 

second letter also stated that the NRC 

staff would treat the topic of QA 

program implementation together with 

safety classification of SSCs, given the 

relationship between the two topics, 

and summarized the technical 

information that Oklo would need to 

submit to support closure of the Step 1 

review with respect to the MCA analysis 

and the safety classification of SSCs. 

Oklo subsequently informed NRC staff 

that it would submit two generic topical 

reports to address these topics, 

including the specific questions in the 

RAIs. By letter dated July 2, 2021 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML21184A001), 

Oklo submitted topical reports, 

‘‘Maximum Credible Accident 

Methodology,’’ Revision 2 (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML21184A002), and 

‘‘Performance Based Licensing 

Methodology,’’ Revision 0 (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML21187A001), which 

Oklo provided to explain its novel 

approach to MCA analysis and SSC 

classification respectively. The NRC 

staff performed completeness reviews of 

the topical reports and determined that 

the topical reports were not sufficiently 

complete for the NRC staff to initiate 

detailed technical reviews. The NRC 

staff informed Oklo of the decision by 

two emails dated August 5, 2021 

(ADAMS Accession Nos. ML21201A079 

and ML21201A111), that included 

attachments describing the 

supplemental information needed for 

the NRC staff to begin the detailed 

review of each topical report (ADAMS 

Accession Nos. ML21201A094 and 

ML21201A113). At Oklo’s request, the 

NRC staff also held public meetings 

with Oklo on September 1, 16, and 28, 

2021 (ADAMS Accession Nos. 

ML21259A260, ML21266A428, and 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 7 / Tuesday, January 11, 2022 / Notices 1443 

ML21293A329, respectively) to clarify 

the supplemental information needs. In 

response, Oklo submitted ‘‘Maximum 

Credible Accident Methodology,’’ 

Revision 3 on October 5, 2021 (ADAMS 

Accession Nos. ML21278B097 and 

ML21278B098), and ‘‘PerformanceBased Licensing Methodology,’’ 

Revision 1 on October 19, 2021 

(ADAMS Accession Nos. ML21292A326 

and ML21292A327). The NRC staff 

performed completeness reviews of the 

revised topical reports and informed 

Oklo by letter dated January 6, 2022 

(ADAMS Package Accession No. 

ML21307A108) the topical reports still 

did not contain sufficient technical 

information for the NRC staff to initiate 

detailed technical reviews. 

The NRC staff has denied the Aurora 

custom combined license application 

because Oklo has repeatedly failed to 

submit the information needed to 

complete the Step 1 review of its MCA 

analysis and safety classification of 

SSCs. Oklo’s October 30, 2020, RAI 

responses did not contain sufficient 

technical information. The topical 

reports Oklo submitted, in part, to 

address Step 1 of the review to support 

a predictable review schedule, 

contained information that is 

conceptual in nature and does not 

adequately describe Oklo’s 

methodologies for the Aurora’s MCA 

analysis or for safety classification of 

SSCs. Because of Oklo’s repeated 

failures to provide sufficient 

information on safety aspects of the 

Aurora design in response to the NRC 

staff’s RAIs, including information 

related to its MCA methodology, safety 

classification of SSCs (including Oklo’s 

implementation of its QA program), and 

the specific matters identified in the 

September 2020 RAIs, the NRC staff 

cannot establish a schedule for 

conducting a detailed technical review 

and the NRC’s review of the Aurora 

custom combined license application 

cannot move forward. Oklo was notified 

of the NRC’s denial of the custom 

combined license application by letter 

dated January 6, 2022 (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML21357A034). 

II. Opportunity To Request a Hearing 

and Petition for Leave To Intervene 

Within 30 days after the date of 

publication of this notice, the applicant 

may demand a hearing with respect to 

the denial described above. A demand 

for hearing must be filed in accordance 

with the NRC’s requirements specified 

in 10 CFR part 2, subpart C, except for 

10 CFR 2.309(f). If the applicant 

demands a hearing, the demand must 

identify each error of fact or law that the 

applicant asserts is material to the 

denial or identify any other reason why 

the denial should not have been issued. 

The applicant must further state in the 

demand the specific bases, whether 

factual or legal, for each asserted error 

or other reason why the denial should 

not have been issued. The demand must 

refer to the specific statements in 

documents on the docket that the 

applicant asserts respond to the RAIs. 

In addition, any person (petitioner) 

whose interest may be affected by this 

denial may, within 30 days after the 

date of publication of this notice, file a 

request for a hearing and petition for 

leave to intervene (petition) with respect 

to the denial. Petitions must be filed in 

accordance with the Commission’s 

‘‘Agency Rules of Practice and 

Procedure’’ in 10 CFR part 2. The NRC’s 

regulations are accessible electronically 

from the NRC Library on the NRC’s 

website at http://www.nrc.gov/readingrm/doc-collections/cfr/. Alternatively, a 

copy of the regulations is available at 

the NRC’s PDR by appointment, located 

at One White Flint North, Room P1 B35, 

11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), 

Rockville, Maryland 20852. To schedule 

an appointment to visit the PDR, please 

email PDR.Resource@nrc.gov or call 1– 

800–397–4209. If a petition is filed, the 

Commission or a presiding officer will 

rule on the petition and, if appropriate, 

a notice of a hearing will be issued. 

As required by 10 CFR 2.309(d) the 

petition should specifically explain the 

reasons why intervention to contest the 

denial should be permitted with 

particular reference to the following 

general requirements for standing: (1) 

The name, address, and telephone 

number of the petitioner; (2) the nature 

of the petitioner’s right under the Act to 

be made a party to the proceeding; (3) 

the nature and extent of the 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 

petitioner’s interest. 

The petition must also set forth the 

specific contentions which the 

petitioner seeks to have litigated in the 

proceeding. Contentions must be 

limited to matters within the scope of 

the proceeding, i.e., why the application 

should not have been denied under 10 

CFR 2.108. Each contention must 

consist of a specific statement of the 

issue of law or fact to be raised or 

controverted. In addition, the petitioner 

must provide a brief explanation of the 

bases for the contention and a concise 

statement of the alleged facts or expert 

opinion which support the contention 

and on which the petitioner intends to 

rely in proving the contention at the 

hearing. The petitioner must also 

provide references to the specific 

sources and documents submitted on 

the docket on which the petitioner 

intends to rely to support its position 

that the application should not have 

been denied. The contention must be 

one which, if proven, would entitle the 

petitioner to relief. A petitioner who 

fails to satisfy the above 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. Parties have the opportunity 

to participate fully in the conduct of the 

hearing with respect to resolution of 

that party’s admitted contentions, 

including the opportunity to present 

evidence, consistent with the NRC’s 

regulations, policies, and procedures. 

Petitions must be filed no later than 

30 days from the date of publication of 

this notice. Petitions and motions for 

leave to file new or amended 

contentions that are filed after the 

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) through (iii). The petition 

must be filed in accordance with the 

filing instructions in the ‘‘Electronic 

Submissions (E-Filing)’’ section of this 

document. 

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 no later than 30 days from 

the date of publication of this notice. 

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 set 

forth in this section, except that under 

10 CFR 2.309(h)(2) a State, local 

governmental body, or Federally 

recognized Indian Tribe, or agency 

thereof does not need to address the 

standing requirements in 10 CFR 

2.309(d) if the facility is located within 

its boundaries. Alternatively, a State, 

local governmental body, Federally 

recognized Indian Tribe, or agency 

thereof may participate as a non-party 

under 10 CFR 2.315(c). 

If the applicant demands a hearing, 

the presiding officer grants a petition to 

intervene, or both, the proceeding will 

be conducted under 10 CFR part 2, 

subpart L, unless (1) the presiding 

officer elects other procedures; (2) the 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
1444 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 7 / Tuesday, January 11, 2022 / Notices 

presiding officer finds, upon motion of 

a party accompanying its demand or 

petition, that the circumstances satisfy 

the standards in 10 CFR 2.310(d) for 

conducting the proceeding under 10 

CFR part 2, subpart G; or (3) all parties 

jointly agree and request that the 

proceeding be conducted under the 

procedures of another subpart of 10 CFR 

part 2. 

III. Electronic Submissions (E-Filling) 

All documents filed in NRC 

adjudicatory proceedings, including a 

demand for hearing, a petition for leave 

to intervene, any motion or other 

document filed in the proceeding prior 

to the submission of a demand for 

hearing or petition to intervene 

(hereinafter ‘‘petition’’), and documents 

filed by interested governmental entities 

participating under 10 CFR 2.315(c), 

must be filed in accordance with 10 CFR 

2.302. The E-Filing process requires 

participants to submit and serve all 

adjudicatory documents over the 

internet, or in some cases to mail copies 

on electronic storage media, unless an 

exemption permitting an alternative 

filing method, as discussed below, is 

granted. Participants may not submit 

paper copies of their filings unless they 

seek an exemption in accordance with 

the procedures described below. 

Detailed guidance on electronic 

submissions is located in the Guidance 

for Electronic Submissions to the NRC 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML13031A056) 

and on the NRC website at https://

www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html. 

To comply with the procedural 

requirements of E-Filing, at least 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 petition or other 

adjudicatory document (even in 

instances in which the participant, or its 

counsel or representative, already holds 

an NRC-issued digital ID certificate). 

Based upon this information, the 

Secretary will establish an electronic 

docket for the 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 website at https://

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

getting-started.html. After a digital ID 

certificate is obtained and a docket 

created, the participant must submit 

adjudicatory documents in Portable 

Document Format. Guidance on 

submissions is available on the NRC’s 

public website at https://www.nrc.gov/ 

site-help/electronic-sub-ref-mat.html. A 

filing is considered complete at the time 

the document is 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 EFiling system timestamps the document 

and sends the submitter an email 

confirming receipt of the document. The 

E-Filing system also distributes an email 

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 document on 

those participants separately. Therefore, 

applicants and other participants (or 

their counsel or representative) must 

apply for and receive a digital ID 

certificate before adjudicatory 

documents are filed to obtain access to 

the documents via the E-Filing system. 

A person filing electronically using 

the NRC’s adjudicatory E-Filing system 

may seek assistance by contacting the 

NRC’s Electronic Filing Help Desk 

through the ‘‘Contact Us’’ link located 

on the NRC’s public website 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 

Electronic Filing Help Desk is available 

between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., Eastern 

Time, Monday through Friday, 

excluding government holidays. 

Participants who believe that they 

have 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 stating why there is good cause for 

not filing electronically and requesting 

authorization to continue to submit 

documents in paper format. Such filings 

must be submitted in accordance with 

10 CFR 2.302(b)-(d). Participants filing 

adjudicatory documents in this manner
