collection is necessary for NARA to 

properly perform its functions; (b) the 

accuracy of our estimate of the 

information collection’s burden on 

respondents; (c) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information we propose to collect; (d) 

ways to minimize the burden on 

respondents of collecting the 

information, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology; 

and (e) whether the collection affects 

small businesses. In this notice, NARA 

solicits comments concerning the 

following information collection: 

Title: Researcher Application. 

OMB number: 3095–0016. 

Agency form number: NA Form 

14003. 

Type of review: Regular. 

Affected public: Individuals or 

households, business or other for-profit,

BILLING CODE 7533–01–P 

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

Request for Applications; Qualified 

Candidates for the Advisory 

Committee on Reactor Safeguards 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Request for resumes. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) seeks qualified 

candidates for the Advisory Committee 

on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS). Submit 

resumes to Kendra Freeland and Jamila 

Perry, ACRS, Mail Stop T2E26, U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 

Washington, DC 20555–0001, or email 

Kendra.Freeland@nrc.gov and 

Jamila.Perry@nrc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ACRS 

is a part-time advisory group, which is 

statutorily mandated by the Atomic 

Energy Act of 1954, as amended. ACRS 

provides independent expert advice on 

matters related to the safety of existing 

and proposed nuclear power plants and 

on the adequacy of proposed reactor 

safety standards. Of primary importance 

are the safety issues associated with the 

operation of 99 commercial nuclear 

power plants in the United States and 

regulatory initiatives, including riskinformed and performance-based 

regulation, license renewal, power 

uprates, and the use of mixed oxide and 

high burnup fuels. An increased 

emphasis is being given to safety issues 

associated with new reactor designs and 

technologies, including passive system 

reliability and thermal hydraulic 

phenomena, use of digital 

instrumentation and control, 

international codes and standards used 

in multinational design certifications, 

materials, and structural engineering, 

nuclear analysis and reactor core 

performance, and nuclear materials and 

radiation protection. In addition, the 

ACRS may be requested to provide 

advice on radiation protection, 

radioactive waste management, and 

earth sciences in the agency’s licensing 

reviews for fuel fabrication and 

enrichment facilities, and for waste 

disposal facilities. The ACRS also has 

some involvement in security matters 

related to the integration of safety and 

security of commercial reactors.

sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
2680 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 12 / Thursday, January 18, 2018 / Notices 

advisory/acrs.html for additional 

information about the ACRS. Criteria 

used to evaluate candidates include 

education and experience, demonstrated 

skills in nuclear reactor safety matters, 

the ability to solve complex technical 

problems, and the ability to work 

collegially on a board, panel, or 

committee. The Commission, in 

selecting its Committee members, also 

considers the need for specific expertise 

to accomplish the work expected to be 

before the ACRS. ACRS Committee 

members are appointed for four-year 

terms with no term limits. The 

Commission looks to fill one vacancy as 

a result of this request. For this position, 

a candidate must have extensive 

experience in nuclear power plant light 

water reactor (LWR) severe accident 

behavior, accident source terms (i.e., 

fission product release and transport 

and aerosol/particulate dynamics for 

LWRs), and advanced reactor systems. 

Best qualified candidates must also have 

at least 20 years of broad experience and 

a distinguished record of achievement 

in one or more areas of nuclear science 

and technology or related engineering 

disciplines. It would be useful if the 

candidate also has experience in fuel 

qualification, fuel performance, fuel 

fabrication and process development, as 

well as irradiation testing and postirradiation examination. Candidates 

with pertinent graduate level experience 

will be given additional consideration. 

Consistent with the requirements of 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 

the Commission seeks candidates with 

diverse backgrounds, so that the 

membership on the Committee is fairly 

balanced in terms of the points of view 

represented and functions to be 

performed by the Committee. 

Candidates will undergo a thorough 

security background check to obtain the 

security clearance that is mandatory for 

all ACRS members. The security 

background check will involve the 

completion and submission of 

paperwork to the NRC. Candidates for 

ACRS appointments may be involved in 

or have financial interests related to 

NRC-regulated aspects of the nuclear 

industry. However, because conflict-ofinterest considerations may restrict the 

participation of a candidate in ACRS 

activities, the degree and nature of any 

such restriction on an individual’s 

activities as a member will be 

considered in the selection process. 

Each qualified candidate’s financial 

interests must be reconciled with 

applicable Federal and NRC rules and 

regulations prior to final appointment. 

This might require divestiture of 

securities or discontinuance of certain 

contracts or grants. Information 

regarding these restrictions will be 

provided upon request. As a part of the 

Stop Trading on Congressional 

Knowledge Act of 2012, which bans 

insider trading by members of Congress, 

their staff, and other high-level Federal 

employees, candidates for appointments 

will be required to disclose additional 

financial transactions. 

A resume describing the educational 

and professional background of the 

candidate, including any special 

accomplishments, publications, and 

professional references should be 

provided. Candidates should provide 

their current address, telephone 

number, and email address. All 

candidates will receive careful 

consideration. Appointment will be 

made without regard to factors such as 

race, color, religion, national origin, sex, 

age, or disabilities. Candidates must be 

citizens of the United States and be able 

to devote approximately 100 days per 

year to Committee business, but may not 

be compensated for more than 130 

calendar days. Resumes will be 

accepted until February 20, 2018. 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 11th day 

of January, 2018. 

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. 

Annette L. Vietti-Cook, 

Secretary of the Commission.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The San Onofre Nuclear Generating 

Station, Units 1, 2, and 3 (SONGS), 

operated by the Southern California 

Edison Company (SCE) is located 

approximately 4 miles south of San 

Clemente, California. The SONGS, Unit 

1, Docket No. 50–206, was a 

Westinghouse 456 megawatt electric 

(MWe) pressurized water reactor which 

was granted Facility Operating License 

No. DPR–13 on January 1, 1968 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML13309A138), 

and ceased operation on November 30, 

1992 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML13319B040). The licensee completed 

defueling on March 6, 1993 (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML13319B055), and 

maintained the unit in SAFSTOR until 

June 1999, when it initiated 

decommissioning (ADAMS Accession 

No. ML13319B111). On December 28, 

1993 (ADAMS Accession No.
