SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: Grantee Reporting 

Requirements for Science and 

Technology Centers (STC): Integrative 

Partnerships. 

OMB No.: 3145–0194. 

Expiration Date of Approval: February 

28, 2022. 

Type of Request: Intent to seek 

approval to extend an information 

collection. 

Proposed Project: 

The Science and Technology Centers 

(STC): Integrative Partnerships Program 

supports innovation in the integrative 

conduct of research, education and 

knowledge transfer. Science and 

Technology Centers build intellectual 

and physical infrastructure within and 

between disciplines, weaving together 

knowledge creation, knowledge 

integration, and knowledge transfer. 

STCs conduct world-class research 

through partnerships of academic 

institutions, national laboratories, 

industrial organizations, and/or other 

public/private entities. New knowledge 

thus created is meaningfully linked to 

society. 

STCs enable and foster excellent 

education, integrate research and 

education, and create bonds between 

learning and inquiry so that discovery 

and creativity more fully support the 

learning process. STCs capitalize on 

diversity through participation in center 

activities and demonstrate leadership in 

the involvement of groups 

underrepresented in science and 

engineering. 

Centers selected will be required to 

submit annual reports on progress and 

plans, which will be used as a basis for 

performance review and determining 

the level of continued funding. To 

support this review and the 

management of a Center, STCs will be 

required to develop a set of management 

and performance indicators for 

submission annually to NSF via an NSF 

evaluation technical assistance 

contractor. These indicators are both 

quantitative and descriptive and may 

include, for example, the characteristics 

of center personnel and students; 

sources of financial support and in-kind 

support; expenditures by operational 

component; characteristics of industrial 

and/or other sector participation; 

research activities; education activities; 

knowledge transfer activities; patents, 

licenses; publications; degrees granted 

to students involved in Center activities; 

descriptions of significant advances and 

other outcomes of the STC effort. Part of 

this reporting will take the form of a 

database which will be owned by the 

institution and eventually made 

available to an evaluation contractor. 

This database will capture specific 

information to demonstrate progress 

towards achieving the goals of the 

program. Such reporting requirements 

will be included in the cooperative 

agreement which is binding between the 

academic institution and the NSF. 

Each Center’s annual report will 

address the following categories of 

activities: (1) research, (2) education, (3) 

knowledge transfer, (4) partnerships, (5) 

diversity, (6) management and (7) 

budget issues. 

For each of the categories the report 

will describe overall objectives for the 

year, problems the Center has 

encountered in making progress towards 

goals, anticipated problems in the 

following year, and specific outputs and 

outcomes. 

Use of the Information: NSF will use 

the information to continue funding of 

the Centers, and to evaluate the progress 

of the program. 

Estimate of Burden: 100 hours per 

center for twelve centers for a total of 

1,200 hours. 

Respondents: Non-profit institutions; 

federal government. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Report: One from each of the twelve 

centers. 

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.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission 

In the Matter of: STP Nuclear Operating 

Company, (South Texas Project, Units 

1 and 2 and 72–1041 the Associated 

Independent Spent Fuel Storage 

Installation), Docket Nos. 50–498. 50– 

499, and, Renewed License Nos. NPF– 

76 and NPF–80 

Order Approving Direct Transfer of 

License 

I. 

STP Nuclear Operating Company 

(STPNOC) is the licensed operator, and 

the City of San Antonio, Texas, acting 

by and through the City Public Service 

Board of San Antonio (CPS Energy), 

Constellation South Texas, LLC 

(Constellation South Texas), and the 

City of Austin, Texas, are the licensed 

owners for Renewed Facility Operating 

License Nos. NPF–76 and NPF-80 and 

the general license for the independent 

spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) 

(collectively, the licenses), which 

authorize the possession, use, and 

operation of South Texas Project, (STP), 

Units 1 and 2 and the STP ISFSI, 

respectively (the facilities). The 

facilities are located in Matagorda 

County, Texas. 

II. 

Pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 

50.80, ‘‘Transfer of licenses,’’ and 10 

CFR 72.50, ‘‘Transfer of license,’’ and by 

letter dated July 31, 2024 (Agencywide 

Documents Access and Management 

System (ADAMS) Accession No. 

ML24213A084), STPNOC, acting on 

behalf of Constellation South Texas, and 

CPS Energy (collectively, the 

‘‘Applicants’’), requested that the U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, 

the Commission) consent to the transfer 

of a 2 percent ownership interest of 

STP, Units 1 and 2 and its generally 

licensed ISFSI from Constellation South 

Texas to CPS Energy. Currently, 

Constellation South Texas holds a 44 

percent ownership interest in the 

facilities, while CPS Energy holds a 40 

percent ownership interest in the 

facilities. Upon completion of the 

proposed direct transfer, Constellation 

South Texas and CPS Energy would 

each hold a 42 percent ownership in the 

facilities. The proposed direct transfer 

does not involve the City of Austin’s 16 

percent ownership interest in the 

facilities. 

On October 4, 2024, the NRC 

published a notice of consideration of 

approval of the application in the 

Federal Register (89 FR 80965). This 

notice provided an opportunity to 

comment, request a hearing, and 

petition for leave to intervene on the 

application. The NRC did not receive 

any written comments or hearing 

requests in response to the notice. 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.80, no license 

for a utilization facility, or any right 

thereunder, shall be transferred, either 

voluntarily or involuntarily, directly or 

indirectly, through transfer of control of 

the license to any person, unless the 

Commission gives its consent in writing. 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 72.50, no license or 

any part included in a license issued 

under 10 CFR part 72 for an ISFSI shall 

be transferred, assigned, or in any 

manner disposed of, either voluntarily 

or involuntarily, directly or indirectly, 

through transfer of control of the license 

to any person, unless the Commission 

gives its consent in writing. Upon 

review of the information in the 

application, and other information 

before the Commission, and relying 

upon the representations contained in 

the application, the NRC staff has 

determined that the Applicants are 

qualified to hold the licenses, to the 

extent described in the application, and 

that the transfer of the licenses is 

otherwise consistent with applicable 

provisions of law, regulations, and 

orders issued by the Commission 

pursuant thereto, subject to the 

condition set forth below. 

The findings set forth above are 

supported by an NRC staff safety 

evaluation dated the same date as this 

order, which is available at Agencywide 

Documents Access and Management 

System (ADAMS) Accession No. 

ML24319A034. 

III. 

Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 

161b, 161i, 161o, and 184 of the Atomic 

Energy Act of 1954, as amended, 42 

U.S.C. 2201(b), 2201(i), 2201(o), and 

2234; and 10 CFR 50.80 and 10 CFR 

72.50, it is hereby ordered that that the 

application regarding the proposed 

direct license transfer is approved for 

STP, Units 1 and 2, and the ISFSI. 

It is ordered that after receipt of all 

required regulatory approvals of the 

proposed transaction, the Applicants 

shall inform the Director of the Office of 

Nuclear Reactor Regulation in writing of 

such receipt no later than 5 business 

days prior to the planned closing of the 

proposed transaction. Should the 

proposed transaction not be completed 

within 1 year of the date of this order, 

this order shall become null and void, 

provided, however, that upon written 

application to the Director of the Office 

of Nuclear Reactor Regulation and for 

good cause shown, such date may be 

extended by order. The condition of this 

order may be amended upon application 

by the Applicants and approval by the 

NRC. 

This Order is effective upon issuance. 

For further details with respect to this 

Order, see the application dated July 31, 

2024, and the associated NRC safety 

evaluation dated the same date as this 

order. Publicly available documents
