NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

Proposed Availability of FY 95 Funds

for Financial Assistance (Grants) To

Support Research at Educational

Institutions and the Exchange of

Information

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory

Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC), Office of Nuclear

Regulatory Research, announces

proposed availability of Fiscal Year (FY)

95 funds to support a limited number of

research grants to educational

institutions. These funds may also be

used to support professional meetings

and conferences for the exchange and

transfer of research concepts and

findings related to the safety of nuclear

power production.

The FY 95 ceiling for research grants

to educational institutions is

approximately $1,050,000.00. Of this

amount, approximately $456,000.00 will

be available for new grants. Because of

this limitation, proposed grant budgets

should be restricted to about $50,000.00

per year, with total project funding not

exceeding $100,000.00 over a two-year

period. Proposals for new FY 95

research grants should be submitted

between the date of this Notice and

February 17, 1995. Proposals received

after February 17, 1995 will be

considered for FY 95 funding to the

extent practicable.

ADDRESS: Nuclear Regulatory

Commission. ATTN: Grants Officer,

Mail Stop T–7–I–2 Division of

Contracts, Office of Administration,

Washington, DC, 20555.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Shirley Crampton on (301) 415–6589 or

Mary Mace on (301) 415–7314.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On March 17, 1994, the Nuclear

Regulatory Commission (NRC)

published in the Federal Register a

notice that announced the proposed

availability of FY 94 funds for the NRC

Grant Program. The NRC is revising that

notice to provide information on their

grant program for FY 95.

Scope and Purpose of This

Announcement

Pursuant to Section 31.a and 141.b of

the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as

amended, the NRC’s Office of Nuclear

Regulatory Research proposes to

support educational institutions,

nonprofit entities, state and local

governments, and professional societies

through providing funds for expansion,

exchange and transfer of knowledge,

ideas, and concepts directed toward the

NRC safety research program. The

program includes, but is not limited to,

support of professional meetings and

conferences. In addition, the NRC has a

limited amount for research grants to

educational institutions (see topics

below). The FY 95 ceiling for these

grants is approximately $1,050,000.00

with approximately $456,000.00 of this

amount available for new grants.

The purpose of this program is to

stimulate research to provide a

technological base for the safety

assessment of system and subsystem

technologies used in nuclear power

applications. The results of this program

will be to increase public understanding

relating to nuclear safety, to pool the

funds of theoretical and practical

knowledge and technical information,

and ultimately to enhance the

protection of the public health and
