SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: Recurring Study of 

National Science Foundation-sponsored 

Graduate Education Impacts or Legacy 

(GEIL). (Formerly called the Evaluation 

of the Initial Impacts of the Integrative 

Graduate Education Research and 

Traineeship (IGERT) Program.) 

OMB Control No.: 3145–0182. 

Abstract 

The National Science Foundation 

(NSF) requests reinstatement of this data 

collection (e.g., interviews, surveys, 

focus groups, site visits) measuring 

NSF’s contribution to the Nation’s 

graduate education enterprise and 

overall science and engineering 

workforce. This continuation expands 

the data collection formerly called ‘‘The 

Evaluation of the Initial Impacts of the 

IGERT Program’’ most recently 

approved through July 2005 (OMB 

3145–0182). 

IGERT began data collection in the 

late 1990s for use in program research, 

management, and evaluation. Data 

collection was concurrent with NSFfunding in order to document IGERT’s 

initial impact within individual 

departments or institutions (often called 

projects), and on student, faculty, and 

other participants as compared to the 

educational and training experiences of 

individuals who were external to 

IGERT. This request expands data 

collection to the portfolio of NSFfunded graduate education programs 

and projects, typically on a program-byprogram sub-study basis in order to 

address long-term impact. 

For over fifty years NSF has funded 

directly and indirectly (e.g., via 

institutions), tens of thousands of 

individuals who pursue postundergraduate education or research 

training. NSF’s graduate education 

portfolio includes: 

The Integrative Graduate Education 

Research and Traineeship (IGERT) 

program. IGERT provides grants to 

institutions to recruit and support 

doctoral students in interdisciplinary 

Science, Technology, Engineering, and 

Mathematics programs (STEM). 

The Graduate Teaching Fellows in K–

12 Education (GK–12) program. GK–12 

provides grants to institutions to 

support STEM graduate students’

acquisition of skills that will prepare 

them for careers in the 21st century. 

The Graduate Research Fellowship 

(GRF) program. GRF provides three 

years of funding to eligible individuals 

for graduate study leading to researchbased masters or doctoral degrees at an 

IHE of their choice. 

A longer list of NSF’s graduate 

education opportunities and eligibility 

information is on the NSF Web site 

under the link: ‘‘Specialized 

information for Graduate Students’’ at: 

http://www.nsf.gov/funding/education/ 

jsp?org=NSF@fund--type-2. 

Through longitudinal study NSF aims 

to learn about the long-term impact or 

legacy of its program strategies in 

graduate education. A primary goal is to 

identify and follow-up with individuals 

who participate in NSF-funded 

programs or projects, especially 

students who graduated with masters or 

doctoral degrees. The primary means of 

data collection will be surveys. Site 

visits, focus groups and interviews are 

used to improve survey instruments, 

clarify responses or address questions of 

institutional impact. Typical 

respondents are former NSF-funded 

fellows, trainees or to her participants in 

NSF-funded projects or are professional 

scientists, engineers, IHE faculty, Kgraduate educators, education 

administrators and K–IHE policymakers. 

NSF uses the analysis of responses to 

prepare and publish reports and to 

respond to requests from Committees of 

Visitors, Congress and the Office of 

management and Budget, particularly as 

related to the Government Performance 

and Results Act (GPRA) and the 

Program Assessment Rating Tool 

(PART). 

The study’s broad questions include 

but are not limited to: What do 

individuals following post-participation 

in IGERT or other NSF-funded graduate 

opportunities do? Do IGERT or other 

NSF-funded opportunities provide 

graduates with the professional and/or 

research skills needed to work in 

science and engineering? Are IGERT or 

other NSF-sponsored graduates satisfied 

that their NSF-funded graduate 

education advanced their careers in 

science or engineering? To what extent 

do IGERT or other former-NSFsponsored graduates engage in the 

science and engineering workforce 

conduct inter- or multi-disciplinary 

science? Is there evidence of a legacy 

from NSF-funding that changed a 

degree-granting department beyond 

number of students supported and 

degrees awarded? To what extent have 

projects achieved or contributed to 

individual project goals or the NSF 

program goals? To what extent have 

NSF-funded projects or programs 

broadened participation by diverse 

individuals, particularly individuals 

traditionally underemployed in science 

or engineering, including but not 

limited to women, minorities, and 

persons-with-disabilities? 

Respondents: Individuals or 

households, not-for-profit institutions, 

business or other for profit, and Federal, 

State, Local, or Tribal Government. 

Number of Respondents: 3,345. 

Burden on the Public: 1,552 hours. 

This estimate covers three graduate 

education programs, their participants,

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 50–336] 

Millstone Power Station, Unit No. 2; 

Notice of Consideration of Issuance of 

Amendment to Facility Operating 

License, Proposed No Significant 

Hazards Consideration Determination 

and Opportunity for a Hearing 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (the Commission or NRC) 

is considering issuance of an 

amendment to Facility Operating 

License No. DPR–65 issued to Dominion 

Nuclear Connecticut (the licensee) for 

operation of the Millstone Power 

Station, Unit No. 2, located in New 

London County, Connecticut. 

The proposed amendment would 

revise Technical Specification (TS) 3/ 

4.4.3, ‘‘Reactor Coolant System, Relief 

Valves’’ to modify the method of testing 

the pressurizer Power Operated Relief 

Valves (PORVs). Specifically, the 

requirement for bench testing the valves 

is changed to accommodate testing of 

the PORVs while installed in the plant. 

The change is requested due to the 

installation of new PORVs that are 

welded to the piping rather than bolted 

into the system. 

Before issuance of the proposed 

license amendment, the Commission 

will have made findings required by the 

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended 

(the Act), and the Commission’s 

regulations. 

The Commission has made a 

proposed determination that the 

amendment request involves no 

significant hazards consideration. Under 

the Commission’s regulations in Title 10
