SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Summary of Comments on the Survey 

of Doctorate Recipients and NSF’s 

Responses: As required by 5 CFR 

1320.8(d), comments on the information 

collection activities as part of this study 

were solicited through the publication 

of a 60-Day Notice in the Federal 

Register on 5 February 2021, at 86 FR 

8384. We received two comments. The 

nature of each comment and our 

responses are summarized below. 

Comment: On 5 February 2021, Dr. 

Andrew Reamer of George Washington 

University sent an email to NSF on 

behalf of the American Economic 

Association’s Committee on Economic 

Statistics. He requested the draft 

information collection request (ICR) 

materials for the 2021 SDR and asked 

whether any changes were proposed for 

the 2021 SDR compared to the 2019 

SDR. 

Response: NSF responded to Dr. 

Reamer on 2 February 2021, explaining 

that the 2021 SDR ICR materials were in 

the process of being prepared and that 

there were no substantive changes 

planned. He was directed to the 2019 

SDR questionnaires on the NSF website, 

which would be updated to reflect the 

survey year. He was also informed that 

the same instrument, with updates to 

reflect survey year and modifications to 

accommodate the circumstances of the 

coronavirus pandemic, will be used for 

the 2021 cycle. 

Comment: NCSES received a 

comment on 17 March 2021 from Dr. 

Jon Freeman representing the American 

Association for the Advancement of 

Science (AAAS) and the American 

Educational Research Association 

(AERA). The commenters requested that 

NCSES include measures of sexual 

orientation and gender identity on the 

SDR and on other NCSES surveys 

(specifically, the National Survey of 

College Graduates and the Survey of 

Earned Doctorates). 

Response: NCSES informed the 

commenters that it continues to actively 

engage on the Federal Committee on 

Statistical Methodology’s (FCSM) 

Working Group on Measuring Sexual 

Orientation and Gender Identity and 

described its research efforts for 

development and fielding possible 

questionnaire additions to address the 

topic. NCSES informed the commenters 

that it does not intend to include these 

measures in the 2021 SDR. 

Title of Collection: 2021 Survey of 

Doctorate Recipients. 

OMB Approval Number: 3145–0020. 

Summary of Collection: The purpose 

of this panel survey is to collect data 

that will be used to provide national 

estimates on the doctoral science and 

engineering workforce and changes in 

their employment, education, and 

demographic characteristics. The SDR is 

sponsored by the National Center for 

Science and Engineering Statistics 

(NCSES) within the NSF and by the 

National Institutes of Health. 

The National Science Foundation Act 

of 1950, as subsequently amended, 

includes a statutory charge to ‘‘. . . 

provide a central clearinghouse for the 

collection, interpretation, and analysis 

of data on scientific and engineering 

resources, and to provide a source of 

information for policy formulation by 

other agencies of the Federal 

Government.’’ The SDR is designed to 

comply with these mandates by 

providing information on the supply 

and utilization of the nation’s doctoral 

level scientists and engineers. 

Use of the Information: The NSF uses 

the information from the SDR to prepare 

congressionally-mandated reports such 

as Women, Minorities and Persons with 

Disabilities in Science and Engineering 

and Science and Engineering Indicators. 

NCSES also produces, on a biennial 

basis, a set of statistical tables from the 

SDR, and publishes statistics from the 

SDR in other reports. 

Expected Respondents: A statistical 

sample of 130,938 individuals who had 

earned a research doctorate degree from 

a U.S. academic institution in the fields 

of science, engineering, or health (SEH) 

will be contacted in 2021; these 

individuals may reside in the U.S. or 

abroad. As with prior SDR data 

collection cycles, the sample consists of 

all eligible cases from the previous 

cycle, as well as a sample of new 

doctoral graduates, who received their 

doctorate between 1 July 2017 and 30 

June 2019. In addition, the sample may 

include 5,000 cases that will be part of 

a non-production bridge panel designed 

to quantify the potential impact of 

question wording modifications on key 

survey estimates. Another 9% of the 

production sample may submit an interround updated contact form that takes 

about 3 minutes to complete. 

Estimate of Burden: NCSES expects 

the overall 2021 SDR response rate to be 

approximately 70 percent. The amount 

of time to complete the questionnaire 

may vary depending on an individual’s 

circumstances; however, based on 2019 

SDR completion times, NCSES estimates 

an average completion time of 

approximately 21 minutes. NCSES 

estimates that the average annual 

burden for the 2021 survey cycle over 

the course of the three-year OMB 

clearance period will be no more than 

10,882 hours [(130,938 individuals × 

70% response × 21 minutes) + (125,938 

× 9% participation × 3 minutes)]/3 

years/60 minutes. 

Dated: May 26, 2021.

Reports Clearance Officer, National Science 

Foundation.

Transfer of Licenses and Conforming 

Amendments 

In the Matter of ZionSolutions, LLC and 

Exelon Generation Company, LLC 

Zion Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 

2; EA–19–125 

Docket Nos. 50–295, 50–304, and 72– 

1037; License Nos.: DPR–39 and DPR– 

48 

Order Extending the Effectiveness of the 

Approval of the Transfer of Licenses 

and Conforming Amendments 

I 

ZionSolutions, LLC is the holder of 

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 

(NRC, the Commission) Facility 

Operating License Nos. DPR–39 and 

DPR–48 for the Zion Nuclear Power 

Station, Units 1 and 2, respectively 

(ZNPS), and the associated general 

license for the ZNPS independent spent 

fuel storage installation (ISFSI), which 

are located in Lake County, Illinois. 

ZionSolutions, LLC is authorized to 

possess and maintain ZNPS and the 

ZNPS ISFSI. Operation of ZNPS is no 

longer authorized under these licenses. 

II 

By Order dated November 26, 2019 

(Transfer Order), the Commission 

consented to the direct transfer of the 

ZNPS licenses from ZionSolutions, LLC 

to Exelon Generation Company, LLC 

and approved draft conforming 

administrative license amendments in 

accordance with Sections 50.80, 

‘‘Transfer of licenses,’’ 72.50, ‘‘Transfer 

of license,’’ and 50.90, ‘‘Application for 

amendment of license, construction 

permit, or early site permit,’’ of Title 10 

of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 

CFR). By its terms, the Transfer Order 

becomes null and void if the transfer is 

not completed within one year (i.e., by 

November 26, 2020); provided, 

however, that upon written application 

and for good cause shown, such date 

may be extended by order. By letter 

dated August 27, 2020, ZionSolutions, 

LLC submitted a written application to 

extend the effectiveness of the Transfer 

Order by six months, until May 26, 

2021. That request was approved by 

Order dated October 21, 2020. 

III 

By letter dated April 15, 2021, 

ZionSolutions, LLC submitted a written 

application to extend the effectiveness 

of the Transfer Order by an additional 

six months, until November 26, 2021. 

As stated in the application, responses 

to requests for additional information 

regarding ZNPS Final Status Survey 

Final Reports (FSSRs) and their 

associated Release Records are currently 

under review by the NRC staff. The 

extension would provide the NRC staff 

with additional time to assess the 

responses provided by ZionSolutions, 

LLC and make a final determination 

regarding the release of land for 

unrestricted use. 

Based on the above, the NRC staff has 

determined that ZionSolutions, LLC has 

shown good cause for extending the 

effectiveness of the Transfer Order by an 

additional six months, as requested. 

IV 

Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 

161b, 161i, and 184 of the Atomic 

Energy Act of 1954, as amended, 42 

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

2234; and 10 CFR 50.80 and 10 CFR 

72.50, it is hereby ordered that the 

effectiveness of the Transfer Order dated 

November 26, 2019, is extended until 

November 26, 2021. Should the subject 

license transfer from ZionSolutions, LLC 

to Exelon Generation Company, LLC not 

be completed by November 26, 2021, 

the Transfer Order shall become null 

and void; provided, however, that upon 

written application and for good cause 

shown, such date may be extended by 

order. 

This Order is effective upon issuance. 

For further details with respect to this 

Order, see the written application for 

extension dated April 15, 2021, which 

is available electronically through the 

NRC’s Agencywide Documents Access 

and Management System (ADAMS) in

reading-rm/adams.html under 

Accession No. ML21112A164. Persons 

who encounter problems with ADAMS 

should contact the NRC’s Public 

Document Room reference staff by 

telephone at 1–800–397–4209 or 301– 

415–4737 or by email to pdr.resource@
