SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title of 

Collection: Implementation Evaluation 

of the ADVANCE Program. 

OMB Control No.: 3145–NEW. 

Expiration Date of Approval: Not 

applicable. 

Abstract 

The ADVANCE Program was 

established by the National Science 

Foundation in 2001 to address the 

underrepresentation and inadequate 

advancement of women on STEM 

(Science, Technology, Engineering, and 

Mathematics) faculties at postsecondary 

institutions. The evaluation being 

conducted by the Urban Institute 

focuses on the implementation of 

ADVANCE projects at institutions 

throughout the nation. The three major 

funding components—institutional 

transformation, leadership, and 

partnership awards—as well as all 

cohorts funded that completed their 

funding cycles will be included. The 

study will rely on a thorough review of 

project documents, telephone 

interviews with all grantees, and 

detailed case studies at selected sites. 

The goal of the evaluation will be to 

identify models of implementation and, 

depending on outcomes by model, 

conduct case studies at selected 

institutions to understand how 

ADVANCE models operate and may be 

effective in differing settings. 

Respondents: Faculty and staff at 

institutions of higher education 

awarded an ADVANCE grant from NSF. 

Estimated Number of Annual 

Respondents: 200 (total). 

Burden on the Public: 200 hours. 

Dated: May 13, 2009.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[NRC–2008–0122] 

NUREG/CR–XXXX, Criteria for 

Development of Evacuation Time 

Estimate Studies, Draft Report for 

Comment 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission.

ACTION: Announcement of issuance for 

public comment, availability. 

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) has issued for public 

comment a document entitled: NUREG/ 

CR–XXXX, ‘‘Criteria for Development of 

Evacuation Time Estimate Studies.’’ The 

Evacuation Time Estimate (ETE) is a 

calculation of the time to evacuate the 

plume exposure pathway emergency 

planning zone (EPZ), an area with a 

radius of about 10 miles around a 

nuclear power plant (NPP). The ETE is 

primarily used to inform protective 

action decisions during NPP 

radiological emergencies and may be 

used to assist in the development of 

traffic management plans to support an 

evacuation. This document is an 

acceptable template for use by NPP 

licensees to meet NRC requirements for 

the development of ETE studies. It also 

provides guidance for the update and 

review of ETEs. The format and criteria 

provided in this document will support 

consistent application of ETE 

methodology and will facilitate 

consistent NRC review of ETE studies. 

DATES: Comments must be filed no later 

than 75 days from the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. Comments received after this 

date will be considered, if it is practical 

to do so, but the NRC staff is able to 

ensure consideration only for comments 

received on or before this date. 

ADDRESSES: NUREG/CR–XXXX, 

‘‘Criteria for Development of Evacuation 

Time Estimate Studies,’’ is available for 

inspection and copying for a fee at the 

NRC Public Document Room, Public 

File Area O1–F21, 11555 Rockville Pike, 

Rockville, Maryland. Publicly available

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NUREG/ 

CR–XXXX, ‘‘Criteria for Development of 

Evacuation Time Estimate Studies,’’ 

supersedes previous NRC guidance 

concerning the development of ETE 

studies. This document provides 

guidance for addressing new emergency 

planning (EP) requirements for nuclear 

power plants based on proposed 

changes to EP regulations in Title 10, 

‘‘Energy,’’ Part 50, ‘‘Domestic Licensing 

of Production and Utilization 

Facilities,’’ of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR Part 50), 

specifically Section 50.47, ‘‘Emergency 

Plans,’’ and Appendix E, ‘‘Emergency 

Planning and Preparedness for 

Production and Utilization Facilities’’ 

(reference RIN 3150–AI10). 

NRC is issuing guidance for the 

development of ETEs that requires 

licensees to analyze several scenarios 

including all directions and distances 

within the EPZ, across time of day, day 

of week, adverse and normal weather 

conditions and peak population special 

events. NRC is seeking comment from 

offsite response organizations as to the 

type of scenarios to be developed to 

adequately support offsite protective 

action decision-making and evacuation 

planning efforts. 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 6th day 

of May 2009. 

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Deputy Director for Emergency Preparedness,

Commission.

Availability of Draft Regulatory Guide,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is issuing for public 

comment a draft regulatory guide in the 

agency’s ‘‘Regulatory Guide’’ series. 

This series was developed to describe 

and make available to the public such 

information as methods that are 

acceptable to the NRC staff for 

implementing specific parts of the 

NRC’s regulations, techniques that the 

staff uses in evaluating specific 

problems or postulated accidents, and 

data that the staff needs in its review of 

applications for permits and licenses. 

The draft regulatory guide (DG), titled, 

‘‘Guidance on Making Changes to 

Emergency Response Plans for Nuclear 

Power Reactors,’’ is temporarily 

identified by its task number, DG–1237, 

which should be mentioned in all 

related correspondence. This is a new 

guide. 

The NRC staff’s objectives for Title 10, 

section 50.54(q), of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR 50.54(q)) are to 

ensure that licensees (1) Follow and 

maintain the effectiveness of their 

approved emergency plans, (2) evaluate 

proposed changes to these plans for 

their impact on the effectiveness of the 

plans, and (3) obtain prior NRC 

approval for changes that would reduce 

the effectiveness of the plans. These 

actions are essential if these plans are to 

continue to provide reasonable 

assurance that adequate protective 

measures can and will be taken in the 

event of a radiological emergency. The 

NRC is proposing changes to 10 CFR 

50.54(q) based on lessons learned from 

operating experience and at the 

direction of the Commission. The 

purpose of this draft guide is to provide 

guidance on the implementation of 

proposed revision of 10 CFR 50.54(q) 

with respect to making changes to 

emergency response plans. The
