equal status with science in the Organic
Act. NSF has always dedicated itself to
providing the leadership and vision
needed to keep the words and ideas
embedded in its mission statement fresh
and up-to-date. Even in today’s rapidly
changing environment, NSF’s core
purpose resonates clearly in everything
it does: Promoting achievement and
progress in science and engineering and
enhancing the potential for research and
education to contribute to the Nation.
While NSF’s vision of the future and the
mechanisms it uses to carry out its
charges have evolved significantly over
the last four decades, its ultimate
mission remains the same.
Use of the Information: The regular
submission of proposals to the
Foundation is part of the collection of
information and is used to help NSF
fulfill this responsibility by initiating
and supporting merit-selected research
and education projects in all the
scientific and engineering disciplines.
NSF receives more than 40,000
proposals annually for new projects,
and makes approximately 10,500 new
awards. Support is made primarily
through grants, contracts, and other
agreements awarded to more than 2,000
colleges, universities, academic
consortia, nonprofit institutions, and
small businesses. The awards are based
mainly on evaluations of proposal merit
submitted to the Foundation (proposal
review is cleared under OMB Control
No. 3145–0060).
The Foundation has a continuing
commitment to monitor the operations
of its information collection to identify
and address excessive reporting burdens
as well as to identify any real or
apparent inequities based on gender,
race, ethnicity, or disability of the
proposed principal investigator(s)/
project director(s) or the co-principal
investigator(s)/co-project director(s).
Burden on the Public: The Foundation
estimates that an average of 120 hours
is expended for each proposal
submitted. An estimated 40,000
proposals are expected during the
course of one year for a total of
4,800,000 public burden hours
annually.
Dated: February 23, 2010.

Foundation.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
[NRC–2010–0072]

Draft Regulatory Guide: Issuance,
Availability
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory
Commission.
ACTION: Notice of Issuance and
Availability of Draft Regulatory Guide,
DG–3040, ‘‘Design, Construction, and
Inspection of Embankment Retention
Systems at Fuel Cycle Facilities.’’
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Tyrone Naquin, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, Washington, DC 20555–
0001, telephone: (301) 492–3187 or email [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is issuing for public
comment a draft 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) is
temporarily identified by its task
number, DG–3040, which should be
mentioned in all related
correspondence. DG–3040 is proposed
Revision 1 of Regulatory Guide 3.13,
dated October 1973.
This guide describes some
engineering practices and methods
generally considered by the NRC to be
satisfactory for the design, construction,
and inspection of embankment retention
systems used for retaining solid and
liquid effluent from nuclear fuel cycle
facility operations other than mining
and milling. These practices and
methods are the result of NRC review
and action on a number of specific
cases, and they reflect the latest general
engineering approaches that are
acceptable to the NRC staff. If future
information results in alternative
methods, the NRC staff will review such
methods to determine their
acceptability.
II. Further Information
The NRC staff is soliciting comments
on DG–3040. Comments may be
accompanied by relevant information or
supporting data and should mention
DG–3040 in the subject line. Comments
submitted in writing or in electronic
form will be made available to the
public in their entirety through the
NRC’s Agencywide Documents Access
and Management System (ADAMS).
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
by any one of the following methods.
Please include Docket ID NRC–2010–
0072 in the subject line of your
comments. Comments submitted in
writing or in electronic form will be
posted on the NRC Web site and on the
Federal rulemaking Web site
Regulations.gov. Because your
comments will not be edited to remove
any identifying or contact information,
the NRC cautions you against including
any information in your submission that
you do not want to be publicly
disclosed.
The NRC requests that any party
soliciting or aggregating comments
received from other persons for
submission to the NRC inform those
persons that the NRC will not edit their
comments to remove any identifying or
contact information, and therefore, they
should not include any information in
their comments that they do not want
publicly disclosed.
