Grantee Reporting Requirements for Partnerships for
Research and Education in Materials (PREM). OMB Number:
3145-0232.
Type of Request:
Intent to seek approval to renew an information
collection.
Overview of this Information Collection:
The Partnerships for Research and Education in Materials (PREM) aims to enhance diversity in
materials research and education by
stimulating the development of formal, long-term, collaborative research and
education relationships between
minority-serving colleges and
universities and centers, institutes and
facilities supported by the NSF Division
of Materials Research (DMR). With this
collaborative model PREMs build
intellectual and physical infrastructure
within and between disciplines, weaving together knowledge creation, knowledge integration, and knowledge
transfer. PREMs conduct world-class research through partnerships of
academic institutions, national
laboratories, industrial organizations, and/or other public/private entities.
New knowledge thus created is
meaningfully linked to society, with an
emphasis on enhancing diversity.
PREMs enable and foster excellent education, integrate research and
education, and create bonds between
learning and inquiry so that discovery
and creativity more fully support the
learning process. PREMs capitalize on
diversity through participation and
collaboration in center activities and
demonstrate leadership in the
involvement of groups
underrepresented in science and
engineering.
PREMs will be required to submit annual reports on progress and plans, which will be used as a basis for
performance review and determining
the level of continued funding. To
support this review and the
management of the award PREMs will
be required to develop a set of
management and performance
indicators for submission annually to
NSF via the Research Performance
Project Reporting module in
Research.gov. These indicators are both quantitative and descriptive and may include, for example, the characteristics
of personnel and students; sources of
financial support and in-kind support;
expenditures by operational component;
research activities; education activities;
patents, licenses; publications; degrees
granted to students involved in PREM
activities; descriptions of significant
advances and other outcomes of the
PREM effort.
Each PREM's annual report will include the following categories of
activities: (1) Research, (2) education (3)
outreach, (4) partnerships, (5) diversity, (6) management, and (7) budget issues.
For each of the categories the report will describe overall objectives for the
year, problems the PREM has
encountered in making progress towards
goals, anticipated problems in the
following year, and specific outputs and
outcomes.
PREMs are required to file a final report through the RPPR and external
technical assistance contractor. Final
reports contain similar information and
metrics as annual reports but are
retrospective.
Use of the Information:
NSF will use the information to continue funding of
PREMs, and to evaluate the progress of
the program.
Estimate of Burden:
50 hours5.787037e-4 days <br />0.0139 hours <br />8.267196e-5 weeks <br />1.9025e-5 months <br /> per PREM for 15 PREMs for a total of 750
hours. Respondents:
Non-profit institutions.
Estimated Number of Responses per Report: One from each of the fifteen PREMs. Dated: July 23, 2019.

BILLING CODE 7555-01-P NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[NRC-2019-0154]
Release of Patients Administered
Radioactive Material AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Draft regulatory guide; request for comment.
SUMMARY
- The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing for public
comment draft regulatory guide (DG),
DG-8057, Release of Patients
Administered Radioactive Material.
This proposed guide, Revision 1, provides licensees with more detailed
instructions to provide to patients VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:54 Jul 25, 2019Jkt 247001PO 00000Frm 00079Fmt 4703Sfmt 4703E:\FR\FM\26JYN1.SGM26JYN1 jbell on DSK3GLQ082PROD with NOTICES 36128 Federal Register/Vol. 84, No. 144/Friday, July 26, 2019/Notices before and after they have been administered radioactive material than
was in Revision 0. In addition, the guide
includes a new section on Death of a
Patient Following Radiopharmaceutical or Implants Administrations, as well as
requirements for recordkeeping. Also, Table 3, Dosages of
Radiopharmaceuticals That Require
Instructions and Records When
Administered to Patients Who Are
Breastfeeding an Infant or Child, has
been revised to provide information for
the recommended duration of
interruption of breastfeeding to ensure
that the dose to an infant or child meets
the NRC's regulatory requirements.
DATES: Submit comments by August 26, 2019. Comments received after this date
will be considered if it is practical to do
so, but the NRC is able to ensure
consideration only for comments
received on or before this date.

II. Additional Information The NRC is issuing for public comment a DG in the NRC's Regulatory
Guide series. This series was
developed to describe and make available to the public information regarding 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 issues or postulated
events, and data that the staff needs in
its review of applications for permits
and licenses.
The DG, entitled, Release of Patients Administered Radioactive Material, is
temporarily identified by its task
number, DG-8057. The DG-8057 is
proposed Revision 1 to RG 8.39 This revision of the guide (Revision 1) provides licensees with more detailed
instructions to provide to patients
before and after they have been
administered radioactive material than
was in Revision 0. In addition, the guide
includes a new section on Death of a
Patient Following Radiopharmaceutical
or Implants Administrations, as well as
additional guidance for requirements for
recordkeeping.
Also, Table 3, Dosages of Radiopharmaceuticals That Require
Instructions and Records When
Administered to Patients Who Are
Breastfeeding an Infant or Child, has
been revised to provide information for
the recommended duration of
interruption of breastfeeding to ensure
that the dose to an infant or child meet
the NRC regulatory requirements.
III. Backfitting and Issue Finality As discussed in the Implementation section of DG-8057, the NRC does not
intend or approve any imposition of the
guidance in this draft regulatory guide.
Backfitting and issue finality
considerations do not apply to licensees
or applicants when performing activities
under part 35 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Therefore, the NRC has determined that its
backfitting and issue finality regulations
would not apply to this draft regulatory
guide, if ultimately issued as Revision 1
to RG 8.39, because the draft regulatory
guide does not include any provisions within the scope of matters covered by
the backfitting provisions in 10 CFR
parts 50, 70, 72, or 76 or the issue
finality provisions of 10 CFR part 52.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 22nd day of July 2019.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Thomas H. Boyce, Chief, Regulatory Guidance and Generic Issues Branch, Division of Engineering, Office
of Nuclear Regulatory Research.
