SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The NASA-sponsored Classroom of
the Future (COTF) will conduct
numerous studies on identifying and
assessing learning and tracking flow in
video. Though the methodology in each
study may differ somewhat, the purpose
of each collection is similar. Without
basic research into assessment of
learning in games, NASA Education will
have no measurement of how much
learning occurs in the games they
develop. NASA will use this research to
inform its investment in developing
educational video games to support
increased achievement in science,
technology, engineering and
mathematics education.
II. Method of Collection
Most of the data collection will be
online using Web-based database
technologies. Many of the pre- and post-
test questions that will be asked in focus
groups and face-to-face interviews will
have responses compiled on-line to aid
research efforts. Almost all the data
collected will be acquired through
PO 00000 Frm 00075 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\21MRN1.SGM
software that tracks user skill and flow
in games.
III. Data
Title: Generic Clearance for Studies to
Assess Learning and Flow in Video
Games.
OMB Number: 2700–XXXX.
Type of Review: Emergency New
Collection.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; Business or other for profit;
or Not-for-profit institutions.
Number of Respondents: 7764.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 2608.
Annual Burden Hours: 3505.
IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of NASA, including
whether the information collected has
practical utility; (2) the accuracy of
NASA’s estimate of the burden
(including hours and cost) of the
proposed collection of information; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including automated
collection techniques or the use of other
forms of information technology.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and
included in the request for OMB
approval of this information collection.
They will also become a matter of
public record.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) is considering issuance of a
license amendment to Source Material
License No. SMA–1018, issued to the
Whittaker Corporation (the licensee), to
authorize decommissioning of its Waste
and Slag Storage Area in Transfer,
Pennsylvania as described in the
licensee’s Decommissioning Plan (DP).
The Whittaker Waste and Slag Storage
Area is located in the Reynolds
Industrial Park in Transfer,
Pennsylvania. The storage area is
approximately six acres in size and was
built up over time through the repeated
disposal of foundry slag, scrap metal,
building rubble, and debris from metal
extraction operations. The Whittaker
Corporation, as well as prior owners of
the site, used source material containing
licensable quantities of thorium and
uranium for the extraction of rare earth
metals. These operations resulted in slag
by products containing thorium and
uranium. Materials processing took
place at the site from 1966 to 1974.
The licensee has been
decommissioning the Transfer,
Pennsylvania Site in accordance with
the conditions described in License No.
SMA–1018. This has included the
excavation of the waste slag, processing
the excavated material in order to
separate the radioactive material from
the soil, and shipping the radioactive
material to a licensed disposal site. The
licensee has submitted to the NRC a DP
incorporating the dose-based criteria of
10 CFR 20, subpart E, Radiological
Criteria for License Termination, for
release of the site for unrestricted use.
An NRC administrative review,
documented in a letter to the Whittaker
Corporation dated February 14, 2007,
found the DP acceptable to begin a
technical review.
If the NRC approves the DP, the
approval will be documented in an
amendment to NRC License No. SMA–
1018. However, before approving the
proposed amendment, the NRC will
need to make the findings required by
the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as
amended, and NRC’s regulations. These
findings will be documented in a Safety
Evaluation Report and an
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
Environmental Assessment and/or an
Environmental Impact Statement. If this
amendment is approved, the license
will be terminated following completion
of decommissioning activities and
VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:08 Mar 20, 2007 Jkt 211001
verification by the NRC that the
radiological criteria for license
termination have been met.
II. Opportunity To Request a Hearing
The NRC hereby provides notice that
this is a proceeding on an application
for a license amendment regarding
decommissioning of the Whittaker
Waste and Slag Storage Area located in
Transfer, Pennsylvania. In accordance
with the general requirements in

2.309, the general requirements
involving a request for a hearing filed by
a person other than an applicant must
state:
1. The name, address, and telephone
number of the requester;
2. The nature of the requester’s right
under the Act to be made a party to the

position on the issue and on which the
requester/petitioner intends to rely to
support its position on the issue; and
6. Provide sufficient information to
show that a genuine dispute exists with
21MRN1
 13312 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 54 / Wednesday, March 21, 2007 / Notices
the applicant on a material issue of law
or fact. This information must include
references to specific portions of the
application (including the applicant’s
environmental report and safety report)
that the requester/petitioner disputes
and the supporting reasons for each
dispute, or, if the requester/petitioner
believes the application fails to contain
information on a relevant matter as
required by law, the identification of
each failure and the supporting reasons
for the requester’s/petitioner’s belief.
In addition, in accordance with 10
CFR 2.309(f)(2), contentions must be
based on documents or other
information available at the time the
petition is to be filed, such as the
application, supporting safety analysis
report, environmental report or other
supporting document filed by an
applicant or licensee, or otherwise
available to the petitioner. On issues
arising under the National
Environmental Policy Act, the
requester/petitioner shall file
contentions based on the applicant’s
environmental report. The requester/
petitioner may amend those contentions
or file new contentions if there are data
or conclusions in the NRC draft, or final
environmental impact statement,
environmental assessment, or any
supplements relating thereto, that differ
significantly from the data or
conclusions in the applicant’s
documents. Otherwise, contentions may
be amended or new contentions filed
after the initial filing only with leave of
the presiding officer.
Each contention shall be given a
separate numeric or alpha designation
within one of the following groups:
1. Technical—primarily concerns
issues relating to matters discussed or
referenced in the Safety Evaluation
Report for the proposed action.
2. Environmental—primarily concerns
issues relating to matters discussed or
referenced in the Environmental Report
for the proposed action.
3. Emergency Planning—primarily
concerns issues relating to matters
discussed or referenced in the
Emergency Plan as it relates to the
proposed action.
4. Physical Security—primarily
concerns issues relating to matters
discussed or referenced in the Physical
Security Plan as it relates to the
proposed action.
5. Miscellaneous—does not fall into
one of the categories outlined above.
If the requester/petitioner believes a
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
contention raises issues that cannot be
classified as primarily falling into one of
these categories, the requester/petitioner
must set forth the contention and
supporting bases, in full, separately for
VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:08 Mar 20, 2007 Jkt 211001
each category into which the requester/
petitioner asserts the contention belongs
with a separate designation for that
category.
Requesters/petitioners should, when
possible, consult with each other in
preparing contentions and combine
similar subject matter concerns into a
joint contention, for which one of the
co-sponsoring requesters/petitioners is
designated the lead representative.
Further, in accordance with 10 CFR
2.309(f)(3), any requester/petitioner that
wishes to adopt a contention proposed
by another requester/petitioner must do
so in writing within ten days of the date
the contention is filed, and designate a
representative who shall have the
authority to act for the requester/
petitioner.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(g),
a request for hearing and/or petition for
leave to intervene may also address the
selection of the hearing procedures,
taking into account the provisions of 10
CFR 2.310.
