required by 10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(ii) and
50.12(a)(2)(v) for the granting of an
exemption from 10 CFR 50.71(e)(3)(iii)
exist.
Consistent With Common Defense and
Security
The requested exemption would
allow DEP to submit the next FSAR
update prior to requesting the NRC to
resume the review and, in any event, on
or before December 31, 2019. This
schedule change has no relation to
security issues. Therefore, the common
defense and security is not impacted.

the probability, nor the consequences of
postulated accidents are increased.
Therefore, there is no undue risk to
public health and safety.
Eligibility for Categorical Exclusion
From Environmental Review
Special Circumstances
Special circumstances, in accordance
with 10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(ii) are present
whenever: (1) Application of the
regulation in the particular
circumstances would not serve the
underlying purpose of the rule or is not
necessary to achieve the underlying
purpose of the rule (10 CFR
50.12(a)(2)(ii)). The underlying purpose
of 10 CFR 50.71(e)(3)(iii) is to ensure
that the NRC has the most up-to date
information in order to perform its
review of a COL application efficiently
and effectively. Because the requirement
to annually update the FSAR was
intended for active reviews and the
Harris Units 2 and 3 COL application
review is now suspended, the
application of this regulation in this
particular circumstance is unnecessary
in order to achieve its underlying
purpose. If the NRC were to grant this
exemption, and DEP was then required
to update its FSAR by December 31,
2019, or prior to any request to restart
of their review, the purpose of the rule
would still be achieved.
Special circumstances in accordance
with 10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(v) are present
whenever the exemption would provide
only temporary relief from the
regulation and the applicant has made
good faith efforts to comply with this
regulation. Because of the assumed and
imposed new deadline of December 31,
2016, DEP’s exemption request seeks
only temporary relief from the
requirement that it file an update to the
FSAR included in the Harris Units 2
and 3 COL application. Additionally
DEP submitted the required annual
updates to its FSAR throughout the
application process until asking for
suspension of its review.
Therefore, since the relief from the
requirements of 10 CFR 50.71(e)(3)(iii)
would be temporary and the applicant
has made good faith efforts to comply
with the rule, and the underlying
purpose of the rule is not served by
application of the rule in this
circumstance, the special circumstances
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
With respect to the exemption’s
impact on the quality of the human
environment, the NRC has determined
that this specific exemption request is
eligible for categorical exclusion as
identified in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)
provided that:
(i) There is no significant hazards
consideration;
The criteria for determining whether
there is no significant hazards
consideration are found in 10 CFR
50.92. The proposed action involves
only a schedule change regarding the
submission of an update to the
application for which the licensing
review has been suspended. Therefore,
there is no significant hazards
consideration because granting the
proposed exemption would not:
(1) Involve a significant increase in
the probability or consequences of an
accident previously evaluated; or
(2) Create the possibility of a new or
different kind of accident from any
accident previously evaluated; or
(3) Involve a significant reduction in
a margin of safety.
(ii) There is no significant change in
the types or significant increase in the
amounts of any effluents that may be
released offsite;
The proposed action involves only a
schedule change which is
administrative in nature, and does not
involve any changes to be made in the
types or significant increase in the
amounts of effluents that may be
released offsite.
(iii) There is no significant increase in
individual or cumulative public or
occupational radiation exposure;
Since the proposed action involves
only a schedule change which is
administrative in nature, it does not
contribute to any significant increase in
occupational or public radiation
exposure.
(iv) There is no significant
construction impact;
The proposed action involves only a
schedule change which is
administrative in nature; the application
review is suspended until further
notice, and there is no consideration of
any construction at this time, and hence
the proposed action does not involve
any construction impact.
(v) There is no significant increase in
the potential for or consequences from
radiological accidents;
PO 00000
Frm 00092
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

The proposed action involves only a
schedule change which is
administrative in nature, and does not
impact the probability or consequences
of accidents.
(vi) The requirements from which an
exemption is sought involve:
(B) Reporting requirements;
The exemption request involves
submitting an updated FSAR by DEP;
and
(G) Scheduling requirements;
The proposed exemption relates to the
schedule for submitting FSAR updates
to the NRC.
IV. Conclusion
Accordingly, the Commission has
determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR
50.12(a), the exemption is authorized by
law, will not present an undue risk to
the public health and safety, and is
consistent with the common defense
and security. Also special circumstances
are present. Therefore, the Commission
hereby grants DEP a one-time exemption
from the requirements of 10 CFR
50.71(e)(3)(iii) pertaining to the Harris
Units 2 and 3 COL application to allow
submittal of the next FSAR update prior
to any request to the NRC to resume the
review, and in any event no later than
December 31, 2019.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22, the
Commission has determined that the
exemption request meets the applicable
categorical exclusion criteria set forth in
10 CFR 51.22(c)(25), and the granting of
this exemption will not have a
significant effect on the quality of the
human environment.
This exemption is effective upon
issuance.

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
which provides opportunity for public
comment on new or revised data
collections, the Railroad Retirement
Board (RRB) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed data collections.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed information collection is
necessary for the proper performance of

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 11 / Wednesday, January 18, 2017 / Notices
during a registration period (normally a
period of 14 days).
Section 12 of the RUIA provides that
the RRB establish, maintain and operate
free employment facilities directed
toward the reemployment of railroad
employees. The procedures for applying
for the unemployment benefits and
employment service and for registering
and claiming the benefits are prescribed
in 20 CFR 325. 20 CFR 321 provides for
applying and filing claims for
unemployment benefits electronically.
The RRB utilizes the following forms
to collect the information necessary to
pay unemployment benefits. Form UI–1
(or its Internet equivalent, Form UI–1
(Internet)), Application for
Unemployment Benefits and
Employment Service, is completed by a
claimant for unemployment benefits
once in a benefit year, at the time of first
the functions of the agency, including
whether the information has practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the RRB’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
of the information; (c) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden related to
the collection of information on
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
1. Title and purpose of information
collection: Application and Claim for
Unemployment Benefits and
Employment Service; OMB 3220–0022.
Section 2 of the Railroad
Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA),
provides unemployment benefits for
qualified railroad employees. These
benefits are generally payable for each
day of unemployment in excess of four
registration. Completion of Form UI–1
or UI–1 (Internet) also registers an
unemployment claimant for the RRB’s
employment service.
The RRB also utilizes Form UI–3 (or
its Internet equivalent Form UI–3
(Internet)), Claim for Unemployment
Benefits, for use in claiming
unemployment benefits for days of
unemployment in a particular
registration period, normally a period of
14 days.
Completion of Forms UI–1, UI–
1(Internet), UI–3, and UI–3 (Internet) is
required to obtain or retain benefits. The
number of responses required of each
claimant varies, depending on their
period of unemployment. The RRB
proposes no changes to the forms in this
information collection.

2. Title and purpose of information
collection: Public Service Pension
Questionnaires; OMB 3220–0136.
Public Law 95–216 amended the
Social Security Act of 1977 by
providing, in part, that spouse or
survivor benefits may be reduced when
the beneficiary is in receipt of a pension
based on employment with a Federal,
State, or local governmental unit.
Initially, the reduction was equal to the
full amount of the government pension.
Public Law 98–21 changed the
reduction to two-thirds of the amount of
the government pension.
Public Law 108–203 amended the
Social Security Act by changing the
requirement for exemption to a public
service offset, so that Federal Insurance
Contributions Act (FICA) taxes are
deducted from the public service wages
for the last 60 months of public service
employment, rather than just the last
day of public service employment.
Sections 4(a)(1) and 4(f)(1) of the
Railroad Retirement Act (RRA) provides
that a spouse or survivor annuity should
be equal in amount to what the
annuitant would receive if entitled to a
like benefit from the Social Security
Administration. Therefore, the public
service pension (PSP) provisions apply
to RRA annuities. RRB regulations
pertaining to the collection of evidence
relating to public service pensions or
worker’s compensation paid to spouse
or survivor applicants or annuitants are
prescribed in 20 CFR 219.64c.
The RRB utilizes Form G–208, Public
Service Pension Questionnaire, and
Form G–212, Public Service Monitoring
Questionnaire, to obtain information
used to determine whether an annuity
reduction is in order. Completion of the
forms is voluntary. However, failure to
complete the forms could result in the
nonpayment of benefits. One response is
requested of each respondent. The RRB
proposes no changes to the forms in the
collection.

RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD
Proposed Collection; Comment Request
Summary: In accordance with the requirement of Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 which provides
opportunity for public comment on new or revised data collections, the
Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) will publish periodic summaries of
proposed data collections.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed information
collection is necessary for the proper performance of
[[Page 5614]]
the functions of the agency, including whether the information has
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the RRB's estimate of the burden
of the collection of the information; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways
to minimize the burden related to the collection of information on
respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
1. Title and purpose of information collection: Application and
Claim for Unemployment Benefits and Employment Service; OMB 3220-0022.
Section 2 of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA),
provides unemployment benefits for qualified railroad employees. These
benefits are generally payable for each day of unemployment in excess
of four during a registration period (normally a period of 14 days).
Section 12 of the RUIA provides that the RRB establish, maintain
and operate free employment facilities directed toward the reemployment
of railroad employees. The procedures for applying for the unemployment
benefits and employment service and for registering and claiming the
benefits are prescribed in 20 CFR 325. 20 CFR 321 provides for applying
and filing claims for unemployment benefits electronically.
The RRB utilizes the following forms to collect the information
necessary to pay unemployment benefits. Form UI-1 (or its Internet
equivalent, Form UI-1 (Internet)), Application for Unemployment
Benefits and Employment Service, is completed by a claimant for
unemployment benefits once in a benefit year, at the time of first
registration. Completion of Form UI-1 or UI-1 (Internet) also registers
an unemployment claimant for the RRB's employment service.
The RRB also utilizes Form UI-3 (or its Internet equivalent Form
UI-3 (Internet)), Claim for Unemployment Benefits, for use in claiming
unemployment benefits for days of unemployment in a particular
registration period, normally a period of 14 days.
Completion of Forms UI-1, UI-1(Internet), UI-3, and UI-3 (Internet)
is required to obtain or retain benefits. The number of responses
required of each claimant varies, depending on their period of
unemployment. The RRB proposes no changes to the forms in this
information collection.

3. Title and purpose of information collection: Report of Medicaid
State Office on Beneficiary's Buy-In Status; OMB 3220-0185.
Under Section 7(d) of the Railroad Retirement Act, the RRB
administers the Medicare program for persons covered by the railroad
retirement system. Under Section 1843 of the Social Security Act,
states may enter into ``buy-in agreements'' with the Secretary of
Health and Human Services for the purpose of enrolling certain groups
of low-income individuals under the
[[Page 5615]]
Medicare medical insurance (Part B) program and paying the premiums for
their insurance coverage. Generally, these individuals are
categorically needy under Medicaid and meet the eligibility
requirements for Medicare Part B. States can also include in their buy-
in agreements, individuals who are eligible for medical assistance
only. The RRB utilizes Form RL-380-F, Report of Medicaid State Office
on Beneficiary's Buy-In Status, to obtain information needed to
determine if certain railroad beneficiaries are entitled to receive
Supplementary Medical Insurance program coverage under a state buy-in
agreement in the states in which they reside. Completion of Form RL-
380-F is voluntary. One response is received from each respondent. The
RRB proposes no changes to Form RL-380-F.
