Administration Department, publishes
that notice containing proposed
information collection requests prior to
submission of these requests to OMB.
Each proposed information collection
contains the following: (1) Type of

Airlines System Boards of Adjustment.

Burden Hours: 20.
Abstract: Section 183 of the Railway

the parties to the labor-management
disputes in the airline industry must
have a procedure for the resolution of
disputes involving the interpretation or
application of provisions of the
collective bargaining agreement. The
Railway Labor Act mentions system
board of adjustment or arbitration
boards as the mechanism for resolution
and is silent as to how the neutral
arbitrator is to be selected if the parties
are unable to agree on an individual.
The National Mediation Board provides
panels of arbitrators to help the parties
in their selection of an arbitrator.
This form is necessary to assist the
parties in this process. The parties
invoke the process through the
submission of this form. The brief
information is necessary for the NMB to
perform this important function.

Second, governs procedures to be
followed by carriers and representatives
of employees in the establishment and
functioning of special adjustment
boards. These special adjustment boards
are referred to as public law boards
(board). The statute provides that within
thirty (30) days from the date a written
request is made by an employee
representative or carrier official for the
establishment of a board, an agreement
establishing such board shall be made.
If, however, one party fails to designate
a member of the board, the party making
the request may ask the NMB to
designate a member on behalf of the
other party. The NMB must designate
the representative who, together with
the other party constitutes the public
board. It will be the task of these two
individuals to decide on the terms of the
agreement. If these individuals are
unable to decide upon the terms, the
Railway Labor Act provides that one of
these parties may request that the NMB
designate a neutral to resolve the
remaining matters which are procedural
issues. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1207.2,
requests for the NMB to appoint either
representatives or neutrals must be
made on printed forms which may be
secured from the NMB.
This form is necessary for the NMB to
fulfill its statutory responsibilities.
Without this information, the NMB
would not be able to assist the railroad
labor and management representatives
in resolving disputes, which is contrary
to the intent of the Railway Labor Act.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
[Docket Nos. 50–280 and 50–281]
Virginia Electric and Power Company;
Notice of Consideration of Issuance of
Amendments to Facility Operating
Licenses, Proposed No Significant
Hazards Consideration Determination,
and Opportunity for a Hearing
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (the Commission) is
considering issuance of amendments to
Facility Operating License Nos. DPR–32
and DPR–37 issued to Virginia Electric
and Power Company (the licensee) for
operation of the Surry Power Station,
Unit Nos. 1 and 2, located in Surry
County, Virginia.
The proposed amendments would
reinstate previous reactor coolant
system (RCS) pressure and temperature
(P/T) limits, low temperature
overpressure protection system (LTOPS)
setpoint, and LTOPS enable temperature
basis.
Before issuance of the proposed
license amendments, the Commission
will have made findings required by the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended
(the Act), and the Commission’s
regulations.
PO 00000
Frm 00117
Fmt 4703

The Commission has made a
proposed determination that the
requested amendments involve no
significant hazards consideration. Under
the Commission’s regulations in Title 10
of the Code of Federal Regulations (10
CFR), section 50.92, this means that
operation of the facility in accordance
with the proposed amendments 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. As required by 10 CFR
50.91(a), the licensee has provided its
analysis of the issue of no significant
hazards consideration, which is
presented below:
1. Does the change involve a significant
increase in the probability or consequences
of an accident previously evaluated?
The proposed change does not impact the
condition or performance of any plant
structure, system or component. The
proposed change does not affect the initiators
of any previously analyzed event or the
assumed mitigation of accident or transient
events since the plant will be operated in the
same manner and within the same operating
limits that are currently in place. The
proposed change merely restores the RCS
P/T limit curves and LTOPS setpoint that
were approved by the NRC prior to the issue
of License Amendments 245/244, and which
are currently in effect. As a result, the
proposed change to the Surry TS [Technical
Specifications] does not involve any increase
in the probability or the consequences of any
accident or malfunction of equipment
important to safety previously evaluated
since neither accident probabilities nor
consequences are being affected by this
proposed change.
2. Does the change create the possibility of
a new or different kind of accident from any
accident previously evaluated?
The proposed change does not involve any
changes in station operation or physical
modifications to the plant. In addition, no
changes are being made in the methods used
to respond to plant transients that have been
previously analyzed. No changes are being
made to plant parameters within which the
plant is normally operated or in the
setpoints, which initiate protective or
mitigative actions, since the plant will be
operated in the same manner and within the
same operating limits that are currently in
place. Since plant operation will not be
affected by this change, no new failure modes
are being introduced. Therefore, the
proposed change to the Surry TS does not
create the possibility of a new or different
kind of accident or malfunction of equipment
important to safety from any previously
evaluated.
3. Does the change involve a significant
reduction in the margin of safety?
The return to the previously approved RCS
P/T operating limit curves and LTOPS
