DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment Standards Administration
Proposed Extension of the Approval of
Information Collection Requirements
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of
information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This
program helps to ensure that requested
data can be provided in the desired
format, reporting burden (time and
financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. Currently, the
Employment Standards Administration
is soliciting comments concerning the
proposal to extend OMB approval of the
information collection: Certified
Payrolls Under The Davis-Bacon and
Related Acts (WH–347). A copy of the
proposed information collection request
can be obtained by contacting the office
listed below in the addresses section of
this Notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
addresses section below on or before
December 1, 2008.
ADDRESSES: Ms. Hazel M. Bell, U.S.
Department of Labor, 200 Constitution
Ave., NW., Room S–3201, Washington,
DC 20210, telephone (202) 693–0418,
fax (202) 693–1451, E-mail

method of transmission for comments
(mail, fax, or e-mail).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: The Copeland Act
requires contractors and subcontractors
performing work on federally financed
or assisted construction contracts to
furnish weekly a statement with respect
to the wages paid each employee during
the preceding week. See 29 U.S.C. 3145
and 29 CFR 3.3(b). Regulations 29 CFR
5.5(a)(3)(ii)(A) requires contractors to
submit weekly a copy of all payrolls to
the Federal agency contracting for or
financing the construction project. A
signed ‘‘Statement of Compliance’’
indicating the payrolls are correct and
complete and that each laborer or
mechanic has been paid not less than
the proper Davis-Bacon Act (DBA)
prevailing wage rate for the work
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001
performed must accompany the payroll.
See id. 5.5(a)(3)(ii)(B). Regulations 29
CFR 3.3(b) requires each contractor to
furnish such weekly ‘‘Statements of
Compliance.’’ See also 29 CFR
5.5(a)(3)(ii)(B). Regulations 29 CFR
3.4(b) and 5.5(a)(3)(i) require contractors
to maintain these records for three years
after completion of the work. Regulation
29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(i) requires contractors
performing work on projects subject to
the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts
(DBRA) to retain the name, address,
social security number, correct
classifications, hourly rates of wages
paid including rates of contributions or
costs anticipated for bona fide fringe
benefits or cash equivalents thereof of
the types described in DBA section
1(b)(2)(B), daily and weekly number of
hours worked, and deductions made
and actual wages paid of each worker on
the contract. The DOL has developed
the optional use Form WH–347, Payroll
Form, which contractors may use to
meet the payroll reporting requirements.
The form contains the basic payroll
information that contractors must
furnish each week they perform any
work subject to the DBRA. This
information collection is currently
approved for use through April 30,
2009.
II. Review Focus: The Department of
Labor is particularly interested in
comments which:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
III. Current Actions: The DOL seeks
approval for the extension of this
currently approved information
collection in order to carry out its
responsibility to determine a
contractor’s compliance with provisions
of the DBRA and the Copeland Act.
Type of Review: Extension.
Agency: Employment Standards
Administration.

[Docket No. 50–305]

Notice of Acceptance for Docketing of
the Application and Notice of
Opportunity for Hearing Regarding
Renewal of Facility Operating License
No. DPR–43 for an Additional 20-Year
Period; Dominion Energy Kewaunee,
Inc.; Kewaunee Power Station
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC or the Commission)
is considering an application for the
renewal of operating license DPR–43,
which authorizes Dominion Energy
Kewaunee, Inc. (DEK), to operate the
Kewaunee Power Station (KPS), at 1772
megawatts thermal. The renewed
license would authorize the applicant to
operate KPS for an additional 20 years
beyond the period specified in the
current license. KPS is located near
Kewaunee, WI, and its current operating
license expires on December 21, 2013.
DEK submitted the application dated
August 14, 2008, pursuant to Title 10,
Part 54, of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR Part 54), to renew
operating license DPR–43 for KPS. A
notice of receipt and availability of the
license renewal application (LRA) was
published in the Federal Register on
August 29, 2008 (73 FR 51023).
The Commission’s staff has
determined that DEK has submitted
sufficient information in accordance
with 10 CFR Sections 54.19, 54.21,
54.22, 54.23, 51.45, and 51.53(c), to
enable the staff to undertake a review of
the application, and the application is
therefore acceptable for docketing. The
current Docket No. 50–305, for
operating license DPR–43, will be
retained. The determination to accept
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001
the license renewal application for
docketing does not constitute a
determination that a renewed license
should be issued, and does not preclude
the NRC staff from requesting additional
information as the review proceeds.
Before issuance of the requested
renewed license, the NRC will have
made the findings required by the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (the Act), as
amended, and the Commission’s rules
and regulations. In accordance with 10
CFR 54.29, the NRC may issue a
renewed license on the basis of its
review if it finds that actions have been
identified and have been or will be
taken with respect to: (1) Managing the
effects of aging during the period of
extended operation on the functionality
of structures and components that have
been identified as requiring aging
management review; and (2) timelimited aging analyses that have been
identified as requiring review, such that
there is reasonable assurance that the
activities authorized by the renewed
license will continue to be conducted in
accordance with the current licensing
basis (CLB), and that any changes made
to the plant’s CLB will comply with the
Act and the Commission’s regulations.
Additionally, in accordance with 10
CFR 51.95(c), the NRC will prepare an
environmental impact statement that is
a supplement to the Commission’s
NUREG–1437, ‘‘Generic Environmental
Impact Statement for License Renewal
of Nuclear Power Plants,’’ dated May
1996. In considering the LRA, the
Commission must find that the
applicable requirements of Subpart A of
10 CFR Part 51 have been satisfied, and
that matters raised under 10 CFR 2.335
have been addressed. Pursuant to 10
CFR 51.26, and as part of the
environmental scoping process, the staff
intends to hold a public scoping
meeting. Detailed information regarding
the environmental scoping meeting will
be the subject of a separate Federal
Register notice.
Within 60 days after the date of
publication of this Federal Register
notice, any person whose interest may
be affected by this proceeding and who
wishes to participate as a party in the
proceeding must file a written request
for a hearing and a petition for leave to
intervene with respect to the renewal of
the license. Requests for a hearing or
petitions for leave to intervene must be
filed in accordance with the
Commission’s ‘‘Rules of Practice for
Domestic Licensing Proceedings and
Issuance of Orders’’ in 10 CFR Part 2.
Interested persons should consult a
current copy of 10 CFR 2.309, which is

Document Room (PDR), located at One

for a hearing/petition for leave to
intervene is filed within the 60-day
period, the Commission or a presiding
officer designated by the Commission or
by the Chief Administrative Judge of the
Atomic Safety and Licensing Board
Panel will rule on the request and/or
petition; and the Secretary or the Chief
Administrative Judge of the Atomic
Safety and Licensing Board Panel will
issue a notice of a hearing or an
appropriate order. In the event that no
request for a hearing or petition for
leave to intervene is filed within the 60day period, the NRC may, upon
completion of its evaluations and upon
making the findings required under 10
CFR Parts 51 and 54, renew the license
without further notice.
As required by 10 CFR 2.309, a
petition for leave to intervene shall set
forth with particularity the interest of
the petitioner in the proceeding, and
how that interest may be affected by the
results of the proceeding, taking into
consideration the limited scope of
matters that may be considered
pursuant to 10 CFR Parts 51 and 54. The
petition must specifically explain the
reasons why intervention should be
permitted with particular reference to
the following factors: (1) The nature of
the requestor’s/petitioner’s right under
the Act to be made a party to the
proceeding; (2) the nature and extent of
the requestor’s/petitioner’s property,
financial, or other interest in the
proceeding; and (3) the possible effect of
any decision or order which may be
entered in the proceeding on the
requestor’s/petitioner’s interest. The
petition must also set forth the specific
contentions which the petitioner/
requestor seeks to have litigated at the
proceeding.
Each contention must consist of a
specific statement of the issue of law or
fact to be raised or controverted. In
addition, the requestor/petitioner shall
provide a brief explanation of the basis
for each contention and a concise
statement of the alleged facts or the
expert opinion that supports the
contention on which the requestor/
petitioner intends to rely in proving the
