Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards Meeting of the ACRS Subcommittee on Reliability and Probabilistic Risk Assesment; Notice of Meeting, 7273-7274 [E9-3160]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 29 / Friday, February 13, 2009 / Notices procedures and materials for cold shutdown components, thus, the probability of postulated accidents is not increased. Also based on the above the consequences of postulated accidents are not increased. Therefore, there is no undue risk to public health and safety (since risk is probability x consequences). Consistent With Common Defense and Security The proposed exemption would allow FCS, Unit No. 1, to not meet the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R, Section III.G.1.b for certain specified areas; thus, procedures and materials for the repair of redundant cold shutdown components within 72 hours in those areas would not be needed. This change to the operation of the plant has no relation to security issues. Therefore, the common defense and security is not impacted by this exemption. cprice-sewell on PRODPC61 with NOTICES Special Circumstances Special circumstances, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(ii), are present whenever application of the regulation in the particular circumstances is not necessary to achieve the underlying purpose of the rule. Part of the underlying purpose of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R, Section III.G, is to assure safe shutdown capability. OPPD states that, in the unlikely event all raw water pumps are lost for any reason, OPPD maintains an AOP for loss of the raw water system. If all raw water pumps are lost, due to any condition, the AOP directs the operators to trip the reactor and enter EOPs based on observed plant condition. Since these procedures help to assure safe shutdown capability, strict application of the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R, Section III.G.1.b, is not necessary to achieve the underlying purpose of the rule and the special circumstances required by 10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(ii) for the granting of an exemption exist. 4.0 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 OPPD an exemption from the requirements of Section III.G.1.b of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R, which is required by 10 CFR 50.48(b) for plants that were licensed to operate before January 1, 1979, to FCS, Unit No. 1. VerDate Nov<24>2008 15:38 Feb 12, 2009 Jkt 217001 Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.32, the Commission has determined that the granting of this exemption will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment (73 FR 80441; December 31, 2008). This exemption is effective upon issuance. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 6th day of February 2009. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Joseph G. Giitter, Director, Division of Operating Reactor Licensing, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. [FR Doc.

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed information collections are necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information has practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the RRB’s estimate of the burden for 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 for Survivor Death Benefits; OMB 3220–0031 Under Section 6 of the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA), lump-sum death benefits are payable to surviving widow and widowers, children and certain other dependents. Lump-sum death benefits are payable after the death of a railroad employee only if there are no qualified survivors of the employee immediately eligible for annuities. With the exception of the residual death benefit, eligibility for survivor benefits depends on whether the employee was ‘‘insured’’ under the RRA at the time of death. If a deceased employee was not so insured, jurisdiction of any survivor benefits payable is transferred to the Social Security Administration and survivor benefits are paid by that agency instead of the RRB. The collection obtains the information required by the RRB to determine entitlement to and amount of the survivor death benefits applied for. The RRB currently utilizes Form(s) AA–11a (Designation for Change of Beneficiary for Residual Lump-Sum), AA–21cert, (Application Summary and Certification), AA–21 (Application for Lump-Sum Death Payment and Annuities Unpaid at Death), G–131 (Authorization of Payment and Release of All Claims to a Death Benefit or Accrued Annuity Payment), and G–273a (Funeral Director’s Statement of Burial Charges), to obtain the necessary information. One response is requested of each respondent. Completion is required to obtain benefits. The RRB proposes no changes to any of the forms in the information collection.
