as integrating offsite response
methodologies with onsite EP programs,
is also provided in the ISG. Once the EP
final rule is published and NRC staff
completes the ISG, the staff will issue it
for use. The NRC staff will incorporate
the updated guidance information in
NSIR/DPR–ISG–01 into future revisions
of NUREG–0654/FEMA–REP–1,
‘‘Criteria for the Preparation and
Evaluation of Radiological Emergency
Response Plans and Preparedness in
Support of Nuclear Power Plants,’’ and
other EP guidance documents.
Some NRC EP regulatory
requirements are being revised that
warrant guidance outside the scope of
the proposed ISG. The NRC staff plans
to provide additional guidance for
addressing proposed changes to Section
50.54(q) concerning emergency plan
changes in the form of a new Regulatory
Guide (RG), proposed changes to
Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50 regarding
emergency action levels for hostile
action events in a revision to RG 1.101,
‘‘Emergency Planning for Nuclear Power
Plants,’’ and proposed changes to
Section 50.47(b)(10) and Appendix E to
10 CFR Part 50 regarding updates to
evacuation time estimates in the form of
a new NUREG/CR document. The
Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) is addressing offsite EP
guidance changes in support of the
proposed EP rule and other offsite EP
program issues in a new supplement to
NUREG–0654/FEMA–REP–1, as well as
other FEMA documents. These
documents will be issued separately for
public comment prior to publishing the
EP final rule.
DATES: Comments must be filed no later
than 75 days from the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register. Comments received after this
date will be considered, if it is practical
to do so, but the NRC staff is able to
ensure consideration only for comments
received on or before this date.

Procedures for the conduct of and

October 6, 2008, (73 FR 58268–58269).
In accordance with those procedures,
oral or written views may be presented
by members of the public, including
representatives of the nuclear industry.
Electronic recordings will be permitted
only during the open portions of the
meeting. Persons desiring to make oral
statements should notify the Cognizant
ACRS staff named below five days
before the meeting, if possible, so that
appropriate arrangements can be made
to allow necessary time during the
meeting for such statements. Use of still,
motion picture, and television cameras
during the meeting may be limited to
selected portions of the meeting as
determined by the Chairman.
Information regarding the time to be set
aside for this purpose may be obtained
by contacting the Cognizant ACRS staff
prior to the meeting. In view of the
PO 00000

possibility that the schedule for ACRS
meetings may be adjusted by the
Chairman as necessary to facilitate the
conduct of the meeting, persons
planning to attend should check with
the Cognizant ACRS staff if such
rescheduling would result in major
inconvenience.
In accordance with Subsection 10(d)
Public Law 92–463, I have determined
that it may be necessary to close a
portion of this meeting noted above to
discuss organizational and personnel
matters that relate solely to internal
personnel rules and practices of ACRS,
and information the release of which
constitute a clearly unwarranted
invasion of personal privacy pursuant to
5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(2) and (6). In addition
it may be necessary to close portion of
the meeting to protect information
designated as proprietary by Global
Nuclear Fuel and/or Westinghouse or
their contractors pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
552b(c)(4).
Further information regarding topics
to be discussed, whether the meeting
has been canceled or rescheduled, as
well as the Chairman’s ruling on

SUMMARY: In accordance with the

announces that the Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) has submitted to
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) a request for clearance of a
revised information collection. This
information collection, ‘‘Financial
Resources Questionnaire’’ (OMB Control
No. 3206–0167; Forms RI 34–1 and RI
34–17), collects detailed financial
information for use by OPM to
determine whether to agree to a waiver,
compromise, or adjustment of the
collection of erroneous payments from
the Civil Service Retirement and
Disability Fund. ‘‘Notice of Amount Due
Because Of Annuity Overpayment’’
(OMB Control No. 3206–0167; forms RI
34–3 and RI 34–19), informs the
annuitant about the overpayment and
collects information from the annuitant
about how repayment will be made.
Approximately 450 RI 34–1 and 70 RI
34–17 forms are completed annually.
Approximately 1,351 RI 34–3 and 210
RI 34–19 forms are completed annually.
Each form takes approximately 60
minutes to complete. The annual
estimated burden is 450 hours (RI 34–
1), 70 hours (RI 34–17), 1,351 hours (RI
34–3) and 210 hours (RI 34–19)
respectively. The total annual estimated
burden is 2,081 hours.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub.
L. 104–13, May 22, 1995), this notice
announces that the Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) intends to submit to
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) a request for review of a revised
information collection. This information
collection, ‘‘Annuitant’s Report of
Earned Income’’ (OMB Control No.
3206–0034; RI 30–2), is used annually to
determine if disability retirees under age
60 have earned income which will
result in the termination of their annuity
benefits.
Comments are particularly invited on:
Whether this collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of functions of the Office of Personnel
Management, and whether it will have
practical utility; whether our estimate of
the public burden of this collection of
information is accurate, and based on
valid assumptions and methodology;
and ways in which we can minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, through
the use of appropriate technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
PO 00000
We estimate 21,000 RI 30–2 forms are
completed annually. The RI 30–2 takes
approximately 35 minutes to complete
for an estimated annual burden of
12,250 hours. For copies of this
proposal, contact Cyrus S. Benson on

Procedures for the conduct of and participation in ACRS meetings
were published in the Federal Register on October 6, 2008, (73 FR
58268-58269). In accordance with those procedures, oral or written
views may be presented by members of the public, including
representatives of the nuclear industry. Electronic recordings will be
permitted only during the open portions of the meeting. Persons
desiring to make oral statements should notify the Cognizant ACRS staff
named below five days before the meeting, if possible, so that
appropriate arrangements can be made to allow necessary time during the
meeting for such statements. Use of still, motion picture, and
television cameras during the meeting may be limited to selected
portions of the meeting as determined by the Chairman. Information
regarding the time to be set aside for this purpose may be obtained by
contacting the Cognizant ACRS staff prior to the meeting. In view of
the possibility that the schedule for ACRS meetings may be adjusted by
the Chairman as necessary to facilitate the conduct of the meeting,
persons planning to attend should check with the Cognizant ACRS staff
if such rescheduling would result in major inconvenience.
In accordance with Subsection 10(d) Public Law 92-463, I have
determined that it may be necessary to close a portion of this meeting
noted above to discuss organizational and personnel matters that relate
solely to internal personnel rules and practices of ACRS, and
information the release of which constitute a clearly unwarranted
invasion of personal privacy pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(2) and (6).
In addition it may be necessary to close portion of the meeting to
protect information designated as proprietary by Global Nuclear Fuel
and/or Westinghouse or their contractors pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
552b(c)(4).
Further information regarding topics to be discussed, whether the
meeting has been canceled or rescheduled, as well as the Chairman's
ruling on requests for the opportunity to present oral statements and
the time allotted therefor can be obtained by contacting Girija Shukla,
Cognizant ACRS staff (301-415-6855), between 7:15 a.m. and 5 p.m. (ET).
