ACTION: Withdrawal of Regulatory Guide 1.16, ‘‘Reporting of Operating Information—Appendix A Technical Specifications.’’ FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carl S. Schulten, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555– 0001, telephone: 301–415–1192 or email Carl.Schulten@nrc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Introduction The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is withdrawing Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.16, ‘‘Reporting of Operating Information—Appendix A Technical Specifications.’’ Revision 4 of the Regulatory Guide was issued for comment in August 1975 and never finalized. The guide provides a description of each of the periodic reports licensees are required to submit to demonstrate compliance with the reporting requirements listed in Appendix A, ‘‘Technical Specifications Related to Health and Safety’’ of the license. Regulatory Guide 1.16 is being withdrawn because it is no longer needed. Technical specification reporting requirements for licensees are contained in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50, ‘‘Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities’’ (10 CFR Part 50) as well as other parts of 10 CFR Chapter I, ‘‘Nuclear Regulatory Commission.’’ Guidance on the content and frequency of required reports is contained in Chapter 5, ‘‘Administrative Controls,’’ of the standard technical specifications in the following NUREGs: • NUREG–1430, Volume 1, ‘‘Standard Technical Specifications, Babcock and Wilcox Plants,’’ • NUREG–1431, Volume 1, ‘‘Standard Technical Specifications, Westinghouse Plants,’’ • NUREG–1432, Volume 1, ‘‘Standard Technical Specifications, Combustion Engineering Plants,’’ PO 00000 Frm 00090 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 • NUREG–1433, Volume 1, Standard Technical Specifications, General Electric Plants, BWR/4,’’ and • NUREG–1434, Volume 1, Standard Technical Specifications, General Electric Plants, BWR/6.’’ II. Further Information Withdrawal of RG 1.16 does not, in and of itself, alter any prior or existing licensing commitments based on its use. The guidance provided in this RG is no longer necessary. Regulatory Guides may be withdrawn when their guidance is superseded by Congressional action, the methods or techniques described in the Regulatory Guide no longer describe a preferred approach, or the Regulatory Guide does not provide useful information. Regulatory guides are available for inspection or downloading through the NRC’s public Web site under ‘‘Regulatory Guides’’ in the NRC’s Electronic Reading Room at https:// www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doccollections. Regulatory guides are also available for inspection at the NRC’s Public Document Room (PDR), Room O– 1 F21, One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD 20852– 2738. The PDR’s mailing address is US NRC PDR, Washington, DC 20555–0001.

Participation in the focus groups and surveys will be voluntary. PBGC will consult with OMB regarding each specific information collection during the approval period. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

PBGC further estimates that the cost to respondents per burden hour will average $72, resulting in a total cost of $51,120 ($72 × 710).

Title V of the GLBA also provides that, unless an exception applies, a financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information of a consumer to a nonaffiliated third party unless the financial institution clearly and conspicuously discloses to the consumer that such information may be disclosed to such third party; the consumer is given the opportunity, before the time that such information is initially disclosed, to direct that such information not be disclosed to such third party; and the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option (‘‘opt out notice’’). The privacy notices required by the GLBA are mandatory. E:\FR\FM\11AUN1.SGM 11AUN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PBGC intends to request that OMB extend its 
approval, for a three-year period, of a generic collection of 
information consisting of customer satisfaction focus groups and 
surveys (OMB control number 1212-0053; expires 12/31/2009). The 
information collection will further the goals of Executive Order 12862, 
Setting Customer Service Standards, which states the Federal Government 
must seek to provide ``the highest quality of service delivered to 
customers by private organizations providing a comparable or analogous 
service.''
    PBGC uses customer satisfaction focus groups and surveys to find 
out about the needs and expectations of its customers and assess how 
well it is meeting those needs and expectations. By keeping these 
avenues of communication open, PBGC can continually improve service to 
its customers, including plan participants and beneficiaries, plan 
sponsors and their affiliates, plan administrators, pension 
practitioners, and others involved in the establishment, operation and 
termination of plans covered by PBGC's insurance program. Because the 
areas of concern to PBGC and its customers vary and may quickly change, 
it is important that PBGC have the ability to evaluate customer 
concerns quickly by developing new vehicles for gathering information 
under this generic approval.
    Participation in the focus groups and surveys will be voluntary. 
PBGC will consult with OMB regarding each specific information 
collection during the approval period. An agency may not conduct or 
sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of 
information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    PBGC estimates that the annual burden for this collection of 
information will total 710 hours for 2,000 respondents. PBGC further 
estimates that the cost to respondents per burden hour will average 
$72, resulting in a total cost of $51,120 ($72 x 710).
    PBGC is specifically seeking public comments to:
    (1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of PBGC's functions, including 
whether the information will have practical utility;
    (2) evaluate the accuracy of the estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    (3) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and
    (4) 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 
submission of responses.

    Issued at Washington, DC, this 5th day of August 2009.
