Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 59 / Monday, March 29, 2010 / Notices
cprice-sewell on DSK89S0YB1PROD with NOTICES
licensees, with good cause, to apply for
relief from the compliance date
(Reference: letter dated June 4, 2009,
from R.W. Borchardt, NRC, to M.S.
Fertel, Nuclear Energy Institute,
Agencywide Documents Access and
Management System (ADAMS)
Accession Number ML091410309). The
licensee’s request for an exemption is,
therefore, consistent with the approach
set forth by the Commission and
discussed in the letter dated June 4,
2009.
SSES Units 1 and 2 Schedule
Exemption Request
The licensee provided detailed
information in its submissions dated
December 3, 2009, as supplemented by
letters dated January 8 and 29, 2010,
requesting an exemption. In its
submissions, PPL stated that
implementation of specific parts of the
new requirements will require more
time to implement since they involve
significant physical modifications
requiring: (1) Specific parts that are
proving to be long lead time items, (2)
specialized industry expertise whose
availability is being challenged by the
significant demand for a limited
resource, or (3) a major interface with
the plant for installation that must be
carefully planned and implemented to
avoid impact to the plant protective
strategy. The licensee provided a
timeline for achieving full compliance
with the new regulation. The licensee’s
submissions dated December 3, 2009, as
supplemented by letters dated January 8
and 29, 2010, contain sensitive security
information regarding (1) The site
security plan, (2) details of the specific
requirements of the regulation for which
the site cannot be in compliance by the
March 31, 2010, deadline and
justification for the same, (3) the
required changes to the site’s security
configuration, and (4) a timeline with
critical path activities that will bring the
licensee into full compliance by July 31,
2011, for all the regulatory requirements
of 10 CFR 73.55, as issued on March 27,
2009 (by October 29, 2010, for one
specific requirement, by July 31, 2011,
for two other requirements, and by
March 31, 2010, for all other
requirements). The timeline provides
dates indicating when (1) construction
will begin on various phases of the
project (e.g., new roads, buildings, and
fences), (2) outages are scheduled for
each unit, and (3) critical equipment
will be ordered, installed, tested and
become operational.
Notwithstanding the schedule
exemptions for these limited
requirements, the licensee stated that it
will continue to be in compliance with
VerDate Nov<24>2008
09:18 Apr 05, 2010
Jkt 220001
all other applicable physical security
requirements as described in 10 CFR
73.55 and reflected in its current NRCapproved physical security program. By
July 31, 2011, SSES, Units 1 and 2 will
be in full compliance with all the
regulatory requirements of 10 CFR
73.55, as issued on March 27, 2009.
4.0 Conclusion for Part 73 Schedule
Exemption Request
The staff has reviewed the licensee’s
submittals and concludes that the
licensee has provided adequate
justification for its request for an
extension of the compliance date to July
31, 2011, with regard to three specified
requirements of 10 CFR 73.55.
Accordingly, the Commission has
determined that pursuant to 10 CFR
73.5, ‘‘Specific exemptions,’’ an
exemption from the March 31, 2010,
compliance date is authorized by law
and will not endanger life or property or
the common defense and security, and
is otherwise in the public interest.
Therefore, the Commission hereby
grants the requested exemption.
The NRC staff has determined that the
long-term benefits that will be realized
when the modifications described in
PPL’s letter dated December 3, 2009, as
supplemented by letters dated January 8
and 29, 2010, are complete, justifies
exceeding the full compliance date in
the case of this particular licensee. The
security measures PPL needs additional
time to implement are new
requirements imposed by March 27,
2009, amendments to 10 CFR 73.55, and
are in addition to those required by the
security orders issued in response to the
events of September 11, 2001.
Therefore, the NRC concludes that the
licensee’s actions are in the best interest
of protecting the public health and
safety through the security changes that
will result from granting this exemption.
As per the licensee’s request and the
NRC’s regulatory authority to grant an
exemption from the March 31, 2010,
implementation deadline for the three
items specified in its letter dated
December 3, 2009, as supplemented by
letter dated January 8 and January 29,
2010, the licensee is required to be in
full compliance July 31, 2011 (by
October 29, 2010, for one specific
requirement, by July 31, 2011, for two
other requirements, and by March 31,
2010, for all other requirements.) In
achieving compliance, the licensee is
reminded that it is responsible for
determining the appropriate licensing
mechanism (i.e., 10 CFR 50.54(p) or 10
CFR 50.90) for incorporation of all
necessary changes to its security plans.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.32, ‘‘Finding of
no significant impact,’’ the Commission
PO 00000

has previously determined that the
granting of this exemption will not have
a significant effect on the quality of the
human environment 75 FR 13322; dated
March 19, 2010.
This exemption is effective upon
issuance.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland this 22nd day
of March 2010.

ACTION: Notice of meeting.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The National Council on
Federal Labor-Management Relations
will hold its second and third meetings
on April 7, 2010 and May 5, 2010 at the
time and location shown below. The
Council is an advisory body composed
of representatives of Federal employee
organizations, Federal management
organizations, and senior government
officials. The Council was established
by Executive Order 13522, entitled,
‘‘Creating Labor-Management Forums to
Improve Delivery of Government
Services,’’ which was signed by the
President on December 9, 2009. Along
with its other responsibilities, the
Council assists in the implementation of
Labor Management Forums throughout
the government and makes
recommendations to the President on
innovative ways to improve delivery of
services and products to the public
while cutting costs and advancing
employee interests. The Council is cochaired by the Director of the Office of
Personnel Management and the Deputy
Director for Management of the Office of
Management and Budget.
Please note that we are providing a
slightly shortened notice period for the
April 7 meeting as permitted under 41
CFR 102–3.150 in ‘‘exceptional
circumstances.’’ Action on this notice
was delayed due to the press of
increased workloads at OPM this week
relating to the recent passage of the
health care bill. However, the meeting
date, time, location and purpose were
announced at the February 26, 2010
public meeting of the Council. Also,
notice of the meeting has been posted

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 59 / Monday, March 29, 2010 / Notices
on the Council website at
LMRcouncil.gov since March 8, 2010.
Deadlines imposed by the executive
order are pending as agencies were
required to submit implementation
plans no later than March 9, and the
Council must act on those plans within
30 days of receipt. OPM believes that a
timely meeting is necessary for the
Council to meet its requirements under
the order and to consider public
comments on these agency plans. A
further postponement of the meeting
would hinder agencies from meeting
their responsibilities under the order to
implement labor-management forums
throughout the Federal Government.
At the April 7 meeting, the Council
will review agency implementation
plans and make recommendations on
their certification. At the May 5
meeting, the Council will work on
recommendations to the President
concerning 5 U.S.C. 7106 (b)(1) pilot
projects The meetings are open to the
public. Please contact the Office of
Personnel Management at the address
shown below if you wish to present
material to the Council at the meeting.
The manner and time prescribed for
presentations may be limited,
depending upon the number of parties
that express interest in presenting
information.

RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD
Proposed Collection; Comment
Request
SUMMARY: In accordance with the
requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
which provides opportunity for public
comment on new or revised data
collections, the Railroad Retirement
Board (RRB) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed data collections.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed information collection is
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 of 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.
Title and Purpose of Information
Collection
Application and Claim for Sickness
Insurance Benefits; OMB 3220–0039
Under section 2 of the Railroad
Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA),
sickness benefits are payable to
qualified railroad employees who are
unable to work because of illness or
injury. In addition, sickness benefits are
payable to qualified female employees if
they are unable to work, or if working
would be injurious, because of
pregnancy, miscarriage or childbirth.
Estimate of Annual Respondent Burden
The estimated annual respondent
burden is as follows:
Annual
responses
Form #(s)
cprice-sewell on DSK89S0YB1PROD with NOTICES
Under section 1(k) of the RUIA, a
statement of sickness with respect to
days of sickness of an employee is to be
filed with the RRB within a 10-day
period from the first day claimed as a
day of sickness. The RRB’s authority for
requesting supplemental medical
information is section 12(i) and 12(n) of
the RUIA. The procedures for claiming
sickness benefits and for the RRB to
obtain supplemental medical
information needed to determine a
claimant’s eligibility for such benefits
are prescribed in 20 CFR part 335.
The forms currently used by the RRB
to obtain information needed to
determine eligibility for and the amount
of sickness benefits due a claimant
follows: Form SI–1a, Application for
Sickness Benefits; Form SI–1b,
Statement of Sickness; Form SI–3, Claim
for Sickness Benefits; Form SI–7,
Supplemental Doctor’s Statement; Form
SI–8, Verification of Medical
Information; Form ID–7h, NonEntitlement to Sickness Benefits and
Information on Unemployment Benefits;
Form ID–11a, Requesting Reason for
Late Filing of Sickness Benefit and ID–
11b, Notice of Insufficient Medical and
Late Filing. Completion is required to
obtain or retain benefits. One response
is requested of each respondent.
The RRB proposes the addition an
equivalent Internet version of Form SI–
3, Claim for Sickness Benefits to the
information collection. The Internet
equivalent Form SI–3 will essentially
mirror the manual RRB Form SI–3
currently in use, but will also provide
the claimant the ability to change their
direct deposit information in addition to
the ability to complete and file the claim
via the Internet. No other changes are
proposed.
