Regulatory Guide 1.38 endorses the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) American National Standard Institute (ANSI) Standard N45.2.2—1972, ‘‘Packaging, Shipping, Receiving, Storage and Handling of Items for Nuclear Power Plants (During the Construction Phase),’’ dated December 20, 1972. Regulatory Guide 1.94 endorses the ASME/ANSI Standard N45.2.5—1974, ‘‘Supplementary Quality Assurance Requirements for Installation, Inspection, and Testing of Structural Concrete and Structural Steel During the Construction Phase of Nuclear Power Plants,’’ dated July 8, 1974 and American Concrete Institute (ACI) standard 309–72, ‘‘Recommended Practices for Consolidation of Concrete,’’ dated October 1, 1972. Regulatory Guide 1.116 endorses ASME/ANSI Standard N45.2—1975, ‘‘Supplementary Quality Assurance Requirements for Installation, Inspection and Testing of Mechanical Equipment and Systems for the Construction Phase of Nuclear Power Plants,’’ dated May 20, 1975; U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (USAEC) Technical Reports WASH 1309, ‘‘Guidance on Quality Assurance Requirements During the Construction Phase of Nuclear Power Plants,’’ dated May 10, 1974; and WASH–1284, ‘‘Guidance on Quality Assurance Requirements During the Operations Phase of Nuclear Power Plants,’’ dated October 26, 1973. The standards endorsed by Regulatory Guides 1.38, 1.94, and 1.116 have been superseded and replaced by the ASME/ ANSI Standard NQA–1, ‘‘Quality Assurance Requirements for Nuclear Facility Applications,’’ which is endorsed by Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Subsection 50.55a, ‘‘Codes and Standards,’’ (10 CFR 50.55a). The quality assurance requirements in 10 CFR 50.55a paragraphs (b)(1)(iv), ‘‘Quality Assurance,’’ (b)(2)(x), ‘‘Quality Assurance,’’ and (b)(2)(xxvii)(3)(i), ‘‘Quality Assurance’’ all state that the requirements in specific editions and addenda of NQA–1 are an acceptable method of demonstrating compliance with the quality assurance requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR part 50, VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:24 Sep 08, 2010 Jkt 220001 ‘‘Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants.’’ In those cases where the requirements of the licensee’s Appendix B quality assurance program are more stringent than those contained in NQA– 1, the licensee’s quality assurance program applies. Additional quality assurance guidance for NRC staff, licensees, and applicants may be found in NUREG– 0800, ‘‘Standard Review Plan,’’ Chapter 17, ‘‘Quality Assurance’’ as well as Regulatory Guide 1.28, ‘‘Quality Assurance Program Criteria (Design and Construction)’’ which was revised and issued in June 2010 to endorse (with additions and modifications) the Part I and Part II requirements of NQA–1– 2008 and the NQA 1a–2009 Addenda for the implementation of a QA program during the design and construction phases of nuclear power plants and fuel reprocessing facilities. II. Further Information The withdrawal of Regulatory Guides 1.38, 1.94, and 1.116 does not alter any prior or existing licensing commitments based on their use. The guidance provided in these regulatory guides is no longer necessary. Regulatory guides may be withdrawn when their guidance no longer provides useful information, or is superseded by technological, congressional actions, or other events. Guides are revised for a variety of reasons and the withdrawal of a Regulatory Guide should be thought of as the final revision of the guide. Although a regulatory guide is withdrawn, current licensees may continue to use it, and withdrawal does not affect any existing licenses or agreements. Withdrawal means that the guide should not be used for future NRC licensing activities. Changes to existing licenses would be accomplished using other regulatory products. 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, Maryland 20852–2738. The PDR’s mailing address is US NRC PDR, Washington, DC 20555–0001.

Since enactment of ERISA, PBGC, the Department of Labor (DOL), and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) (collectively, the Agencies), have worked together (under DOL’s leadership) to produce the Form 5500 Annual Return/Report, through which the regulated public can satisfy the combined reporting/filing requirements applicable to employee benefit plans. On November 16, 2007, the Agencies adopted revisions to the Form 5500 Annual Return/Report, including the establishment of a new Form 5500–SF (Short Form 5500) for certain small plans, in order to update and streamline the annual reporting process in conjunction with establishing a wholly electronic processing system for the receipt of the Form 5500 Annual Return/Reports and conform the forms to the provisions of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA).

On July 17, 2007, PBGC submitted a regular change request to OMB for approval of a three-year renewal period for the information collection requests (ICRs) contained under OMB Control Number 1212–0057. At that time, PBGC and OMB agreed that PBGC would file a non-material, non-substantive change request for the 2008 Form 5500 and Instructions and the 2008 Form 5500– SF and Instructions (Forms and Instructions) (and in 2009 for the 2009 Forms and Instructions) as long as no additional program changes were made. OMB approved the three-year renewal on September 24, 2007. On November 10, 2008, PBGC submitted a non-material, nonsubstantive change request with updated cost and hour burden estimates for the 2008 Forms and Instructions, which were approved by OMB on November 10, 2008. On July 25, 2009, PBGC submitted a non-material, non-substantive change request with updated cost and hour burden estimates for the 2009 and 2010 Forms and Instructions (without the Instructions for the 2010 Schedules SB VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:24 Sep 08, 2010 Jkt 220001 54923 and MB), which were approved on November 6, 2009 with the understanding that these Instructions would be submitted to OMB when they are available. On April 16, 2010, PBGC submitted a non-material, non-substantive change request for the 2009 and 2010 Forms and Instructions, to reflect revisions to the Instructions for Schedules SB and MB. This ICR was approved by OMB on April 26, 2010. On May 20, 2010, PBGC submitted a non-material, non-substantive change request for guidance on the 2009 Instructions for Schedule R (Retirement Plan Information).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) 
contains

[[Page 54923]]

three separate sets of provisions--in Title I (Labor provisions), Title 
II (Internal Revenue Code provisions), and Title IV PBGC provisions)--
requiring administrators of employee benefit pension and welfare plans 
(collectively referred to as employee benefit plans) to file returns or 
reports annually with the federal government.
    Since enactment of ERISA, PBGC, the Department of Labor (DOL), and 
the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) (collectively, the Agencies), have 
worked together (under DOL's leadership) to produce the Form 5500 
Annual Return/Report, through which the regulated public can satisfy 
the combined reporting/filing requirements applicable to employee 
benefit plans.
    On November 16, 2007, the Agencies adopted revisions to the Form 
5500 Annual Return/Report, including the establishment of a new Form 
5500-SF (Short Form 5500) for certain small plans, in order to update 
and streamline the annual reporting process in conjunction with 
establishing a wholly electronic processing system for the receipt of 
the Form 5500 Annual Return/Reports and conform the forms to the 
provisions of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA). A final rule, 
which was published contemporaneously with the revisions, amended DOL's 
electronic filing regulation at 29 CFR 2520.104a-2 to provide that the 
electronic filing requirement is applicable only for plan years 
beginning on or after January 1, 2009.
    On July 17, 2007, PBGC submitted a regular change request to OMB 
for approval of a three-year renewal period for the information 
collection requests (ICRs) contained under OMB Control Number 1212-
0057. At that time, PBGC and OMB agreed that PBGC would file a non-
material, non-substantive change request for the 2008 Form 5500 and 
Instructions and the 2008 Form 5500-SF and Instructions (Forms and 
Instructions) (and in 2009 for the 2009 Forms and Instructions) as long 
as no additional program changes were made. OMB approved the three-year 
renewal on September 24, 2007.
    On November 10, 2008, PBGC submitted a non-material, non-
substantive change request with updated cost and hour burden estimates 
for the 2008 Forms and Instructions, which were approved by OMB on 
November 10, 2008.
    On July 25, 2009, PBGC submitted a non-material, non-substantive 
change request with updated cost and hour burden estimates for the 2009 
and 2010 Forms and Instructions (without the Instructions for the 2010 
Schedules SB and MB), which were approved on November 6, 2009 with the 
understanding that these Instructions would be submitted to OMB when 
they are available.
    On April 16, 2010, PBGC submitted a non-material, non-substantive 
change request for the 2009 and 2010 Forms and Instructions, to reflect 
revisions to the Instructions for Schedules SB and MB. This ICR was 
approved by OMB on April 26, 2010.
    On May 20, 2010, PBGC submitted a non-material, non-substantive 
change request for guidance on the 2009 Instructions for Schedule R 
(Retirement Plan Information). This ICR was approved by OMB on June 6, 
2010.
    Thus, OMB has approved PBGCs annual reporting and disclosure 
collection of information (2008-2010 Forms and Instructions) under 
control number 1212-0057 through September 30, 2010. PBGC is requesting 
that OMB extend approval of this collection of information for three 
years, without change. 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 it will receive 30,300 Form 5500 and Form 5500-
SF filings per year under this collection of information. PBGC further 
estimates that the total annual burden of this collection of 
information is 1,200 hours and $1,250,000.
