Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 223 / Friday, November 19, 2010 / Notices requirements as described in 10 CFR 73.55 and reflected in its current NRCapproved physical security program. By March 15, 2012, CR–3 physical security system will be in full compliance with all of the regulatory requirements of 10 CFR 73.55, as published on March 27, 2009. srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES 4.0 Conclusion for Part 73 Schedule Exemption Request The NRC staff has reviewed the licensee’s submittals and concludes that the licensee has provided adequate justification for its request for an extension of the previously authorized implementation dates from November 15 and December 15, 2010, with regard to four specified requirements of 10 CFR 73.55, to December 15, 2011, and March 15, 2012, respectively. This conclusion is based on the NRC staff’s determination that the licensee has made a good faith effort to meet the requirements in a timely manner, has sufficiently described the reason for the unanticipated delays, and has provided an updated detailed schedule with adequate justification to the additional time requested for the extension. The long-term benefits that will be realized when the security systems upgrade is complete justify extending the full compliance date with regard to the specific requirements of 10 CFR 73.55 for this particular licensee. The security measures that CR–3 needs additional time to implement are new requirements imposed by amendments to 10 CFR 73.55, as published on March 27, 2009, and are in addition to those required by the security orders issued in response to the events of September 11, 2001. Accordingly, an exemption from the March 31, 2010, implementation date is authorized by law and will not endanger life or property or the common defense and security, and the Commission hereby grants the requested exemption. As per the licensee’s request and the NRC’s regulatory authority to grant an exemption to the March 31, 2010, implementation date for the four items specified in Attachment 1 of the FPC letter dated September 8, 2010, the licensee is required to implement two items by December 15, 2011, and to implement the remaining two items by March 15, 2012. The licensee is required to be in full compliance with 10 CFR 73.55 by March 15, 2012. 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. VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:02 Nov 18, 2010 Jkt 223001 In accordance with 10 CFR 51.32, ‘‘Finding of no significant impact,’’ the Commission has previously determined that the granting of this exemption will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment (75 FR 69710 dated November 15, 2010). This exemption is effective upon issuance. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 15th day of November 2010. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Joseph G. Giitter, Director, Division of Operating Reactor Licensing, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 4062 of the Employee Retirement 
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, provides that the contributing 
sponsor of a single-employer pension plan and members of the sponsor's 
controlled group (``the employer'') incur liability (``employer 
liability'') if the plan terminates with assets insufficient to pay 
benefit liabilities under the plan. PBGC's statutory lien for employer 
liability and the payment terms for employer liability are affected by 
whether and to what extent employer liability exceeds 30 percent of the 
employer's net worth.
    Section 4062.6 of PBGC's employer liability regulation (29 CFR 
4062.6) requires a contributing sponsor or member of the contributing 
sponsor's controlled group who believes employer liability upon plan 
termination exceeds 30 percent of the employer's net worth to so notify 
PBGC and to submit net worth information. This information is necessary 
to enable PBGC to determine whether and to what extent employer 
liability exceeds 30 percent of the employer's net worth.
    The collection of information under the regulation has been 
approved by OMB under control number 1212-0017 through March 31, 2011. 
PBGC intends to request that OMB extend its approval for another three 
years. 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 an average of five contributing sponsors or 
controlled group members per year will respond to this collection of 
information. PBGC further estimates that the average annual burden of 
this collection of information will be 12 hours and $3,996 per 
respondent, with an average total annual burden of 60 hours and 
$19,980.
    PBGC is soliciting public comments to:
    [cir] Evaluate whether the collection of information is necessary 
for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including 
whether the information will have practical utility;
    [cir] Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden 
of the collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    [cir] Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information 
to be collected; and
    [cir] 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.
