ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: The Department of Labor (DOL or Department) is committed to Environmental Justice (EJ). President Obama has renewed agencies’ environmental justice planning by reinvigorating Executive Order 12898 (EO 12898), which tasked several Federal agencies with making environmental justice part of their mission. The agencies were directed to do so by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, the disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects of their programs, policies, and activities on minority and low-income populations. In August 2011, agencies listed in EO 12898 signed a Memorandum of Understanding (EJ MOU), which, among other things, commits agencies to develop a final Environmental Justice Strategy. The purpose of this notice is to invite public comment on how the Department of Labor can address environmental justice through its programs, policies, regulations or reporting requirements. DATES: Comments must be received on or before November 18, 2011. ADDRESSES: You may submit comments through https:// dolenvironmentaljustice.ideascale.com/. All comments will be available for public inspection at https:// dolenvironmentaljustice.ideascale.com/. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: E. Christi Cunningham, Associate Assistant Secretary for Regulatory Policy, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW., Room S– 2312, Washington, DC 20210, cunningham.christi@dol.gov, (202) 693– 5959; (this is not a toll-free number). Individuals with hearing impairments may call 1–800–877–8339 (TTY/TDD). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Executive Order 12898 did not create a new legal remedy. As an internal management tool of the Executive Branch, the Order sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:10 Oct 24, 2011 Jkt 226001 directs Federal agencies to put in place procedures and take actions to make achieving environmental justice part of their basic mission. Former President Clinton explained that Federal agencies have the responsibility to promote nondiscrimination in Federal programs substantially affecting human health and the environment. Accordingly, agencies must implement actions to identify and address disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects of their programs, policies, and activities on minority and low-income populations and federallyrecognized Indian tribes. The Department views Environmental Justice from a workplace training, health and safety perspective. The Department is developing an Environmental Justice Strategy that is in line with the mission of the Department and Secretary Solis’ vision for the future: good jobs for everyone. The vision of good jobs for everyone includes ensuring that workplaces are safe and healthy; helping workers who are in low-wage jobs or out of the labor market find a path into middle-class jobs; and helping middle-class families remain in the middle-class. The Department’s Environmental Justice Strategy focuses on agencies directly involved with worker training (the Employment Training Administration (ETA)), and health and safety issues (the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA)). Request for Comments: As part of our development of the DOL Environmental Justice Strategy, we are soliciting public comment. Your input is important to us. Please provide responses that are supported with specific examples and data, where possible. This request for public input will inform development of the Department of Labor’s draft Environmental Justice Strategy. To facilitate receipt of the information, the Department has created an Internet portal specifically designed to capture your input and suggestions, https:// dolenvironmentaljustice.ideascale.com/. The portal contains a series of questions designed to gather information on how DOL can best meet the requirements of the Executive Order. The portal is open to receive comments through November 18, 2011. Questions for the Public: The Department of Labor intends the questions on the portal to represent a starting point for discussion of the draft Strategic Plan. The questions are meant to initiate public dialogue, and are not intended to restrict the issues that may PO 00000 Frm 00056 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 66087 be raised or addressed. The questions were developed with the intent to probe a range of areas. When addressing these questions, the Department of Labor requests that commenters identify with specificity the program, policy, regulation or reporting requirement at issue, providing legal citation(s) where available. The Department also requests that submitters provide, in as much detail as possible, an explanation of why a program, policy, regulation or reporting requirement should be modified, streamlined, expanded, or repealed as well as specific suggestions of ways the Department of Labor can better achieve environmental justice. Whenever possible, please provide empirical evidence and data to support your response. The Department of Labor is issuing this request solely to seek useful information as it develops its plan. While responses to this request do not bind the Department of Labor to any further actions related to the response, all submissions will be made available to the public on https:// dolenvironmentaljustice.ideascale.com/.

Background The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing information collection requirements in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that information is in the desired format, reporting burden (time and costs) is minimal, collection instruments are clearly understood, and OSHA’s estimate of the information collection burden is accurate. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) authorizes information collection by employers as necessary or appropriate for enforcement of the OSH Act or for developing information regarding the causes and prevention of occupational injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires that OSHA obtain such information with minimum burden upon employers, especially those operating small businesses, and to reduce to the maximum extent feasible unnecessary duplication of efforts in obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657). Under the paperwork requirement specified by paragraph (c) of the Standard, an employer must certify that his or her workers have been trained as specified by the training provision of the Standard. Specifically, employers must prepare a certification record which includes the identity of the person trained, the signature of the employer or the person who conducted the training, and the date the training was completed. The certification record shall be prepared at the completion of training and shall be maintained on file for the duration of the employee’s employment. The information collected would be used by employers as well as compliance officers to determine whether employees have been trained according to the requirements set forth in 29 CFR 1910.268(c). II. Special Issues for Comment OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues: • Whether the proposed information collection requirements are necessary for the proper performance of the Agency’s functions, including whether the information is useful; • The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of the burden (time and costs) of the information collection requirements, PO 00000 Frm 00057 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; • The quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and • Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply; for example, by using automated or other technological information collection and transmission techniques. III. Proposed Actions OSHA is requesting that OMB extend its approval of the information collection requirement contained in the Standard on Telecommunications (29 CFR 1910.268). In the existing ICR, the Agency calculated burden hours and cost for the training certification record for all workers in the telecommunications industry. The burden hours have decreased based on the number of telecommunication workers installing and repairing lines and equipment. Therefore, OSHA is proposing to decrease the existing burden hour estimate for the collection of information requirement specified by the Standard from 1,087 hours to 1,077 hours, a total difference of 10 hours. The Agency will summarize the comments submitted in response to this notice and will include this summary in the request to OMB. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: [FR Doc. 2011–27549 Filed 10–24–11; 8:45 am] I. Introduction BILLING CODE 7555–01–P The NRC is issuing a revision to an existing guide in the NRC’s ‘‘Regulatory Guide’’ series. This series was developed to describe and make available to the public information such as methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific parts of the agency’s regulations, techniques that the staff uses in evaluating specific problems or postulated accidents, and data that the staff needs in its review of applications for permits and licenses. The NRC typically seeks public comment on a draft version of a regulatory guide by announcing its availability for comment in the Federal Register. However, the NRC may directly issue a final regulatory guide without a draft version or public comment period if the changes to the regulatory guide are non-substantive, including changes to the Regulatory Position section of the regulatory guide. Issuance of regulatory guides using this direct final process reduces processing time and review costs. A regulatory guide revised using this process is called an Administratively Changed Guide (ACG). Revision 2 of RG 5.66 is being issued directly as a final regulatory guide because the changes between Revision 2 and Revision 1 are non-substantive. Regulatory Guide (RG) 5.66 was written to provide guidance to licensees for the access authorization programs required by Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), section 73.56, ‘‘Personnel Access Authorization Requirements for Nuclear Power Plants,’’ and 10 CFR part 26, ‘‘Fitness for Duty Programs.’’ The RG was NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION [NRC–2011–0245] Access Authorization Program for Nuclear Power Plants Nuclear Regulatory Commission. ACTION: Regulatory guide; issuance. AGENCY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing a revision to Regulatory Guide 5.66, ‘‘Access Authorization Program for Nuclear Power Plants.’’ This guide describes a method that NRC staff considers acceptable to implement the requirements related to an access authorization program.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce 
paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a 
preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an 
opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing information 
collection requirements in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that 
information is in the desired format, reporting burden (time and costs) 
is minimal, collection instruments are clearly understood, and OSHA's 
estimate of the information collection burden is accurate. The 
Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 
et seq.) authorizes information collection by employers as necessary or 
appropriate for enforcement of the OSH Act or for developing 
information regarding the causes and prevention of occupational 
injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also 
requires that OSHA obtain such information with minimum burden upon 
employers, especially those operating small businesses, and to reduce 
to the maximum extent feasible unnecessary duplication of efforts in 
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
    Under the paperwork requirement specified by paragraph (c) of the 
Standard, an employer must certify that his or her workers have been 
trained as specified by the training provision of the Standard. 
Specifically, employers must prepare a certification record which 
includes the identity of the person trained, the signature of the 
employer or the person who conducted the training, and the date the 
training was completed. The certification record shall be prepared at 
the completion of training and shall be maintained on file for the 
duration of the employee's employment. The information collected would 
be used by employers as well as compliance officers to determine 
whether employees have been trained according to the requirements set 
forth in 29 CFR 1910.268(c).

II. Special Issues for Comment

    OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues:
     Whether the proposed information collection requirements 
are necessary for the proper performance of the Agency's functions, 
including whether the information is useful;
     The accuracy of OSHA's estimate of the burden (time and 
costs) of the information collection requirements, including the 
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     The quality, utility, and clarity of the information 
collected; and
     Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply; 
for example, by using automated or other technological information 
collection and transmission techniques.

III. Proposed Actions

    OSHA is requesting that OMB extend its approval of the information 
collection requirement contained in the Standard on Telecommunications 
(29 CFR 1910.268). In the existing ICR, the Agency calculated burden 
hours and cost for the training certification record for all workers in 
the telecommunications industry. The burden hours have decreased based 
on the number of telecommunication workers installing and repairing 
lines and equipment. Therefore, OSHA is proposing to decrease the 
existing burden hour estimate for the collection of information 
requirement specified by the Standard from 1,087 hours to 1,077 hours, 
a total difference of 10 hours. The Agency will summarize the comments 
submitted in response to this notice and will include this summary in 
the request to OMB.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Title: Telecommunications (29 CFR 1910.268).
    OMB Number: 1218-0225.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profits; Not-for-profit 
organizations; Federal Government; State, Local, or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 659.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Average Time per Response: Two (2) minutes for an establishment to 
disclose training records and 2 minutes for the training record to be 
generated.
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 1,077.
    Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance): $0.
