such as the sale and trafficking of
children, debt bondage and serfdom and
forced or compulsory labour, including
forced or compulsory recruitment of
children for use in armed conflict.’’ Art.
3(a). Accordingly, the worst forms of
child labor under Convention 182
necessarily encompass the EO definition
of forced or indentured child labor,
which includes ‘‘all work or service: (1)
Extracted from any person under the age
of 18 under the menace of any penalty
for its non-performance and for which
the worker does not offer himself
voluntarily; or (2) performed by any
person under the age of 18 pursuant to
a contract the enforcement of which can
be accomplished by process or
penalties.’’ EO 13126, Sec. 6(c).
Therefore, the commenter’s suggestion
is based on an incorrect understanding
of the definition under international
law.

G. Comments Related to the Stage of
Production at Which Forced or
Indentured Child Labor Might Have
Been Used
Comments were received suggesting
that the EO List be expanded to include
‘‘end products’’ if there is a reasonable
basis to believe the component parts of
those products might have been mined,
produced, or manufactured by forced or
indentured child labor, regardless of the
stage in the supply chain at which there
is reason to believe such child labor
might have been used. DOL is
considering these comments and will
consult and coordinate as appropriate
with DOS, DHS and other Federal
agencies.
H. Comments Related to the
Procurement of Products Named on the
List
Comments were received requesting
that federal contracting officers use the
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)
Guidelines for Eliminating Child and
Forced Labor in Agricultural Supply
Chains (‘‘USDA Guidelines’’), set forth
at 76 FR 20305, to evaluate whether a
contractor has made a good faith effort
to verify that forced or indentured child
labor was not used to mine, produce, or
manufacture any item on the EO List.
The USDA Guidelines were published
on April 12, 2011 under the Food,
Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008,
Public Law 110–246, 122 Stat. 1651
(2008), and Section 105 of the TVPRA
as a ‘‘voluntary initiative to enable
entities to reduce the likelihood that
agricultural products or commodities
imported into the United States are
produced by forced labor or child
labor.’’ (76 FR 20305). These guidelines,
however, are not intended to be used by
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001
the government for enforcement
purposes. Further, the current General
Services Administration (GSA)
regulations applicable to procurements
affected by the EO do not permit good
faith to be evaluated in the manner
suggested. The GSA regulations state
that ‘‘[a]bsent any actual knowledge that
the [good faith] certification is false, the
contracting officer must rely on the
offerors’ certifications in making award
decisions.’’ 48 CFR 22.1503(d).

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Generation Company (the licensee) to
withdraw its October 26, 2011,
application for proposed amendment to
Facility Operating License No. NPF–18

storage after March 31, 2012, in spent
fuel pool storage rack cells that had not
been upgraded with the NETCO–SNAP–
IN® inserts.
The Commission had previously
issued a Notice of Consideration of
Issuance of Amendment published in
the Federal Register on January 10,
2012 (77 FR 1514). However, by letter
dated January 6, 2012, the licensee
withdrew the proposed change.
For further details with respect to this

amendment dated October 26, 2011, and
the licensee’s letter dated January 6,
2012, which withdrew the application
for license amendment. Documents may

Nuclear Regulatory
Commission.
ACTION: Final environmental assessment
and finding of no significant impact.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC or the Commission)
is considering issuing an amendment for
Renewed Facility Operating License
Nos. DPR–31 and DPR–41, issued to
Florida Power & Light Company (FPL or
the licensee) for operation of the Turkey
Point (PTN), Units 3 and 4, to increase
the maximum power level from 2300
megawatts thermal (MWt) to 2644 MWt
for each unit. The proposed power
increase is approximately 15-percent
over the current licensed thermal
power, including a 13-percent power
uprate and a 1.7-percent measurement
uncertainty recapture, and
approximately a 20-percent increase
from the original licensed power level of
2200 MWt. The NRC did not identify
any significant environmental impacts
associated with the proposed action
based on its evaluation of the
information provided in the licensee’s
