Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; Comment Request, 36297-36298 [2012-14771]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 117 / Monday, June 18, 2012 / Notices I. Background The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is the timeliest instrument compiled by the U.S. Government that is designed to measure changes in the purchasing power of the urban consumer’s dollar. The CPI is used most widely as a measure of inflation, and is used in the formulation of economic policy. It also is used as a deflator of other economic series, that is, to adjust other series for price changes and to translate these series into inflation-free dollars. II. Current Action Office of Management and Budget clearance is being sought for the CPI Housing Survey. This request addresses both the ongoing collection activities associated with compilation of the shelter component of the Consumer Price Index and the replacement of the base sample, selected using 1990 Census data. The on-going replacement of sample requires the creation of new segments of rental dwellings in all 87 Primary Sampling Units (PSUs). This action assures the ongoing activities of rent data collection and updates the sample such that the estimates are sufficient and less likely to be biased. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES III.

ACTION: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) issued a Confirmatory Order to Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company (Maine Yankee or the Licensee), to address statutory requirements and the Commission’s regulation regarding mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES AGENCY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:02 Jun 15, 2012 Jkt 226001 Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company (Maine Yankee or the Licensee), is the holder of Facility Operating License No. DPR–36, pursuant to 10 CFR Part 50, which authorizes the receipt, possession, and use of byproduct and special nuclear material in accordance with the Commission’s regulations in 10 CFR Parts 30, 40, and 70 at the Maine Yankee Atomic Power Station and storage of spent nuclear fuel under the general license provisions of 10 CFR Part 72, Subpart K at the Maine Yankee Atomic Power Station. The facility is located at the Licensee’s site in Wiscasset, Maine. II On December 21, 2011, as supplemented April 24, 2012, Maine Yankee submitted a letter to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession Nos. ML11364A053 and ML12125A042), stating that it had implemented a Negation Action Plan by adopting a Board of Directors Resolution that prevents any potential for foreign control over safety and security matters, including access to security information and to special nuclear material in compliance with Section 103d of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (AEA) and the Commission’s regulation under Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.38. The Board of Directors Resolution was passed on December 14, 2011. The Board of Directors Resolution was enclosed in a Foreign Ownership, Control, and Influence (FOCI) application filed with the NRC on January 3, 2012, and also provided in a letter to the NRC dated February 23, 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12066A040). The Negation Action Plan, as modified in the April 24, 2012 letter, contains provisions related to foreign ownership, control, or domination that include, but are not limited to, the following items: (1) Access to classified and safeguards information and to special nuclear material shall be PO 00000 Frm 00049 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 controlled by Maine Yankee under the direction of the Chief Nuclear Officer (CNO) of Maine Yankee; (2) Decisions related to safety and security of special nuclear material, and related to access to classified and safeguards information and to special nuclear material, are specifically delegated by the Maine Yankee Board of Directors to the CNO of Maine Yankee; (3) The CNO of Maine Yankee shall be a U.S. citizen and shall execute a certification acknowledging his or her special duties to protect classified and safeguards information, to protect public health and safety and common defense and security relative to special nuclear material, and to report any foreign ownership, control, or domination issue to the NRC; (4) Directors and officers of foreigncontrolled sponsor companies shall not have access to safeguards or classified information, and shall not have access to special nuclear material in the possession of Maine Yankee; (5) Directors and officers of Maine Yankee who are representatives of a foreigncontrolled owner shall be excluded from access to classified information and to special nuclear material; and (6) Directors and officers of Maine Yankee who are representatives of a foreigncontrolled owner shall execute certifications acknowledging their exclusion from access to classified information and special nuclear material, and acknowledging their commitment to take no action to circumvent the protective measures established by Maine Yankee to negate any foreign control or influence with respect to radiological safety and security of special nuclear material. The NRC has reviewed and evaluated the executed Negation Action Plan and Board Resolution submitted by Maine Yankee, and finds the plan and implementing actions are acceptable to negate the foreign ownership, control, or domination issues and satisfy NRC requirements as applicable when the plan was submitted and at this time. III In order to meet the statutory requirements of Section 103d of the AEA and 10 CFR 50.38 as discussed above, the Commission has determined that the Facility Operating License for Maine Yankee Atomic Power Station must be modified to include provisions with respect to the measures identified in Section II of this Confirmatory Order. The requirements needed to effectuate the foregoing are set forth in Section IV below. On May 31, 2012, Maine Yankee consented to the license modifications set forth in Section IV below. Maine Yankee further agreed in its letter dated E:\FR\FM\18JNN1.SGM 18JNN1
