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 an adjustment
increase in burden hours from 4,795,505
hours to 4,862,147 hours (a total
increase of 66,642 hours). Although the
number of estimated establishments and
employees covered by the Standard
decreased based on updated data, the
estimated number of new and existing
PSM processes increased, resulting in a
burden hour increase.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: The Standard on Process Safety
Management of Highly Hazardous
Chemicals (29 CFR 1910.119).
OMB Number: 1218–0200.

Attorney General for the State of New

of the Code of Federal Regulations (10
PO 00000
Frm 00064

CFR), ‘‘Requests for Action under This
Subpart,’’ to Mr. R. W. Borchardt,
Executive Director for Operations, U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC,
or the Commission). The Petitioner
requested that the NRC take
enforcement action to correct alleged
noncompliance with fire protection
regulations at Indian Point Nuclear
Generating, Units 1, 2, and 3.
Actions Requested
The Petitioner asked the NRC to take
immediate action and issue an Order
requiring the following actions
regarding Indian Point Nuclear
Generating, Units 1, 2, and 3:
• Identify the violations of paragraphs
F and G of Section III of Appendix R,
‘‘Fire Protection Program for Nuclear
Power Facilities Operating Prior to
January 1, 1979,’’ to 10 CFR Part 50,
‘‘Domestic Licensing of Production and
Utilization Facilities,’’ which exist as of
the date of the petition (March 28, 2011)
at Indian Point Units 1, 2, and 3.
• Compel Entergy Nuclear
Operations, Inc. (Entergy, or the
licensee), and its affiliates to comply on
or before September 20, 2011, with the
requirements in paragraphs F and G for
all fire zones in Indian Point Units 2
and 3, and any Indian Point Unit 1 fire
zone or system, structure, or component
that Indian Point Units 2 and 3 rely
upon.
• Convene an evidentiary hearing
before the Commission to adjudicate the
violation of paragraphs F and G at
Indian Point Units 1, 2, and 3, by
Entergy and its affiliates.
As the basis for the request, the
Petitioner stated, in part, the following:
• The Petitioner noted that the NRC’s
fire safety regulations found in 10 CFR
50.48(b) and Appendix R to 10 CFR Part
50 have been in effect since 1980 and
the Indian Point reactors still do not
comply with the prescriptive
requirements.
• The Petitioner cited the population
centers adjacent to the Indian Point
facility and the associated consequences
of a major fire and radiological release
at Indian Point. According to the
Petitioner, more than 17 million people
live within 50 miles of the Indian Point
site, which has the highest surrounding
population of any operating reactor site
in the country. The Petitioner also notes
that Indian Point is located within 5
miles of the New Croton Reservoir in
Westchester County, which provides
drinking water for New York City.
• The Petitioner noted that Indian
Point was built before the NRC or its
predecessor, the Atomic Energy
Commission, developed siting criteria.
