SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 16, 2012, the petitioner requested that the NRC take action with regard to Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit No. 2. The petitioner requests that the NRC order the licensee of Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit No. 2 to remove the passive autocatalytic recombiners (PARs) because the PAR system could have unintended ignitions in the event of a severe accident, which, in turn, could cause a hydrogen detonation. As the basis for this request, the petitioner references experimental data where PARs malfunction in environments containing high concentrations of combustible gases by having ignitions. The petitioner asserts that the PARs could be overwhelmed by the production of hydrogen following a severe reactor accident and a resulting ignition could lead to a detonation that challenges the structural integrity of the containment structure. The request is being treated pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.206, ‘‘Requests for Action Under this Subpart,’’ of the Commission’s regulations. The request has been referred to the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR). As provided by 10 CFR 2.206, appropriate action will be taken on this petition within a reasonable time. The petitioner met with the NRR petition review board on June 14 (transcript at ADAMS Accession No. ML12300A412) and September 12, 2012 (transcript at ADAMS Accession No. ML12300A428), to discuss the petition. The results of that discussion were considered in the board’s determination regarding the petitioner’s request for action and in establishing the schedule for the review VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:05 Nov 26, 2012 Jkt 229001 of the petition. A copy of the petition is available for inspection under ADAMS Accession No. ML12108A052. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 16th day of November 2012. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Eric J.

The addition of the SON, SOI and IPAC blocks support billing and processing enhancements. The printed ORI number is no longer necessary because SF 87 forms are converted to images and transmitted to the FBI electronically. Because OPM is eliminating the printed ORI number, a separate collection that does not have an ORI number, the SF 87A is redundant. Accordingly, OPM is eliminating the SF 87A form.

It is estimated that 210,533 SF 87 forms are provided to individuals annually. The SF 87 takes approximately 5 minutes to complete. The estimated annual burden is 17,544 hours. The 2009 OMB Terms of Clearance required an accurate reflection of the number of people who incur a cost for submitting their fingerprints to federal agencies and the total cost per annum. Calculations derived from Federal agency survey data and OPM data estimated that, at a maximum, 52,633 forms are submitted to federal agencies annually by individuals, who may incur a financial burden to obtain fingerprints at local police departments, when security offices are unable to conduct the fingerprinting.

Id. at 2. Rates under the Agreement are intended to take effect January 1, 2013 following expiration, on December 31, 2012, of rates now in effect under the China Post 2011 Agreement. Id. at 3. The Agreement pertains only to inbound market dominant rates; rates paid by the Postal Service to China Post Group for outbound delivery of Postal Service products in China are not in included. Id. at 6. Applicable rules. Subpart D of 39 CFR 3010 addresses rate adjustments for negotiated service agreements (Type 2 adjustments). The rules in this subpart specify, among other things, the scope and nature of the data, information, and explanations the Postal Service is to provide in a notice of Type 2 rate adjustment; the action the Commission is to take upon receipt of such Notice; and the nature of Commission review. See 39 CFR 3010.42 through 3010.44. II. Notice of Filing Compliance with filing requirements. The Postal Service’s filing consists of the Notice, two attachments, and a public Excel file. Attachment 1 to the Notice is an application for non-public treatment of material filed under seal with the Commission (Application).2 This material consists of the unredacted text of the Agreement and unredacted supporting financial documentation. Id. at 2. Attachment 2 is a redacted copy of the China Post 2013 Agreement. Id.

It identifies two components of the Agreement that are expected to enhance operational performance: continuation of delivery confirmation service for Letter Post small packets and use of business rules for international mail settlement. Id. at 4–5. The Postal Service presents several reasons why the instant Agreement will not result in unreasonable harm to the marketplace, including China Post Group’s status as the only entity in a position to avail itself of an agreement of this type and the role of the Postal Service and China Post Group as their countries’ designated operators for exchange of mail. Id. at 5–6. Rule 3010.43—data collection plan. Rule 3010.43 requires the Postal Service to submit a detailed data collection plan. In lieu of a special data collection for the Agreement, the Postal Service states that it intends to provide information via the Annual Compliance Report and, pursuant to this alternative, to provide any necessary information about mail flows from China in the course of the annual review process. Id. at 7. The Postal Service further asks that the Commission except the Agreement from the separate performance reporting requirement under 39 CFR 3055.3(a)(3). Id. It notes that the Commission has granted such exceptions for similar agreements.3 Consistency with applicable statutory criteria.
