Download as PDF emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES 14842 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 45 / Thursday, March 7, 2013 / Notices will be required to conduct an investigation. 2. The application form provides necessary information to the NMB so that it can determine the amount of staff and resources required to conduct an investigation and fulfill its statutory responsibilities. Without this information, the NMB would have to delay the commencement of the investigation, which is contrary to the intent of the Railway Labor Act. 3. There is no improved technological method for obtaining this information. The burden on the parties is minimal in completing the ‘‘Application for Investigation of Representation Dispute.’’ 4. There is no duplication in obtaining this information. 5. Rarely are representation elections conducted for small businesses. Carriers/employers are not permitted to request our services regarding representation investigations. The labor organizations, which are the typical requesters, are national in scope and would not qualify as small businesses. Even in situations where the invocation comes from a small labor organization, we believe the burden in completing the application form is minimal and that no reduction in burden could be made. 6. The NMB is required by Section 2, Ninth, to investigate the dispute, to determine who is the authorized representative, if any, and to certify such representative. The NMB has no ability to control the frequency, technical, or legal obstacles, which would reduce the burden. 7. The information requested by the NMB is consistent with the general information collection guidelines of CFR 1320.6. The NMB has no ability to control the data provided or timing of the invocation. The burden on the parties is minimal in completing the ‘‘Application for Investigation of Representation Dispute.’’ 8. No payments or gifts have been provided by the NMB to any respondents of the form. 9. There are no questions of a sensitive nature on the form. 10. The total time burden on respondents is 17.00 hours annually— this is the time required to collect information. After consulting with a sample of people involved with the collection of this information, the time to complete this information collection is estimated to average 15 minutes per response, including gathering the data needed and completion and review of the information. Number of respondents per year: 68 Estimated time per respondent: 15 minutes VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:43 Mar 06, 2013 Jkt 229001 Total Burden hours per year: 17 (68 × .25) 11. The total collection and mail cost burden on respondents is estimated at $494.36 annually ($463.08 time cost burden + $31.28 mail cost burden.) a. The respondents will not incur any capital costs or start up costs for this collection. b. Cost burden on respondents— detail: The total time burden annual cost is $463.08 Time Burden Basis: The total hourly burden per year, upon respondents, is 17 Staff cost = $463.08 $27.24 per hour—based on mid level clerical salary $27.24 × 17 hours per year = $463.08 We are estimating that a mid-level clerical person, with an average salary of $27.24 per hour, will be completing the ‘‘Application for Investigation of Representation Dispute’’ form. The total burden is estimated at 17 hours, therefore, the total time burden cost is estimated at $463.08 per year. The total annual mailing cost to respondents is $31.28 Number of applications mailed by Respondents per year: 68 Total estimated cost: $31.28 (68 × .46 stamp) The collection of this information is not mandatory; it is a voluntary request from airline and railroad carrier employees seeking to invoke an investigation of a representation dispute. After consulting with a sample of people involved with the collection of this information, the time to complete this information collection is estimated to average 15 minutes per response, including gathering the data needed and completion and review of the information. However, the estimated hour burden costs of the respondents may vary due to the complexity of the specific question in dispute. The application form is available from the NMB’s Office of Legal Affairs and is also available on the Internet at https:// www.nmb.gov/representation/ rapply.html. 12. The total annualized Federal cost is $551.21. This includes the costs of printing and mailing the forms upon request of the parties. The completed applications are maintained by the Office of Legal Affairs. a. Printing cost: $ 80.00. b. Mailing costs: $ 8.13. Basis (mail cost): Forms are requested approximately 3 times per year and it takes 5 minutes to prepare the form for mail. Postage cost = $1.38 PO 00000 Frm 00080 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 3 (times per year) × .46 (cost of postage) Staff cost = $6.75 $.45 per minute (GS 9/10 $56,857 = $27.24 per hr. ÷ 60) $.45 × 5 minutes per mailing = $2.25 $2.25 × 3 times per year = $6.75 Total Mailing Costs = $8.13 13. Item 13—no change in annual reporting and recordkeeping hour burden. 14. The information collected by the application will not be published. 15. The NMB will display the OMB expiration date on the form. 16(a)—the form does not reduce the burden on small entities; however, the burden is minimized and voluntary. 16 (b)—the form does not indicate the retention period for record keeping requirements. 16 (c)—the form is not part of a statistical survey.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) grants the Florida Power Corporation request to withdraw its application for the renewal of operating license DPR– 72, which authorizes Florida Power Corporaton (FPC) to operate the Crystal River Nuclear Generating Plant, Unit 3 (CR3), at 2609 megawatts thermal. The FPC stated its decision to withdraw the application is based upon a determination to retire CR3. The CR3 is located near Crystal River, FL; the current operating license for the CR3 expires on December 3, 2016. The FPC submitted the license renewal application (LRA) by letter dated December 16, 2008, pursuant to Part 54 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), to renew operating license DPR–72 for CR3 (ADAMS Accession No. ML090080053). The Commission had previously noticed the acceptance of the application in the Federal Register on March 9, 2009 (74 FR 10099). The FPC requested withdrawal of the application by letter dated February 6, 2013, based on its determination to retire CR3 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13043A028). The NRC staff completed its ‘‘Safety Evaluation Report With Open Items Related to the License Renewal of Crystal River Unit 3 Nuclear Generating VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:43 Mar 06, 2013 Jkt 229001 Plant’’ (hereinafter known as the SER) in December 2010 (ADAMS Accession No. ML103490568). Consistent with 10 CFR 54.13(a), ‘‘[I]nformation provided to the Commission by an applicant for a renewed license * * * must be complete and accurate in all material respects.’’ The staff noted that the SER contains nine open items and two confirmatory items; these items are incomplete in regards to 10 CFR 54.13(a). Since the staff’s review to date has identified that FPC’s application did not provide technical information in sufficient detail to enable the staff to complete its reviews, if FPC decides to re-submit the application, it must include this technical information in sufficient detail to allow the staff to continue its evaluations. The staff also issued a Notice of Issuance for the draft supplemental environmental impact statement (DSEIS) related to the proposed license renewal, which was published in the Federal Register on June 3, 2011 (76 FR 32237). However, since the licensee has withdrawn its application, all comments received on the DSEIS and all of the above Federal Register Notices need not be and will not be resolved.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) 
grants the Florida Power Corporation request to withdraw its 
application for the renewal of operating license DPR-72, which 
authorizes Florida Power Corporaton (FPC) to operate the Crystal River 
Nuclear Generating Plant, Unit 3 (CR3), at 2609 megawatts thermal. The 
FPC stated its decision to withdraw the application is based upon a 
determination to retire CR3. The CR3 is located near Crystal River, FL; 
the current operating license for the CR3 expires on December 3, 2016.
    The FPC submitted the license renewal application (LRA) by letter 
dated December 16, 2008, pursuant to Part 54 of Title 10 of the Code of 
Federal Regulations (10 CFR), to renew operating license DPR-72 for CR3 
(ADAMS Accession No. ML090080053). The Commission had previously 
noticed the acceptance of the application in the Federal Register on 
March 9, 2009 (74 FR 10099). The FPC requested withdrawal of the 
application by letter dated February 6, 2013, based on its 
determination to retire CR3 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13043A028).
    The NRC staff completed its ``Safety Evaluation Report With Open 
Items Related to the License Renewal of Crystal River Unit 3 Nuclear 
Generating Plant'' (hereinafter known as the SER) in December 2010 
(ADAMS Accession No. ML103490568). Consistent with 10 CFR 54.13(a), 
``[I]nformation provided to the Commission by an applicant for a 
renewed license * * * must be complete and accurate in all material 
respects.'' The staff noted that the SER contains nine open items and 
two confirmatory items; these items are incomplete in regards to 10 CFR 
54.13(a). Since the staff's review to date has identified that FPC's 
application did not provide technical information in sufficient detail 
to enable the staff to complete its reviews, if FPC decides to re-
submit the application, it must include this technical information in 
sufficient detail to allow the staff to continue its evaluations.
    The staff also issued a Notice of Issuance for the draft 
supplemental environmental impact statement (DSEIS) related to the 
proposed license renewal, which was published in the Federal Register 
on June 3, 2011 (76 FR 32237). However, since the licensee has 
withdrawn its application, all comments received on the DSEIS and all 
of the above Federal Register Notices need not be and will not be 
resolved.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the LRA dated 
December 16, 2008, and the licensee's letter of withdrawal dated 
February 6, 2013.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 28th day of February, 2013.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Director, Division of License Renewal, Office of Nuclear Reactor 
Regulation.
