November 3, 2014 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Department's Office of the Chief Human Capital Officer (OCHCO) is proposing to amend its ``Pay and Leave Records of Employees'' system of records. The system of records consists of payroll and time and attendance systems for fulfillment of payroll, timekeeping and leave functions. The OCHCO modifies: The authority for and manner in which the Pay and Leave Records of Employees system of records operates; the categories of records in the system, the location and address of the system, the method by which records are retrieved in the system; the retention and disposal methods made of the records in the system; and adds the purpose(s) for which the records are used in the system. Additionally, as part of this update, OCHCO makes one substantive change to the system of records to authorize the forthcoming transition of HUD's time and attendance system from the Department of Agriculture's National Finance Center (NFC) to the Treasury Department's Bureau of the Fiscal Service (BFS). The routine uses are being updated to include new disclosures of personally identifiable information (PII) to Treasury's BFS and to new contract service providers to bring the system in compliance with the Privacy Act. The Treasury's BFS is a shared service provider that will gain access to payroll data and begin testing time and attendance data for migration of records, and ultimately, hosting of the time and attendance system, while the payroll function remains at NFC. The payroll and leave functions include processing all pay matters/issues (e.g., overtime, holiday pay, compensatory time, compensatory time for travel), distribution of wages, distribution of allotments and deductions to financial and other institutions, some through electronic funds transfer, timekeeper support, to maintain leave balances and provide leave processing services such as restored leave, payroll/ personnel action (e.g. promotions and Reduction in Grade personnel actions), receipt amount, and administrative overpayment processing). This amended notice demonstrates the Department's present status of the information contained in the systems and new data sharing practices. Other non-substantive changes to the routine use section and throughout the document are being added to ensure compliance with the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a. A more detailed description of the present system is contained in notice ``Purpose'' caption. This notice supersedes the previous notice published in the Federal Register for ``HUD-34: Pay and Leave Records of Employees''.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is granting an exemption to allow a departure from the certification information of Tier 1 of the generic design control document (DCD) and issuing License Amendment No. 15 to Combined Licenses (COL), NPF-93 and NPF-94. The COLs were issued to South Carolina Electric & Gas Company (SCE&G), and South Carolina Public Service Authority (the licensee), for construction and operation of the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station (VCSNS), Units 2 and 3 located in Fairfield County, South Carolina. The amendment consists of changes to Figure 2.2.5-1, Tables; 2.6.3-4, 3.5- 3, 3.5-7, 2.2.3-1, 3.5-1, 3.3-6, 2.7.1-4, 2.6.6-1, 2.2.3-4, 2.3.10-2, and 2.1.1-1, and Section 3.2, Item 1.e) of Appendix C to the COLs.

This action confirms the effective date of the direct final rule published on July 28, 2014, and responds to the comments received on that direct final rule. The rule permits the pilot in command of a helicopter air ambulance to assess the weather at a departure point where current weather observations are not available and allows the pilot to depart if the observed ceiling and visibility is greater than certain weather minimums. This action will allow a pilot to utilize the minimum takeoff visibilities depicted in a published obstacle departure procedure, or in the absence of such a procedure, when the pilot observed ceiling and visibility is greater than the minimum ceiling and visibility limitations required by specific helicopter air ambulance rules. This change to the current regulation will permit helicopter air ambulance flights to enter the National Airspace System (NAS) under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) when visibilities and ceilings are below Visual Flight Rules (VFR), thus increasing the safety of the flight.
