Download as PDF 8758 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 34 / Monday, February 22, 2016 / Notices mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES The NRC staff reviewed the licensee’s request and finds allowing the use of either visual surveillance of the inlet and outlet screens or temperature monitoring of the inlets and outlets within 4 hours of the occurrence of offnormal, accident, or natural phenomena events, when limited to major snow and icing events, does not compromise safety. The exemption still requires the licensee to perform SR 3.1.6.1 to establish the operability of the Concrete Cask Heat Removal Systems every 24 hours via temperature monitoring or visual inspection of the inlet and outlet screens. In addition, the exemption provides no additional time to complete the required surveillance of the inlets and outlets screens in accordance with TS A 5.3. The use of either method will ensure that adequate air flows past the storage canisters and that heat transfer occurs. For these reasons, NRC the staff found the same level of safety is obtained by using either of the TS A 3.1.6 methods to comply with NAC– MPC TS A 5.3 during limited types offnormal, accident, or natural phenomena. The NRC staff has determined that the thermal, structural, criticality, retrievability, and radiation protection requirements of 10 CFR part 72 and the offsite dose limits of 10 CFR part 20 will be maintained For these reasons, the NRC staff finds the same level of safety is obtained by using either of the TS A 3.1.6 methods to comply with NAC– MPC TS A 5.3. Therefore, the NRC concludes that the exemption will not endanger life or property or the common defense and security. The Exemption Presents No Undue Risk to Public Health and Safety As described in the application, exempting the licensee from visual surveillance of cask inlet and outlet vents within 4 hours of a major snowstorm would allow the licensee to prioritize more effectively important storm-related activities at the HNP site. Snow and ice blockage of the inlet and outlet vents is unusual. Moreover, snow and ice blockages are identified reliably by temperature monitoring of individual casks. The NRC staff recognizes there is a risk to the safety of workers responsible for clearing snow and ice from cask pads during extreme winter conditions when visual surveillance of casks must be undertaken within 4 hours. The NRC staff finds this risk to workers can be reduced by using SR 3.1.6.1 to establish the operability of the Concrete Cask Heat Removal Systems via temperature monitoring or visual inspection of the inlet and outlet screens. In addition, the limiting VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:03 Feb 19, 2016 Jkt 238001 conditions for operation of the NAC– MPC System require the Concrete Cask Heat Removal System for each cask to be operable during storage operation, therefore ensuring public health and safety are not reduced. Therefore, the NRC staff finds that allowing the licensee to use the SR, conditions, required actions, and completion times defined in NAC–MPC TS A 3.1.6 as an alternative to the single-method surveillance response in NAC–MPC TS A 5.3, would reduce worker safety risks to plant workers involved in snow removal. Therefore, granting the exemption is otherwise in the public interest. Environmental Considerations The NRC staff evaluated whether there would be significant environmental impacts associated with the issuance of the requested exemption. The NRC staff determined the proposed action fits a category of actions that do not require an environmental assessment or environmental impact statement. The exemption meets the categorical exclusion requirements of 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(i)–(vi). Granting an exemption from the requirements of 10 CFR 72.212(b)(3), 10 CFR 72.212(b)(5)(i), and 10 CFR 72.214 for the CYAPC ISFSI involves the visual surveillance requirement associated with TS A 5.3. A categorical exclusion for inspection and SRs is provided under 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(vi)(C), if the criteria in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(i)–(v) are also satisfied. The granting of the exemption: (i) Would not involve a significant hazards consideration because it does not reduce a margin of safety, create a new or different kind of accident not previously evaluated, or significantly increase the probability or consequences of an unevaluated accident; (ii) would not create a significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite because the exemption does not change or produce additional avenues of effluent release; (iii) would not significantly increase individual or cumulative public or occupational radiation exposure because the exemption does not introduce new or increased radiological hazards; (iv) would not result in significant construction impacts because the exemption would not involve construction or other ground disturbing activities, nor change the footprint of the existing ISFSI; (v) would not significantly increase the potential for or consequences from radiological accidents because the exemption PO 00000 Frm 00078 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 requires a surveillance method that ensures the heat removal system of casks is maintained within the limiting conditions for operation; and (vi) the request seeks exemption from inspection or surveillance requirements, specifically, the single-method SR in NAC–MPC TS A 5.3, may be substituted with the SR, conditions, required actions, and completion times defined in NAC–MPC TS A 3.1.6. In its review of the exemption request, the staff determined the proposed exemption meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25). Therefore, there are no significant radiological environmental impacts associated with the proposed action. IV. Conclusion The NRC has determined that, under 10 CFR 72.7, the exemption is authorized by law, will not endanger life or property or the common defense and security, and is otherwise in the public interest. Therefore, the NRC grants CYAPC an exemption from the requirements in 10 CFR 72.212(b)(3), 10 CFR 72.212(b)(5)(i), 10 CFR 72.214, and to TS A.5.3 for the NAC–MPC System CoC No. 1025 storage casks at the HNP ISFSI. The exemption authorizes the licensee to use the SR, conditions, required actions, and completion times defined in NAC–MPC TS A 3.1.6 to comply with NAC–MPC TS A 5.3 after off-normal, accident, or natural phenomena events, but is specifically limited to major snow or icing events (snow/ice events that have the potential to or that exceed blockage of greater than one-half of the inlet or outlet vents). This exemption is effective upon issuance. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 10th day of February, 2016. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Bernard H.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. General

    The Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a), as amended, establishes the 
conditions under which computer matching involving the Federal 
government could be performed and adding certain protections for 
individuals applying for and receiving Federal benefits. Section 7201 
of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-508) 
further amended the Privacy Act regarding protections for such 
individuals.
    The Privacy Act, as amended, regulates the use of computer matching 
by Federal agencies when records in a system of records are matched 
with other Federal, State, or local government records. Among other 
things, it requires Federal agencies involved in computer matching 
programs to:
    (1) Negotiate written agreements with the other agency for agencies 
participating in the matching programs;
    (2) Obtain the approval of the match agreement by the Data 
Integrity Boards (DIB) of the participating Federal agencies;
    (3) Furnish detailed reports about matching programs to Congress 
and OMB;
    (4) Notify applicants and beneficiaries that their records are 
subject to matching;
    (5) Verify match findings before reducing, suspending, termination 
or denying an individual's benefits or payments.

B. OPM Computer Matches Subject to the Privacy Act

    We have taken action to ensure that all of OPM's computer matching 
programs comply with the requirements of the Privacy Act, as amended.

Notice of Computer Matching Program, Office of Personnel Management 
(OPM) With the Social Security Administration (SSA)

A. Participating Agencies
    OPM and SSA.
B. Purpose of the Matching Program
    The purpose of this agreement is to establish the conditions under 
which the Social Security Administration (SSA) will disclose tax return 
information to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). OPM will match 
SSA's data with OPM's records on disability retirees under age 60, 
disabled adult child survivors, certain retirees in receipt of a 
supplemental benefit under the Federal Employees Retirement System 
(FERS), and certain annuitants receiving a discontinued service 
retirement benefit under the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS). 
Law limits the amount these retirees, survivors, and annuitants can 
earn while retaining benefits paid to them. Retirement benefits cease 
upon re-employment in Federal service for discontinued service 
annuitants. OPM will use SSA data to determine continued eligibility 
for benefits.
C. Authority for Conducting the Matching Program
    Chapters 83 and 84 of title 5 of the United States Code provide the 
basis for computing annuities under CSRS and FERS, respectively, and 
require release of information by SSA to OPM in order to administer 
data exchanges involving military service performed by an individual 
after December 31, 1956. The CSRS requirement is codified at section 
8332(j) of title 5 of the United States Code; the FERS requirement is 
codified at section 8422(e)(4) of title 5 of the United States Code. 
The responsibilities of SSA and OPM with respect to information 
obtained pursuant to this agreement are also in accordance with the 
following: the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a), as amended; section 307 of 
the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1982 (Pub. L. 97-253), 
codified at section 8332 Note of title 5 of the United States Code; 
section 1306(a) of title 42 of the United States Code; and section 
6103(1)(11) of title 26 of the United States Code.
D. Categories of Records and Individuals Covered by the Match
    SSA will disclose data from its MBR file (60-0090, Master 
Beneficiary Record, SSA/OEEAS) and MEF file (60-0059, Earnings 
Recording and Self-Employment Income System, SSA/OEEAS) and manually-
extracted military wage information from SSA's ``1086'' microfilm file 
when required (71 FR 1796, January 11, 2006). OPM will provide SSA with 
an electronic finder file from the OPM system of records published as 
OPM/Central-1 (Civil Service Retirement and Insurance Records) last 
published on March 20, 2008 (73 FR 15014). The system of records 
involved have routine uses permitting the disclosures needed to conduct 
this match.
E. Privacy Safeguards and Security
    The Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a(o)(1)(G)) requires that each 
matching agreement specify procedures for ensuring the administrative, 
technical and physical security of the records matched and the results 
of such programs.
    All Federal agencies are subject to: The Federal Information 
Security Management Act of 2002 (FISMA) (44 U.S.C. 3541 et seq.); 
related OMB circulars and memorandum (e.g., OMB Circular A-130 and OMB 
M-06-16); National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) 
directives; and the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR). These laws, 
circulars, memoranda directives and regulations include requirements 
for safeguarding Federal information systems and personally 
identifiable information used in Federal agency business processes, as 
well as related reporting requirements. OPM and SSA recognize that all 
laws, circulars, memoranda, directives and regulations relating to the 
subject of this agreement and published subsequent to the effective 
date of this agreement must also be implemented if mandated.

[[Page 8760]]

    FISMA requirements apply to all Federal contractors and 
organizations or sources that possess or use Federal information, or 
that operate, use, or have access to Federal information systems on 
behalf of an agency. OPM will be responsible for oversight and 
compliance of their contractors and agents. Both OPM and SSA reserve 
the right to conduct onsite inspection to monitor compliance with FISMA 
regulations.
F. Inclusive Dates of the Match
    The matching program shall become effective upon the signing of the 
agreement by both parties to the agreement and approval of the 
agreement by the Data Integrity Boards of the respective agencies, but 
no sooner than 40 days after notice of this matching program is sent to 
Congress and the Office of Management and Budget or 30 days after 
publication of this notice in the Federal Register, whichever is later. 
The matching program will continue for 18 months from the effective 
date and may be extended for an additional 12 months thereafter, if 
certain conditions are met.
