submissions available to the public or
entering the comment submissions into
ADAMS.
II. Additional Information
The NRC is issuing for public
comment a DG in the NRC’s ‘‘Regulatory
Guide Series. This series was developed
to describe and make available to the
public information regarding methods
that are acceptable to the NRC staff for
implementing specific parts of the
NRC’s regulations, techniques that the
staff uses in evaluating specific
problems or postulated events, and data
that the staff needs in its review of
applications for permits and licenses.
The DG, entitled ‘‘Physical Inventories
and Material Balances at Fuel Cycle
Facilities,’’ is a proposed new guide,
temporarily identified by its task
number, DG–5056. This new RG would
provide guidance for meeting the
nuclear material control and accounting
(MC&A) requirements in part 74 of title
10 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(10 CFR), ‘‘Material Control and
Accounting of Special Nuclear
Material,’’ that cover these topics. The
DG–5056 updates guidance previously
provided by:
• RG 5.13, ‘‘Conduct of Nuclear
Material Physical Inventories,’’
published in November 1973; and
• RG 5.33, ‘‘Statistical Evaluation of
Material Unaccounted For’’ published
in June 1974.
Due to several rulemakings that
occurred from 1985 to 2002, which
significantly amended the MC&A
requirements, the above regulatory
guides are now outdated as they no
longer cite the correct sections of the
regulations. Accordingly, RG 5.13 and
RG 5.33 will be withdrawn concurrent
with any later issuance of DG–5056 in
final form, as DG–5056 would provide
the correct citations to the 10 CFR part
74 regulations.
The NRC’s guidance on the MC&A
requirements pertaining to the
performance, evaluation, and reporting
of physical inventories and material
balances at fuel cycle facilities is also
provided in the following NUREGs that
were issued in conjunction with the
1985–2002, MC&A rulemakings:
• NUREG–1280, ‘‘Standard Format
and Content Acceptance Criteria for the
Material Control and Accounting
(MC&A) Reform Amendment,’’
applicable to facilities using formula
quantities of strategic SNM.
• NUREG–1065, ‘‘Acceptable
Standard Format and Content for the
Fundamental Nuclear Material Control
(FNMC) Plan Required for Low-
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:20 Feb 23, 2017
Jkt 241001
Enriched Uranium Facilities,’’
applicable to fuel fabrication facilities
using low-enriched uranium.
• NUREG/CR–5734,
‘‘Recommendations to the NRC on
Acceptable Standard Format and
Content for the Fundamental Nuclear
Material Control (FNMC) Plan Required
for Low-Enriched Uranium Enrichment
Facilities,’’ applicable to uranium
enrichment plants.
This DG–5056 incorporates guidance
from these NUREGs that relates to
physical inventories and material
balances for SNM. In addition to
providing guidance on these topics, the
NUREGs listed above cover other MC&A
requirements as well. Accordingly,
these NUREGs would not be withdrawn
when DG–5056 is issued in final form.
III. Backfitting and Issue Finality
Issuance of DG–5056 in final form
would not constitute backfitting as
defined in 10 CFR 70.76 or violate the
issue finality provisions of part 52 for
several reasons. First, many of the
provisions in the guidance are only
updated to reflect the codification of
several MC&A provisions in part 74
from part 70, and do not represent
substantive changes. Second, DG–5056
would incorporate relevant guidance
from NUREG–1280, NUREG–1065, and
NUREG/CR–5734 and associated
rulemakings without making
substantive changes to those positions;
these rulemakings and guidance
considered the backfitting implications
of any new positions, as appropriate,
upon their issuance. Finally, as
discussed in the ‘‘Implementation’’
section of DG–5056, applicants and
licensees may voluntarily use its
guidance to demonstrate compliance
with the part 74 MC&A regulations
pertaining to the performance,
evaluation, and reporting of physical
inventories and material balances.
Alternate methods of demonstrating
such compliance may be deemed
acceptable if they provide sufficient
basis and information for the NRC staff
to verify that the proposed alternative
demonstrates compliance with the
relevant NRC regulations.
Accordingly, the issuance of this
guidance in final form would not
constitute a ‘‘new’’ or ‘‘different’’ staff
position within the definition of
‘‘backfitting’’ in 10 CFR 70.76 or the
issue finality provisions in part 52.

RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD
Agency Forms Submitted for OMB
Review, Request for Comments
In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the Railroad
Retirement Board (RRB) is forwarding 4
Information Collection Requests (ICR) to
the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs (OIRA), Office of Management
and Budget (OMB). Our ICR describes
the information we seek to collect from
the public. Review and approval by
OIRA ensures that we impose
appropriate paperwork burdens.
The RRB invites comments on the
proposed collections of information to
determine (1) the practical utility of the
collections; (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden of the collections; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information that is the
SUMMARY:
subject of collection; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of collections on
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Comments to the RRB or OIRA must
contain the OMB control number of the
ICR. For proper consideration of your
comments, it is best if the RRB and
OIRA receive them within 30 days of
the publication date.
1. Title and purpose of information
collection: Placement Service; OMB
3220–0057. Section 12(i) of the Railroad
Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA),
authorizes the RRB to establish,
maintain, and operate free employment
offices to provide claimants for
unemployment benefits with job
placement opportunities. Section 704(d)
of the Regional Railroad Reorganization
Act of 1973, as amended, and as
extended by the Consolidated Omnibus
Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985,
required the RRB to maintain and
distribute a list of railroad job vacancies,
by class and craft, based on information
furnished by rail carriers to the RRB.
Although the requirement under the law
expired effective August 13, 1987, the
RRB has continued to obtain this
information in keeping with its
employment service responsibilities
under Section 12(k) of the RUIA.
Application procedures for the job
placement program are prescribed in 20
CFR 325. The procedures pertaining to
the RRB’s obtaining and distributing job
vacancy reports furnished by rail
carriers are described in 20 CFR 346.1.
The RRB currently utilizes four forms
to obtain information needed to carry
out its job placement responsibilities.
Form ES–2, Central Register
Notification, is used by the RRB to
obtain information needed to update a
computerized central register of
separated and furloughed railroad
employees available for employment in
the railroad industry. Forms ES–21,
Referral to State Employment Service,
Information Collection Request (ICR)
Title: Placement Service.
OMB Control Number: 3220–0057.
Form(s) submitted: ES–2, ES–21, ES–
21c, UI–35 and Job Vacancies Report.
Type of request: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
Affected public: Private Sector,
Businesses or other for-profits;
Individuals or Households; State, Local,
and Tribal Governments.
Abstract: Under the RUIA, the
Railroad Retirement Board provides job
placement assistance for unemployed
railroad workers. The collection obtains
information from job applicants,
railroad employers, and State
Employment Service offices for use in
placement, for providing referrals for job
openings, reports of referral results and
for verifying and monitoring claimant
eligibility.
Changes proposed: The RRB proposes
no revisions to the forms in the
collection.
The burden estimate for the ICR is as
follows:
Annual
responses
Form No.
asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
and ES–21c, Report of State
Employment Service Office, are used by
the RRB to provide placement assistance
for unemployed railroad employees
through arrangements with State
Employment Service offices. Form UI–
35, Field Office Record of Claimant
Interview, is used primarily by the RRB
to conduct in-person interviews of
claimants for unemployment benefits.
Completion of these forms is required
to obtain or maintain a benefit. In
addition, the RRB also collects Railroad
Job Vacancies information received
voluntarily from railroad employers.
Previous Requests for Comments: The
RRB has already published the initial
60-day notice (81 FR 89521 on
December 12, 2016) required by 44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited
no comments.
