The basis for withdrawal of RGs 5.28, 5.49, and 5.57 is available in ADAMS under Accession No(s). ML17055B973, ML17055B974, and ML17055B968, respectively. • NRC’s PDR: You may examine and purchase copies of public documents at the NRC’s PDR, Room O1–F21, One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Glenn Tuttle, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, telephone: 301– 415–7230, email: Glenn.Tuttle@nrc.gov, and Mekonen Bayssie, Office of Research, telephone: 301–415–1699, email: Mekonen.Bayssie@nrc.gov. Both are staff of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555– 0001. The NRC is withdrawing RGs 5.28, 5.49, and 5.57 because this guidance has been incorporated into RG 5.41, ‘‘Shipping, Receiving, and Internal Transfer of Special Nuclear Material,’’ (ADAMS Accession No. ML16348A213) and RGs 5.28, 5.49, and 5.57 are therefore no longer needed. These three RGs were issued by the NRC staff in the 1970s to 1980s to provide guidance that was considered acceptable for complying with the NRC’s regulations related to the shipment, receipt, and transfer of special nuclear materials. RG 5.41 is being issued to update the guidance that is being withdrawn. A notice issuing RG 5.41 has been published in this issue of the Federal Register (see Docket ID NRC–2016–0189). The withdrawal of RGs 5.28, 5.49, and 5.57 does not alter any prior or existing NRC licensing approval or the acceptability of licensee commitments made regarding the withdrawn guidance. Although RGs 5.28, 5.49, and 5.57 are withdrawn, current licensees referencing these RGs may continue to do so, and withdrawal does not affect any existing licenses or agreements. However, by withdrawing RGs 5.28, 5.49, and 5.57, the NRC no longer approves reliance upon such guidance in future requests or applications for NRC licensing actions. nlaroche on DSK30NT082PROD with NOTICES SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 25th day of May 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 4062 of the Employee Retirement 
Income Security Act of 1974 (``ERISA'') provides that the contributing 
sponsor of a single-employer pension plan and members of the sponsor's 
controlled group (``the employer'') incur liability (``employer

    Section 4062.6 of PBGC's employer liability regulation (29 CFR 
4062.6) requires a contributing sponsor, or member of the contributing 
sponsor's controlled group, that believes employer liability exceeds 30 
percent of the collective net worth of persons subject to liability in 
connection with a plan termination to so notify PBGC upon plan 
termination and to submit net worth information. This information is 
necessary to enable PBGC to determine whether, and to what extent, 
employer liability exceeds 30 percent of the collective net worth of 
the employer (which includes the contributing sponsor and all and 
members of the sponsor's controlled group).
    The collection of information under the regulation has been 
approved by OMB under control number 1212-0017 through May 31, 2017. 
PBGC is requesting that OMB extend its approval for another three 
years. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not 
required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays 
a currently valid OMB control number.

controlled group members per year will respond to this collection of 
information. PBGC further estimates that the average annual burden of 
this collection of information will be 12 hours and $4,440 per 
respondent, with an average total annual burden of 360 hours and
