interest-bearing marketable securities of
the United States which, at the time the
computation is made, have terms of 15
years or more remaining to maturity
(average yield is rounded to nearest oneeighth percent); and (2) provide that the
rate will not be raised or lowered more
than one-quarter of 1 percent for any
year. The U.S. Department of the
Treasury calculated the specified
average to be 2.7118 percent. This rate,
rounded to the nearest one-eighth
percent, is 2.750 percent, which is a
change of less than the allowable onequarter of 1 percent. Therefore, the
fiscal year 2018 rate is 2.750 percent.
The rate of 2.750 percent will be used
by all Federal agencies in the
formulation and evaluation of water and
related land resources plans for the
purpose of discounting future benefits
and computing costs or otherwise
converting benefits and costs to a
common-time basis.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks approval under the PRA for
revisions to the Consumer Expenditure
Surveys: Quarterly Interview and Diary.
The BLS uses the Consumer
Expenditure Surveys to gather
information on expenditures, income,
and other related subjects. The data is
updated periodically in the national
Consumer Price Index. In addition, the
data is used by a variety of researchers
in academia, government agencies, and
the private sector. The data is collected
from a national probability sample of
households designed to represent the
total civilian non-institutional
population. This revision request
includes the addition of a veterans
question, outlet questions, and a study
of the worksheet. The Census
Authorizing Statute and BLS
Authorizing Statute authorize this
information collection. See 13 U.S.C. 8b
and 29 U.S.C. 2.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL
obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
PO 00000

Number 1220–0050. The current
approval is scheduled to expire on June
30, 2019; however, the DOL notes that
existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. New
requirements would only take effect
upon OMB approval. For additional
substantive information about this ICR,
see the related notices published in the
Federal Register on August 8, 2017, 82
FR 37115, and December 1, 2017, 82 FR
56966.
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section within seven (7) days of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register. In order to help ensure
appropriate consideration, comments
should mention OMB Control Number
1220–0050. The OMB is particularly
interested in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.

Applications’’
AGENCY:
National Endowment for the

Notice of submission for OMB
review; comment request.
ACTION:
The National Endowment for
the Arts (NEA) has submitted the
following public information collection
request (ICR) to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval in accordance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995:
‘‘Acknowledgment of Rights-Holder for
Literature: Translation Projects
Applications.’’ Copies of this ICR, with
applicable supporting documentation,
may be obtained by visiting
www.Reginfo.gov.
DATES: Comments should be sent to
OMB’s Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs within thirty days of
this publication in the Federal Register.
ADDRESSES: Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Attn: OMB Desk
Officer for the National Endowment for
the Arts, Office of Management and

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Panel Operations, National Endowment

682–5504.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NEA’s
Literature: Translation Projects program
gives grants to translators of previously
written works which may be protected
by copyright. The NEA typically
requires that these applicants obtain
from the publisher the affirmative ‘‘right
to translate’’ the work (or, in cases that
do not apply to this request that the
work be in the public domain). Some
publishers, due to industry standard
practices, have refused to provide
applicants with the ‘‘right to translate’’
but do not object to the work being
translated. In order to ensure that these
otherwise qualified applicants are
eligible, the NEA proposes to use this
form in which a non-applicant rightsholder affirmatively acknowledges and
approves of the applicant’s project.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
[NRC–2017–0235]
Licensing Support Network Advisory
Review Panel: Revised Meeting Notice
Nuclear Regulatory
Commission.
ACTION: Notice of meeting; revised;
request for comments.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) will convene a
meeting of the Licensing Support
Network Advisory Review Panel
(LSNARP) on February 27–28, 2018, at
the NRC’s Headquarters Offices in Room
01C3, Three White Flint North Building,
11601 Landsdown Street, Rockville,
Maryland 20852. The NRC has revised
the meeting date from January 30–31 to
February 27–28, 2018, to allow more
time to evaluate options for the
potential reconstitution or replacement
of the Licensing Support Network
(LSN).
The meeting is being held to carry out
the NRC’s responsibilities under the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia Circuit’s decision in the case
In re Aiken County, 645 F.3d 428 (D.C.
Cir. 2011), and the Commission’s July
31, 2017, direction in the Staff
Requirements Memorandum associated
with COMSECY–17–0019 that a next
step in the Yucca Mountain licensing
process is for the NRC to initiate
information-gathering activities
regarding reinstituting or replacing the
LSN. The LSN, which was used to make
documentary material associated with
the Yucca Mountain adjudicatory
proceeding available to hearing
participants and the public, was
decommissioned when the adjudication
was suspended in 2011. The
information being collected will assist
the Commission in making efficient,
informed decisions concerning
appropriate means for reconstituting the
LSN’s functionality if the currentlysuspended Yucca Mountain
adjudication were to re-commence in
the future.
The meeting will be open to the
public pursuant to the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (FACA) (Pub. L. 94–463,
86 Stat. 770–776) and will be conducted
