Download as PDF 13804 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 62 / Friday, March 30, 2018 / Notices construct and operate the CISF. If the NRC approves the license application, it would issue Holtec a specific license under the provisions of 10 CFR part 72, and Holtec would proceed with the proposed activities. Alternatives to the Proposed Action— other alternatives not listed here may be identified during scoping or through the environmental review process. VI. Scope of the Environmental Review The NRC staff is conducting a scoping process for the Holtec HI–STORE CISF EIS, which begins on the day this notice appears in the Federal Register. In accordance with 10 CFR 51.29, the NRC seeks public input to help the NRC determine the appropriate scope of the EIS, including significant environmental issues to be analyzed in depth, as well as those that should be eliminated from detailed study because they are peripheral or are not significant. The NRC staff is planning to publish information related to this action in newspapers serving the communities near the Holtec site, requesting information and comments from the public. Additionally, the NRC is planning to hold public scoping meetings to receive comments in person in accordance with 10 CFR 51.26. The dates, times, and locations for any meetings will be provided in a future Federal Register notice. After the close of the scoping period, the NRC staff will prepare a concise summary of its scoping process, the comments received, as well as the NRC’s responses. The Scoping Summary Report will be included in NRC’s draft EIS as an appendix and sent to each participant in the scoping process for whom the staff has an address. The Holtec HI–STORE CISF EIS will address the potential impacts from the proposed action. The anticipated scope of the EIS will consider both radiological and non-radiological impacts associated with the proposed project and its alternatives. The EIS will also consider unavoidable adverse environmental impacts, the relationship between short-term uses of resources and long-term productivity, and irreversible and irretrievable commitments of resources. The following resource areas have been tentatively identified for analysis in the EIS: Land use, transportation, geology and soils, water resources, ecological resources, air quality and climate change, noise, historical and cultural resources, visual and scenic resources, socioeconomics, public and occupational health, waste management, environmental justice, and cumulative impacts. This list is not intended to be exhaustive, nor is it a predetermination of potential environmental impacts. The EIS will describe the NRC staff’s approach and methodology undertaken to determine the resource areas that will be studied in detail and the NRC staff’s evaluation of potential impacts to those resource areas. The NRC encourages members of the public, local, State, Tribal, and Federal government agencies to participate in the scoping process. Written comments may be submitted during the scoping period as described in the ADDRESSES and SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of this document. Participation in the scoping process for the Holtec HI– STORE CISF EIS does not entitle participants to become parties to any proceeding to which the EIS relates. In addition to requesting scoping comments through this Federal Register notice, the NRC staff also intends to reach out to interested stakeholders, including other Federal and State agencies and Indian Tribes. The NRC staff seeks to identify, among other things, all review and consultation requirements related to the proposed action, and agencies with jurisdiction by law or special expertise with respect to any environmental impact involved or which is authorized to develop and enforce relevant environmental standards. The NRC invites such agencies to participate in the scoping process and, as appropriate, cooperate in the preparation of the EIS. The NRC staff will continue its environmental review of Holtec’s HI– STORE CISF license application, and with its contractor, prepare a draft EIS and, as soon as practicable, publish it for public comment. The NRC staff plans to have a public comment period for the draft EIS. Availability of the draft EIS and the dates of the public comment period will be announced in a future Federal Register notice. The final EIS will include NRC’s responses to public comments received on the draft EIS. VII.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 4007 of Title IV of the Employee 
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) requires pension plans 
covered under Title IV pension insurance programs to pay premiums to 
PBGC. All plans covered by Title IV pay a flat-rate per-participant 
premium. An underfunded single-employer plan also pays a variable-rate 
premium based on the value of the plan's unfunded vested benefits.
    Pursuant to section 4007, PBGC has issued its regulation on Payment 
of Premiums (29 CFR part 4007). Under Sec.  4007.3 of the premium 
payment regulation, the plan administrator of each pension plan covered 
by Title IV of ERISA is required to file a premium payment and 
information prescribed by PBGC for each premium payment year. Premium 
information must be filed electronically using ``My Plan Administration 
Account'' (``My PAA'') through PBGC's website except to the extent PBGC 
grants an exemption for good cause in appropriate circumstances, in 
which case the information must be filed using an approved PBGC form. 
Under Sec.  4007.10 of the premium payment regulation, plan 
administrators are required to retain records about premiums and 
information submitted in premium filings.
    Premium filings report (i) the flat-rate premium and related data 
(all plans), (ii) the variable-rate premium and related data (single-
employer plans), and (iii) additional data such as identifying 
information and miscellaneous plan-related or filing-related data (all 
plans). PBGC needs this information to identify the plans for which 
premiums are paid, to verify whether the amounts paid are correct, to 
help PBGC determine the magnitude of its exposure in the event of plan 
termination, to help track the creation of new plans and transfer of 
participants and plan assets and liabilities among plans, and to keep 
PBGC's insured-plan inventory up to date. That information and the 
retained records are also needed for audit purposes.
    The collection of information under the regulation has been 
approved by OMB through March 31, 2018, under control number 1212-0009. 
On January 24, 2018 (at 83 FR 3369), PBGC gave public notice that it 
intended to request extension of OMB approval of this collection of 
information for three years and invited public comment. No comments 
were received. 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.
    PBGC estimates that it will receive 23,700 premium filings per year 
from 23,700 plan administrators under this collection of information. 
PBGC further estimates that the annual burden of this collection of 
information is 10,439 hours and $16,392,500.

Deputy Assistant General Counsel for Regulatory Affairs, Pension
