public agency; however, the FLSA
contains exemptions that apply to
employees in certain types of
employment. See 29 U.S.C. 213, et al.
FLSA section 11(a) provides that the
Secretary of Labor may investigate and
gather data regarding the wages, hours,
or other conditions and practices of
employment in any industry subject to
the FLSA, and may enter and inspect
such places and such records (and make
such transcriptions thereof), question
such employees, and investigate such
facts, conditions, practices, or matters
deemed necessary or appropriate to
determine whether any person has
violated any provision of the FLSA. 29
U.S.C. 211(a).
Other Federal laws the WHD
administers provide similar authority.
These Acts include the: Walsh-Healey
Public Contracts Act (41 U.S.C. 38);
McNamara-O’Hara Service Contract Act
(41 U.S.C. 353(a)); Davis-Bacon Act (40
U.S.C. 3141 et seq., pursuant to
Reorganization Plan No. 14 of 1950, and
Related Acts); Consumer Credit
Protection Act (15 U.S.C. 1676); Migrant
and Seasonal Agricultural Worker
Protection Act (29 U.S.C. 1862(a));
Employee Polygraph Protection Act (29
U.S.C. 2004(a)(3)); Family and Medical
Leave Act (29 U.S.C. 2616(a));
Immigration and Nationality Act H–2A
program (8 U.S.C. 1188(g)); the
Immigration and Nationality Act H–2B
program (8 U.S.C. 1184(c)(14(B) and the
Immigration and Nationality Act H–1C
program (8 U.S.C. 1182(m)(2)(E)(ii)).
The regulatory provisions authorizing
the filing of complaints under these
laws and how the agency acts upon the
concerns can be found at 29 CFR 4.191,
5.6, 500.1(e), 501.1(c), 501.5, 801.7(a)(3),
825.401; 41 CFR 50–201.1202; and 20
CFR 655.1200(b).
WHD staff use Form WH–3 as a guide
for obtaining optional information from
complainants (e.g., current and former
employees, unions, and competitor
employers, self-reporting employers)
about alleged employer violations of the
labor standards provisions of the abovecited Acts. Complainants generally
provide the optional information
requested on the form to WHD staff over
the telephone or in-person. Where the
information provided does not support
a potential WHD enforcement action,
complainants are advised and referred
to the appropriate agency for further
assistance. When the WHD schedules a
complaint-based investigation, the
agency makes the completed Form WH–
3 part of the investigation case file. The
form is printed in both English and
Spanish.
The Wage and Hour Division (WHD)
uses this information to determine
VerDate Sep<11>2014
22:14 May 01, 2018
Jkt 244001
whether covered employers have
complied with various legal
requirements of the laws administered
by the Wage and Hour Division. The
WHD seeks a revision to this collection
associated with the new pilot self-audit
program titled: Payroll Audit
Independent Determination (PAID).
Under the PAID program, employers are
encouraged to conduct audits and, if
they discover minimum wage or
overtime violations, to self-report and
correct their mistakes. This ICR is being
submitted as a revision for approval for
the addition of the PAID pilot program.
II. Review Focus: The Department of
Labor is particularly interested in
comments which:
• 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;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
• 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;
• 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 submissions
of responses.
III. Current Actions: The Department
of Labor seeks an approval for the
revision of this information collection in
order to ensure effective administration
of the government contract programs.

DIRECTOR’S DECISION UNDER 10 CFR

I. Introduction
By e-mail to Mr. Victor M. McCree,
Executive Director for Operations, dated
February 8, 2017 (Agencywide Documents
Access and Management System (ADAMS)
Accession No. ML17061A127), Mr. Barry
Quigley filed a petition under Title 10,
‘‘Energy,’’ of the Code of Federal Regulations
(10 CFR) 2.206, ‘‘Requests for Action under
this Subpart.’’ Attachments to the petition are
located at ADAMS Accession Nos.
ML17061A126, ML17061A125, and
ML17061A124. The petitioner requested that
the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC or the Commission) take the following
actions against Exelon Generation Company,
LLC (Exelon), the licensee for Byron Station,
PO 00000
Frm 00092
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Unit Nos. 1 and 2, and Braidwood Station,
Units 1 and 2:
1. Issue a violation under 10 CFR Part 50,
‘‘Domestic Licensing of Production and
Utilization Facilities,’’ Appendix B, ‘‘Quality
Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants
and Fuel Reprocessing Plants,’’ Criterion III,
‘‘Design Control,’’ for deficiencies in the
analysis of record (AOR) for the main steam
isolation valve (MSIV) room pressurization
following a high-energy line break (HELB).
2. Issue a violation under 10 CFR Part 50,
Appendix B, Criterion XVI, ‘‘Corrective
Action,’’ for failure to update the AOR in a
timely manner.
3. Require Exelon to show that the
consequences of the secondary missiles
resulting from MSIV room pressurization do
not have adverse consequences.
4. Issue a Demand for Information under 10
CFR 2.204, ‘‘Demand for Information,’’ to
compare and contrast the behavior of Exelon
management as described in the petition with
the NRC’s policy statement on the attributes
of a safety-conscious work environment
(SCWE).
5. Use Exelon’s response to Item 4 above
as a basis on which to determine whether to
issue a ‘‘chilling effects’’ letter.
As the basis for the request, the petitioner
stated the following:
1. (a)—Break enthalpies used in the MSIV
room pressurization AOR are actually the
thermodynamic internal energy of the steam,
not the enthalpy. Because, in the range of
interest, the internal energy is about 13
percent less than the enthalpy, the energy
flow to the areas of concern is
nonconservative.
(b)—Steam flow from secondary piping is
neglected.
2. Corrective actions to resolve an issue in
the AOR are long overdue (8 years) and
improperly tracked.
3. A proposed revision to the AOR shows
that the MSIV room roof slabs will be ejected
by the high pressures in the MSIV rooms
becoming potential missiles.
4. Management dismissed information in
the updated final safety evaluation report
(UFSAR) that supported the concerns about
the AOR as ‘‘excessive detail’’ and directed
personnel to remove the information.
Management dismissed UFSAR internal
inconsistency related to the ‘‘Break Exclusion
Zone’’ without discussion or review and
stated that the information supporting the
concern could be deleted as an UFSAR
cleanup item. Recently, there was an
operability concern for which engineering
management maintained a position of
operability in the face of conflicting
information. The information that
engineering management relied on to support
operability was demonstrably irrelevant.
The petitioner met with the Office of
Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) Petition
Review Board (PRB) on April 13, 2017, to
clarify the basis for the petition. The NRC is
treating the transcript of this meeting
(ADAMS Accession No. ML17111A774) as a
supplement to the petition. In its
acknowledgement letter dated July 17, 2017
(ADAMS Accession No. ML17125A245), the
NRC informed the petitioner that Items 1, 2,
4, and 5 were accepted for review under 10
