SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
DOE and OSHA entered into a MOU
on August 10, 1992, delineating
regulatory authority over the
occupational safety and health of
contractor employees at DOE
government-owned or leased,
contractor-operated (GOCO) facilities. In
general, the MOU recognizes that DOE
exercises statutory authority under
section 161(f) of the Atomic Energy Act
of 1954, as amended, (42 U.S.C. 2201(f)),
relating to the occupational safety and
health of private-sector employees at
these facilities.
Section 4(b)(1) of the Occupational
Safety Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29
U.S.C. 653(b)(1), exempts from OSHA
PO 00000
Frm 00104

Sfmt 4703
authority working conditions with
respect to which other federal agencies
have exercised statutory authority to
prescribe or enforce standards or
regulations affecting occupational safety
and health. The 1992 MOU
acknowledges DOE’s extensive program
for the regulation of contractor health
and safety, which requires contractor
compliance with all OSHA standards as
well as additional requirements
prescribed by DOE, and concludes with
an agreement by the agencies that the
provisions of the OSH Act will not
apply to GOCO sites for which DOE has
exercised authority to regulate
occupational safety and health under
the Atomic Energy Act. The 1992 MOU
has expired.
In light of DOE’s policy emphasis on
privatization activities, OSHA and DOE
entered into a second MOU on July 25,
2000, that establishes interagency
procedures to address regulatory
authority for occupational safety and
health at specified privatized facilities
and operations on sites formerly
controlled by DOE. The July 25, 2000,
MOU covers facilities and operations on
lands no longer controlled by DOE,
which are not conducting activities for
or on behalf of DOE and where there is
no likelihood that any employee
exposure to radiation from DOE sources
would be 25 millirems per year (mrem/
yr) or more.
II. Notice of Transfer
In an email dated February 2, 2018,
DOE requested that OSHA or, as
appropriate, the Tennessee
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (TOSHA) accept
occupational safety and health
regulatory authority over employees at
the East Tennessee Technology Park in
Oak Ridge, Tennessee, six parcels of
land pursuant to the MOU on Safety and
Health Enforcement at Privatized
Facilities and Operations dated July 25,
2000. Other facilities and properties at
the East Tennessee Technology Park
were transferred to TOSHA jurisdiction
under this MOU by Federal Register
notices 74 FR 120 (January 2, 2009), 74
FR 39977 (August 10, 2009), 76 FR
80408 (December 23, 2011) and 79 FR
29456 (May 22, 2014).
The six parcels of land, which are
located at the East Tennessee
Technology Park in Oak Ridge,
Tennessee, and were transferred by
deed to the Community Reuse
Organization of East Tennessee (CROET)
are described as follows:
• Land Parcel ED–11 Consists of five
tracts of land separated by roadways:
ED–11A (11.67 acres), ED–11B (2.25
acres), ED–11C (0.49 acres), ED–11D
E:\FR\FM\11SEN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 176 / Tuesday, September 11, 2018 / Notices
(0.31 acres), and ED–11E (0.15 acres).
No buildings are included in this
transfer;
• Land Parcel ED–12 Consists of five
tracts of land separated by roadways:
ED–12A (5.88 acres), ED–12B (2.57
acres), ED–12C (1.75 acres), ED–12D
(2.99 acres), and ED–12E (0.16 acres).
No buildings are included in this
transfer;
• Land Parcel ED–3 Consists of two
tracts of land separated by roadways.
The southern tract (111 acres), and the
northern tract (2.5 acres). No buildings
are included in this transfer;
• Land Parcel ED–3 West Consists of
one tract of approximately 72 acres. No
buildings are included in this transfer;
• Land Parcel K–31 Consists of one
tract of approximately 61 acres. No
buildings are included in this transfer.
Any existing buildings will be destroyed
before the transfer takes place; and
• Land Parcel K–33 Consists of one
tract of approximately 136.4 acres. No
buildings are included in this transfer.
OSHA’s Regional Office in Atlanta,
Georgia, working with the OSHA
Nashville Area Office and TOSHA,
determined that TOSHA is willing to
accept authority over the occupational
safety and health of public-sector and
private-sector employees at the six
parcels of land at the East Tennessee
Technology Park in Oak Ridge,
Tennessee, that were transferred by
deed to CROET. In a letter from OSHA
to DOE dated May 21, 2018, OSHA
stated that TOSHA is satisfied with DOE
assurances that (1) there is no likelihood
that any employee at facilities in the
vicinity of these land parcels will be
exposed to radiation levels that will be
25 millirems per year (mrem/yr) or
more, and; (2) transfer of authority to
TOSHA is free from regulatory gaps and
does not diminish the safety and health
protection of the employees.
Accordingly, TOSHA accepts and
maintains health and safety regulatory
authority over employees in the vicinity
of Land Parcels ED–11, ED–12, ED–3,
ED–3 West, K–31 and K–33.

Records Schedules; Availability and
Request for Comments
National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA).
ACTION: Notice of availability of
proposed records schedules; request for
comments.
AGENCY:
The National Archives and
Records Administration (NARA)
publishes notice at least once monthly
of certain Federal agency requests for
records disposition authority (records
schedules). Once approved by NARA,
records schedules provide mandatory
instructions on what happens to records
when agencies no longer need them for
current Government business. The
records schedules authorize agencies to
preserve records of continuing value in
the National Archives of the United
States and to destroy, after a specified
period, records lacking administrative,
legal, research, or other value. NARA
publishes notice in the Federal Register
for records schedules in which agencies
propose to destroy records they no
longer need to conduct agency business.
NARA invites public comments on such
records schedules.
DATES: NARA must receive requests for
copies in writing by October 11, 2018.
Once NARA finishes appraising the
records, we will send you a copy of the
schedule you requested. We usually
prepare appraisal memoranda that
contain additional information
concerning the records covered by a
proposed schedule. You may also
request these. If you do, we will also
provide them once we have completed
the appraisal. You have 30 days after we
send to you these requested documents
in which to submit comments.
ADDRESSES: You may request a copy of
any records schedule identified in this
notice by contacting Records Appraisal
and Agency Assistance (ACRA) using
one of the following means: Mail: NARA
(ACRA); 8601 Adelphi Road; College
Park, MD 20740–6001, Email:

email at request.schedule@nara.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NARA
publishes notice in the Federal Register
for records schedules they no longer
need to conduct agency business. NARA
invites public comments on such
records schedules, as required by 44
U.S.C. 3303a(a).
Each year, Federal agencies create
billions of records on paper, film,
magnetic tape, and other media. To
control this accumulation, agency
records managers prepare schedules
proposing records retention periods and
submit these schedules for NARA’s
approval. These schedules provide for
timely transfer into the National
Archives of historically valuable records
and authorize the agency to dispose of
all other records after the agency no
longer needs them to conduct its
business. Some schedules are
comprehensive and cover all the records
of an agency or one of its major
subdivisions. Most schedules, however,
cover records of only one office or
program or a few series of records. Many
of these update previously approved
schedules, and some include records
proposed as permanent.
The schedules listed in this notice are
media neutral unless otherwise
specified. An item in a schedule is
media neutral when an agency may
apply the disposition instructions to
records regardless of the medium in
which it creates or maintains the
records. Items included in schedules
submitted to NARA on or after
December 17, 2007, are media neutral
unless the item is expressly limited to
a specific medium. (See 36 CFR
1225.12(e).)
Agencies may not destroy Federal
records without Archivist of the United
States’ approval. The Archivist approves
destruction only after thoroughly
considering the records’ administrative
use by the agency of origin, the rights
of the Government and of private people
directly affected by the Government’s
activities, and whether or not the
records have historical or other value.
In addition to identifying the Federal
agencies and any subdivisions

II. Notice of Transfer
In an email dated February 2, 2018, DOE requested that OSHA or, as
appropriate, the Tennessee Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (TOSHA) accept occupational safety and health regulatory
authority over employees at the East Tennessee Technology Park in Oak
Ridge, Tennessee, six parcels of land pursuant to the MOU on Safety and
Health Enforcement at Privatized Facilities and Operations dated July
25, 2000. Other facilities and properties at the East Tennessee
Technology Park were transferred to TOSHA jurisdiction under this MOU
by Federal Register notices 74 FR 120 (January 2, 2009), 74 FR 39977
(August 10, 2009), 76 FR 80408 (December 23, 2011) and 79 FR 29456 (May
22, 2014).
The six parcels of land, which are located at the East Tennessee
Technology Park in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and were transferred by deed
to the Community Reuse Organization of East Tennessee (CROET) are
described as follows:
Land Parcel ED-11 Consists of five tracts of land
separated by roadways: ED-11A (11.67 acres), ED-11B (2.25 acres), ED-
11C (0.49 acres), ED-11D
[[Page 45979]]
(0.31 acres), and ED-11E (0.15 acres). No buildings are included in
this transfer;
Land Parcel ED-12 Consists of five tracts of land
separated by roadways: ED-12A (5.88 acres), ED-12B (2.57 acres), ED-12C

acres. No buildings are included in this transfer. Any existing
buildings will be destroyed before the transfer takes place; and
Land Parcel K-33 Consists of one tract of approximately
136.4 acres. No buildings are included in this transfer.
OSHA's Regional Office in Atlanta, Georgia, working with the OSHA
Nashville Area Office and TOSHA, determined that TOSHA is willing to
accept authority over the occupational safety and health of public-
sector and private-sector employees at the six parcels of land at the
East Tennessee Technology Park in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, that were
