Overview of This Information
Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection:
Reinstatement, without change, of a
previously approved collection for
which approval has expired
(2) Title of the Form/Collection: The
National Instant Criminal Background
Check System (NICS) Voluntary Appeal
File (VAF) Brochure and the online
application process.
(3) Agency form number: 1110–0043.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Primary: Potential firearm
purchasers. If a potential purchaser is
delayed or denied a firearm and
successfully appeals the decision, the
NICS Section cannot retain a record of
the overturned appeal or the supporting
E:\FR\FM\12JNN1.SGM
12JNN1
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 113 / Wednesday, June 12, 2019 / Notices
documentation. If the record is not able
to be updated or the fingerprints are
non-identical to a disqualifying record
used in the evaluation, the purchaser
continues to be delayed or denied, and
if that individual appeals the decision,
the documentation/information (e.g.,
fingerprint cards, court records,
pardons, etc.) must be resubmitted for
every subsequent purchase. The VAF
was established per 28 CFR, Part
25.10(g), for this reason. By this process,
applicants can voluntarily request the
NICS Section maintain information
about themselves in the VAF to prevent
future extended delays or denials of a
firearm transfer.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: It is estimated the time it takes
to read, complete, and upload
documents is 30 minutes. Travel time to
the fingerprinting facility and post office
is not factored in the time estimate. The
NICS Section estimates 4,000
respondents yearly.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: With 4,000 applicants
responding, the formula for applicant
burden hours would be as follows:
(4,000 respondents × .5 hours) = 2,000
hours.

Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Settlement Agreement Under the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act
On June 5, 2019, a proposed
Settlement Agreement (‘‘Agreement’’)
was lodged with the Circuit Court of
Cook County, Illinois in In the Matter of
the Rehabilitation of Centaur Insurance
Company, No. 87 CH 8615, entered into
by the United States, on behalf of the
United States Environmental Protection
Agency (‘‘EPA’’), the Department of the
Interior (‘‘DOI’’), the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration of the
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
Department of Commerce (‘‘NOAA’’),
and Robert H. Muriel, Acting Director of
the Illinois Department of Insurance,
who acts as the Rehabilitator of Centaur
Insurance Company (‘‘Rehabilitator’’).
The Centaur Insurance Company
(‘‘Centaur’’) is an insurance company in
rehabilitation under the jurisdiction of
the Circuit Court of Cook County,
Illinois County Department, Chancery
Division. In November, 2017, the United
States filed a proof of claim (‘‘POC’’)
under Section 205 of the Illinois
Insurance Code, 215 ILSC 5/205, which
provides that claims may be filed
against insurance companies in
receivership by persons with liability
claims against insureds covered by the
companies’ policies. The United States,
on behalf of EPA, filed a $500,000 claim
under a 1980 Centaur policy issued to
the Sharon Steel Corporation (‘‘Sharon
Steel’’) with a limit of $500,000. The
POC alleged that Sharon Steel is liable
for response costs incurred or to be
incurred by EPA at the Sharon Steel
Superfund Site in Farrell and
Hermitage, Pennsylvania, under Section
107 of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act
(‘‘CERCLA’’), 42 U.S.C. 9607. The
United States, on behalf of DOI and
NOAA, filed a $1.25 million claim
under a 1982 Centaur policy issued to
LCP Chemicals & Plastics, Inc. (‘‘LCP’’),
which has a remaining policy limit of
$1.25 million. The POC alleged that LCP
is liable under Section 107 of CERCLA
for assessment costs and natural
resource damages related to hazardous
substances that migrated from the LCP
Superfund Site in Linden, New Jersey to
Piles Creek. Finally, the United States,
on behalf of EPA and DOI, filed a $10
million claim under two Centaur
policies issued in 1980 and 1981,
respectively, to Avtex Fibers, Inc.
(‘‘Avtex Fibers’’), each with a limit of $5
million. The POC alleged that Avtex
Fibers is liable under Section 107 of
CERCLA with respect to response costs
incurred or to be incurred by EPA as
well as assessment costs and natural
resource damages at the Avtex Fibers
Site in Front Royal, Virginia.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the
Rehabilitator will (a) resolve the claim
filed under the policy issued to Sharon
Steel by making a $500,000 payment to
EPA, (b) resolve the claim filed under
the policy issued to LCP by making a
payment of $967,000 to NOAA and
$33,000 to DOI, and, (c) resolve the
claim filed under the policies issued to
Avtex Fibers by making a $4,330,000
payment to EPA and a $670,000
payment to DOI.

Under the Agreement the United
States is providing a covenant not to file
a civil action against the Rehabilitator or
Centaur with respect to (a) all liabilities
and obligations to DOI and NOAA
under the LCP Policy arising pursuant
to CERCLA at any site, (b) all liabilities
and obligations to EPA and DOI under
the Avtex Policies arising under
CERCLA at any site, and (c) all
liabilities and obligations to EPA under
the Sharon Steel Policy arising under
CERCLA at any site, whether such
liabilities and obligations are known or
unknown, reported or unreported, and
whether currently existing or arising in
the future. The covenant applies not
only to the Rehabilitator and Centaur,
but also to their respective subsidiaries,
affiliates, parent companies, successors
and assigns and their respective officers,
directors and employees.

Agreement. Comments should be
