Download as PDF 43188 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 161 / Tuesday, August 20, 2019 / Notices Environmental Impacts of the Alternatives to the Proposed Action As an alternative to the proposed action, the NRC staff considered the denial of the proposed action (i.e., the ‘‘no-action’’ alternative). Denial of the exemption request would result in no change in current environmental impacts. The environmental impacts of the proposed action and the alternative action would be similar. Alternative Use of Resources There are no unresolved conflicts concerning alternative uses of available resources under the proposed action. Agencies or Persons Consulted No additional agencies or persons were consulted regarding the environmental impact of the proposed action. On August 14, 2019, the NRC notified the Commonwealth of Massachusetts representative of the EA and FONSI. III. Finding of No Significant Impact The requested exemption from 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8)(i)(A) would allow Holtec Pilgrim, LLC and HDI to use funds from the Trust for spent fuel management and site restoration activities. The NRC is considering issuing the requested exemption. The proposed action would not significantly affect plant safety, would not have a significant adverse effect on the probability of an accident occurring, and would not have any significant radiological or nonradiological impacts. The reason the human environment would not be significantly affected is that the proposed action involves an exemption from requirements that are of a financial or administrative nature that do not have an impact on the human environment. Consistent with 10 CFR 51.21, the NRC conducted the EA for the proposed action, and this FONSI incorporates by reference the EA included in Section II of this document. Therefore, the NRC concludes that the proposed action will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment. Accordingly, the NRC has determined there is no need to prepare an environmental impact statement for the proposed action. As required by 10 CFR 51.32(a)(5), the related environmental document is the ‘‘Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of IV.

TTY users may call the Federal relay service toll-free at 800–877–8339 and ask to be connected to 202–326–4400, extension 3559. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Annual reporting to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA), and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) is required by law for most employee benefit plans. For example, section 4065 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) requires annual reporting to PBGC for pension plans covered by title IV of ERISA. To accommodate these filing requirements, IRS, EBSA, and PBGC have jointly promulgated the Form 5500 Series, which includes the Form 5500 Annual Return/Report of Employee Benefit Plan and the Form 5500–SF Short Form Annual Return/ Report of Small Employee Benefit Plan. The collection of information has been approved by OMB under control number 1212–0057 through January 31, 2022. PBGC intends to request that OMB extend its approval, with modifications, for three years. 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 is proposing modifications to the 2020 Schedule R (Retirement Plan Information) and its related instructions. The proposed modifications to Schedule R affect multiemployer defined benefit plans covered by Title IV of ERISA. PBGC is also proposing minor modifications to the Form 5500 Series to improve the accuracy of reported information. Section 103(f)(2)(C) of ERISA requires that a multiemployer defined benefit plan include in its annual report, ‘‘[t]he number of participants under the plan on whose behalf no contributions were made by an employer as an employer of the participant for such plan year and for each of the 2 preceding plan years.’’ Line 14a of Schedule R requires the plan to report the participant counts for the current plan year’s filing. Lines 14b and 14c require the plan to report the participant counts for the previous two respective plan years. PBGC has found a majority of plans that are required to E:\FR\FM\20AUN1.SGM 20AUN1
