SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Requests to Approve Conformed Wage
Classifications and Unconventional
Fringe Benefit Plans Under the DavisBacon and Related Acts and Contract
Work Hours and Safety Standards Act
information collection. Regulations 29
CFR part 5 prescribe labor standards for
federally financed and assisted
construction contracts subject to the
Davis Bacon Act (DBA), 40 U.S.C. 3141
et seq., the Davis-Bacon Related Acts
(DBRA), and labor standards for all
contracts subject to the Contract Work
Hours and Safety Standards Act
(CWHSSA), 40 U.S.C. 3701 et seq. The
DBA and DBRA require payment of
locally prevailing wages and fringe
benefits, as determined by the
Department of Labor (DOL), to laborers
and mechanics on most federally
financed or assisted construction
projects. 40 U.S.C. 3142(a)–(b) and 29
CFR 5.5(a)(1). The CWHSSA requires
the payment of one and one-half times
the basic rate of pay for hours worked
over forty in a week on most federal
contracts involving the employment of
laborers or mechanics. See 40 U.S.C.
3702(a) and 29 CFR 5.5(b)(1). The
requirements of this information
collection consist of: (A) Reports of
conformed classifications and wage
rates, and (B) requests for approval of
unconventional fringe benefit plans. See
40 U.S.C. 3141; 40 U.S.C. 3701.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless the OMB
under the PRA approves it and displays
PO 00000
Frm 00064
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
a currently valid OMB Control Number.
In addition, notwithstanding any other
provisions of law, no person shall
generally be subject to penalty for
failing to comply with a collection of
information that does not display a
valid Control Number. See 5 CFR
1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL obtains
OMB approval for this information
collection under Control Number 1235–
0023.
OMB authorization for an ICR cannot
be for more than three (3) years without
renewal, and the current approval for
this collection is scheduled to expire on
August 31, 2019. The DOL seeks to
extend PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3) more
years, without any change to existing
requirements. The DOL notes that
existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
February 28, 2019 (84 FR 6836).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section within thirty-(30) days of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register. In order to help ensure
appropriate consideration, comments
should mention OMB Control Number
1235–0023. The OMB is particularly
interested in comments that:
• 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:
• 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.
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• 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 submission of
responses.

issuance.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is considering an
exemption request from Arizona Public
Service Company to allow the Palo
Verde Nuclear Generating Station to
load spent fuel with a larger pellet
diameter than is authorized in the
MAGNASTOR® storage cask system in
Certificate of Compliance No. 1031,
Amendment No. 7. The NRC prepared
an environmental assessment (EA)
documenting its finding. The NRC
concluded that the proposed action
would have no significant
environmental impact. Accordingly, the
NRC staff is issuing a finding of no
significant impact (FONSI) associated
with the proposed exemption.
DATES: The EA and FONSI referenced in
this document are available on August

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The NRC is reviewing an exemption
request from Arizona Public Service
Company, dated July 5, 2019 (ADAMS
Accession No. ML19186A449). Arizona
Public Service Company is requesting
an exemption from the requirements of
title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR) §§ 72.212(a)(2),
72.212(b)(3), 72.212(b)(5)(i), 72.214, and
the portion of 72.212(b)(11) that requires
compliance with the terms, conditions,
and specifications of the Certificate of
Compliance No. 1015, for spent fuel
storage at the Palo Verde Nuclear
Generating Station independent spent
fuel storage installation.
Specifically, Arizona Public Service
Company requested an exemption to
load and store Combustion Engineering
spent fuel with a larger maximum pellet
diameter than authorized in
Amendment No. 7 of Certificate of
Compliance No. 1031 for the
MAGNASTOR® storage system.
II. Environmental Assessment
Summary
Under the requirements of §§ 51.21
and 51.30(a), the NRC staff developed
an environmental assessment (ADAMS
PO 00000
Frm 00065
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
44339
Accession No. ML19205A273) to
evaluate the proposed action, which is
for the NRC to grant an exemption to
Arizona Public Service Company to
allow loading and storage of spent fuel
with a larger maximum pellet diameter
than that is authorized in Amendment
No. 7 of the NAC International (NAC)
CoC No. 1031 for the MAGNASTOR®
storage system.
The EA defines the NRC’s proposed
action (i.e., to grant the exemption
request per 10 CFR 72.7) and the
purpose of and need for the proposed
action. Evaluations of the potential
environmental impacts of the proposed
action and alternatives to the proposed
action are presented, followed by the
NRC’s conclusion.
This EA evaluates the potential
environmental impacts of granting the
exemption to load and store spent fuel
with a maximum pellet diameter than
authorized in Certificate of Compliance
No. 1031, Amendment No. 7 in the
MAGNASTOR® storage system at the
Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station
site. The potential environmental
impact of using NRC-approved storage
casks was initially analyzed in the EA
for the rulemaking to provide for the
storage of spent fuel under a general
license on July 18, 1990 (55 FR 29181).
The environmental assessment for the
MAGNASTOR® storage system,
Certificate of Compliance No. 1031,
Amendment No. 7, (82 FR 25931) tiers
off the environmental assessment for the
1990 final rule.
NRC staff finds that the
environmental effects from this
exemption request is bounded by the EA
for Certificate of Compliance No. 1031,
Amendment No. 7, and that there will
be no significant environmental impacts
from the proposed action. The proposed
action does not change the types or
quantities of effluents that may be
released offsite, and it does not increase
occupational or public radiation
exposure. The request by Arizona Public
Service Company to increase the pellet
diameter without a corresponding
increase in the uranium oxide loading of
fuel assemblies will not result an
inadvertent criticality event. Therefore,
there are no significant radiological
environmental impacts associated with
the proposed action. There is no change
to the non-radiological effluents. The
proposed action will take place within
the site boundary and does not have
other environmental impacts. Thus, the
proposed action will not have a
significant effect on the quality of the
human environment. Therefore, the
environmental impacts of the proposed
action are no greater than those
described in the EA for the rulemaking
