VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:13 Nov 13, 2020 Jkt 253001 B. Submitting Comments The NRC encourages electronic comment submission through the Federal Rulemaking website (https:// www.regulations.gov). Please include Docket ID NRC–2020–0230 in your comment submission. The NRC cautions you not to include identifying or contact information that you do not want to be publicly disclosed in your comment submission. The NRC will post all comment submissions at https:// www.regulations.gov as well as enter the comment submissions into ADAMS. The NRC does not routinely edit comment submissions to remove identifying or contact information. If you are requesting or aggregating comments from other persons for submission to the NRC, then you should inform those persons not to include identifying or contact information that they do not want to be publicly disclosed in their comment submission. Your request should state that the NRC does not routinely edit comment submissions to remove such information before making the comment submissions available to the public or entering the comment into ADAMS. Additional Information The NRC is issuing for public comment a draft guide in the NRC’s ‘‘Regulatory Guide’’ series. This series was developed to describe methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific parts of the agency’s regulations, to explain techniques that the staff uses in evaluating specific issues or postulated events, and to describe information that the staff needs in its review of applications for permits and licenses. The DG, titled ‘‘Fire Protection for Nuclear Power Plants,’’ is temporarily identified by its task number, DG–1359 (ADAMS Accession No. ML20231A835). The draft guide DG–1359 is a proposed Revision 4 of RG 1.189. This revision of the guide (Revision 4) addresses new issues identified since the guide was previously revised and released in 2018. This includes incorporation of the latest guidance on fire-induced circuit failures, multiple high impedance failures, open secondary circuits on current transformers, and shorting switches. Updates also include partial endorsements of Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 00–01, ‘‘Guidance for Post Fire Safe Shutdown Circuit Analysis,’’ Revision 4, issued September 2016, and guidance based on NUREG/ CR–7150, ‘‘Joint Assessment of Cable Damage and Quantification of Effects from Fire (JACQUE–FIRE),’’ Volumes 1, PO 00000 Frm 00074 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 2, and 3 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML12313A105, ML14141A129, and ML17331B098.) The staff is also issuing for public comment a draft regulatory analysis (ADAMS Accession No. ML20231A874). The staff develops a regulatory analysis to assess the value of issuing or revising a regulatory guide as well as alternative courses of action. II. Backfitting, Forward Fitting, and Issue Finality DG–1359, if finalized, would provide the most recent guidance acceptable to the NRC staff for compliance with section 50.48(a) and (b) of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) and 10 CFR part 50, appendix R, ‘‘Fire Protection Program for Nuclear Power Facilities Operating Prior to January 1, 1979.’’ Issuance of DG–1359, if finalized, would not constitute backfitting, as that term is defined in 10 CFR 50.109, ‘‘Backfitting,’’ and as described in NRC Management Directive 8.4, ‘‘Management of Backfitting, Forward Fitting, Issue Finality, and Information Requests’’; constitute forward fitting, as that term is defined and described in Management Directive 8.4; or affect the issue finality of any approval issued under 10 CFR part 52. As explained in DG–1359, applicants and licensees would not be required to comply with the positions set forth in DG–1359. Dated: November 9, 2020. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

(TTY users may call the Federal relay service tollfree at 800–877–8339 and ask to be connected to 202–229–6563.) SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Sections 4041 and 4042 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (‘‘ERISA’’), 29 U.S.C § 1301–1461, govern the termination of single-employer defined benefit pension plans that are subject to Title IV of ERISA. A plan administrator may initiate a distress termination pursuant to section 4041(c), and PBGC may itself initiate proceedings to terminate a pension plan under section 4042 if PBGC determines that certain conditions are present. Section 506 of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:13 Nov 13, 2020 Jkt 253001 amended sections 4041 and 4042 of ERISA. These amendments require that, upon a request by an affected party, a plan administrator must disclose information it has submitted to PBGC in connection with a distress termination filing, and that a plan administrator or plan sponsor must disclose information it has submitted to PBGC in connection with a PBGC-initiated termination. The provisions also require PBGC to disclose the administrative record relating to a PBGC-initiated termination upon request by an affected party. PBGC estimates that approximately 70 plans will terminate as distress or PBGC-initiated terminations each year. PBGC further estimates that two participants or other affected parties of every nine distress terminations or PBGC-initiated terminations filed will annually make requests for termination information, or 2/9 of 70 (approximately 16 plans per year). PBGC estimates that the hour burden for each request will be about 20 hours. The total annual hour burden is estimated to be 320 hours (16 plans x 20 hours). PBGC expects that the staff of plan administrators and sponsors will perform the work inhouse and that no work will be contracted to third parties. Therefore, the annual cost burden is estimated to be $0. The existing collection of information was approved under OMB control number 1212–0065 (expires March 31, 2021). PBGC intends to request that OMB extend its approval of this collection of information for 3 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Sections 4041 and 4042 of the Employee 
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (``ERISA''), 29 
U.S.C Sec.  1301-1461, govern the termination of single-employer 
defined benefit pension plans that are subject to Title IV of ERISA. A 
plan administrator may initiate a distress termination pursuant to 
section 4041(c), and PBGC may itself initiate proceedings to terminate 
a pension plan under section 4042 if PBGC determines that certain 
conditions are present. Section 506 of the Pension Protection Act of 
2006 amended sections 4041 and 4042 of ERISA. These amendments require 
that, upon a request by an affected party, a plan administrator must 
disclose information it has submitted to PBGC in connection with a 
distress termination filing, and that a plan administrator or plan 
sponsor must disclose information it has submitted to PBGC in 
connection with a PBGC-initiated termination. The provisions also 
require PBGC to disclose the administrative record relating to a PBGC-
initiated termination upon request by an affected party.
    PBGC estimates that approximately 70 plans will terminate as 
distress or PBGC-initiated terminations each year. PBGC further 
estimates that two participants or other affected parties of every nine 
distress terminations or PBGC-initiated terminations filed will 
annually make requests for termination information, or 2/9 of 70 
(approximately 16 plans per year). PBGC estimates that the hour burden 
for each request will be about 20 hours. The total annual hour burden 
is estimated to be 320 hours (16 plans x 20 hours). PBGC expects that 
the staff of plan administrators and sponsors will perform the work in-
house and that no work will be contracted to third parties. Therefore, 
the annual cost burden is estimated to be $0.
    The existing collection of information was approved under OMB 
control number 1212-0065 (expires March 31, 2021). PBGC intends to 
request that OMB extend its approval of this collection of information 
for 3 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 soliciting public comments to--
     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 methodologies 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.
