SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background NUREG–2215 is the new consolidated SRP for Spent Fuel Dry Storage Systems and Facilities that was issued as a draft for public comment on February 15, 2017 (82 FR 52944), under docket number NRC–2017–0211. This SRP is used by staff to generate safety evaluation reports and certificate of compliances under part 72 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ‘‘Licensing Requirements for the Independent Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel, High-Level Radioactive Waste, and Reactor-Related Greater than Class C Waste,’’ for dry cask storage systems for general license facilities and for specific khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES Document description NUREG 1609—SRP for Transportation Packages for Radioactive Material.

NUREG–1536, NUREG–1567 and all applicable ISGs were consolidated into NUREG–2215. NUREG–2216 is the new consolidated SRP for Transportation Packages for Spent Fuel and Radioactive Material that was issued as a draft for public comment on August 16, 2019 (84 FR 42024), under docket number NRC– 2019–0132. This SRP is used by staff for evaluating package approvals under 10 CFR part 71, ‘‘Packaging and Transportation of Radioactive Material.’’ NUREG–1609, NUREG–1617, their respective supplements for mixed oxide fuels and tritium producing burnable absorber rods, and all applicable ISGs were consolidated into NUREG–2216. NUREG–1536 was the SRP for Dry Cask Storage Systems. NUREG–1567 was the SRP for Spent Fuel Dry Storage Facilities. NUREG–1609 was the SRP for Transportation Packages for Radioactive Material. NUREG–1617 was the SRP for Transportation Packages for Spent Nuclear Fuel. The ISG for Spent Fuel Storage and Transportation was a set of guidance documents for staff that clarify information or provide additional guidance to staff in specific areas that had evolved since the original issuance of the original SRPs. Staff determined that a consolidation of this information would streamline the review process for staff since the original SRPs, supplements, and ISGs (over 20 documents) were cumbersome for staff to reference as part of the review process. Further, this notice is specifically made so that the public are aware of the changes that took place in the NUREG Series Publications pertaining to the standard review process for spent fuel storage and radioactive material packaging.

[FR Doc. 2021–01966 Filed 1–28–21; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 7590–01–P RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD Agency Forms Submitted for OMB Review, Request for Comments In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) is forwarding an Information Collection Request (ICR) to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Our ICR describes the information we seek to collect from the public. Review and approval by OIRA ensures that we impose appropriate paperwork burdens. The RRB invites comments on the proposed collections of information to determine (1) the practical utility of the collections; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden of the collections; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information that is the subject of collection; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of collections on respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/isg/spent-fuel.html. Comments to the RRB or OIRA must contain the OMB control number of the ICR. For proper consideration of your comments, it is best if the RRB and OIRA receive them within 30 days of the publication date. Title and purpose of information collection: Availability for Work; OMB 3220–0164. Under Section 1(k) of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act (45 U.S.C. 231k), unemployment benefits are not payable for any day for which the claimant is not available for work. Under Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) regulation 20 CFR 327.5, ‘‘available for work’’ is defined as being willing and ready for work. A claimant is ‘‘willing’’ to work if willing to accept and perform for hire such work as is reasonably appropriate to his or her employment circumstances. A claimant is ‘‘ready’’ for work if he or she (1) is in a position to receive notice of work and is willing to accept and perform such work, and (2) is prepared to be present with the customary equipment at the location of such work within the time usually allotted. Under RRB regulation 20 CFR 327.15, a claimant may be requested at any time to show, as evidence of willingness to work, that reasonable efforts are being made to obtain work. In order to determine whether a claimant is; (a) available for work, and (b) willing to work, the RRB utilizes Forms UI–38, UI Claimant’s Report of Efforts to Find Work, and UI–38s, School Attendance Information Collection Request (ICR) Title: Availability for Work. OMB Control Number: 3220–0164. Form(s) submitted: UI–38, UI–38s, and ID–8k. Type of request: Extension without change of a currently approved collection. Affected public: Individuals or Households, Non-profit institutions. Abstract: Under Section 1(k) of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act, unemployment benefits are not payable for any day in which the claimant is not available for work. The collection obtains information needed by the RRB to determine whether a claimant is willing and ready to work. Changes proposed: The RRB proposes no changes to Forms UI–38, UI–38s, and ID–8k. The burden estimate for the ICR is as follows: Annual responses Form No. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES and Availability Questionnaire, to obtain information from the claimant and Form ID–8k, Questionnaire— Reinstatement of Discharged or Suspended Employee, from the union representative. One response is completed by each respondent. Previous Requests for Comments: The RRB has already published the initial 60-day notice (85 FR 76629 on November 30, 2020) required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited no comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    NUREG-2215 is the new consolidated SRP for Spent Fuel Dry Storage 
Systems and Facilities that was issued as a draft for public comment on 
February 15, 2017 (82 FR 52944), under docket number NRC-2017-0211. 
This SRP is used by staff to generate safety evaluation reports and 
certificate of compliances under part 72 of title 10 of the Code of 
Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ``Licensing Requirements for the 
Independent Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel, High-Level Radioactive 
Waste, and Reactor-Related Greater than Class C Waste,'' for dry cask 
storage systems for general license facilities and for specific license 
facilities. NUREG-1536, NUREG-1567 and all applicable ISGs were 
consolidated into NUREG-2215.
    NUREG-2216 is the new consolidated SRP for Transportation Packages 
for Spent Fuel and Radioactive Material that was issued as a draft for 
public comment on August 16, 2019 (84 FR 42024), under docket number 
NRC-2019-0132. This SRP is used by staff for evaluating package 
approvals under 10 CFR part 71, ``Packaging and Transportation of 
Radioactive Material.'' NUREG-1609, NUREG-1617, their respective 
supplements for mixed oxide fuels and tritium producing burnable 
absorber rods, and all applicable ISGs were consolidated into NUREG-
2216.
    NUREG-1536 was the SRP for Dry Cask Storage Systems. NUREG-1567 was 
the SRP for Spent Fuel Dry Storage Facilities. NUREG-1609 was the SRP 
for Transportation Packages for Radioactive Material. NUREG-1617 was 
the SRP for Transportation Packages for Spent Nuclear Fuel.
    The ISG for Spent Fuel Storage and Transportation was a set of 
guidance documents for staff that clarify information or provide 
additional guidance to staff in specific areas that had evolved since 
the original issuance of the original SRPs.
    Staff determined that a consolidation of this information would 
streamline the review process for staff since the original SRPs, 
supplements, and ISGs (over 20 documents) were cumbersome for staff to 
reference as part of the review process. Further, this notice is 
specifically made so that the public are aware of the changes that took 
place in the NUREG Series Publications pertaining to the standard 
review process for spent fuel storage and radioactive material 
packaging.
