Proposed Submission of Information Collection for OMB Review; Comment Request; Partitions of Eligible Multiemployer Plans, 57706-57707 [2021-22628]

Download as PDF 57706 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 198 / Monday, October 18, 2021 / Notices and 10 CFR 30.3 and an associated WEC license amendment, allowing WEC to transfer and USEI to receive and dispose of 133,000 ft3 of calcium fluoride (CaF2) sludge containing byproduct and special nuclear material (low enriched uranium {<5wt% U–235}). The CaF2 to be disposed of is generated from CFFF site operations and previously stored in onsite lagoons. The lagoons are periodically dredged and the resulting CaF2 sludge is placed in piles on the site for drying prior to disposal. As proposed, this waste would be transported from CFFF in South Carolina to the USEI facility near Grand View, Idaho. The USEI facility is a RCRA Subtitle C hazardous waste disposal facility permitted by the State of Idaho. III. Discussion Pursuant to 10 CFR 70.17 and 10 CFR 30.11, the Commission may, upon application of any interested person or upon its own initiative, grant such exemptions from the requirements of 10 CFR part 70 and part 30 respectively, as it determines are authorized by law and will not endanger life or property or the common defense and security and are otherwise in the public interest. jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1 The Exemption Is Authorized by Law The proposal provides that the material described in this notice would be transported and disposed of in compliance with Federal, State, and local regulations. Specifically, the material will be removed from the site per WEC’s proposed disposal procedures and NRC license and State and local regulations. It will be shipped in accordance with U.S. Department of Transportation regulations to USEI. USEI, a RCRA Subtitle C disposal site, must obtain approval from the State of Idaho to receive and dispose of the material in accordance with its RCRA Subtitle C regulations in addition to the exemptions evaluated here. Therefore, such disposal is not otherwise contrary to NRC requirements, and is otherwise authorized by law. The Exemption Will Not Endanger Life, Property and Is Consistent With the Common Defense and Security NRC staff reviewed the information provided by WEC to support their 10 CFR 20.2002 alternate disposal request and the specific exemptions from 10 CFR 30.3 and 10 CFR 70.3 and associated license amendment in order to dispose of the described CaF2 sludge associated with cleanup activities at CFFF. The NRC staff concluded that the requested disposal of 133,000 ft3 of CaF2 sludge is acceptable under 10 CFR VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:28 Oct 15, 2021 Jkt 256001 20.2002. Details provided in this request, in combination with appropriate references to past approvals of similar procedures and material from the same site, provide an adequate description of the waste and the proposed manner and conditions of waste disposal. Lastly, because of the presence of SNM, the NRC evaluated potential criticality in its safety evaluation report and found no concerns. Therefore, the NRC concludes that issuance of the exemption will not endanger life, property, and is consistent with the common defense and security. The Exemption Is in the Public Interest Issuance of the exemptions to WEC and USEI is in the public interest because it provides for the efficient and safe disposal for the subject waste material, facilitates the decommissioning of the CFFF site consistent with the consent agreement between CFFF and the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, and conserves low-level radioactive waste disposal capacity at licensed low-level radioactive disposal sites while ensuring that the material being considered is disposed of safely in a regulated facility. Therefore, based upon the evaluation above, exemptions are appropriate pursuant to 10 CFR 30.11 and 10 CFR 70.17. IV. Environmental Considerations As required by 10 CFR 51.21, the NRC performed an environmental assessment (EA) that analyzes the environmental impacts of the proposed exemption in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and NRC implementing regulations in 10 CFR part 51. Based on the conclusions of the EA, the NRC staff has determined that there is no need to prepare an environmental impact statement for the proposed exemption and has issued a finding of no significant impact (FONSI). The EA and FONSI were published in the Federal Register on October 12, 2021 (86 FR 56729). V. Conclusions Accordingly, the Commission has determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR 70.17 and 10 CFR 30.11, exemptions for WEC and USEI are authorized by law, will not present an undue risk to the public health and safety, are consistent with the common defense and security, and are in the public interest. Therefore, the Commission hereby grants WEC and USEI exemptions from 10 CFR 70.3 and 10 CFR 30.3 to allow WEC to transfer 133,000 ft3 of CaF2 sludge from the WEC PO 00000 Frm 00074 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 CFFF for disposal at the USEI disposal facility located near Grand View, Idaho, and issues WEC a conforming license amendment. Dated: October 13, 2021. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Jacob I.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation 
(PBGC) intends to request that the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) extend approval, under the Paperwork Reduction Act, of a 
collection of information contained in its regulation on Partitions of 
Eligible Multiemployer Plans (29 CFR part 4233). This notice informs 
the public of PBGC's intent and solicits public comment on the 
collection of information.
    Sections 4233(a) and (b) of the Employee Retirement Income Security 
Act of 1974 (ERISA) allow a plan sponsor of a multiemployer plan to 
apply to PBGC for a partition of the plan and state the criteria that 
PBGC uses to determine a plan's eligibility for a partition.
    PBGC's regulation on Partitions of Eligible Multiemployer Plans (29 
CFR part 4233) sets forth the procedures for applying for a partition, 
the information required to be included in a partition application, and 
notices to interested parties of the application.
    PBGC needs the information to determine whether a plan is eligible 
for partition and whether a proposed partition would comply with the 
statutory conditions required before PBGC may order a partition.
    The collection of information under the regulation has been 
approved by OMB under control number 1212-0068 (expires February 1, 
2022). PBGC intends to request that OMB extend its approval for another 
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 estimates that each year there will be one application for a 
partition submitted by a plan sponsor under this regulation. The total 
estimated annual burden of the collection of information is 13 hours 
and $45,600.
    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.
