Submission for Review: Representative Payee Application/Information Necessary for a Competency Determination, 59434-59435 [2021-23353]

Download as PDF 59434 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 205 / Wednesday, October 27, 2021 / Notices possession-only rights in the NRC licenses are: Southern California Edison Company (15.8 percent); El Paso Electric Company (15.8 percent); Southern California Public Power Authority (5.91 percent); and Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (5.7 percent). Although the ownership interests in Palo Verde would change, significant actions involving operation of the Palo Verde units require unanimity of all owners of Palo Verde. Currently, no entity owns 50 percent or more of the voting interests. The same would be true following the proposed transfers of the leased interests. Accordingly, after the effective date of the transactions, there would be no change in the control of operation of Palo Verde; APS would continue to make all technical decisions that do not require approval from all owners of Palo Verde. No physical changes or operational changes are proposed in the application. A notice of the application and opportunity to comment, request a hearing, and petition for leave to intervene on the application was published in the Federal Register (FR) on June 29, 2021 (86 FR 34282). The NRC did not receive any comments or hearing requests on the application. Under 10 CFR 50.80 and 10 CFR 72.50, no license for a production or utilization facility or ISFSI, or any right thereunder, shall be transferred, either voluntarily or involuntarily, directly or indirectly, through transfer of control of the license to any person, unless the Commission gives its consent in writing. Upon review of the information in the application, and other information before the Commission, the NRC staff has determined that PNM can transfer a 7.9333330 percent share of the undivided interests in Palo Verde, Unit 1, and a 0.7933333 percent share of the undivided interest in Palo Verde, Unit 2, to SRP. The proposed transferee is qualified to be the holder of the licenses and transfer of the licenses is otherwise consistent with applicable provisions of law, regulations, and orders issued by the Commission pursuant thereto. The findings set forth above are supported by an NRC staff safety evaluation dated the same date as this Order, which is available at ADAMS Accession No. ML21245A064. lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Dated: October 21, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) proposes to establish a new system of records titled, ‘‘OPM/Internal—25, Reasonable Accommodations Records.’’ This system of records covers OPM’s collection and maintenance of records on applicants for employment, employees, and other individuals who participate in OPM programs or activities who request or receive reasonable accommodations or other appropriate modifications from OPM for medical or religious reasons. Title V of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, prohibits discrimination in services and employment on the basis of disability, and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1974 prohibits discrimination, including on the basis of religion. These prohibitions on discrimination require Federal agencies to provide reasonable accommodations to individuals with disabilities and those with sincerely held religious beliefs unless doing so would impose an undue hardship. In some instances, individuals may request PO 00000 Frm 00076 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 59435 modifications to their workspace, schedule, duties, or other requirements for documented medical reasons that may not qualify as a disability but may necessitate an appropriate modification to workplace policies and practices. OPM may address those requests pursuant to the general authority of the Director contained in Title V of the United States Code. Reasonable accommodations may include, but are not limited to: Making existing facilities readily accessible to individuals with disabilities; restructuring jobs, modifying work schedules or places of work, and providing flexible scheduling for medical appointments or religious observance; acquiring or modifying equipment or examinations or training materials; providing qualified readers and interpreters, personal assistants, service animals; granting permission to wear religious dress, hairstyles, or facial hair or to observe a religious prohibition against wearing certain garments; considering requests for medical and religious exemptions to specific workplace requirements; and making other modifications to workplace policies and practices. OPM’s Office of Human Resources and OPM’s Human Resource Solutions program process requests for reasonable accommodations from employees and applicants for employment, respectively, who require an accommodation due to a medical or religious reason; OPM’s Human Resources also processes requests based on documented medical reasons that may not qualify as a disability but that necessitate an appropriate modification to workplace policies and practices. Other OPM offices may also receive such requests related to programs or activities for which they are responsible. The request, documentation provided in support of the request, any evaluation conducted internally, or by a third party under contract to OPM, the decision regarding whether to grant or deny a request, and the details and conditions of the reasonable accommodation are all included in this system of records. OPM has provided a report of this system of records to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of the House of Representatives, the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs of the Senate, and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) and OMB Circular A–108, ‘‘Federal Agency Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, and Publication under the Privacy Act,’’ dated December 23, 2016. This system will be included in the OPM inventory of record systems. E:\FR\FM\27OCN1.SGM 27OCN1
