SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Occupational Requirements Survey (ORS) is a nationwide survey that the khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:16 Feb 07, 2022 Jkt 256001 Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is conducting at the request of the Social Security Administration (SSA). Estimates produced from the data collected by the ORS will be used by the SSA to update occupational requirements data for administering the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) programs. BLS is seeking approval to increase the ORS sample size for Fiscal Years 2022 and 2023 to mitigate the impacts of pandemic related non-response on survey estimates. To ensure sufficient data are collected to support final ORS estimates, BLS is now seeking approval to increase the ORS sample size for the group collected August 2022 through July 2023. New requirements would only take effect upon OMB approval. For additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on January 28, 2021 (86 FR 7422). 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 approves it and displays 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 OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection under Control Number 1220–0189. The current approval is scheduled to expire on August 31, 2024. Agency: DOL–BLS. Title of Collection: Occupational Requirements Survey. OMB Control Number: 1220–0189.

Water Sources for Long-Term Recirculation Cooling Following a 
Loss-of-Coolant Accident

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing for 
public comment draft regulatory guide (DG), DG-1385, ``Water Sources 
for Long-Term Recirculation Cooling Following a Loss-of-Coolant 
Accident.'' This DG is proposed Revision 5 to Regulatory Guide (RG)

also provides guidelines for evaluating the adequacy and the 
availability of the sump or suppression pool for long-term 
recirculation cooling following a loss-of-coolant-accident, and the use 
of containment accident pressure in determining the net positive 
suction head for the emergency core cooling and containment heat 
removal pumps. This proposed revision guidance applies to both the 
pressurized-water reactor (PWR) and boiling-water reactor (BWR) types 
of light-water reactors.

II. Additional Information

    The NRC is issuing for public comment a DG 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 ``Water Sources for Long-Term Recirculation Cooling 
Following a Loss-of-Coolant Accident,'' is temporarily identified by 
its task number, DG-1385 (ADAMS Accession No. ML21266A185). DG-1385 is 
proposed Revision 5 to RG 1.82, ``Water Sources for Long-Term 
Recirculation Cooling Following a Loss-of-Coolant Accident'' (ADAMS 
Package Accession No. ML21081A042). The proposed revision guidance, 
applicable to both the PWR and BWR types of light-water reactors, may 
be used to determine acceptable methods to meet the regulatory 
requirements for sumps and suppression pools that provide water sources 
for emergency core cooling, containment heat removal, or containment 
atmosphere cleanup systems for satisfying General Design Criterion 1, 
``Quality Standards and Records,'' as set forth in Appendix I, 
``Numerical Guides for Design Objectives and Limiting Conditions for 
Operation to Meet the Criterion `As Low as Is Reasonably Achievable' 
for Radioactive Material in Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Reactor 
Effluents,'' of part 50 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 
(10 CFR), ``Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization 
Facilities.''
    Changes are being made to provide guidance on the use of 
containment accident pressure in determining the net positive suction 
head margin for the emergency core cooling system and containment heat 
removal pumps. The proposed revision also incorporates new information 
regarding the effects of debris on long-term core cooling (LTCC) since 
Revision 4, (03/2012) of RG 1.82 was issued.
    The staff is also issuing for public comment a draft regulatory 
analysis (ADAMS Accession No. ML21266A186). The staff develops a 
regulatory analysis to assess the value of issuing or revising a 
regulatory guide as well as alternative courses of action.

III. Backfitting, Forward Fitting, and Issue Finality

    Issuance of DG-1385, if finalized, would not constitute backfitting 
as defined in 10 CFR 50.109, ``Backfitting,'' and as described in NRC 
Management Directive (MD) 8.4, ``Management of Backfitting, Forward 
Fitting, Issue Finality, and Information Requests''; constitute forward 
fitting as that term is defined and described in MD 8.4; or affect the 
issue finality of any approval issued under 10 CFR part 52.
