Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 236 / Friday, December 9, 2022 / Notices
historically have been published in the
‘‘Notices’’ section of the Federal
Register.
Under the Federal Register Act (44
U.S.C. chapter 15), the Administrative
Committee of the Federal Register
issues regulations regarding publishing
documents in the Federal Register (see
1 CFR 1). Based on these governing
regulations, the Office of the Federal
Register (OFR) classifies agency
documents published in the Federal
Register in one of three categories: rules
and regulations, proposed rules, and
notices. The regulation establishing
document types is available in 1 CFR
5.9.
In accordance with the OFR’s request
that the NRC reclassify DGs and RGs,
these documents will henceforth be
published in the ‘‘Proposed Rules’’ or
‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section of the
Federal Register. This change is
effective immediately.
Dated: December 5, 2022.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Cindy K. Bladey,
Federal Register Liaison Officer, Office of
Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards.

In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) implementing regulations, and
the Government Paperwork Elimination

on September 18, 2017, for a new,

statutory changes and sought and
obtained emergency OMB/OIRA
processing of the new information
collection. The final rule authorizing
use of Form OSC–14 went into effect on
August 26, 2019, and OMB approval on
February 3, 2020, allows use of the
form, as revised, through March 2023.
This proposed information collection
seeks to extend OSC’s period of using
the form through 2026.
DATES: Written comments should be
received on or before February 7, 2023.

federal statutes: The Civil Service
Reform Act, the Whistleblower
Protection Act, the Hatch Act, and the
Uniformed Services Employment &
Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA).
OSC’s primary mission is to safeguard
the merit system by protecting federal
employees and applicants from
prohibited personnel practices,
especially reprisal for whistleblowing,
and to serve as a safe channel for
allegations of wrongdoing.

submits this proposed collection to
OMB for review pursuant to the
Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C.

replaces three separate forms OSC
previously used to collect the
information.

Federal employees, applicants for
PO 00000
Frm 00087
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

based on a review of recent OSC Annual
Reports and Congressional Budget
Justifications, and trends).

Estimated Average Amount of Time
for a Person to Respond Using Form
OSC–14: For prohibited personnel
practice and other prohibited activities
allegations, one hour and 15 minutes;
for whistleblower disclosures, one hour;

minutes to complete the form. OSC

completed by OSC employees during
the development of the collection form.
Estimated Annual Burden for Filing

Abstract: The electronic form must be
used to submit allegations of possible
prohibited personnel practices or other

eight miles.1 The transfer originally
covered 297 Post Office Box service

notice of its intent to transfer these 297
locations in the Federal Register at the
time of the Request.3
The Postal Service hereby provides
further notice that Post Office Box
service for locations within eight miles
of a competitor will be reassigned from
market dominant fee groups to
competitive fee groups effective January
22, 2023.
This notice also updates the Request
list to exclude 6 locations from the
originally proposed list of 297 which,
upon further review, were found to have
limited or no public access. There are
no other changes to the original list. The
remaining 291 locations are the same
and are still properly classified as
competitive based on their proximity to
a private sector competitor within eight
miles.
Documents pertinent to this request
are available at https://www.prc.gov,
Docket No. MC2022–46.
Communications are being sent to the
identified Postmasters of the locations;
and PO Box customers in the identified

their PO Boxes are now competitive
locations and include the additional
services. Additional internal and
external communications will be sent as

Transfer of Additional Post Office Box
Locations to Competitive Fee Group—ZIP
Code Listing
The following is a revised list of the
locations the Postal Service intends to
transfer based on the eight-mile criterion
established in Order No. 6234. The list is
sorted by ZIP Code in ascending numerical
order with geographical breaks and headers.
As indicated by the column headings, this
list provides the ZIP Code of the affected PO
Boxes (ZIP), the office name of the location
(OFFICE NAME), the city where the PO
Boxes are located (CITY), the current market
dominant fee group (CFG), and the new
competitive fee group (NFG). Please note that
there are more ZIP Codes than locations
covered by the request, because some
locations serve more than one ZIP Code.
These locations can be identified whenever
multiple ZIP Codes are listed for a single
office name.
