CA–5b to request clarification of any
information that is unclear and
incomplete in the CA–5b. The Form
Letter ‘‘Compensation Due at Death’’ is
used to request information necessary to
distribute compensation due when an
employee dies who was receiving or
who was entitled to compensation at the
time of death for either disability
benefits or a scheduled award. The
Form Letter ‘‘Student Dependency’’ is
used to obtain information regarding the
student status of a dependent. When a
child reaches 18 years of age, they are
no longer considered an eligible
dependent unless they are a full time
student or incapable of self-support.
This information collection is currently
approved for use through July 31, 2023.
This information collection is
authorized by 5 CFR 1320.3(c)(3) and 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 under the PRA 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 Control Number. See 5 CFR
1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
Interested parties are encouraged to
provide comments to the contact shown
in the ADDRESSES section. Written
comments will receive consideration,
and summarized and included in the
request for OMB approval of the final
ICR. In order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
mention 1240–0013.
Submitted comments will also be a
matter of public record for this ICR and
posted on the internet, without
redaction. The DOL encourages
commenters not to include personally
identifiable information, confidential
business data, or other sensitive
statements/information in any
comments.
The DOL is particularly interested in
comments that:
• 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
methodology 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.

occur.
6. Who will be required or asked to
respond: Individual directors and
responsible officers of firms
constructing, owning, operating, or
supplying the basic components of any
facility or activity licensed under the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended,

1974, as amended, to report
immediately to the NRC the discovery of

defects in basic components or failures
to comply that could create a substantial
safety hazard.
7. The estimated number of annual
responses: 755 responses (43 reporting
responses + 357 third party disclosure
response + 355 recordkeepers).
8. The estimated number of annual
respondents: 355.
9. The estimated number of hours
needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or
request: 28,975 (3,407 reporting hours +

10. Abstract: Part 21 of title 10 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR),
requires each individual, corporation,
partnership, commercial grade
dedicating entity, or other entity subject
to the regulations in this part to adopt
appropriate procedures to evaluate
deviations and failures to comply to
determine whether a defect exists that
could result in a substantial safety
hazard. Depending upon the outcome of
the evaluation, a report of the defect
must be submitted to the NRC. Reports
submitted under 10 CFR part 21 are
reviewed by the NRC staff to determine
whether the reported defects or failures
to comply in basic components at the
NRC licensed facilities or activities are
potentially generic safety problems.
These reports have been the basis for the
issuance of numerous NRC Generic
Communications that have contributed
to the improved safety of the nuclear
industry. The records required to be
maintained in accordance with 10 CFR
part 21 are subject to inspection by the
NRC to determine compliance with the
subject regulation.
III. Specific Requests for Comments
The NRC is seeking comments that
address the following questions:
1. Is the proposed collection of
information necessary for the NRC to
properly perform its functions? Does the
information have practical utility?
Please explain your answer.
2. Is the estimate of the burden of the
information collection accurate? Please
explain your answer.
3. Is there a way to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected?
4. How can the burden of the
information collection on respondents
be minimized, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology?
5. Are the current burden estimates
for recordkeeping accurate given that
records must be retained for longer than
three years (for example, entities
providing a certified design or design
approval under Part 52 retain any

II. Introduction
The NRC is issuing License
Amendment No. 189 to COL NPF–91.
With the requested amendment, SNC
sought proposed changes to COL,
Appendix A, Technical Specifications
(TS) in an application dated January 12,
2023, titled, ‘‘Emergency License
Amendment Request: Technical
Specification (TS) Limiting Conditions
for Operation (LCO) 3.4.11, 3.4.12, and
3.4.13 Operability Requirements for
Automatic Depressurization System
(ADS) Stage 4 Flow Paths Prior to Initial
Criticality,’’ designated as license
amendment request (LAR) 23–002.
Specifically, the changes add Notes to
the TS that details the specific
conditions under which the specified
LCOs would not apply to ADS stage 4
flow paths. The licensee requested the
changes to facilitate rework of two
piping supports on the ‘‘B’’ and ‘‘D’’
ADS stage 4 lines. If the rework was
performed under the current TS, it
would require shutdown and cooldown
actions that may take additional time,
require reduction in operating mode,
and possibly require additional actions.
The letter to SNC, the NRC safety
evaluation, and the amendment
document are available in ADAMS
under Package Accession No.
ML23013A214.

utility? Please explain your answer.
2. Is the estimate of the burden of the information collection
accurate? Please explain your answer.
3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected?
4. How can the burden of the information collection on respondents
be minimized, including the use of automated collection techniques or

notifications sent to purchasers and affected licensees for a minimum
of 5 years after the date of the notification, and retain a record of
the purchasers for 15 years after delivery of the design)? Please
