4 as shown by the rail sensitivity case
in this study (e.g., the GA–4 truck spent
fuel transport can hold four PWR fuel
assemblies, which would reduce the
PWR cumulative doses by a factor of 4).
The NRC staff found total accidental
population risk per year due to transport
of spent ATF, including spent ATF with
increased enrichment and higher
burnup levels, continued to demonstrate
the low risks from both radiological and
nonradiological accidents and is
consistent with past transportation
studies. The greater risk to a member of
the public would be physical harm from
an actual vehicle collision involving a
spent ATF shipment, if such an event
ever happens. While the nonradiological
risk is the greater risk, the results of this
study demonstrate that those risks
would still not be significant and are
less than the common (nonradiological)
cause environmental risks of Table S–4.
The results for spent ATF with
increased enrichment and higher
burnup are consistent with the
environmental impacts associated with
the transportation of fuel and
radioactive wastes to and from currentgeneration reactors presented in Table
S–4 of 10 CFR 51.52.
Based on the results of the impact
analysis, shipment of near-term ATF
technologies with enrichments of up to
8 (wt%) uranium-235 (U–235) and
higher burnup levels of up to 80
gigawatt days per metric ton of uranium
(GWd/MTU) would not significantly
change the potential impacts of either
incident-free or accident transportation
risk. Hence, the transportation impacts
of spent ATF are bounded by Table S–
4. Therefore, the results of this analysis
could serve as a reference in helping to
address the environmental impacts of
ATF licensing without a detailed sitespecific transportation analysis, as long
as the ATF is within the enrichment and
burnup levels with the associated fuel
assembly radionuclide inventory and
parameters applied in the analyses of
this proposed NUREG.
In the case of decommissioning, the
expected impacts from deployment and
use of ATF with increased enrichment
and higher burnup levels would be the
same as or slightly less than those from
decommissioning nuclear power plants
operating with the existing fuel.
Additionally, the expected
Decommissioning GEIS and guidance
updates could build upon the analysis
from this study to specifically address
the decommissioning of a LWR
deploying and using ATF.
Therefore, based on findings in this
study, the NRC staff concludes that the
reevaluated findings addressing nearterm ATF technologies (i.e., coated
VerDate Sep<11>2014

cladding, doping, and FeCrAl cladding)
indicate the environmental effects
associated with deploying and using
ATF would be bounded by the NRC
staff’s prior analysis with enrichments
up to 8 wt% U–235 and extending peakrod burnup to 80 GWd/MTU for the
uranium fuel cycle, transportation of
fuel and waste, and decommissioning.
Additionally, if in a future licensing
action, the enrichment and burnup
levels are greater than 8 wt% U–235 and
80 GWd/MTU, respectively, and for the
deployment and use of long-term ATF
technologies, the study could provide
guidance for completing the needed
revised analysis.
As the NRC staff continues to prepare
to review license applications related to
ATF technologies and fuel with
increased enrichment and higher
burnup levels, the NRC staff will
evaluate new industry developments
and other activities before publishing
the final NUREG to consider further
refinements of the ATF environmental
evaluation. For example, such new
information could include results from
ongoing licensing actions regarding the
use of higher enrichment levels in fuel
fabrication (ADAMS Accession No.
ML22175A070).
III. Specific Requests for Comments
The NRC is seeking advice and
recommendations from the public on
the draft NUREG. We are particularly
interested in comments and supporting
rationale from the public on the
following:
Transportation Accident Release
Fractions
1. Previous transportation accident
analyses have relied upon the use of
release fractions in Table 7.31 from
NUREG/CR–6672, ‘‘Reexamination of
Spent Fuel Shipment Risk Estimates,’’
(ADAMS Accession No. ML003698324)
for burnup levels up to 60 GWd/MTU.
By subjecting LWR nuclear fuel to
higher burnup levels, the radionuclide
inventory available to be released is
greater and material issues such as
cladding embrittlement, fuel
fragmentation, and additional
diffusional release of fission products
are expected to result in greater release
fractions than assessed in NUREG/CR–
6672. Therefore, Appendix B of the draft
NUREG assessed the potential effects
due to higher radiological material
release fractions from the physical
effects of higher burnup levels on the
fuel pin cladding and the uranium fuel
pellets.
The NRC is seeking comment on the
use of release fractions developed in
Appendix B of the draft NUREG for

RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD
Agency Forms Submitted for OMB
Review, Request for Comments
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
chapter 35), the Railroad Retirement
Board (RRB) is forwarding 4 Information
Collection Requests (ICR) to the Office
of Information and Regulatory Affairs
(OIRA), Office of Management and
Budget (OMB). Our ICR describes the
information we seek to collect from the
public. Review and approval by OIRA
ensures that we impose appropriate
paperwork burdens.
The RRB invites comments on the
proposed collections of information to
determine (1) the practical utility of the
collections; (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden of the collections; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information that is the
subject of collection; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of collections on
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Comments to the RRB or OIRA must
contain the OMB control number of the
ICR. For proper consideration of your
comments, it is best if the RRB and
OIRA receive them within 30 days of
the publication date.
1. Title and Purpose of information
collection: Certification Regarding
Rights to Unemployment Benefits; OMB
3220–0079.
60511
Under section 4 of the Railroad
Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA)
(45 U.S.C. 354), an employee who leaves
work voluntarily is disqualified for
unemployment benefits unless the
employee left work for good cause and
is not qualified for unemployment
benefits under any other law. RRB Form
UI–45, Claimant’s Statement—
Voluntary Leaving of Work, is used by
the RRB to obtain the claimant’s
statement when the claimant, the
claimant’s employer, or another source
indicates that the claimant has
voluntarily left work.
Completion of Form UI–45 is required
to obtain or retain benefits. One
response is received from each
respondent.
Previous Requests for Comments: The
RRB has already published the initial
60-day notice (88 FR 41993 on June 28,
2023) required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2).
That request elicited no comments.
Information Collection Request (ICR)
Title: Certification Regarding Rights to
Unemployment Benefits.
OMB Control Number: 3220–0079.
Form(s) submitted: UI–45.
Type of request: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
Affected public: Individuals or
households.
Abstract: In administering the
disqualification for the voluntary
leaving of work provision of Section 4
of the Railroad Unemployment
Insurance Act, the Railroad Retirement
Board investigates an unemployment
claim that indicates the claimant left
voluntarily. The certification obtains
information needed to determine if the
leaving was for good cause.
Changes proposed: The RRB proposes
no changes to Form UI–45.

2. Title and Purpose of information
collection: Self-Employment and
Substantial Service Questionnaire; OMB
3220–0138.
Section 2 of the Railroad Retirement
Act (RRA) (45 U.S.C. 231a) provides for
payment of annuities to qualified
employees and their spouses. In order to
receive an age and service annuity,
section 2(e)(3) states that an applicant
must stop all railroad work and give up
any rights to return to such work.
However, applicants are not required to
stop nonrailroad work or selfemployment.
