Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 207 / Friday, October 27, 2023 / Notices May 8, 2020, November 9, 2020, April 19, 2022, and May 19, 2022, the licensee proposed the unrestricted release and removal from License 24–00513–32 of the South Farm site. The site is approximately 60 m by 23 m (200 ft by 75 ft) and was operated as a chemical waste disposal facility between 1969 and 1972. The chemical waste disposed of at the South Farm site also included a radiological component. Need for the Proposed Action Approval of the proposed action would permit additional remediation of the site (soil) for non-radiological constituents at a later time and allow the NRC to fulfill its responsibilities under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (AEA), to ensure protection of the public health and safety and the environment by verifying that the site meets the requirements for unrestricted release in 10 CFR 20.1402, ‘‘Radiological criteria for unrestricted use.’’ Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Action The NRC’s evaluation of the proposed action is that the South Farm site will have minimal impacts on the environment to include future land use, geology and soils, water resources, ecology, air quality, and noise and will comply with NRC’s unrestricted release criteria pursuant to 10 CFR part 20, ‘‘Standards for Protection Against Radiation.’’ indicated that they did not have additional comments for consideration. Environmental Impacts of the Alternatives to the Proposed Action III. Finding of No Significant Impact As an alternative to the proposed action, the staff considered denial of the proposed action (i.e., the ‘‘no-action’’ alternative). An alternate approach is not to release the area for unrestricted use. The consequences could significantly limit the ability of the Curators of the University of Missouri to remediate the site for non-radiological constituents at a later time and allow the NRC to fulfill its responsibilities under the AEA to ensure protection of the public health and safety and the environment. Alternative Use of Resources The proposed action does not involve any different environmental resources beyond those considered in the final environmental statement. Agencies and Persons Consulted Between May 9, 2020, and May 19, 2022, the NRC staff consulted with the State of Missouri’s Radiological Control Department regarding the environmental impact of the proposed action. The State of Missouri’s Radiological Control Department made comments which were addressed by NRC staff. On May 19, 2022, the State The NRC staff has concluded that the proposed licensing action, to release the South Farm disposal area as designated by the Curators of the University of Missouri for unrestricted use, would not significantly affect the quality of the human environment. The NRC staff considered the impacts on land use, transportation, geology and soils, water resources, ecology, air quality, noise, historical and cultural resources, visual and scenic resources, socioeconomic resources, public and occupational health, and waste management and concluded that radiological doses to members of the public would be below applicable limits in 10 CFR part 20. On the basis of the EA, the NRC finds that there are no significant environmental impacts from the action, and that preparation of an environmental impact statement is not warranted. Accordingly, the NRC has determined that a FONSI is appropriate. In accordance with 10 CFR 51.32(a)(4), this FONSI incorporates the EA set forth in this notice by reference. IV.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Sections 4041 and 4042 of the Employee

U.S.C 1301-1461, govern the termination of single-employer defined 
benefit pension plans that are subject to title IV of ERISA. A plan 
administrator may initiate a distress termination pursuant to section 
4041(c), and PBGC may itself initiate proceedings to terminate a 
pension plan under section 4042 if PBGC determines that certain 
conditions are present. Under sections 4041 and 4042 of ERISA, upon a 
request by an affected party, a plan administrator must disclose 
information it has submitted to PBGC in connection with a distress 
termination filing, and a plan administrator or plan sponsor must 
disclose information it has submitted to PBGC in connection with a 
PBGC-initiated termination. The provisions also require PBGC to 
disclose the administrative record relating to a PBGC-initiated 
termination upon request by an affected party.
    The existing collection of information was approved through April 
30, 2024, under OMB control number 1212-0065. PBGC intends to request 
that OMB extend its approval of this collection of information for 3 
years. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not 
required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays 
a currently valid OMB control number.
    PBGC estimates that approximately 30 plans will terminate as 
distress or PBGC-initiated terminations each year and that two 
participants or other affected parties of every nine distress 
terminations or PBGC-initiated terminations filed will annually make 
requests for termination information, or \2/9\ of 30 (approximately 7 
per year). PBGC estimates that the hour burden for each request will be 
about 20 hours. PBGC expects that the staff of plan administrators and 
sponsors will perform the work in-house and that no work will be 
contracted to third parties. The total annual hour burden is estimated 
to be 140 hours (7 plans x 20 hours), and the total annual cost burden 
is estimated to be $0.
