SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Introduction Under section 2.106 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), the NRC is providing notice of the issuance of Construction Permit No. CPTR–6, to Kairos and issuance of the Record of Decision (ROD) under 10 CFR 51.102. The construction permit, which is immediately effective, authorizes Kairos to construct a test reactor facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, as described in Kairos’s construction permit application. With respect to the construction permit application filed by Kairos, the NRC finds that the applicable standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the Commission’s regulations have been met. The NRC finds that any required notifications to other agencies or bodies have been duly made and that, among other things, there is reasonable assurance that the activities authorized by the permit will be conducted in compliance with the rules and regulations of the Commission, that safety questions will be satisfactorily resolved by the completion of construction, and that, taking into consideration siting criteria, the proposed facility can be constructed and operated at the proposed location without undue risk to public health and safety, subject to the conditions listed in the construction permit. Furthermore, the NRC finds that the licensee is technically and financially qualified to engage in the activities authorized, and that issuance of the license will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public. Finally, the NRC finds that the findings required by subpart A of 10 CFR part 51 have been made. Accordingly, the immediately effective construction permit was issued on December 14, 2023. II. Further Information The NRC prepared a Safety Evaluation (SE) and Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) that document the NRC’s evaluation of Kairos’s construction permit application and its findings. The Commission also issued its Memorandum and Order documenting its final decision on the mandatory hearing held on October 19, 2023, which serves as the ROD in this proceeding. The NRC also prepared a document summarizing the ROD that incorporates by reference materials contained in the FEIS.

Section 4262 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) requires PBGC to provide special financial assistance (SFA) to certain financially troubled multiemployer plans upon application for assistance. Part 4262 of PBGC’s regulations, ‘‘Special Financial Assistance by PBGC,’’ provides guidance to multiemployer pension plan sponsors on eligibility, determining the amount of SFA, content of an application for SFA, the process of applying, PBGC’s review of applications, restrictions and conditions, and reporting and notice requirements. To apply for SFA, a plan sponsor must file an application with PBGC and include information about the plan, plan documentation, and actuarial information, as specified in §§ 4262.6 through 4262.9. Also, if the plan is changing certain assumptions for purposes of demonstrating its requested amount of SFA, then the plan sponsor may use PBGC’s SFA assumptions guidance. PBGC needs the application information to review a plan’s eligibility for SFA and amount of requested SFA. PBGC estimates that over the next 3 years an annual average of 45 plan sponsors will file applications for SFA with an average annual hour burden of 540 (45 × 12) hours and an average annual cost burden of $1,530,000 (45 × $34,000).
