Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 91 / Thursday, May 9, 2024 / Notices
determined that there are no cumulative
impacts associated with the proposed
action.
Environmental Impacts of the
Alternatives to the Proposed Action
As an alternative to the proposed
action, the staff considered denial of the
proposed action (i.e., the ‘‘no-action’’
alternative). Under this alternative, GLE
would not be granted approval of the
updated cyber security plan. Denial of
the proposed action would result in GLE
being unable to conduct operations
related to classified matter at its
headquarters location. GLE would
continue its current operations at the
test loop facility. The NRC staff
concluded that environmental impacts
from the no-action alternative would not
be significant.
Agencies and Persons Consulted
The Endangered Species Act (ESA)
was enacted to prevent further decline
of endangered and threatened species
and restore those species and their
critical habitat. Section 7 of the ESA
requires Federal agencies to consult
with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
or the National Marine Fisheries
Service, as appropriate, regarding
actions that may affect listed species or
designated critical habitats. The NRC
staff has determined that the proposed
action would have no effect on
threatened or endangered species or
critical habitat. Therefore, consultation
under section 7 of the ESA is not
required.
Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act (NHPA) requires
Federal agencies to consider the effects
of their undertakings on historic
properties. As stated in the NHPA,
historic properties are any prehistoric or
historic district, site, building, structure,
or object included in or eligible for
inclusion in the National Register of
Historic Places. The NRC staff has
determined that the undertaking is a
type of activity that does not have the
potential to cause effects on any historic
properties that may be present.
Therefore, in accordance with 36 CFR
800.3(a)(1), the NRC has no further
obligations under section 106 of the
NHPA.
III. Finding of No Significant Impact
GLE has requested approval of its
updated PCSP. The NRC staff has
prepared an EA as part of its review of
the proposed action. The proposed
action would have no significant
radiological or non-radiological impacts
to environmental resources. This FONSI
incorporates by reference the EA in
Section II of this notice. On the basis of
this EA, the NRC staff concludes that
the proposed action will not have a
significant effect on the quality of the
human environment. Accordingly, the
NRC has determined not to prepare an
environmental impact statement.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
4231(a) and (b) of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(ERISA) requires plans that are involved
in a merger or transfer to give PBGC 120
days notice of the transaction and
provides that if PBGC determines that
specified requirements are satisfied, the
transaction will be deemed not to be in
violation of ERISA section 406(a) or
(b)(2) (dealing with prohibited
transactions).
PBGC’s regulation on Mergers and
Transfers Between Multiemployer Plans
(29 CFR part 4231) sets forth the
procedures for giving notice of a merger
or transfer under section 4231 and for
requesting a compliance determination.
The regulations specify the information
that must be included in a merger or
transfer notice. A request for a
compliance determination must provide
additional information to enable PBGC
to make an explicit finding that the
merger/transfer requirements have been
satisfied.
Section 4231(e) of ERISA clarifies
PBGC’s authority to facilitate a merger (a
‘‘facilitated merger’’) of two or more
multiemployer plans if certain statutory
requirements are met. For purposes of
section 4231(e), ‘‘facilitation’’ may
include training, technical assistance,
mediation, communication with
stakeholders, and support with related
requests to other government agencies.
In addition, subject to the requirements
of section 4231(e)(2), PBGC may provide
financial assistance (within the meaning
of section 4261 of ERISA) to facilitate a
merger (a ‘‘financial assistance merger’’)
it determines is necessary to enable one
or more of the plans involved to avoid
or postpone insolvency. PBGC’s
regulations specify the information
requirements for a voluntary request for
a facilitated merger under section
4231(e) of ERISA, including a financial
assistance merger.
PBGC uses information submitted by
plan sponsors under the regulation to
determine whether mergers and
transfers conform to the requirements of
ERISA section 4231 and the regulation.
The collection of information under
the regulation has been approved by
OMB under control number 1212–0022
(expires October 31, 2024). PBGC
intends to request that OMB extend
approval of the collection 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.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:17 May 08, 2024
Jkt 262001
PBGC estimates that there are 15
transactions each year (excluding
financial assistance mergers). The
estimated annual burden of the
collection of information for 15
transactions (excluding financial
assistance mergers) is 15 fund office
hours and $74,400 in contractor costs
for work by attorneys and actuaries.
PBGC further estimates that there is one
request each year for a financial
assistance merger. The annual burden of
the collection of information for
financial assistance mergers is 10 fund
office hours and $36,000 in contractor
costs. The total annual burden of the
collection of information is
approximately 25 fund office hours and
$110,400 in contractor costs.
PBGC is soliciting public comments
to—
• 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
methodologies 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.
