II. Discussion Current decommissioning guidance is focused on addressing diffuse residual radioactivity with respect to performing surveys and assessing potential public exposure after license termination and does not address discrete radioactive particle contamination nor discuss how to control this type of contamination during decommissioning. For these reasons, the NRC staff have approached each past instance of DRP contamination on a case-by-case basis which may have led to some perceived inconsistencies in the approach to decommissioning. This draft guidance presents an acceptable approach for addressing discrete radioactive particle contamination throughout the decommissioning process. Such nondiffuse contamination can be found at power reactors, as well as fuel cycle facilities during any phase of decommissioning. The staff is also issuing for public comment a draft regulatory analysis (ADAMS Accession No. ML24227A987). III. Backfitting, Forward Fitting, and Issue Finality Issuance of this ISG, if finalized, would not (i) constitute backfitting as defined in section 50.109 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ‘‘Backfitting,’’ 70.76, ‘‘Backfitting,’’ and 72.62, ‘‘Backfitting,’’ and as described in Management Directive (MD) 8.4, ‘‘Management of Backfitting, Forward Fitting, Issue Finality, and Information Requests’’; or (ii) affect issue finality of any approval issued under 10 CFR part 52, ‘‘Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants’’; or (iii) constitute forward fitting as that term is defined and described in MD 8.4, because licensees would not be required to comply with the positions set forth in this ISG, if finalized. Dated: September 20, 2024. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office of the PBGC Participant and Plan Sponsor Advocate (OPPSA) acts as a liaison between PBGC, sponsors of defined benefit pension plans insured by PBGC, and participants in pension plans trusteed by PBGC. OPPSA assists participants with searching for historical pension plan information as part of its pension plan tracing service. To conduct the tracing research, OPPSA uses an internal pension plan tracing research dashboard, which displays select data elements from various PBGC systems, including annual premium filing records and case information. The information found through OPPSA’s tracing research can help participants locate historical plan information. To perform the search, OPPSA will request participant contact information and specific plan information. This information includes the participant’s name, phone number, email address, and the inquirer’s name and relationship to participant if the inquirer it is not the participant; the employer’s name and location; the pension plan name; the employer identification number (EIN); the plan number (PN); the years that the participant worked for the employer; whether the person was an hourly, salaried, or part-time employee; and any addition information about the employer or pension plan that would aid in plan tracing, including listing any documents the participant has related to the pension plan. The collection of information is voluntary and minimally burdensome. It will enable OPPSA to more effectively run its pension plan tracing service and to assist participants in locating historical plan information. On July 22, 2024, PBGC published in the Federal Register (at 89 FR 59172) a notice informing the public of its intent to request approval of this collection of information. No comments were received. PBGC is requesting that OMB approve the 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 it will receive intake information from approximately 200 participants annually and that it will take participants 0.5 hours to complete and submit the information. The time needed to provide the information will vary among participants depending on what information they have readily available to them. The total amount of burden VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:11 Sep 25, 2024 Jkt 262001 associated with this collection of information is estimated to be 100 hours and an estimated $0. Issued in Washington, DC.

The Commission plans to submit this existing collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for extension and approval. Rule 17f–1(c) requires approximately 9,500 entities in the securities industry to report lost, stolen, missing, or counterfeit securities certificates to the Commission or its designee, to a registered transfer agent for the issue, and, when criminal activity is suspected, to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Such entities are required to use Form X–17F–1A to make such reports. Filing these reports fulfills a statutory requirement that reporting institutions report and inquire about missing, lost, counterfeit, or stolen securities. Since these reports are compiled in a central database, the rule facilitates reporting institutions to access the database that stores information for the Lost and Stolen Securities Program (‘‘Program’’). We estimate that the total reporting burden for Regulation 17f–1(c), as adopted, for all respondents is approximately 2,937.5 hours. These burdens consist of a one-time burden in connection with Accenture Federal Services LLC (‘‘Accenture’’) becoming the new Program operator of PO 00000 Frm 00079 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 78919 approximately 2,000 hours for set-up, and annual burdens thereafter of approximately 25 hours for maintenance and 287.5 hours for reporting. [2,000 + 3(25 + 287.5) = 2,937.5 hours] • The Commission estimates that approximately 50 reporting institutions will be subject to this one-time burden, which corresponds to 40 hours for each of the applicable reporting institutions. Further, the Commission estimates that updates in the applicable reporting institutions’ systems to maintain this connectivity will impose an aggregate ongoing annualized burden of 25 burden hours, which corresponds to 30 minutes for each of the applicable reporting institutions. Accordingly, this estimated burden to establish and maintain connectivity with Accenture over three years results in an aggregate burden of 691.67 hours per year or 13.83 hours per applicable reporting institution per year. [(50 Respondents × 1 Responses over 3 years) = 50 × (40 hour) = 2,000 hours/3 years = 666.67 hours per year; (50 Respondents × 1 Responses) = 50 × (.5 hours) = 25 hours; 666.67 hours + 25 hours = 691.67 hours; 691.67 hours/50 Respondents = 13.83 hours/Respondent]. • In addition, we estimate that approximately 115 reporting institutions will submit a report on average 30 times each year. The staff estimates that the average amount of time necessary for each reporting institution to comply with the Rule 17f–1(c) and Form X– 17F–1A is five minutes. As a result, the total hourly burden for the periodic reporting burden under Rule 17f–1(c) is approximately 287.5 hours [(115 Respondents × 30 Responses) × (5 minutes/60 minutes/hour)]. Written comments are invited on: (a) whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission’s estimates of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Consideration will be given to comments and suggestions submitted by November 25, 2024. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
