Submission of Information Collection for OMB Review; Comment Request; Qualified Domestic Relations Orders Submitted to Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, 90320-90321 [2024-26664]

Download as PDF 90320 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 221 / Friday, November 15, 2024 / Notices khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES II. Discussion The proposed action is for the NRC to issue an exemption authorizing the early excavation activities prior to the submittal of the construction permit (CP) application. The NRC issuance of the exemption would allow TVA to install and leave in place components of the initial ground support system for the reactor building (RB) excavation, such as rock bolts to secure unstable rock blocks, wire mesh and non-structural sprayed concrete linings to stabilize exposed rock walls, horizontal gravity drains to manage groundwater, and pressurized grout to seal water entry. The initial ground support system could also include steel soldier beams with timber lagging, rock bolts to secure soldier beams, and reinforced concrete compression rings to support the soldier beams. The exemption is needed due to the timing of initial ground support system installation, which serves no function with respect to structural RB support or radiological health or safety but is needed for construction worker safety during RB excavation. If excavation for the RB is delayed until after the issuance of the CP, the construction schedule and commercial operation could undergo a delay of 12– 24 months. TVA anticipates that the cost of any delay of the commercial operation of Clinch River Nuclear Unit 1 would be substantial. In the EA, the NRC staff assessed the potential direct and indirect environmental impacts from the proposed action associated with the following relevant resource areas: land use and visual resources, air quality and noise, hydrogeology and water resources, ecological resources, historic and cultural resources, socioeconomics and environmental justice, human health, and nonradiological waste management. The NRC staff determined that the environmental impacts of the proposed action would be SMALL for each potentially affected environmental resource, meaning that the environmental effects are not detectable or are so minor that they will neither destabilize nor noticeably alter any important attribute of the resource. The NRC staff identified alternatives to the proposed action and the environmental impacts of the alternatives, as appropriate. The NRC staff determined that there are no alternatives that meet the need for the proposed action and that are environmentally preferrable to the proposed action. VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:11 Nov 14, 2024 Jkt 265001 III. Finding of No Significant Impact The proposed action before the NRC is whether to issue the exemption request authorizing early excavation at the CRN Site. As required by 10 CFR 51.21, the NRC prepared the EA. This FONSI incorporates by reference the EA summarized in Section II of this notice. Based on the NRC staff’s determination in the EA that the environmental impacts would be SMALL for each potentially affected resource area, the NRC staff has determined that the proposed action will not have a significant impact on the quality of the human environment. Accordingly, the NRC staff has made a determination that the preparation of an EIS is not required for the proposed action and that a FONSI is warranted. Dated: November 8, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A defined benefit pension plan that does not have enough money to pay benefits may be terminated if the employer responsible for the plan faces severe financial difficulty, such as bankruptcy, and is unable to maintain the plan. In such an event, PBGC becomes trustee of the plan and pays benefits, subject to legal limits, to plan participants and beneficiaries. The benefits of a pension plan participant generally may not be assigned or alienated. Title I of ERISA provides an exception for domestic relations orders (DRO) that relate to child support, alimony payments, or marital property rights of an alternate payee (a spouse, former spouse, child, or other dependent of a plan participant). The exception applies only if the DRO meets specific legal requirements that make it a qualified domestic relations order (QDRO). When PBGC is trustee of a plan, it reviews submitted domestic relations orders to determine whether the order is qualified before paying benefits to an alternate payee. The requirements for submitting a domestic relations order and the contents of such orders are established by statute. The models and the guidance provided by PBGC assist parties by making it easier for them to E:\FR\FM\15NON1.SGM 15NON1 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 221 / Friday, November 15, 2024 / Notices comply with ERISA’s QDRO requirements in plans trusteed by PBGC; they do not create any additional requirements and result in a reduction of the statutory burden.

On August 8, 2024, PBGC published in the Federal Register (at 89 FR 64965), a notice informing the public of its intent to request an extension of this collection of information, as modified. PBGC is adding one term and is clarifying other terms in the Glossary and is making other clarifying changes to the QDRO booklet. No comments were received. PBGC is requesting that OMB extend approval of the collection with modifications 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 approximately 253 domestic relations orders each year from prospective alternate payees and participants. PBGC further estimates that the total average annual burden of this collection of information will be approximately 190 hours and $177,100. Issued in Washington, DC.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A defined benefit pension plan that does not

responsible for the plan faces severe financial difficulty, such as 
bankruptcy, and is unable to maintain the plan. In such an event, PBGC

do not create any additional requirements and result in a reduction of

control number 1212-0054, expiring on January 31, 2025. On August 8, 
2024, PBGC published in the Federal Register (at 89 FR 64965), a notice 
informing the public of its intent to request an extension of this 
collection of information, as modified. PBGC is adding one term and is 
clarifying other terms in the Glossary and is making other clarifying 
changes to the QDRO booklet. No comments were received. PBGC is 
requesting that OMB extend approval of the collection with 
modifications 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 approximately 253 domestic 
relations orders each year from prospective alternate payees and 
participants. PBGC further estimates that the total average annual 
burden of this collection of information will be approximately 190 
hours and $177,100.
