Agencies and Commissions November 2020 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has recently submitted a request for renewal of an existing collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review. The information collection is entitled, ``Grants and Cooperative Agreement Provisions.''

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) is issuing a final rule revising its regulation implementing the Privacy Act of 1974 (Privacy Act Rule) to add BGFRS-43, ``FRBSecurity Sharing Platform,'' to the list of systems of records identified as ``exempt'' systems of records.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff is issuing an exemption in response to a request dated September 1, 2020, from the Southern California Edison (SCE), for San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1, 2, and 3 (SONGS), from the requirement to investigate and report to the NRC when SCE does not receive notification of receipt of a shipment, or part of a shipment, of low-level radioactive waste within 20 days after transfer from the SONGS facility. SCE requested the time period to receive acknowledgement that the shipment has been received by the intended recipient be extended from 20 to 45 days. SCE requested this change to avoid an excessive administrative burden, because its operational experience indicates that these shipments may take more than 20 days to reach their destination.
