The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will consider in its rulemaking process issues raised in a petition for rulemaking (PRM), dated August 2, 2018, submitted by Mr. Bill Pitesa on behalf of the Nuclear Energy Institute. The petition was docketed by the NRC on November 20, 2018, and assigned Docket No. PRM-50-116. The petitioner requested that the NRC amend its regulations to eliminate immediate notification requirements for nonemergency events for operating nuclear power reactors. The NRC will evaluate the current requirements and guidance for immediate notification of nonemergency events for operating nuclear power reactors, assess whether the requirements present an unnecessary reporting burden, and if they do, determine whether reporting can be reduced or eliminated that does not have a commensurate safety benefit.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to amend its spent fuel storage regulations by revising the TN Americas LLC, NUHOMS[supreg] EOS Dry Spent Fuel Storage System listing within the ``List of approved spent fuel storage casks'' to include Amendment No. 2 to Certificate of Compliance No. 1042. Amendment No. 2 would revise the certificate of compliance to add a dry shielded canister for storage, add new heat load zone configurations, and make other changes to the storage system. Amendment No. 2 also would change the certificate of compliance, technical specifications, and updated final safety analysis report for consistency and clarity.

Following receipt of petitions on August 2, 2021 and August 4, 2021, requesting extension of the relief action currently in place on imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic (``CSPV'') cells (whether or not partially or fully assembled into other products), the Commission instituted investigation No. TA-201-075 (Extension) under the Trade Act of 1974 (``the Act''). The purpose of this investigation is to determine whether the action taken by the President under section 203 of the Act with respect to certain CSPV cells, whether or not partially or fully assembled into other products (including, but not limited to, modules, laminates, panels, and building-integrated materials) (``CSPV products''), described in Proclamation 9693 of January 23, 2018, as modified by Proclamation 10101 of October 10, 2020, continues to be necessary to prevent or remedy serious injury and whether there is evidence that the domestic industry is making a positive adjustment to import competition.

In this document, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (WTB or Bureau) prescribes the form by which eligible C-band space station operators should submit Phase I Certifications of Accelerated Relocation (Certifications) and establishes the process by which stakeholders can file related challenges to those Certifications. Expanding Flexible Use of the 3.7 to 4.2 GHz Band Report and Order, GN Docket No. 18-122, Report and Order and Order of Proposed Modification, FCC 20-22 (Mar. 3, 2020) (3.7 GHz Report and Order), required that, in order to be eligible for an Accelerated Relocation Payment (ARP), an eligible space station operator must file a Certification ``demonstrating, in good faith, that it has completed the necessary clearing actions to satisfy each deadline.'' An eligible space station operator is required to complete its obligations and then file a Certification by the applicable Accelerated Relocation Deadline, which for Phase I is December 5, 2021. Certifications should be filed both in GN Docket No. 18-122 and in GN Docket No. 21-320; stakeholders should file any related challenges in GN Docket No. 21-320.

As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following information collections. Comments are requested concerning: 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; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on the respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and ways to further reduce the information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.

In this document, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (WTB or Bureau) seeks comment on its proposed implementation of the Commission's incremental reduction plan for Phase I Accelerated Relocation Payments (ARP) relating to the ongoing transition of the 3.7 GHz band. On August 4, 2021, as directed by the Commission in the Expanding Flexible Use of the 3.7 to 4.2 GHz Band Report and Order, GN Docket No. 18-122, Report and Order and Order of Proposed Modification, FCC 20-22 (Mar. 3, 2020) (3.7 GHz Report and Order), WTB issued a Public Notice to prescribe the filing procedures for eligible space station operators to submit Certifications of Accelerated Relocation (Certifications) and stakeholders to submit related challenges as part of the Phase I migration of incumbent services in this band. Related to this process, WTB hereby seeks comment on its proposed approach for calculating an incremental reduction for an eligible space station operator's ARP due to its failure to meet the Phase I Accelerated Relocation Deadline. Filers responding to this Public Notice should submit comments in GN Docket No. 21-320.
