Information collections contained in Modernizing Materials Licensing Proposed Rule, 10 CFR Parts 30, 37, 40, 51, 70, 72, and 140

Key Information

Abstract

PROPOSED RULE: Information collections contained in Modernizing Materials Licensing Proposed Rule, 10 CFR Parts 30, 37, 40, 51, 70, 72, and 140 The proposed rule would revise information collection related to materials licensing. Major changes would include eliminating the nine-month advance application requirement for facility construction in 10 CFR parts 30, 40, and for some facilities under 10 CFR part 70, and allowing construction to begin at the applicant’s risk for most materials facility types; introducing a new exemption in 10 CFR part 37 for large components and robust structures containing category 1 or category 2 quantities of radioactive material, with new recordkeeping for exemption documentation; streamlining and clarifying application content and reporting requirements in 10 CFR part 70, especially for spent fuel reprocessing facilities; shifting certain annual and biennial reporting requirements in 10 CFR part 72 to recordkeeping only, and adjusting notification and registration deadlines for spent fuel storage; and establishing new documentation requirements in 10 CFR part 140 for spent fuel reprocessing facility licensees (liability insurance and indemnification for reprocessing facilities). These changes collectively would reduce unnecessary regulatory burden, clarify ambiguous requirements, and improve the efficiency and practical utility of NRC’s information collections, ensuring that the agency would continue to receive essential information for effective oversight while minimizing paperwork burdens on regulated entities. NOTE: Because this rule results in a net reduction in the number of responses, but an overall increase in burden, the data fields in the submission reflect a nominal entry of 1 response. Please refer to the supporting statement and burden tables for the actual burden estimates. In addition, the cost to the government is a savings of $23,100, but 0 has been entered in the field, as it does not allow a negative response.

Third Party Servicer Data Collection

Key Information

Abstract

The Department is seeking a reinstatement with change of information collection 1845-0130, covering a Third-Party Servicer Data Inquiry form. This form collects information from third party servicers. The HEA allows institutions of higher education to outsource aspects of their participation in Title IV programs. Any individual or entity that contracts with or performs work on behalf of an institution to administer any aspect of that institution’s responsibilities required under the Title IV programs is defined as a third-party servicer. The Title IV regulations authorize the Department to provide oversight of third-party servicers, which are subject to the highest standard of care and diligence in their administration of Title IV programs. (34 CFR 668.2) The information collected through the Third-Party Servicer Data Inquiry form allows the Department to identify institutions of higher education that are failing to report or incorrectly reporting third-party servicer information; to monitor and enforce third-party servicer compliance with annual audit requirements; to identify other persons or organizations that contract with a third-party servicer to assist with any aspect of the administration of a Title IV program on behalf of the third-party servicer or its clients; and to effectively coordinate third-party servicer program review assessments

Abstract

Title IV, Part G of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, (HEA) as further amended by the 1998 Amendments to the HEA (P.L. 105-244) section 485B, requires the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education (the Department) to establish a National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) that contains information about Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program loans, Federal Perkins loans (including National Direct Student Loans and National Defense Student Loans), William D. Ford Federal Direct Student loans (Direct Loan), Federally Insured Student Loans (FISL) and Federal Grants including Pell Grants, Academic Competitiveness Grants (ACG), Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grants (IASG), National Science and Mathematics Access to Retain Talent (SMART) and Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grants. NSLDS is operated out of Federal Student Aid (FSA) and is used for research, policy analysis, monitoring student enrollment, identifying loan holders and servicers, calculating default rates, monitoring program participants, and verifying student aid eligibility. This is a request for a reinstatement without change of the current information collection and burden assessed to 1845-0035.

Authorization for SSA to Obtain Account Records From A Financial Institution And Request For Records

Key Information

Abstract

SSA collects and verifies financial account information from individuals requesting a waiver of their Title II and Title XVI overpayments, as well as those who apply for, or currently receive (in the case of redetermination) Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments. We require financial information from these individual’s to: (1) determine the eligibility of the applicant or recipient for SSI benefits; or (2) determine if a request to waive a Social Security overpayment defeats the purpose of the Act. If an individual provides incomplete or seemingly altered records, or if records are unavailable, SSA contacts his or her financial institutions to verify the existence; ownership; and value of accounts owned. Financial institutions need individuals to sign Form SSA-4641-F4, or contact SSA and use the Internet version, e4641, to authorize them to disclose the individual’s records to SSA. The respondents are Title II and Title XVI recipients applying for waivers, or SSI applicants, recipients, and their deemors to determine SSI eligibility. We are submitting a non-substantive Change Request to request to add a new modality of completion for the SSA-4641. The new version will be published as an overprint (SSA-4641 OP1) and will not replace any existing modalities, we are updating disclosures and the Privacy Act Statement and we are moving the financial account identification from the authorization portion of the form to a new Part Two of the form and broken up the various parts of this multipurpose form into four sections.

FERC Form No. 552, Annual Report of Natural Gas Transactions

Key Information

Abstract

The FERC Form 552 provides greater transparency concerning the use of indices to price natural gas and how well index prices reflect market forces. Many market participants rely on indices to reference market prices without acquiring the risks of active trading. However, the Commission discovered that there was insufficient information available to the Commission and market participants in order to assess whether the gas indices are derived from a robust market of fixed-price transactions and thus, accurately reflect market forces. For example, there was no way to determine the volumetric relationships between (a) the fixed-price, next day and next month delivery transactions that form gas price indices; and (b) transactions that use indices. The annual filing of transaction information by market participants is necessary to provide information regarding the size of the physical natural gas market, the use of the natural gas spot markets and the use of fixed- and indexed- price transactions. Without the most basic information about these volumetric relationships, the Commission has been hampered in its oversight and its ability to assess the adequacy of price-forming transactions. Market participants are likewise unable to evaluate their use of indexed transactions. Typically, market participants rely on index-priced transactions as a way to reference market prices without taking on the risks of active trading. These market participants rely on index prices, often whether or not those prices are derived from a robust market of fixed-price transactions.

FERC-549E, Price Index Data Providers and Developers

Key Information

Abstract

The Commission set forth standards for price index developers to demonstrate that their internal processes were sufficient to qualify as a Commission-approved price index developer and, thus, have their price indices referenced in Commission-jurisdictional tariffs. Price index developers seeking approval voluntarily provided written statements to the Commission to explain how they met these standards. The Commission used the information collected from these price index developers to determine whether the Commission would approve the use of their indices in Commission-jurisdictional tariffs. After the Initial Policy Statement was issued thirteen price index developers sought approval. Beginning six months after the effective date of this revision, interstate natural gas pipelines and public utilities proposing to use price indices in jurisdictional tariffs will no longer be entitled to the rebuttable presumption that a price index developer’s price indices produce just and reasonable rates unless the price index developer has obtained approval or re-approval from the Commission within the last seven years.

Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 1992-6: Sale of Individual Life Insurance or Annuity Contracts by an Employee Benefit Plan

Key Information

Abstract

PTE 92-6 exempts from the prohibited transaction restrictions the sale of individual life insurance or annuity contracts held by an employee benefit plan to: (1) plan participants insured under such contracts; (2) a relative of such participant who is the beneficiaries under the contract, (3) an employer any of whose employees are covered by the plan; (4) another employee benefit plan; (5) plan participants who are owner-employees (as defined in section 401(c)(3) of the Code), or shareholder-employees (as defined in section 1379 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 as in effect on the day before the enactment of the Subchapter S Revision Act of 1982), or (6) trusts established by or for the benefit of plan participants (1) or (2), provided certain conditions set forth in the class exemption are met. With respect to sales of the policy to the employer, a relative of the insured, a trust, or another plan, the participant insured under the policy is first informed of the proposed sale and is given the opportunity to purchase such contract from the plan, and delivers a written document to the plan stating that he or she elects not to purchase the policy and consents to the sale by the plan of such policy to such employer, relative, trust or other plan.

Employee Benefit Plan Claims Procedure Under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act

Key Information

Abstract

In November 2000, the Department issued a final regulation establishing minimum claims procedure requirements that all employee benefit plans under ERISA must meet in order to satisfy the requirements of section 503 of ERISA. Section 505 of ERISA authorizes the Secretary to prescribe regulations as appropriate or necessary to carry out the provisions of Title I of ERISA. The regulation requires plans to provide every claimant who is denied a claim with a written or electronic notice that contains the specific reasons for denial, a reference to the relevant plan provisions on which the denial is based, a description of any additional information necessary to perfect the claim, and a description of steps to be taken if the participant or beneficiary wishes to appeal the denial. The regulation also requires that any adverse decision upon review be in writing (including electronic means) and include specific reasons for the decision, as well as references to relevant plan provisions.

FAST-41 Initiation Notice (FIN)

Key Information

Abstract

Established in 2015 by Title 41 of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST-41), 42 U.S.C. 4370m et seq., the Permitting Council is a unique Federal agency charged with improving the transparency and predictability of the Federal environmental review and authorization process for certain infrastructure projects. The Permitting Council is comprised of the Permitting Council Executive Director, who serves as the Council Chair; 13 Federal agency Council members (including deputy secretary-level designees of the Secretaries of Agriculture, Army, Commerce, Interior, Energy, Transportation, Defense, Homeland Security, and Housing and Urban Development, the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Chairs of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation); and the Chair of the Council on Environmental Quality and the Director of the OMB. 42 U.S.C. 4370m-1(a) & (b). The Permitting Council coordinates Federal environmental reviews and authorizations for projects that seek and qualify for FAST-41 coverage. Those projects are entitled to comprehensive permitting timetables and transparent, collaborative management of those timetables on the Federal Permitting Dashboard in compliance with FAST-41 procedural requirements. 42 U.S.C. 4370m-2(c) & (d). Sponsors of FAST-41 covered projects also benefit from the direct engagement of the Permitting Council Executive Director and the Permitting Council members in timely identification and resolution of permitting issues that affect covered projects’ permitting timetables. FAST-41 is a voluntary program for project sponsors to have additional support through the environmental review and permitting process. The first step to becoming a covered project under FAST-41 is to submit a FAST-41 Initiation Notice (FIN), required by 42 U.S.C. 4370m-2(a)(1). The FIN is required to include the purpose of the project, a brief description, statements of technical and financial feasibility, a statement of anticipated federal financing, reviews, and authorizations, and an assessment of whether the project meets the statutory definition of a “covered project” under FAST-41. 42 U.S.C. 4370m-2(a)(1)(C).

NRC Forms 540 and 540A, Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest (Shipping Paper) and Continuation Page

Key Information

Abstract

The completed NRC Form 540 contains information needed to satisfy the Department of Transportation shipping paper requirements in 49 CFR part 172 and the waste manifesting requirements of the NRC’s 10 CFR part 20. NUREG/BR– 0204, Rev. 3, contains instructions for completing NRC Forms 540, 540A, 541, 541A, 542, and 542A. The forms were originally developed by the NRC at the request of low-level waste industry groups. The forms are intended to provide uniformity and efficiency in the collection of information contained in manifests which are required to control transfers of LLW intended for disposal at a land disposal facility. However, as stated in 10 CFR part 20, appendix G, ‘‘Licensees need not use originals of these NRC Forms as long as any substitute forms are equivalent to the original documentation in respect to content, clarity, size, and location of information . . .’’ The NRC previously noticed the availability of revisions to the Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest Forms in the Federal Register on June 25, 2021 (86 FR 33783). The information collection contained in the current extension request does not include any material changes to the forms, except for: (1) changes to the Paperwork Reduction Act statement to indicate that licensees may use equivalent forms, and (2) the deletion of the expiration date.

NRC Forms 542 and 542A, Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest Index and Regional Compact Tabulation

Key Information

Abstract

The NRC Form 542, completed by LLW collectors and processors, contains information needed to satisfy the waste manifesting requirements of the NRC’s 10 CFR part 20 and information on the attribution of the waste. Each waste container shipped from a waste collector or processor may contain waste from several different generators. Tracking the identity of the original waste generator becomes more complicated when the waste forms, dimensions, or packaging are changed by the waste processor. These forms are used to attribute the waste to the original generator for regional waste compact tabulation. The information provided on the NRC Form 542 permits the States and Compacts to know the original generators of LLW, as authorized by the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1985, so they can ensure that waste is disposed of in the appropriate Compact. NUREG/BR–0204, Rev. 3, contains instructions for completing NRC Forms 540, 540A, 541, 541A, 542, and 542A. The forms were originally developed by the NRC at the request of low-level waste industry groups.

Designation of Agents, Motor Carriers, Brokers and Freight Forwarders

Key Information

Abstract

Motor carriers of property and passengers, property brokers, surface freight forwarders, including exempt for hire and private motor carriers, operating in interstate or foreign commerce must register with the FMCSA. The collection is mandatory reporting. As a condition of registration, these entities must designate process agents for each State in which they operate on the “Designation of Agents for Service of Process” form, Form BOC-3. The form is submitted by registration applicants to FMCSA to meet a statutory requirement and is filed on an “as-needed” basis and cannot be done less frequently. Most forms are filed by blanket companies on behalf of carriers. Currently, information contained on the completed Form BOC-3 identifies a process agent for each State in which the motor carrier, freight forwarder, or broker will operate. These process agents are authorized by the transportation entity to accept, on its behalf, legal process or notice in Agency and court proceedings. Persons considering bringing legal actions against a carrier, broker, or freight forwarder may obtain the name of its process agent in a particular State by contacting FMCSA.

FY2023 Teen Pregnancy Prevention Performance Measures

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of Population Affairs (OPA), in the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), requests renewal of clearance with change (revision) for the collection of performance measures from Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) Program grantees, specifically those awarded between FY2023 and FY2028 across three Notice of Funding Opportunities (NOFOs). Collection of performance measures is a requirement of all TPP awards and is included as an expectation within the TPP NOFOs. The data collection will allow OPA to comply with federal accountability and performance requirements, inform stakeholders of grantee progress in meeting TPP program goals, provide OPA with metrics for monitoring current TPP grantees, and facilitate individual grantees’ continuous quality improvement efforts within their projects. The primary change OPA requests is to update the total number of respondents, which reduced the total burden estimate. OPA revised the original clearance to update the estimated number of respondents provided in the original clearance to reflect the number of actual grantees awarded: Tier 1 respondents decreased by 12 (from 70 to 58), Tier 2 Hubs respondents decreased by 4 (from 10 to 6) and Tier 2 Rigorous Impact respondents decreased by 1 (from 16 to 15). The decrease in respondents reduced total burden by 222 hours (from 1431 hours to 1209 hours). OPA added one new item to the Tier 2 Hubs form (prototypes developed per reporting period) which is not expected to change the burden estimated for the form. OPA requests clearance for three years to allow for continuous data collection throughout the 5-year grants.

Abstract

This Supporting Statement describes an extension of the currently approved information collection in OMB control no. 0648-0214. Reporting requirements for all collections under 0648-0214 would not change, including vessels fishing under Pacific Islands Region permits for pelagic longline fishing, crustaceans, precious corals, bottomfish, and other pelagic fisheries. The current information collection would be continued. Vessel operators or owners in Federally-managed fisheries in the Pacific Islands Region (PIR) are required to provide certain information about their fishing activities, catch, and interactions with protected species by submitting reports to National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), per 50 CFR Part 665.14 . These data are needed to determine the condition of fish stocks and whether current management measures are having the intended effects, to evaluate the benefits and costs of changes in management measures, and to monitor and respond to accidental takes of endangered and threatened species, including seabirds, sea turtles, and marine mammals. The reports are submitted using paper logbooks or electronic logbooks (computer tablets or other devices) to the NMFS Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center. The Hawaii and American Samoa pelagic longline fisheries will submit reports using electronic logbooks, although paper logbooks will be used if there are equipment or transmission failures. Electronic logbooks collect the same information as paper logbooks. All other PIR fisheries use paper logbooks only. Longline vessel operators are also required to submit pre-trip notifications, including information on trip type, departure time, and transit through a protected species zone per 50 CFR 665.803 . Other fisheries are required to submit notifications of trip return, unloading, or sales reports per regulations in multiple Subparts of 50 CFR 665 .
