10 CFR Part 55, Operators' Licenses

Key Information

Abstract

Part 55 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), “Operators’ Licenses,” specifies information and data to be provided by applicants and facility licensees so that the NRC may make determinations concerning the licensing and requalification of operators for nuclear reactors, as necessary to promote public health and safety. The reporting and recordkeeping requirements contained in 10 CFR Part 55 are mandatory for the affected facility licensees and applicants. In addition, the information collection includes two online forms for requesting exemptions from requirements for Part 55 Exemption Request and Part 55 Research and Test Reactor Exemption Request related to the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE). The information collected by the online form is the minimum needed by NRC to make a determination on the acceptability of the licensee’s request for an exemption.

Pacific Coast Groundfish Trawl Rationalization Program Permit and License Information Collection

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for a revision and extension of a current information collection. The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA), 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq., authorizes Fishery Management Councils to prepare and amend fishery management plans (FMP) for any fishery in waters under its jurisdiction. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) manages the groundfish fishery in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), the area 3-200 mile zone off the Washington, Oregon, and California coasts. The Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) began developing a trawl rationalization program, a catch share program, for the Pacific coast groundfish limited entry trawl fishery in 2003. The program is composed of three sectors, as follows: 1) the shore based individual fishing quota (IFQ) sector, 2) the at-sea whiting mothership (MS) sector, and 3) the at- sea whiting catcher/processor (C/P) sector. The shore based IFQ sector consists of quota share (QS) permit owners, catcher vessels that are registered to limited entry trawl permits, have vessel accounts, fish for quota pounds (QP), and first receiver site license (FRSL) holders who receive the shore based IFQ landings. The at-sea trawl fleets catch and process Pacific whiting (whiting) with midwater trawl gear. In the MS sector, mothership catcher vessels (MS/CVs) harvest the whiting and deliver the catch to large MS vessels, where it is sorted and processed at-sea. One or more MS coops may form and/or vessels may fish in a non-cooperative fishery. Both coop and non-coop fishery vessels pool their harvest together. In the C/P sector, C/P vessels catch and process whiting at-sea under a single C/P coop. This revision will include the removal of three ICs: Catch monitoring plans / First Receivers Preparation & Submission, Catch monitoring plans / First Receivers Inspection, & Shore based scales / First Receivers Inspection. The removal of these ICs is necessary because they are encompassed in the First Receiver Site License Application Form. This action decreases the duplicate actions and burden to fill out said forms.

Plan Asset Transactions Determined by In-House Asset Managers under Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 96-23

Key Information

Abstract

The Department granted PTE 84-14 (49 FR 9494, as corrected 50 FR 41430), a class exemption that permits various parties in interest (as defined in ERISA section 3(14)) to employee benefit plans to engage in transactions involving plan assets if, among other conditions, the assets are managed by a “qualified professional asset manager” (QPAM), but still did not provide relief for transactions involving the assets of plans managed by an in-house asset manager. The Department granted PTE 96-23 (61 FR 15975), Class Exemption for Plan Asset Transactions Determined by In-House Asset Managers. The class exemption permits various parties in interest to employee benefit plans to engage in transactions involving plan assets if, among other requirements, the assets are managed by an in-house asset manager (INHAM). PTE 96-23 contains requirements for written guidelines between an INHAM and a property manager that an INHAM has retained to act on its behalf. The information collection requirements consist of the requirements that the INHAM develop written policies and procedures designed to assure compliance with the conditions of the exemption and have an independent auditor conduct an annual INHAM exemption audit and issue an audit report to each plan.

Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption for Certain Transactions Between Investment Companies and Employee Benefit Plans (PTE 1977-4)

Key Information

Abstract

PTE 77-4, which was originally granted on April 8, 1977, exempts from the prohibited transaction restrictions the purchase and sale by an employee benefit plan of shares from a registered, open-end investment company (mutual fund) when a fiduciary of the plan (e.g., an investment manager) is also the investment advisor for the investment company. There are three disclosure requirements incorporated within the class exemption. The first requirement is intended to put the plan on notice of possible fees associated with the redemption of open-end mutual fund shares. It requires disclosure of any redemption fees in the current prospectus of the open-end mutual fund (the prospectus in effect at the time of the plan’s acquisition or disposal of such shares). The class exemption permits a plan to pay a redemption fee on the sale, by redemption, of open-end mutual fund shares only if the fee is paid to the open-end mutual company and the above noted disclosure is made. The second requirement is that, at the time of the purchase or sale of such mutual fund shares, an independent fiduciary receive a copy of the current prospectus issued by the open-end mutual fund and full written disclosure of the investment advisory fees charged to or paid by the plan and the open-end mutual fund to the investment advisor. Pursuant to advisory opinion 2013-04A, the Department interprets the term “prospectus” in PTE 77-4 to include a “summary prospectus” if the summary prospectus meets the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s revised disclosure provisions for mutual funds including a summary prospectus rule that were published in 2009 Pursuant to the SEC’s revised disclosure provisions, mutual funds also are required to send the full prospectus to the investor upon an investor’s request, and to provide the full prospectus on-line at a specified internet site. The third requirement is that the independent fiduciary be notified of any changes in the fees and approves in writing the plan’s purchase or sale of affected mutual fund shares, or the plan’s continued possession of any such mutual fund shares that it had acquired before the fee changes.

Cooperation with States at Commerical Nuclear Power Plants and Other Nuclear Production and Utilization Facilities, Policy Statement

Key Information

Abstract

States and Federally recognized Indian Tribes are involved and interested in monitoring the safety status of nuclear power plants and other nuclear production and utilization facilities. This involvement is, in part, in response to the States' and Tribes' public health and safety responsibilities and, in part, in response to their citizens' desire to become more knowledgeable about the safety of nuclear power plants and other nuclear production and utilization facilities. States and Tribes have identified NRC inspections as one possible source of knowledge for their personnel regarding NRC licensee activities, and the NRC, through the policy statement, “Cooperation with States at Commercial Nuclear Power Plants and Other Nuclear Production or Utilization Facilities” (57 FR 6462; February 25, 1992), has been amenable to accommodating States' and Tribes' needs in this regard. The NRC uses the information collected under this information collection requirement to allow States and Federally recognized Indian Tribes to participate in or observe inspections at NRC-licensed facilities. The types of information collected include written requests identifying specific inspections States and Tribes wish to observe; identification-related information required for site access to NRC-licensed facilities; training and qualifications of State and Tribal personnel participating in inspections; information required to define inspection roles for States and Tribes; and information to coordinate NRC and State and Tribal inspections.

NASA Safety Reporting System

Key Information

Abstract

The NASA Safety Reporting System (NSRS) was established to provide a fast response hazard identification and reporting system, which aids in the elimination of unsafe conditions and the prevention of accidents. In addition, the NSRS serves as a mechanism for elevating problems to selected upper management when standard channels fail. The NSRS is a voluntary, anonymous, and non-punitive supplement to formal safety reporting procedures and is administered by an independent agent, ARES Corporation of McLean Virginia. The only means of reporting to the NSRS is the NSRS report form, which is available to all NASA and contractor employees. During the first year of operation the NSRS handled safety hazard reports pertaining to the Space Shuttle program. Subsequently, the NSRS has been expanded to handle safety hazard reports pertaining to all NASA programs, projects, and operations. The information provided by these reports has resulted in direct changes to NASA policies, procedures, and operations which has significantly reduced NASA's safety risk. Information collected is maintained in accordance with NASA Records Retention Schedule 1441.1, 2017 Edition. This information collection enables NASA Contractors to voluntarily and confidentially report safety concerns or hazards pertaining to any NASA program, project, or operation which has not been resolved through local safety reporting processes. The report is received and processed by an independent agent. No changes to the collection instrument have been made since the collection's previous PRA approval in 2016.

Hospital Outpatient Quality Reporting (OQR) Program (CMS-10250)

Key Information

Abstract

Section 109(a) of the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 (TRHCA) (Pub. L. 109-432) amended section 1833(t) of the Social Security Act by adding a new subsection (17) that affects the payment rate update applicable to Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) payments for services furnished by hospitals in outpatient settings on or after January 1, 2009. Section 1833(t)(17)(A) of the Social Security Act, which applies to hospitals as defined under section 1886(d)(1)(B) of the Social Security Act, requires that hospitals that fail to report data required for quality measures selected by the Secretary in the form and manner required by the Secretary under section 1833(t)(17)(B) of the Social Security Act will incur a reduction in their annual payment update (APU) factor to the hospital outpatient department fee schedule by 2.0 percentage points. Hospital OQR Program payment determinations are made based on Hospital OQR Program quality measure data reported and supporting forms submitted by hospitals as specified through rulemaking. To reduce burden, a variety of different data collection mechanisms are employed, with every consideration taken to employ existing data and data collection systems.

Notice Requirements of the Health Care Continuation Coverage Provisions

Key Information

Abstract

The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA) provides that under certain circumstances participants and beneficiaries of group health plans that satisfy the definition of “qualified beneficiaries” under COBRA may elect to continue group health coverage temporarily following events known as “qualifying events” that would otherwise result in loss of coverage. Under the regulatory guidelines, plan administrators are required to distribute notices: a general notice to be distributed to all participants in group health plans subject to COBRA; an employer notice that must be completed by the employer upon the occurrence of a qualifying event; a notice and election form to be sent to a participant upon the occurrence of a qualifying event that might cause the participant to lose group health coverage; an employee notice that may be completed by a qualified beneficiary upon the occurrence of certain qualifying events such as divorce or disability; and, two other notices, one of early termination and the other a notice of unavailability. Also included in the ICR are two model notices that the Department believes will help reduce costs for service providers in preparing and delivering notices to comply with the regulations.

Statutory Exemption for Cross-Trading of Securities

Key Information

Abstract

The Statutory Exemption for Cross-Trading of Securities regulation (29 CFR 2550.408b-19) implements the content requirements for the written cross-trading policies and procedures required under section 408(b)(19)(H) of ERISA, as added by section 611(g) of the Pension Protection Act of 2006, Public Law 109-280 (the PPA). Section 611(g)(1) of the PPA created a statutory exemption, added to section 408(b) of ERISA as subsection 408(b)(19), that exempts from the prohibitions of sections 406(a)(1)(A) and 406(b)(2) of ERISA those cross-trading transactions involving the purchase and sale of a security between an account holding assets of a pension plan and any other account managed by the same investment manager, provided that certain conditions are satisfied. On October 7, 2008, the Department issued final regulations regarding cross-trading policies and procedures (73 FR 58450). The regulation provides that the policies and procedures for cross-trading under the statutory exemption must meet certain content requirements. The statutory exemption requires, as a condition to exemptive relief, that an investment manager's policies and procedures regarding cross-trading be provided in advance to the fiduciary of any plan that is considering agreeing to allow its assets to be managed under the investment manager's cross-trading program. The investment manager is also required, under the statutory exemption, to designate a compliance officer responsible for periodically reviewing the investment manager's cross-trading program to ensure compliance with the investment manager's cross-trading written policies and procedures. The statutory exemption requires the compliance officer to issue an annual report to each plan fiduciary describing the steps performed during the course of the review, the level of compliance, and any specific instances of noncompliance. The exemption does not require any reporting or filing with the Federal government.

NESHAP for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ) (Final Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ) were proposed on December 19, 2002: promulgated on June 15, 2004; and revised on: June 26, 2006; January 18, 2008; January 30, 2013; and February 27, 2014, and August 10, 2022. These regulations apply to owners and operators of a stationary reciprocating internal combustion engines (RICE) at either a major or area source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions, except if the stationary RICE is being tested at a stationary RICE test cell/stand. A stationary RICE is any internal combustion engine which uses reciprocating motion to convert heat energy into mechanical work and which is not mobile. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. Current amendments to the regulations mainly add electronic reporting provisions to the rule. In general, the changes do not result in regulated entities needing to submit anything additional electronically that is not currently submitted via paper copies, and this is therefore expected to lessen recordkeeping and reporting burden. This supporting statement addresses incremental information collection activities that will be imposed by the amendments to the NESHAP for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines.
