Information Collections contained in 10 CFR Parts 26, 57, and 73 Forms 361T, 366, 366A, 366B for Licensing Requirements for Microreactors and Other Reactors with Comparable Risk Profiles Proposed Rule

Key Information

Abstract

PROPOSED RULE- Licensing Requirements for Microreactors and Other Reactors with Comparable Risk Profiles The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to amend its regulations to establish a risk-informed and performance-based regulatory framework for rapid licensing of new microreactors and other reactors with comparable risk profiles and for high-volume deployment of these reactors. The proposed rule would provide a flexible set of licensing pathways, reduce regulatory burden, and ensure that safety and security requirements remain commensurate with the potential hazards posed by these facilities. The purpose of this rulemaking is to expedite the licensing process for microreactors and other reactors with comparable risk profiles. This effort is consistent with, and implements direction in, the Accelerating Deployment of Versatile, Advanced Nuclear for Clean Energy Act of 2024 (ADVANCE Act), and Executive Order (EO) 14300, “Ordering the Reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.” This information collection covers burden associated with proposed Part 57, “Licensing Requirements for Microreactors and Other Reactors with Comparable Risk Profiles,” as well as burden associated with revised information collections in Part 26, “Fitness for Duty Programs,” Part 73, “Physical Protection of Plants and Materials,” and NRC Forms 361, 366, 366A, 366B, 396, and 398. It also includes burden associated with new information collection in proposed Part 57 and proposed Forms 893 and 894.

License for the Use of Personally Identifiable Information Protected Under the E-Government Act of 2002, Title V and the Privacy Act of 1974

Key Information

Abstract

The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) collects and maintains personally identifiable information on tenants in public and assisted housing, the confidentiality of which is protected by the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a). On occasion, HUD shares this information with researchers subject to stringent requirements to protect these households from unauthorized disclosure of information. The purpose for sharing is to further policy-relevant research on the effectiveness of HUD programs. HUD may, under the terms of the Routine Uses published in its various System of Records Notices, share these data with researchers whom HUD has awarded contracts, grants, service agreements, or other agreements. HUD has shared data with contractors and grantees and will continue to share data under service agreements because it has a legal form for effectuating such an agreement. HUD does not limit access to the information to parties that have received specific funding to carry out a study through a grant or contract. Instead, HUD also shares the data with legitimate research organizations that have conceived policy-relevant analyses and that are able and willing to protect the data from unauthorized disclosure. The legal form for the service agreement is herein called a “license.” HUD will continue making the data available for statistical, research, or evaluation purposes to organizations qualified and capable of research and analysis consistent with the statistical, research, or evaluation purposes for which the data were provided or are maintained, but only if the data are used and protected in accordance with the terms and condition stated in the license, upon receipt of such assurance of qualification and capability, and it is agreed by the organization requesting such information and HUD. All data containing personally identifiable information maintained by HUD that are provided the Licensee and all information derived from that data, and all data resulting from mergers, matches, or other uses of the data provided by HUD with other data are subject to the License and are referred to in this License as subject data. Subject data under this License may be in the form of CD-ROMs, electronic data, hard copy, etc. The Licensee may only use the subject data in a manner and to purpose consistent with the statistical, research, or evaluation purpose for which the data are maintained. All subject data that include personally identifiable information are protected under the Privacy Act and may be used only for statistical, research, or evaluation purposes consistent with the purposes for which the data was collected and or is maintained. This ICR includes four requirements that may result in burden on the public: • Application for Data License- Interested parties must complete and submit a Data License Application for HUD review and consideration. • Data License Agreement- Approved applicants will be required to complete a Data License Agreement. • Affidavit of Nondisclosure- All researchers associated with an approved applicant who will be granted access to data must complete an Affidavit of Nondisclosure. • Data Destruction Certification Form- At the conclusion of each project, the research institution must attest to the destruction of all personally identifiable information received from HUD under the data license agreement. The authority to collect information is in Sections 501 and 502 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1970 (Public Law 91-609) (12 U.S.C. §§ 1701z-1; 1701z-2(d) and (g)) and Routine Use Inventory (77 FR 17361). The relevant section of HUD’s statutory authority is included as part of this ICR.

FERC-574, Gas Pipeline Certificates: Hinshaw Exemption

Key Information

Abstract

The 3-year renewal of information collected by FERC-574 is a written application declaring the applicant's intent following the requirements set forth in 18 CFR 152. Although the FERC-574 application provides specific data per 18 CFR 152, the information is not collected on a prescribed or preformatted form. The application provides the information which the applicant must furnish the Commission in order to make a determination as to whether the application meets exemption provisions of Section 1(c) of the Natural Gas Act. It is used by the Commission's staff to research the jurisdictional aspects of the applicant's operations. Commission staff conducts a systematic review of the prepared application with supplemental documentation provided in the filing. The research includes examining maps and land ownership records to establish whether or not there is Federal jurisdiction. In addition, companies that are currently regulated by the Commission and change their status and wish to become non-jurisdictional, must document that they meet the criteria as provided for in Part 152. The required documents allow for a full and complete analysis of a company and provide sufficient data to make a jurisdictional decision. A finding of non-jurisdictional by the Commission can result in the elimination of a substantial paperwork burden for an applicant who might otherwise have to file to comply with sections 4 and 7 of the NGA. Failure to issue these requirements would mean the Commission is not meeting its statutory obligations under Sections 1(c), 4 and 7 of the NGA.

Certificate of Coverage Request

Key Information

Abstract

To obtain a certificate of coverage, SSA requires the worker or employer to write to SSA and provide personally identifiable information and details of employment. The information required to issue a certificate differs depending on the agreement negotiated with a particular country. As a result, SSA created 30 forms for each agreement corresponding to the 30 countries with which we have agreements. The forms require respondents to provide personally identifiable information about the worker; the employer; and residential locations for the worker and employer. Some of the questions include the applicant’s name, U.S. Social Security number, date of birth, country of birth, country of citizenship, country of permanent residence, date of hire, country of hire, beginning and ending date of work assignment in the foreign country, the employer, and residential location in the U.S. and abroad. The respondents are U.S. citizens and residents who wish to work in a foreign country, and their employers.

Truth in Savings (Regulation DD)

Key Information

Abstract

Consumers rely on the disclosures required by The Truth in Savings Act (TISA) and Regulation DD to facilitate informed decision-making regarding deposit accounts offered at depository institutions. Without this information, consumers would be severely hindered in their ability to assess the true costs and terms of the deposit accounts offered. Federal agencies and private litigants use the records to ascertain whether accurate and complete disclosures of depository accounts have been provided to consumers. This information also provides the primary evidence of law violations in TISA enforcement actions brought by the CFPB. Without the Regulation DD recordkeeping requirement, the CFPB's ability to enforce TISA would be significantly impaired.

Patent Petitions Related to Application and Reexamination Processing Fees

Key Information

Abstract

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is required by 35 U.S.C. § 131 et seq. to examine an application for patent and, when appropriate, issue a patent. The USPTO also is required to publish patent applications, with certain exceptions, promptly after the expiration of a period of eighteen months from the earliest filing date for which a benefit is sought under Title 35, United States Code. Many actions taken by the USPTO during its examination of an application for patent or for reissue of a patent, or during its reexamination of a patent, are subject to review by an appeal to the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB); appeals to PTAB are covered in other OMB approved information collections (0651-0063 and 0651-0069). For other USPTO actions, review is in the form of administrative review obtained via submission of a petition to the USPTO. USPTO petitions practice also provides an opportunity for a patent applicant or owner to supply additional information that may be required in order for the USPTO to further process an application or patent. This information collection covers petitions filed in patent applications and reexamination proceedings that, when submitted to the USPTO, must be accompanied by the fee set forth in 37 CFR 1.17(f), (g), or (h). This information collection also covers the transmittals for the petitions fees.

Pacific Cod Trawl Cooperative Program

Key Information

Abstract

This is a renewal and revision of a previously approved collection for the Pacific Cod Trawl Cooperative Program (PCTC Program). This collection contains ongoing information collection requirements submitted by participating harvesters and processors for the following forms: (1) Application for PCTC Program Cooperative Quota (CQ), (2) Application for Inter-Cooperative Transfer of CQ, (3) Application for Transfer of PCTC Program Quota Share (QS) for Processors, and (4) Notification of Intent to Process PCTC Program Pacific Cod. As part of this revision, NMFS is removing the following forms which are no longer needed: (1) Application for PCTC Program Quota Share (QS) and (2) Ninety-Day Transfer Window for Non-Exempt American Fisheries Act (AFA) License Limitation Program (LLP) holders. This revision also removes the formal appeal process for CQ allocations, as this was only used during implementation of the program. The PCTC Program is a limited access privilege program for the harvest of Pacific cod in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands trawl catcher vessel sector. This program is necessary to increase the value of fishery, minimize bycatch to the extent practicable, provide for the sustained participation of fishery-dependent communities, ensure the sustainability and viability of the resource, and promote safety and stability in the harvesting and processing sectors. This information collection contains the collection instruments necessary for NMFS to implement the PCTC Program and manage cooperative quota and quota share in this fishery.
