DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Employment and Training 

Administration 

Announcement Regarding 

Pennsylvania Triggering ‘‘Off’’ Tier 

Four of Emergency Unemployment 

Compensation 2008 (EUC08). 

AGENCY: Employment and Training 

Administration, Labor. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Announcement regarding 

Pennsylvania’s triggering ‘‘off’’ Tier Four 

of Emergency Unemployment 

Compensation 2008 (EUC08). 

Public Law 111–312 extended 

provisions in Public Law 111–92 which 

amended prior laws to create a Third 

and Fourth Tier of benefits within the 

EUC08 program for qualified 

unemployed workers claiming benefits 

in high unemployment states. The 

Department of Labor produces a trigger 

notice indicating which states qualify 

for EUC08 benefits within Tiers Three 

and Four and provides the beginning 

and ending dates of payable periods for 

each qualifying state. The trigger notice 

covering state eligibility for the EUC08 

program can be found at: http:// 

ows.doleta.gov/unemploy/ 

claims_arch.asp. 

Based on data published March 10, 

2011, by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 

the following trigger change has 

occurred for Pennsylvania in the EUC08 

program: 

• The seasonally-adjusted total 

unemployment rate for the 3-month 

period ending January 2011 for 

Pennsylvania fell below the 8.5% 

threshold to remain ‘‘on’’ Tier Four of 

the EUC08 program. As a result, the 

payable period for Pennsylvania in Tier 

Four of the EUC08 program will 

conclude April 2, 2011, and the 

maximum potential entitlement of 47 

weeks will decrease to a maximum 

potential entitlement of 34 weeks in the 

EUC08 program. 

Information for Claimants 

The duration of benefits payable in 

the EUC program, and the terms and 

conditions under which they are 

payable, are governed by Public Laws 

110–252, 110–449, 111–5, 111–92, 111–

believe they may be entitled to 

additional benefits under the EUC08 

program, or who wish to inquire about

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Congress 

directed the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) to prepare an annual 

Report to Congress on the Costs and 

Benefits of Federal Regulations. 

Specifically, Section 624 of the FY 2001 

Treasury and General Government 

Appropriations Act, also known as the 

‘‘Regulatory Right-to-Know Act,’’ (the 

Act) requires OMB to submit a report on 

the costs and benefits of Federal 

regulations together with 

recommendation for reform. The Act 

states that the report should contain 

estimates of the costs and benefits of 

regulations in the aggregate, by agency 

and agency program, and by major rule, 

as well as an analysis of impacts of 

Federal regulation on State, local, and 

Tribal governments, small businesses, 

wages, and economic growth. The Act 

also states that the report should be 

subject to notice and comment and peer 

review. 

In this draft Report, available at: 

http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/ 

inforeg_regpol_reports_congress/, OMB 

offers the following recommendations: 

1. Consistent with Executive Order 13563, 

regulatory decisions and priority-setting 

should be made in a way that is attentive to 

the importance of promoting economic 

growth, innovation, job creation, and 

competitiveness. 

2. Agencies should accompany all 

economically significant regulations with (1) 

a tabular presentation, placed prominently 

and offering a clear statement of qualitative 

and quantitative benefits and costs of the 

proposed or planned action, together with (2) 

a presentation of uncertainties and (3) similar 

information for reasonable alternatives to the 

proposed or planned action. 

3. Agencies should continue to use 

‘‘breakeven analysis’’ when quantification is 

not possible, with such analysis defined as 

the specification of how high the 

unquantified or unmonetized benefits would 

have to be in order for the benefits to justify 

the costs. 

4. Consistent with OMB Circular A–4, for 

regulations intended to reduce mortality 

risks, agencies should consider the use of 

cost-effectiveness analysis and, specifically, 

the development of estimates for the ‘‘net cost 

per life saved.’’ 

5. Consistent with Executive Order 13563, 

and in particular the emphasis on ‘‘the open 

exchange of information and perspectives 

among state, local, and tribal officials, 

experts in relevant disciplines, affected 

stakeholders in the private sector, and the 

public as a whole,’’ agencies should promote 

public participation and transparency 

through the use of regulations.gov and other 

technological means. 

6. In order to promote trade and exports, 

agencies should promote regulatory 

cooperation initiatives alongside key trading 

partners. 

Consistent with Executive Order 

13563, OMB is especially interested in 

how to improve retrospective analysis of 

existing rules. OMB requests 

information about published and 

unpublished studies, conceptual and 

empirical, involving such retrospective 

analysis. OMB also requests suggestions 

about how to improve understanding of 

the accuracy of prospective analyses of 

rules and how to undertake 

retrospective analysis. Methodological 

suggestions are particularly welcome. 

Suggestions about particular rules that 

should be reevaluated, as well as studies 

of particular rules, should be directed to 

the agencies themselves.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 50–156; NRC–2010–0203] 

University of Wisconsin; Notice of 

Issuance of Renewed Facility License 

No. R–74 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC, the Commission) has 

issued renewed Facility License No. R– 

74, held by the University of Wisconsin 

(the licensee), which authorizes 

continued operation of the University of 

Wisconsin Nuclear Reactor (UWNR), 

located in Madison, Dane County, 

Wisconsin. The UWNR is a pool-type, 

light-water-moderated and cooled 

TRIGA (Training, Research, Isotope 

Production, General Atomics) reactor 

licensed to operate at a steady-state 

power levels up to and including 

1 megawatt thermal and short duration 

power pulses with reactivity insertions 

up to 1.4% Dk/k. The renewed Facility 

License No. R–74 will expire at 

midnight 20 years from its date of 

issuance. 

The renewed facility license complies 

with the standards and requirements of 

the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as 

amended (the Act), and the 

Commission’s rules and regulations. 

The Commission has made appropriate 

findings as required by the Act and the 

Commission’s regulations in Title 10, 

Chapter 1, ‘‘Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission,’’ of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR), and sets forth 

those findings in the renewed facility 

license. The agency afforded an 

opportunity for hearing in the Notice of 

Opportunity for Hearing published in 

the Federal Register on June 18, 2010 

(75 FR 34769–34774). The NRC received 

no request for a hearing or petition for 

leave to intervene following the notice. 

The NRC staff prepared a safety 

evaluation report for the renewal of 

Facility License No. R–74 and 

concluded, based on that evaluation, the 

licensee can continue to operate the 

facility without endangering the health 

and safety of the public. The NRC staff 

also prepared an Environmental 

Assessment and Finding of No 

Significant Impact for the renewal of the 

facility license, noticed in the Federal 

Register on September 16, 2010 (75 FR 

56597–56601), and concluded that 

renewal of the facility license will not 

have a significant impact on the quality 

of the human environment. 

For details with respect to the 

application for renewal, see the 

licensee’s letter dated May 9, 2000 

(ML093570404), as supplemented on 

September 7, 2004 (ML093570441); 

October 17, 2008 (ML100740573); June 

16, 2010 (two letters, ML101690137 and

(ML110340310), and February 8, 2011 

(ML110410534). Documents may be 

examined, and/or copied for a fee, at the 

NRC’s Public Document Room (PDR), 

located at One White Flint North, 11555 

Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, 

Maryland. Publicly available records
