DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment Standards Administration 

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as 

part of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a preclearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and/or continuing collections of 

information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This 

program helps to ensure that requested 

data can be provided in the desired 

format, reporting burden (time and 

financial resources) is minimized, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of collection 

requirements on respondents can be 

properly assessed. Currently, the 

Employment Standards Administration 

is soliciting comments concerning the 

proposed collection: (1) Comparability 

of Current Work to Coal Mine 

Employment; (2) Coal Mine 

Employment Affidavit; (3) Affidavit of 

Deceased Miner’s Condition. A copy of 

the proposed information collection 

request can be obtained by contacting 

the office listed below in the addresses 

section of this notice.

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the office listed in the 

addresses section below on or before 

December 6, 2004.

ADDRESSES: Ms. Hazel M. Bell, U.S. 

Department of Labor, 200 Constitution 

Ave., NW., Room S–3201, Washington, 

DC 20210, telephone (202) 693–0418, 

fax (202) 693–1451, e-mail

method of transmission for comments 

(mail, fax, or e-mail).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Black Lung Benefits Act of 1977, 

as amended, 30 U.S.C. 901 et seq., 

provides for the payment of benefits to 

coal miners who have contracted black 

lung disease as a result of coal mine 

employment, and their dependents and 

survivors. Once a miner has been 

identified as having performed non-coal 

mine work subsequent to coal mine 

employment, the miner or the miner’s 

survivor is asked to complete a CM–913 

to compare coal mine work to non-coal 

mine work. This employment 

information along with medical 

information is used to establish whether 

the miner is totally disabled due to 

black lung disease caused by coal mine 

employment. The CM–918 is an 

affidavit used to gather coal mine 

employment evidence only when 

primary evidence, such as pay stubs, 

W–2 forms, employer and union 

records, and Social Security records are 

unavailable or incomplete. The CM–

1093 is an affidavit form for recording 

lay medical evidence, used in survivors’

claims in which there is no medical 

evidence that addresses the miner’s 

pulmonary or respiratory condition. 

This information collection is currently 

approved for use through April 30, 

2005. 

II. Review Focus 

The Department of Labor is 

particularly interested in comments 

which: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses. 

III. Current Actions 

The Department of Labor seeks the 

approval of the extension of this 

information collection in order to carry 

out its responsibility to determine 

eligibility for black lung benefits.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By letter 

dated July 30, 2004, as supplemented 

August 13, 2004, General Electric 

Company submitted an application to 

the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC or the Commission), 

in accordance with 10 CFR part 72, 

requesting the amendment of the 

General Electric—Morris Operation 

(GEMO) independent spent fuel storage 

installation (ISFSI) Materials License 

SNM–2500 and the associated Technical 

Specifications (TS) for the GEMO ISFSI 

located in Grundy County, Illinois. The 

amendment application requests 

changes to the GEMO Consolidated 

Safety Analysis Report to reflect the 

current condition of the fuel stored and 

only that equipment necessary for its 

safe storage. The major changes 

proposed include revisions to 

information regarding the spent fuel 

inventory, deletion of the requirement 

for ventilation exhaust vacuum, deletion 

of the requirement to have certain 

instrumentation operative for 

equipment that is no longer in service, 

a change in the methods to verify pool 

water quality, revision to the 

description of the company 

organization, and removal of ‘‘receipt’’

from the license which effectively will 

not permit the GEMO facility to accept 

shipment of any additional spent fuel. 

Commensurate changes to the Technical 

Specifications to reflect these revisions 

are also proposed. This application 

supersedes in its entirety, General 

Electric’s amendment 10 application 

dated April 30, 1998, and amendment 

11 application dated August 13, 2001. 

Amendment requests 10 and 11 were 

withdrawn by GEMO by letter dated 

March 1, 2004. This application was 

docketed under 10 CFR part 72; the 

GEMO ISFSI Docket No. 72–1. The 

amendment of an ISFSI license is 

subject to the Commission’s approval. 

The Director, Office of Nuclear Material 

Safety and Safeguards, or his designee, 

will determine if the amendment 

presents a genuine issue as to whether 

public health and safety will be 

significantly affected and may issue 

either a notice of a hearing or a notice 

of proposed action and opportunity for 

a hearing in accordance with 10 CFR 

72.46(b)(1) or take immediate action on 

the amendment in accordance with 10 

CFR 72.46(b)(2). 

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of 

NRC’s ‘‘Rules of Practice,’’ final NRC 

records and documents regarding this 

proposed action, including the 

application for license amendment 

dated July 30, 2004, as supplemented 

August 13, 2004, and supporting 

documentation, are publically available 

in the records component of NRC’s 

Agencywide Documents Access and 

Management System (ADAMS). These

BILLING CODE 7590–01–P

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

Advisory Committee on Reactor 

Safeguards; Procedures for Meetings 

Background 

This notice describes procedures to be 

followed with respect to meetings 

conducted by the Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission’s (NRC’s) Advisory 

Committee on Reactor Safeguards 

(ACRS) pursuant to the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA). These 

procedures are set forth so that they may 

be incorporated by reference in future 

notices for individual meetings. 

The ACRS is a statutory group 

established by Congress to review and 

report on nuclear safety matters and 

applications for the licensing of nuclear 

facilities. The Committee’s reports 

become a part of the public record. 

The ACRS meetings are conducted in 

accordance with FACA; they are 

normally open to the public and provide 

opportunities for oral or written 

statements from members of the public 

to be considered as part of the 

Committee’s information gathering 

process. ACRS reviews do not normally 

encompass matters pertaining to 

environmental impacts other than those 

related to radiological safety. 

The ACRS meetings are not 

adjudicatory hearings such as those 

conducted by the NRC’s Atomic Safety 

and Licensing Board Panel as part of the 

Commission’s licensing process. 

General Rules Regarding ACRS Full 

Committee Meetings 

An agenda will be published in the 

Federal Register for each full 

Committee meeting. There may be a 

need to make changes to the agenda to 

facilitate the conduct of the meeting. 

The Chairman of the Committee is 

empowered to conduct the meeting in a 

manner that, in his/her judgment, will 

facilitate the orderly conduct of 

business, including making provisions 

to continue the discussion of matters 

not completed on the scheduled day on 

another meeting day. Persons planning 

to attend the meeting may contact the 

Designated Federal Official (DFO) 

specified in the Federal Register Notice 

prior to the meeting to be advised of any 

changes to the agenda that may have 

occurred. 

The following requirements shall 

apply to public participation in ACRS 

full Committee meetings: 

(a) Persons who plan to make oral 

statements and/or submit written 

comments at the meeting should 

provide 35 copies to the DFO at the 

beginning of the meeting. Persons who 

cannot attend the meeting but wishing 

to submit written comments regarding 

the agenda items may do so by sending 

a readily reproducible copy addressed 

to the DFO specified in the Federal 

Register Notice, care of the Advisory 

Committee on Reactor Safeguards, U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 

Washington, DC 20555–0001. 

Comments should be limited to items 

being considered by the Committee. 

Comments should be in the possession 

of the DFO five days prior to the 

meeting to allow time for reproduction 

and distribution. 

(b) Persons desiring to make oral 

statements at the meeting should make 

a request to do so to the DFO. If 

possible, the request should be made 

five days before the meeting, identifying 

the topic(s) to be discussed and the 

amount of time needed for presentation 

so that orderly arrangements can be 

made. The Committee will hear oral 

statements on topics being reviewed at
