8228 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 22 / Thursday, February 4, 2021 / Notices 

A person filing electronically using 

the NRC’s adjudicatory E-Filing system 

may seek assistance by contacting the 

NRC’s Electronic Filing Help Desk 

through the ‘‘Contact Us’’ link located 

on the NRC’s public website at https:// 

www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html, by email to 

MSHD.Resource@nrc.gov, or by a tollfree call at 1–866–672–7640. The NRC 

Electronic Filing Help Desk is available 

between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., Eastern 

Time, Monday through Friday, 

excluding government holidays. 

Participants who believe that they 

have a good cause for not submitting 

documents electronically must file an 

exemption request, in accordance with 

10 CFR 2.302(g), with their initial paper 

filing stating why there is good cause for 

not filing electronically and requesting 

authorization to continue to submit 

documents in paper format. Such filings 

must be submitted by: (1) First class 

mail addressed to the Office of the 

Secretary of the Commission, U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 

Washington, DC 20555–0001, Attention: 

Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff; or 

(2) courier, express mail, or expedited 

delivery service to the Office of the 

Secretary, 11555 Rockville Pike, 

Rockville, Maryland 20852, Attention: 

Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff. 

Participants filing adjudicatory 

documents in this manner are 

responsible for serving the document on 

all other participants. Filing is 

considered complete by first-class mail 

as of the time of deposit in the mail, or 

by courier, express mail, or expedited 

delivery service upon depositing the 

document with the provider of the 

service. A presiding officer, having 

granted an exemption request from 

using E-Filing, may require a participant 

or party to use E-Filing if the presiding 

officer subsequently determines that the 

reason for granting the exemption from 

use of E-Filing no longer exists. 

Documents submitted in adjudicatory 

proceedings will appear in the NRC’s 

electronic hearing docket that is 

available to the public at https://

adams.nrc.gov/ehd, unless excluded 

pursuant to an order of the Commission 

or the presiding officer. If you do not 

have an NRC-issued digital ID certificate 

as previously described, click ‘‘cancel’’ 

when the link requests certificates and 

you will be automatically directed to the 

NRC’s electronic hearing dockets where 

you will be able to access any publicly 

available documents in a particular 

hearing docket. Participants are 

requested not to include personal 

privacy information, such as social 

security numbers, home addresses, or 

personal phone numbers in their filings, 

unless an NRC regulation or other law 

requires submission of such 

information. For example, in some 

instances, individuals provide home 

addresses in order to demonstrate 

proximity to a facility or site. With 

respect to copyrighted works, except for 

limited excerpts that serve the purpose 

of the adjudicatory filings and would 

constitute a Fair Use application, 

participants are requested not to include 

copyrighted materials in their 

submission. 

The Commission will issue a notice or 

order granting or denying a hearing 

request or intervention petition, 

designating the issues for any hearing 

that will be held and designating the 

Presiding Officer. A notice granting a 

hearing will be published in the Federal 

Register and served on the parties to the 

hearing.

application, see the application dated 

December 23, 2020, and the HDI PSDAR 

and Site-Specific Decommissioning Cost 

Estimate dated December 23, 2020.

BILLING CODE 7590–01–P 

OFFICE OF SPECIAL COUNSEL 

OSC Annual Survey 

AGENCY: U.S. Office of Special Counsel. 

ACTION: Notice of modification of 

information collection. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Office of Special 

Counsel (OSC), seeks approval from the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for use of a modified survey that 

differs only slightly from the most 

recently approved information 

collection, OSC’s 2020 Annual Survey. 

By statute, OSC must conduct an annual 

survey to collect feedback from those 

who have contacted OSC for assistance, 

either by filing complaints and/or 

disclosures with OSC, or by seeking 

Hatch Act Advisory Opinions. This OSC 

annual survey consists of four electronic 

questionnaires (one for each type of 

assistance an individual can seek from 

OSC), each asking between five and ten 

questions. OSC invites comments on: (a) 

The accuracy of OSC’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collections of 

information; (b) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (c) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

received on or before March 8, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit written 

comments by mail to: Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Office of Management and Budget, 

Attention: Desk Officer for OSC, New 

Executive Office Building, Room 10235, 

Washington, DC 20503; or by email via: 

oira_submission@omb.eop.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Amy Beckett, Senior Litigation Counsel, 

by telephone at (202) 804–7000, or by 

email at frliaison@osc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OSC is a 

permanent independent federal 

investigative and prosecutorial agency. 

OSC’s basic authorities come from four 

federal statutes: The Civil Service 

Reform Act, the Whistleblower 

Protection Act, the Hatch Act, and the 

Uniformed Services Employment & 

Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). 

OSC’s primary mission is to safeguard 

the merit system by protecting federal 

employees and applicants from 

prohibited personnel practices, 

especially reprisal for whistleblowing, 

and to serve as a safe channel for 

allegations of wrongdoing. OSC is 

required to conduct an annual survey of 

individuals who seek its assistance. 

OSC conducts an annual survey 

pursuant to Section 13 of Public Law 

103–424 (1994), codified at 5 U.S.C. 

1212 note, which states, in part: ‘‘[T]he 

survey shall—(1) determine if the 

individual seeking assistance was fully 

apprised of their rights; (2) determine 

whether the individual was successful 

either at the Office of Special Counsel 

or the Merit Systems Protection Board; 

and (3) determine if the individual, 

whether successful or not, was satisfied 

with the treatment received from the 

Office of Special Counsel.’’ The statute 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 22 / Thursday, February 4, 2021 / Notices 8229 

requires OSC to publish the survey’s 

results in OSC’s annual report to 

Congress. Copies of prior years’ annual 

reports are available on OSC’s website, 

at https://osc.gov/Pages/ResourcesReportsAndInfo.aspx or by calling OSC 

at (202) 804–7000. The 2020 OSC 

Annual Survey, OMB Control Number 

3255–0003, expires on March 30, 2021. 

OSC will use the questionnaires to 

survey all persons who contacted OSC 

for assistance during the relevant time 

period. 

The survey questionnaires are 

available for review online at https://

osc.gov/Resources/Pages/ 

Reports.aspx#tabGroup07 or by calling 

OSC at (202) 804–7000. 

Type of Information Collection 

Request: The survey seeks to determine 

whether individuals seeking assistance 

were fully apprised of their rights; were 

successful either at OSC or the MSPB; 

and whether successful or not, were 

satisfied with the treatment they 

received from OSC. 

Affected public: Individuals (or their 

representatives) who sought OSC 

services through: (1) Submitting 

complaints alleging prohibited 

personnel practices, USERRA 

violations, or Hatch Act violations; (2) 

disclosures of information alleging 

violation of law, rule, or regulation, 

gross mismanagement or waste of funds, 

abuse of authority, substantial and 

specific danger to public health and/or 

safety, or censorship related to scientific 

research; or (3) seeking Hatch Act 

advisory opinions. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Estimated Annual Number of Survey 

Form Respondents: 500. 

Frequency of Survey form use: Onetime. 

Estimated Average Amount of Time 

for a Person to Respond to survey: 5.3 

minutes. 

Estimated Annual Survey Burden: 44 

hours.
