SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC 

requested public comment on May 4, 

2009 (74 FR 20510), on its Proposed 

Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) DC/COL– 

ISG–013 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML090830488). The purpose of this ISG 

is to modify and provide Combined 

License (COL) and Design Certification 

(DC) applicants additional clarity and 

guidance for the application of Standard 

Review Plan (SRP) Sections 11.2 and 

2.4.13 on the characterization of hydro 

geological properties of a site associated 

with the effects of accidental releases of 

radioactive liquid on existing or likely 

future uses of ground and surface water 

resources in meeting the requirements 

of Title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations, Part 100 (10 CFR 100.10 or 

100.20) and Appendix B to 10 CFR part 

20 on effluent concentration limits. This 

ISG would revise the staff guidance 

previously issued in March 2007 in the 

SRP NUREG–0080, ‘‘Standard Review 

Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis 

Reports for Nuclear Power Plants,’’ 

Sections 11.2 and 2.4.13. These two SRP 

sections are not internally consistent in 

identifying acceptable criteria for 

assessing the consequences of 

accidental releases of radioactive 

materials, or in providing guidance to 

the staff and applicants to establish 

conditions for such releases and define 

acceptable assumptions to describe 

exposure scenarios and pathways to 

members of the public. The NRC staff 

issues DC/COL–ISGs to facilitate timely 

implementation of current staff 

guidance and to facilitate activities 

associated with review of applications 

for DCs and COLs by the Office of New 

Reactors. The NRC staff will also 

incorporate the approved DC/COL–ISG– 

013 into the next revision of the SRP 

and related guidance documents. 

The NRC staff is issuing this notice to 

reopen the public comment period for 

proposed DC/COL–ISG–013. After the 

NRC staff considers all public 

comments, it will make a determination 

regarding proposed DC/COL–ISG–013. 

The agency posts its issued staff 

guidance on the agency’s Web site at 

http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doccollections/isg/. 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 16th day 

of February 2010.

SUMMARY: The NRC is soliciting public 

comment on its Proposed Interim Staff 

Guidance (ISG) DC/COL–ISG–014

water flow and transport of accidental 

radionuclide releases necessary to 

demonstrate compliance with the 

requirements of Title 10 of the Code of

100) and Appendix B to 10 CFR part 20 

on effluent concentration limits. The 

NRC staff issues DC/COL–ISGs to

current staff guidance and to facilitate 

activities associated with review of

RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD 

Agency Forms Submitted for OMB 

Review, Request for Comments 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. Chapter 35), the Railroad 

Retirement Board (RRB) will be sending 

an Information Collection Request (ICR) 

to the Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), Office of

information we seek to collect from the 

public. Review and approval by OIRA 

ensures that we impose appropriate 

paperwork burdens. 

The RRB invites comments on the 

proposed collection of information to 

determine (1) the practical utility of the 

collection; (2) the accuracy of the 

estimated burden of the collection; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information that is the 

subject of collection; and (4) ways to 

minimize the burden of collections on 

respondents, including the including 

the use of automated collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. Comments to RRB or OIRA 

must contain the OMB control number
