III. Data 

Application for Relocation Benefits 

Form Numbers: MM # 1110.9 and 

MM1110.10. 

Type of Review: Regular submission. 

Affected Public: Enrolled members of

the Application is information that 

Applicants can be assumed to have 

gathered and maintained in the normal 

course of their lives such as their age, 

marital status, children and 

employment and residence history.

Draft Regulatory Guide: Issuance, 

Availability 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of Issuance and 

Availability of Draft Regulatory Guide, 

DG–3040, ‘‘Design, Construction, and 

Inspection of Embankment Retention 

Systems at Fuel Cycle Facilities.’’ 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Tyrone Naquin, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission, Washington, DC 20555–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is issuing for public 

comment a draft guide in the agency’s 

‘‘Regulatory Guide’’ series. This series 

was developed to describe and make 

available to the public such information 

as methods that are acceptable to the 

NRC staff for implementing specific 

parts of the NRC’s regulations, 

techniques that the staff uses in 

evaluating specific problems or 

postulated accidents, and data that the 

staff needs in its review of applications 

for permits and licenses. 

The draft regulatory guide (DG) is 

temporarily identified by its task 

number, DG–3040, which should be 

mentioned in all related 

correspondence. DG–3040 is proposed 

Revision 1 of Regulatory Guide 3.13, 

dated October 1973. 

This guide describes some 

engineering practices and methods 

generally considered by the NRC to be 

satisfactory for the design, construction, 

and inspection of embankment retention 

systems used for retaining solid and 

liquid effluent from nuclear fuel cycle 

facility operations other than mining 

and milling. These practices and 

methods are the result of NRC review 

and action on a number of specific 

cases, and they reflect the latest general 

engineering approaches that are 

acceptable to the NRC staff. If future 

information results in alternative 

methods, the NRC staff will review such 

methods to determine their 

acceptability. 

II. Further Information 

The NRC staff is soliciting comments 

on DG–3040. Comments may be 

accompanied by relevant information or 

supporting data and should mention 

DG–3040 in the subject line. Comments 

submitted in writing or in electronic 

form will be made available to the 

public in their entirety through the 

NRC’s Agencywide Documents Access 

and Management System (ADAMS). 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

by any one of the following methods. 

Please include Docket ID NRC–2010– 

0072 in the subject line of your 

comments. Comments submitted in 

writing or in electronic form will be 

posted on the NRC Web site and on the 

Federal rulemaking Web site 

Regulations.gov. Because your 

comments will not be edited to remove 

any identifying or contact information, 

the NRC cautions you against including 

any information in your submission that 

you do not want to be publicly 

disclosed. 

The NRC requests that any party 

soliciting or aggregating comments 

received from other persons for 

submission to the NRC inform those 

persons that the NRC will not edit their 

comments to remove any identifying or 

contact information, and therefore, they 

should not include any information in 

their comments that they do not want 

publicly disclosed.

OFFICE OF SPECIAL COUNSEL 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Request for Comment 

AGENCY: Office of Special Counsel. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. Chapter 35), and implementing 

regulations at 5 CFR part 1320, the U.S. 

Office of Special Counsel (OSC), plans 

to request approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for use 

of a previously approved information 

collection consisting of a customer 

survey form. 

OSC is required by law to conduct an 

annual survey of those who seek its 

assistance. The information collection is 

used to carry out that mandate. The 

current OMB approval for this 

collection of information expired on 

March 31, 2009. Current and former 

Federal employees, employee 

representatives, other Federal agencies, 

state and local government employees, 

and the general public are invited to 

comment on this information collection 

for the second time. 

Comments are invited on: 

(a) whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of OSC functions, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of OSC’s estimate of 

the burden of the proposed collections 

of information; 

(c) ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and 

(d) ways to minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

DATES: Comments should be received by 

March 22, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Roderick Anderson, CFO, 

U.S. Office of Special Counsel, 1730 M 

Street, N.W., Suite 218, Washington, DC 

20036–4505. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Roderick Anderson, Chief Financial 

Officer, at the address shown above; by 

facsimile at (202) 254-3715. The survey 

form for the collection of information is 

available for review by calling OSC, or 

on OSC’s Web site, at http:// 

www.osc.gov/readingroom.htm. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OSC is an 

independent agency responsible for, 

among other things, (1) investigation of 

allegations of prohibited personnel 

practices defined by law at 5 U.S.C. 

2302(b), protection of whistleblowers, 

and certain other illegal employment 

practices under titles 5 and 38 of the 

U.S. Code, affecting current or former 

Federal employees or applicants for 

employment, and covered state and 

local government employees; and (2) the 

interpretation and enforcement of Hatch 

Act provisions on political activity in 

chapters 15 and 73 of title 5 of the U.S. 

Code. OSC is required to conduct an 

annual survey of individuals who seek 

its assistance. Section 13 of Public Law 

103-424 (1994), codified at 5 U.S.C. 

1212 note, 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 same section also 

provides that survey results are to be 

published in OSC’s annual report to 

Congress. Copies of prior years’ annual 

reports are available on OSC’s Web site, 

at http://www.osc.gov/ 

RRlAnnualReportsToCongress.htm or 

by calling OSC at (202) 254-3600. 

OSC has enhanced the effectiveness of 

this survey by having revised the 

questions asked, and continues to use 

the online survey, due to its 

effectiveness in reducing response time.
