provide information or keep records for 

the Government; or (iv) as part of 

customary and usual business or private 

practices. 

We will summarize written responses 

to this notice and address them in our 

submission for OMB approval. As a 

result of your comments, we will make 

any necessary adjustments to the burden 

in our submission to OMB. 

Public Comment Procedures: The 

MMS’s practice is to make comments, 

including names and addresses of 

respondents, available for public 

review. If you wish your name and/or 

address to be withheld, you must state 

this prominently at the beginning of 

your comment. The MMS will honor 

this request to the extent allowable by 

law; however, anonymous comments 

will not be considered. There may be 

circumstances in which we would 

withhold from the record a respondent’s 

identity, as allowable by the law. If you 

wish us to withhold your name and/or 

address, you must state this 

prominently at the beginning of your 

comment. In addition, you must present 

a rationale for withholding this 

information. This rationale must 

demonstrate that disclosure ‘‘would 

constitute an unwarranted invasion of 

privacy.’’ Unsupported assertions will 

not meet this burden. In the absence of 

exceptional, documentable 

circumstances, this information will be 

released. All submissions from 

organizations or businesses, and from 

individuals identifying themselves as 

representatives or officials of 

organizations or businesses, will be 

made available for public inspection in 

their entirety.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to subsection (k)(2) of the Privacy Act, 

5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2), the Agency 

proposes to exempt several of the 

systems of records (or portions of some 

systems) from the following subsections 

of the Privacy Act: (c)(3), (d), (e)(1), 

(e)(4)(G), (e)(4)(H), (e)(4)(I), and (f). The 

Agency’s notice of proposed rulemaking 

setting forth this proposed exemption 

appears elsewhere in today’s issue of 

the Federal Register. 

A report of the proposal to establish 

these systems of records was filed 

pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 552a(r) with 

Congress and the Office of Management 

and Budget. 

General Prefatory Information 

A. All references to the Agency’s 

‘‘unfair labor practice cases’’ in these 

notices include the portion of such 

cases known as ‘‘compliance,’’ during 

which the Agency seeks effectuation of 

remedial provisions of a settlement 

agreement, Board order, or court 

judgment enforcing a Board order. (See 

NLRB Casehandling Manual, Part 

Three—Compliance Proceedings, 

§ 10500.1). 

B. Standard Routine Uses of the 

Records. The following routine uses 

apply to and are incorporated by 

reference into most of the systems of 

records published below, as described 

below for each system. 

Records may be disclosed: 

1. To a federal, state, or local agency 

(including a bar association or other 

legal licensing authority), charged with 

the responsibility for investigating, 

defending, or pursuing violations of law 

or rule (civil, criminal, or regulatory in 

nature), in any case in which there is an 

indication of a violation or potential 

violation of law or rule; 

2. In a federal, state, or local 

proceeding or hearing, which is 

administrative, judicial, or regulatory, in 

accordance with the procedures 

governing such disclosure and 

proceeding or hearing, including, but 

not limited to, National Labor Relations 

Board Rule § 102.118, 29 CFR § 102.118, 

and such records are determined by the 

Agency to be arguably relevant to the 

litigation; 

3. To the Agency’s legal 

representative, including the 

Department of Justice and other outside 

counsel, where the Agency is a party in 

litigation or has an interest in litigation, 

including when any of the following is 

a party to litigation or has an interest in 

such litigation: (a) The Agency, or any 

component thereof; (b) any employee of 

the Agency in his or her official 

capacity; (c) any employee of the 

Agency in her or her individual 

capacity, where the Department of 

Justice has agreed or is considering a 

request to represent the employee; or (d) 

the United States, where the Agency 

determines that litigation is likely to 

affect the Agency or any of its 

components; 

4. To a party or his or her 

representative in an Agency 

administrative unfair labor practice or 

representation proceeding or related 

judicial proceeding, for the purpose of: 

(a) Negotiation or discussion on matters 

in furtherance of resolving the 

proceeding; (b) providing such persons 

with information concerning the 

progress or results of the Agency 

administrative or judicial proceeding; or 

(c) ensuring due process in the Agency’s 

administrative proceedings by 

disclosing copies of all documents 

referenced by the Agency’s 

Casehandling Manual, Part One, Unfair 

Labor Practice Proceedings § 11842 (.1–

.3), or releasing documents in 

accordance with the Board’s Rules and 

Regulations; 

5. To any person who, during the 

course of an Agency administrative 

unfair labor practice or representation 

proceeding or related judicial 

proceeding, is a source for information 

or assists in such proceeding, to the 

extent necessary to obtain relevant 

information or assistance or for a reason 

compatible with the purpose for which 

the record was collected; 

6. To a federal, state, local, or foreign 

agency or agent, in order to: (a) Aid in 

the Agency’s collection, administration, 

and disbursement of remedial funds 

owed under the NLRA; or (b) assist in 

collecting an overdue debt owed to the 

United States by an unfair labor practice 

respondent; 

7. To individuals who need the 

information in connection with the 

processing of an internal Agency 

grievance; 

8. To an arbitrator to resolve disputes 

under a negotiated Agency grievance 

arbitration procedure; 

9. To officials of labor organizations 

recognized under 5 U.S.C., chapter 71, 

when disclosure is not prohibited by 

law, and the data is normally 

maintained by the Agency in the regular 

course of business and is necessary for 

a full and proper discussion, 

understanding, and negotiation of 

subjects within the scope of collective 

bargaining. The foregoing shall have the 

identical meaning as 5 U.S.C. 

7114(b)(4); 

10. To a member of Congress or to a 

congressional staff member in response 

to an inquiry of the congressional office 

made at the request of the constituent 

about whom the records are maintained; 

11. To the public, news media, and 

other individuals and organizations, 

concerning unfair labor practice or 

representation proceedings, limited as 

follows: Administrative unfair labor 

practice or representation hearings are 

usually open to the public, pursuant to 

29 CFR 102.34 and 102.64, and formal 

documents (those documents 

traditionally considered by the Agency 

to be publicly available) are made 

available for public inspection under 

the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 

5 U.S.C. 552. Additionally, Board 

decisions are posted on the Agencys 

Web site at http://www.nlrb.gov, see 5 

U.S.C. 552(a)(2)(A) and (E), and may be 

distributed to publishers. Party and 

party-representative contact information 

is also made available to the public on 

the Agency’s Web site. Information that 

would not be exempt from disclosure 

under the FOIA may also be released to 

the news media, in order to provide 

information on events in an 

administrative or judicial proceeding. 

Such information that would not be 

exempt from disclosure under the FOIA 

is also used to respond to inquiries from 

governmental, non-profit, business, 

labor, and legal organizations, as well as 

academic researchers, concerning 

pending related legislation and Agency 

performance; 

12. To FOIA requesters, when the 

Agency discloses requested documents 

under the circumstances of the Agency’s 

discretionary release policy, set forth in 

the Agency’s FOIA Manual (available on 

the Agencys Web site at http:/ 

www.nlrb.gov); 

13. To the following federal agencies: 

(a) The Office of Management and

SYSTEM NAME: 

Judicial Case Management SystemPending Case List (JCMS–PCL) and 

Associated Headquarters Files. 

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION: 

None. 

SYSTEM LOCATION: 

Records are stored on paper and 

electronic media at Agency 

Headquarters, Office of the Executive 

Secretary, 1099 14th Street, NW., 

Washington, DC 20570. Additionally, 

pursuant to the Agency’s flexiplace and 

telecommuting programs, or due to 

official travel, JCMS–PCL may also be 

accessed from alternative worksites via 

the Internet, including employees’

homes. Associated Headquarters Files 

(or copies of such files) also may be 

temporarily located at alternative 

worksites. All appropriate safeguards 

will be taken at these sites. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM: 

Individual Respondents in unfair 

labor practice cases before the members 

of the National Labor Relations Board 

(‘‘the Board’’); individual Employers in 

representation cases before the Board; 

current and former Agency employees 

assigned to cases. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

(1) Summary information of unfair 

labor practice and representation cases 

before the Board (such as names of 

parties, case status, and Agency 

personnel assignments) is maintained in 

an electronic case tracking system, 

JCMS–PCL. (2) Associated Headquarters 

Files are paper records established and 

maintained for processing unfair labor 

practice and representation proceedings 

before the Board. These records include 

the Official Case Records maintained in 

the Agency’s Headquarters. The paper 

records are administrative and court 

records (such as unfair labor practice 

charges, unfair labor practice 

complaints and answers, representation 

petitions, briefs, motions and orders), 

correspondence, legal research 

memoranda, and other related 

documents. These records include the 

names of parties, and Agency employees 

assigned to the cases. JCMS–PCL and 

Associated Headquarters Files may 

include parties’ home addresses and 

home telephone numbers, if such 

information is provided to the Agency. 

Portions of these records include civil 

investigatory and law enforcement 

information. 

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

29 U.S.C. 159, 160, 161; 44 U.S.C. 

3101; and the Government Performance 

and Results Act of 1993, Pub.L. 103–62, 

107 Stat. 285 (codified in sections of 

Titles 5, 31, and 39 of the U.S. Code). 

PURPOSE: 

JCMS–PCL is an electronic case 

tracking system used by the Offices of 

the Board (Members and their staffs, the 

Office of Representation Appeals, the 

Office of the Solicitor, and the Office of 

the Executive Secretary) to facilitate the 

accurate and timely collection, retrieval, 

and retention of information regarding 

the processing of unfair labor practice 

and representation cases before the 

Board. The information and activities 

tracked by the system may be generated 

by the parties’ filing of briefs, motions, 

and other documents, or by deliberative, 

analytical processes undertaken by 

Board employees assigned to cases. This 

database stores current and historical 

information, and is used to generate 

data for managing the Agency’s case 

processing and resources, creating the 

Agency’s budget, preparing monthly 

and annual reports of casehandling 

activities, and providing requested 

statistical reports to the public. Limited 

information from JCMS–PCL is 

imported into NLRB–25, the Case 

Activity Tracking System (CATS), 

which is a system of records that tracks 

cases for the Agency’s Regional Offices. 

Party and party-representative contact 

information from JCMS–PCL is also 

made available to the public on the 

Agency’s Web site at http:// 

www.nlrb.gov. Associated Headquarters 

Files are paper files maintained to 

adjudicate or otherwise resolve matters 

handled by the Board. These records 

include the Official Case Records 

maintained in the Agency’s 

Headquarters. Other offices of the 

Agency, including the Division of 

Judges located at Agency Headquarters 

and the Division of Enforcement 

Litigation’s Appellate Court Branch, 

also use these records for case 

processing purposes. JCMS–PCL and 

Associated Headquarters Files may also 

be used to assist in evaluating Agency 

employees. 

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

THE PURPOSE OF SUCH USES: 

The standard routine uses applying to 

this system are listed in the General 

Prefatory Statement to this document.

SAFEGUARDS: 

Access to Agency working and storage 

areas is restricted to Agency employees 

who have a need to use the information 

in order to perform their duties, 

custodial personnel, Federal Protective 

Service personnel, and other contractor 

and security personnel. All other 

persons are required to be escorted in 

Agency areas. Associated Headquarters 

Files are maintained in staffed or locked 

areas during working hours. The 

facilities are protected from 

unauthorized access during nonworking hours by the Federal Protective 

Service or other security personnel. 

Those Agency Headquarters employees 

who telecommute and may possess 

Associated Headquarters Files (or copies

who may access JCMS–PCL from 

alternative worksites are instructed as to 

keeping such information in a secure 

manner. 

Electronic system-based access 

controls are in place to prevent data 

misuse. Access to electronic information 

is controlled by administrators who 

determine users’ authorized access 

based on each user’s office and position 

within the office. Access criteria, 

procedures, controls, and 

responsibilities are documented and 

consistent with the policies stated in a 

memorandum titled ‘‘NLRB Access 

Control Standards, Password 

Management,’’ and dated January 23, 

2002. All network users are also warned 

at the time of each network login that 

the system is for use by authorized users 

only, and that unauthorized or improper 

use is a violation of law. 

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL: 

JCMS–PCL information will be 

retained and disposed of in accordance 

with appropriate Agency schedules that 

will be submitted to the National 

Archives and Records Administration 

(NARA) for its approval. Associated 

Headquarters Files are disposed of in 

accordance with the Agency’s

Respondents in unfair labor practice 

cases before the five-member National 

Labor Relations Board (‘‘the Board’’); 

individual Employers in representation 

cases before the Board; current and 

former Agency employees assigned to 

cases. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

Summary information of unfair labor 

practice and representation cases before 

the Board (such as names of parties, 

case status, and Agency personnel 

assignments) is maintained in an 

electronic case tracking system, JCMSeRoom. JCMS-eRoom also provides a 

collaborative electronic space where 

documents are contained in a structured 

repository. These records include the 

names of parties, and Agency employees 

assigned to the cases. 

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

29 U.S.C. 159, 160, 161; 44 U.S.C. 

3101. 

PURPOSE: 

JCMS-eRoom is an electronic case 

tracking system used by the Offices of 

the Board (Members and their staffs, the 

Office of Representation Appeals, the 

Office of the Solicitor, and the Office of 

the Executive Secretary) to facilitate the 

accurate and timely collection, retrieval, 

and retention of information regarding 

the processing of unfair labor practice 

and representation cases before the 

Board. JCMS-eRoom is also used by 

Board employees to electronically 

collaborate on the drafting of decisions 

and disposition of cases. The 

information and activities tracked by the 

system may be generated by the parties’

filing of briefs, motions, and other 

documents, or by deliberative, 

analytical processes undertaken by 

Board employees assigned to cases. This 

database stores current and historical 

information, and is used to generate 

data for managing the Agency’s case 

processing and resources. Limited 

information from JCMS-eRoom is 

imported into NLRB–21, JCMS–PCL.

BILLING CODE 7545–01–P 

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 50–263] 

Nuclear Management Company, LLC; 

Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant; 

Exemption 

1.0 Background 

Nuclear Management Company, LLC 

(the licensee), is the holder of Facility 

Operating License No. DPR–22 which 

authorizes operation of Monticello 

Nuclear Generating Plant (MNGP). The 

license provides, among other things, 

that the facility is subject to all rules, 

regulations, and orders of the U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, 

the Commission) now or hereafter in 

effect. 

The facility consists of a boiling-water 

reactor located in Wright County in 

Minnesota. 

2.0 Request/Action 

Appendix J to Title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR) specifies 

the leakage rate test requirements, 

schedules, and acceptance criteria for 

tests of the leak-tight integrity of the 

primary reactor containment and 

systems and components that penetrate 

the containment. Option B, Paragraph 

III.A, of Appendix J requires that the 

overall integrated leakage rate must not 

exceed the allowable leakage (La) with 

margin, as specified in the plant’s 

Technical Specifications. The overall 

integrated leakage rate, as specified in 

Appendix J, includes the contribution 

from main steam pathway leakage (i.e., 

through the four main steam lines and 

the main steam drain line at MNGP). 

Option B, Paragraph III.B requires that 

the sum of the leakage rates of Type B 

and Type C local leakage rate tests be 

less than the performance criterion (La) 

with margin, as specified in the 

Technical Specifications. 

By letter dated September 15, 2005, 

the licensee requested exemption from 

Option B, Section III.A, requirements to 

exclude main steam isolation valve 

(MSIV) leakage from the overall 

integrated leak rate test measurement, 

and exemption from Section III.B 

requirements to exclude the MSIV 

leakage from the sum of the Type B and 

Type C tests. The licensee stated that 

the MNGP MSIV leakage effluent has a 

different pathway to the environment 

when compared to a typical 

containment penetration, i.e., it is not 

directed into the secondary containment 

and filtered through the standby gas 

treatment system. Instead, the main 

steam leakage is collected and treated 

via an alternative leakage treatment 

pathway, having different mitigation 

characteristics. 

In performing accident analyses, it is 

appropriate to group various leakage 

effluents according to the treatment they 

receive before being released to the 

environment (e.g., from main steam 

pathways). Accordingly, the licensee’s 

proposed exemption from the Appendix 

J requirements would more 

appropriately reflect the MNGP design 

which employs an alternative leakage 

treatment pathway. The calculated 

radiological consequences of the 

combined leakages were found to be 

within the criteria of 10 CFR 50.67 and 

GDC–19. The NRC staff reviewed the 

licensee’s analyses and found them 

acceptable as described in a safety 

analysis accompanying an amendment 

regarding alternative source term 

methodology to be issued concurrently 

with this exemption. By separating the 

MSIV leakage acceptance criteria from 

the overall integrated leak rate test 

criteria, and from the Type B and C 

leakage sum limitation, the MNGP 

containment leakage testing program 

will be made more consistent with the 

limiting assumptions used in the 

associated accident consequences 

analyses. The amendment associated 

with this exemption will revise 

Technical Specification Surveillance 

Requirement 3.6.1.3.13 to limit the 

maximum allowable combined MSIV 

leakage to 200 standard cubic feet per 

hour, which is the analytical limit. 

Based on the foregoing, the separation 

of the main steam pathways from the 

other containment leakage pathways is 

warranted because a separate 

radiological consequence term has been 

provided for these pathways. The 

revised design basis radiological 

consequence analyses address these 

pathways as individual factors, 

exclusive of the primary containment 

leakage. 

3.0 Discussion 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12, the 

Commission may, upon application by 

any interested person or upon its own 

initiative, grant exemptions from the 

requirements of 10 CFR Part 50 when (1) 

The exemptions are authorized by law, 

will not present an undue risk to public 

health or safety, and are consistent with 

the common defense and security; and 

(2) when special circumstances are 

present. The licensee’s exemption 

request was submitted in conjunction 

with an amendment application to 

employ the alternative source term 

(AST) methodology for design-basis 

accidents. The NRC staff had completed 

its review and is issuing the proposed 

amendment on the same date as this 

exemption. The exemption and 

amendment together would implement 

the AST methodology. The special 

circumstances associated with MSIV 

leakage testing are fully described in the 

licensee’s September 15, 2005, 

application for amendment and 

exemption. 

Authorized by Law 

This exemption would exempt 

Nuclear Management Company from 

requirements in 10 CFR Part 50, 

Appendix J, thus (1) Excluding MSIV 

leakage in the overall integrated leakage 

rate test measurement required by 

Section III. A of Appendix J, Option B; 

and (2) excluding the sum of local leak 

rate test measurements required by 

Section III.B of Appendix J, Option B. 

As stated above, 10 CFR 50.12 allows 

the NRC to grant exemptions from the 

requirements of 10 CFR Part 50. The 

NRC staff has determined that granting 

of the licensee’s proposed exemption 

will not result in a violation of the 

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, 

or the Commission’s regulations. 

Therefore, the exemption is authorized 

by law. 

No Undue Risk to Public Health and 

Safety 

The proposed exemption affects only 

the radiological dose analysis models 

and the way containment leak-tightness 

is measured. No new accident 

precursors are created by the exemption; 

accordingly, the probability of 

postulated accidents is not increased 

and the consequences of postulated 

accidents are not increased. Therefore, 

there is no undue risk to public health 

and safety as a result of the exemption.
