Division of Coal Mine Workers’ 

Compensation; 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 pre-clearance 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. 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 Office 

of Workers’ Compensation Programs is 

soliciting comments concerning the 

proposed collection: Notice of 

Termination, Suspension, Reduction or 

Increase in Benefit Payments (CM–908). 

A copy of the 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 

August 28, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

by mail, delivery service, or by hand to 

Ms. Yoon Ferguson, U.S. Department of 

Labor, 200 Constitution Ave. NW, Room 

S–3323, Washington, DC 20210; by fax 

to (202) 354–9647; or by Email to 

ferguson.yoon@dol.gov. Please use only 

one method of transmission for 

comments (mail/delivery, fax, or Email). 

Please note that comments submitted 

after the comment period will not be 

considered. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background: The Office of Workers’ 

Compensation Programs (OWCP) 

administers the Black Lung Benefits Act 

(BLBA), 30 U.S.C. 901 et seq. Coal mine 

operators, their representatives, or their 

insurers who have been identified as 

responsible for paying Black Lung 

benefits to an eligible miner or an 

eligible surviving dependent of the 

miner are called Responsible Operators 

(RO’s). RO’s that pay benefits are 

required to report any change in the 

benefit amount to the Department of 

Labor (DOL). The CM–908, when 

completed and sent to DOL, notifies 

DOL of the change in the beneficiary’s 

benefit amount and the reason for the 

change. The BLBA and 20 CFR 725.621 

necessitate this information collection. 

This information collection is currently 

approved for use through August 31, 

2018. 

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 approval for the 

extension of this currently approved 

information collection to insure that the 

correct benefits are paid by RO’s. If this 

information were not gathered, there 

would be no way to insure that black 

lung beneficiaries who receive benefit 

payments from RO’s are receiving the 

correct amount of benefits. 

Type of Review: Extension. 

Agency: Office of Workers’ 

Compensation Programs. 

Title: Notice of Termination, 

Suspension, Reduction or Increase in 

Benefit Payments. 

OMB Number: 1240–0030.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

In December 2014, ZionSolutions, 

LLC (ZS, the licensee) submitted a 

license amendment request, which 

included the LTP for Zion Nuclear 

Power Station, Units 1 and 2 (ZNPS). 

The LTP was updated by ZS twice, in 

June 2017 and February 2018. The NRC 

is considering amending licenses DPR– 

39 and DPR–48 to add a license 

condition that reflects the NRC’s 

approval of the LTP and provides 

criteria for when NRC approval is need 

for LTP changes. As required by part 51 

of Title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR), ‘‘Environmental 

Protection Regulations for Domestic 

Licensing and Related Regulatory 

Functions,’’ the NRC prepared a final 

EA. Based on the results of the final EA, 

described as follows, the NRC has 

determined not to prepare an 

environmental impact statement (EIS) 

for the amendment, and is issuing a 

FONSI. 

II. Environmental Assessment 

Description of the Proposed Action 

The proposed action is the NRC’s 

review and approval of the ZNPS LTP. 

In its license amendment request, ZS 

requested amendment of the ZNPS 

licenses to add license conditions (1) 

reflecting the NRC staff’s approval of the 

LTP and (2) providing criteria for when 

NRC approval is needed for LTP 

changes. If the NRC approves the LTP, 

the approval will be issued in the form 

of an amendment to the ZNPS licenses 

to add the requested license conditions. 

The LTP describes the process the 

licensee will use to meet the 

requirements for terminating the 

operating licenses and to release the site 

for unrestricted use. The LTP outlines 

the remaining decommissioning and 

dismantling activities. 

Need for the Proposed Action 

The purpose of and need for the 

proposed action is to allow for the 

completion of decommissioning of the 

ZNPS site by the licensee, the 

termination of the ZNPS license 

operating licenses by the NRC, and the 

subsequent release of the ZNPS site for 

unrestricted use. The NRC will 

terminate the licenses if it determines 

that the site meets the performancebased criteria for unrestricted site 

release, in accordance with 10 CFR 

20.1402, and that the facility has been 

dismantled in accordance with the LTP. 

Environmental Impacts of the Proposed 

Action 

The NRC assessed the environmental 

impacts of the license termination 

activities and remaining 

decommissioning activities and 

determined there would be no 

significant impact to the quality of the 

human environment. 

During its review of the ZNPS LTP, 

the NRC concluded the impacts for most 

resource areas—land use, water 

resources, air quality, ecology, 

socioeconomics, historic and cultural 

resources, aesthetics, noise, and 

transportation—were still bounded by 

the previously issued Decommissioning 

Generic Environmental Impact 

Statement (GEIS). Therefore, the NRC 

does not expect impacts beyond those 

discussed in the GEIS, which concluded 

that the impact level for these issues 

was SMALL. 

In the EA, the NRC evaluated the 

potential site-specific environmental 

impacts of the remaining 

decommissioning and license 

termination activities on climate 

change, public and occupational health, 

environmental justice, and waste 

management and did not identify any 

significant impacts. For protected 

species, the NRC determined that the 

proposed action may affect but not 

likely to adversely affect the rufa red 

knot (Calidris canutus rufa), the piping 

plover (Charadrius melodius), and the 

northern long-eared bat (Myotis 

septentrionalis). The final EA was 

updated to indicate that the proposed 

action would not adversely modify the 

designated critical habitat for the piping 

plover. 

Environmental Impacts of the 

Alternatives to the Proposed Action 

As an alternative to the proposed 

action, the NRC staff considered denial 

of the proposed action (i.e., the ‘‘noaction’’ alternative). Under the no-action 

alternative, the NRC would not approve 

the LTP or the license amendment 

request because regulatory requirements 

have not been met. Consequently, the 

ZNPS licenses would not be terminated, 

decommissioning and other onsite 

maintenance and operational activities 

involving the storage of spent nuclear 

fuel would continue, and the ZNPS site 

would not be released for unrestricted 

use. If the NRC was unable to approve 

the LTP because the regulatory 

requirements were not met, then the 

licensee would have to take the 

necessary actions to ensure the 

regulations are met. 

Agencies and Persons Consulted 

On April 2, 2018, the NRC staff sent 

a copy of the draft EA to the Illinois 

Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) 

for review and comment. The IEMA 

responded on May 03, 2018, with 

several comments on the draft EA that 

were addressed in the final EA. 

The NRC consulted with the U.S. Fish 

and Wildlife Service (FWS) on listed 

protected species at the ZNPS site. On 

April 5, 2018, the NRC requested FWS 

review and concurrence with the NRC’s 

determination that the proposed action 

may affect, but is not likely to adversely 

affect three federally listed species. FWS 

concurred with the NRC’s determination 

on May 31, 2018. In its letter, the FWS 

determined that the analysis of the 

piping plover in the EA was sufficient 

to conclude that the proposed action 

would not adversely modify the 

designated critical habitat for the piping 

plover. The NRC revised the EA to state 

that the designated critical habitat for 

the plover was present within the action 

area and that there would not be adverse 

modifications of designated critical 

habitat for the piping plover. 

III. Finding of No Significant Impact 

Based on its review of the proposed 

action, and in accordance with the 

requirements in 10 CFR part 51, the 

NRC staff has determined that pursuant 

to 10 CFR 51.31, preparation of an EIS 

is not required for the proposed action 

and, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.32, a FONSI 

is appropriate. 

On the basis of the final EA, the NRC 

concludes that the proposed action will 

not have a significant effect on the 

quality of the human environment. 

Accordingly, the NRC has determined 

not to prepare an EIS for the proposed 

action.

Changes To Adopt a Recovery & WindDown Plan and Related Rules 

June 25, 2018. 

On December 18, 2017, The 

Depository Trust Company (‘‘DTC’’), 

Fixed Income Clearing Corporation 

(‘‘FICC’’), and National Securities 

Clearing Corporation (‘‘NSCC’’) 

(collectively, ‘‘Clearing Agencies’’), each 

filed with the Securities and Exchange 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) a 

proposed rule change to adopt a 

recovery and wind-down plan and 

related rules (SR–DTC–2017–021, SR– 

FICC–2017–021, and SR–NSCC–2017– 

017), respectively (‘‘Proposed Rule 

Changes’’), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) 

of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

(‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder.2

The Proposed Rule Changes were 

published for comment in the Federal 

Register on January 8, 2018.3 On 

February 8, 2018, the Commission 

designated a longer period within which 

to approve, disapprove, or institute 

proceedings to determine whether to 

approve or disapprove the Proposed 

Rule Changes.4 On March 20, 2018, the 

Commission instituted proceedings 

pursuant to Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the 

Act 5 to determine whether to approve 

or disapprove the Proposed Rule 

Changes.6 The Commission did not 

receive any comments on the Proposed 

Rule Changes. 

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act 7 provides 

that proceedings to determine whether 

to approve or disapprove a proposed 

rule change must be concluded within 

180 days of the date of publication of 

notice of filing of the proposed rule 

change. The time for conclusion of the 

proceedings may be extended for up to 

60 days if the Commission determines 

that a longer period is appropriate and 

publishes the reasons for such 

determination.8 The 180th day for the 

Proposed Rule Changes is July 7, 2018. 

The Commission is extending the 

period for Commission action on the 

Proposed Rule Changes. The 

Commission finds that it is appropriate 

to designate a longer period within 

which to take action on the Proposed 

Rule Changes so that the Commission 

has sufficient time to consider the issues 

raised by the Proposed Rule Changes 

and to take action on the Proposed Rule 

Changes. The proposal shall not take 

effect until all regulatory actions 

required with respect to the proposal are 

completed.9

Accordingly, pursuant to Section 

19(b)(2)(B)(ii)(II) of the Act 10 and for the 

reasons stated above, the Commission 

designates September 5, 2018, as the 

date by which the Commission should
