8296 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 30 / Tuesday, February 14, 2012 / Notices 

3Requestors should note that the filing 

requirements of the NRC’s E-Filing Rule (72 FR 

49139; August 28, 2007) apply to appeals of NRC 

staff determinations (because they must be served 

on a presiding officer or the Commission, as 

applicable), but not to the initial SUNSI request 

submitted to the NRC staff under these procedures. 

availability of interlocutory review by 

the Commission of orders ruling on 

such NRC staff determinations (whether 

granting or denying access) is governed 

by 10 CFR 2.311.3

I. The Commission expects that the 

NRC staff and presiding officers (and 

any other reviewing officers) will 

consider and resolve requests for access 

to SUNSI, and motions for protective 

orders, in a timely fashion in order to 

minimize any unnecessary delays in 

identifying those petitioners who have 

standing and who have propounded 

contentions meeting the specificity and 

basis requirements in 10 CFR part 2. 

Attachment 1 to this Order summarizes 

the general target schedule for 

processing and resolving requests under 

these procedures. 

It is so ordered. 

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 2nd day 

of February, 2012. 

Annette L. Vietti-Cook, 

Secretary of the Commission. 

ATTACHMENT 1—GENERAL TARGET SCHEDULE FOR PROCESSING AND RESOLVING REQUESTS FOR ACCESS TO SENSITIVE

UNCLASSIFIED NON-SAFEGUARDS INFORMATION IN THIS PROCEEDING

Day Event/activity 

0 ........................ Publication of FEDERAL REGISTER notice of hearing and opportunity to petition for leave to intervene, including order with instructions for access requests. 

10 ...................... Deadline for submitting requests for access to Sensitive Unclassified Non-Safeguards Information (SUNSI) with information: 

supporting the standing of a potential party identified by name and address; describing the need for the information in order 

for the potential party to participate meaningfully in an adjudicatory proceeding. 

60 ...................... Deadline for submitting petition for intervention containing: (i) Demonstration of standing; (ii) all contentions whose formulation 

does not require access to SUNSI (+25 Answers to petition for intervention; +7 requestor/petitioner reply). 

20 ...................... Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff informs the requestor of the staff’s determination whether the request for access 

provides a reasonable basis to believe standing can be established and shows need for SUNSI. (NRC staff also informs 

any party to the proceeding whose interest independent of the proceeding would be harmed by the release of the information). If NRC staff makes the finding of need for SUNSI and likelihood of standing, NRC staff begins document processing 

(preparation of redactions or review of redacted documents). 

25 ...................... If NRC staff finds no ‘‘need’’ or no likelihood of standing, the deadline for requestor/petitioner to file a motion seeking a ruling 

to reverse the NRC staff’s denial of access; NRC staff files copy of access determination with the presiding officer (or Chief 

Administrative Judge or other designated officer, as appropriate). If NRC staff finds ‘‘need’’ for SUNSI, the deadline for any 

party to the proceeding whose interest independent of the proceeding would be harmed by the release of the information to 

file a motion seeking a ruling to reverse the NRC staff’s grant of access. 

30 ...................... Deadline for NRC staff reply to motions to reverse NRC staff determination(s). 

40 ...................... (Receipt +30) If NRC staff finds standing and need for SUNSI, deadline for NRC staff to complete information processing and

Agreement for SUNSI. 

A ....................... If access granted: Issuance of presiding officer or other designated officer decision on motion for protective order for access 

to sensitive information (including schedule for providing access and submission of contentions) or decision reversing a 

final adverse determination by the NRC staff. 

A + 3 ................. Deadline for filing executed Non-Disclosure Affidavits. Access provided to SUNSI consistent with decision issuing the protective order. 

A + 28 ............... Deadline for submission of contentions whose development depends upon access to SUNSI. However, if more than 25 days 

remain between the petitioner’s receipt of (or access to) the information and the deadline for filing all other contentions (as

established in the notice of hearing or opportunity for hearing), the petitioner may file its SUNSI contentions by that later 

deadline. 

A + 53 ............... (Contention receipt +25) Answers to contentions whose development depends upon access to SUNSI. 

A + 60 ............... (Answer receipt +7) Petitioner/Intervenor reply to answers. 

>A + 60 ............. Decision on contention admission.

PENSION BENEFIT GUARANTY 

CORPORATION 

Submission of Information Collection 

for OMB Review; Comment Request; 

Survey of Nonparticipating Single 

Premium Group Annuity Rates 

AGENCY: Pension Benefit Guaranty 

Corporation. 

ACTION: Notice of request for extension 

of OMB approval. 

SUMMARY: The Pension Benefit Guaranty 

Corporation (‘‘PBGC’’) is requesting that 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(‘‘OMB’’) extend approval, under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act, of a 

collection of information (OMB control 

number 1212–0030; expires March 31, 

2012). This voluntary collection of 

information is a quarterly survey of 

insurance company rates for pricing 

annuity contracts. The American 

Council of Life Insurers conducts the 

survey for PBGC. This notice informs 

the public of PBGC’s request and solicits 

public comment on the collection of 

information. 

DATES: Comments should be submitted 

by March 15, 2012 

ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to 

the Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs, Office of Management and 

Budget, Attention: Desk Officer for 

Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, 

via electronic mail at 

OIRA_DOCKET@omb.eop.gov or by fax 

to (202) 395–6974. 

Copies of the request (including the 

collection of information) may be 

obtained without charge by writing to 

the Disclosure Division of the Office of 

the General Counsel of PBGC at the 

above address, visiting the Disclosure 

Division, faxing a request to 202–326– 

4042, or calling 202–326–4040 during 

normal business hours. (TTY and TDD 

users may call the Federal relay service 

toll-free at 1–800–877–8339 and ask to 

be connected to 202–326–4040.) The 

Disclosure Division will email, fax, or 

mail the requested information to you, 

as you request. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Thomas H. Gabriel, Attorney, or 

Catherine B. Klion, Manager, Regulatory 

and Policy Division, Legislative and 

Regulatory Department, Pension Benefit 

Guaranty Corporation, 1200 K Street, 

NW., Washington, DC 20005–4026, 202– 

326–4024. (For TTY/TDD users, call the 

Federal relay service toll-free at 1–800– 

877–8339 and ask to be connected to 

202–326–4024.) 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PBGC’s 

regulations prescribe actuarial valuation 

methods and assumptions (including 

interest rate assumptions) to be used in 

determining the actuarial present value 

of benefits under single-employer plans 

that terminate (29 CFR part 4044) and 

under multiemployer plans that 

undergo a mass withdrawal of 

contributing employers (29 CFR part 

4281). Each month PBGC publishes the 

interest rates to be used under those 

regulations for plans terminating or 

undergoing mass withdrawal during the 

next month. 

The interest rates are intended to 

reflect current conditions in the annuity 

markets. To determine these interest 

rates, PBGC gathers pricing data from 

insurance companies that are providing 

annuity contracts to terminating 

pension plans through a quarterly 

‘‘Survey of Nonparticipating Single 

Premium Group Annuity Rates.’’ The 

American Council of Life Insurers 

distributes the survey and provides 

PBGC with ‘‘blind’’ data (i.e., PBGC is 

unable to match responses with the 

companies that submitted them). PBGC 

also uses the information from the 

survey in determining the interest rates 

it uses to value benefits payable to 

participants and beneficiaries in PBGCtrusteed plans for purposes of PBGC’s 

financial statements. 

The survey is directed at insurance 

companies that have volunteered to 

participate, most or all of which are 

members of the American Council of 

Life Insurers. The survey is conducted 

quarterly and will be sent to 

approximately 22 insurance companies. 

Based on experience under the current 

approval, PBGC estimates that 6 

insurance companies will complete and 

return the survey. PBGC further 

estimates that the average annual 

burden of this collection of information 

is 12 hours and $360. 

The collection of information has 

been approved by OMB under control 

number 1212–0030 through March 31, 

2012. PBGC is requesting that OMB 

extend its approval for another three 

years. An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. 

Issued in Washington, DC, this 6th day of 

February 2012.

Director, Legislative and Regulatory 

Department, Pension Benefit Guaranty 

Corporation.
