Background 

The proposed change revises the 

Improved Standard Technical 

Specification (ISTS), NUREG–1430, 

‘‘Standard Technical Specifications 

Babcock and Wilcox Plants,’’ NUREG– 

1431, ‘‘Standard Technical 

Specifications Westinghouse Plants,’’ 

NUREG–1432, ‘‘Standard Technical 

Specifications Combustion Engineering 

Plants,’’ NUREG–1433, ‘‘Standard 

Technical Specifications General 

Electric Plants BWR [Boiling Water 

Reactor]/4,’’ and NUREG–1434, 

‘‘Standard Technical Specifications 

General Electric Plants, BWR/6.’’ 

Specifically, the proposed change 

revises Surveillance Requirements (SRs) 

for the following systems: The iodine 

cleanup system/shield building air 

cleanup system, the control room 

emergency filtration system, the 

emergency core cooling system (ECCS) 

pump room exhaust air cleanup system, 

and the fuel building air cleanup 

system. This TS improvement is part of 

the consolidated line item improvement 

process (CLIIP). 

Additional Technical Details 

TSTF–522, Revision 0, is applicable 

to all nuclear power plants. The 

proposed change revises SRs for the 

following systems: The iodine cleanup 

system/shield building air cleanup 

system, the control room emergency 

filtration system, the ECCS pump room 

exhaust air cleanup system, and the fuel 

building air cleanup system. In 

particular SRs 3.6.11.1/3.6.13.1, 

3.7.10.1, 3.7.12.1, 3.7.13.1, and 3.7.14.1, 

which currently require operating the 

heaters in the respective systems for at 

least 10 continuous hours every 31 days, 

would be changed to require at least 15 

continuous minutes of heater operation 

every 31 days. 

This notice provides an opportunity 

for the public to comment on proposed 

changes to the ISTS after a preliminary 

assessment and finding by the NRC staff 

that the agency will likely offer the 

changes for adoption by licensees. This 

notice solicits comment on proposed 

changes to the ISTS, which if 

implemented by a licensee will modify 

the plant-specific TS. The NRC staff will 

evaluate any comments received for the 

proposed changes and reconsider the 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
16870 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 56 / Thursday, March 22, 2012 / Notices 

changes or announce the availability of 

the changes for adoption by licensees as 

part of the CLIIP. Licensees opting to 

apply for this TS change are responsible 

for reviewing the NRC staff’s SE, and the 

applicable technical justifications, 

providing any necessary plant-specific 

information, and assessing the 

completeness and accuracy of their 

license amendment request (LAR). The 

NRC will process each amendment 

application responding to the notice of 

availability according to applicable NRC 

rules and procedures. 

The proposed changes do not prevent 

licensees from requesting an alternate 

approach or proposing changes other 

than those proposed in TSTF–522, 

Revision 0. However, significant 

deviations from the approach 

recommended in this notice or the 

inclusion of additional changes to the 

license require additional NRC staff 

review. This may increase the time and 

resources needed for the review or 

result in NRC staff rejection of the LAR. 

Licensees desiring significant deviations 

or additional changes should instead 

submit an LAR that does not claim to 

adopt TSTF–522, Revision 0. 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 14th day 

of March 2012.

RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD 

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request 

Summary: In accordance with the 

requirement of Section 3506 (c)(2)(A) of 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

which provides opportunity for public 

comment on new or revised data 

collections, the Railroad Retirement 

Board (RRB) will publish periodic 

summaries of proposed data collections. 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed information collection is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information has practical 

utility; (b) the accuracy of the RRB’s 

estimate of the burden of the collection 

of the information; (c) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (d) 

ways to minimize the burden related to 

the collection of information on 

respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Title and purpose of information 

collection: Employer’s Quarterly Report 

of Contributions Under the Railroad 

Unemployment Insurance Act; OMB 

3220–0012. 

Under Section 8 of the Railroad 

Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA), 

as amended by the Railroad 

Unemployment Improvement Act of 

1988 (Pub. L. 100–647), the RRB 

determines the amount of an employer’s 

contribution, primarily on the basis of 

the RUIA benefits paid, both 

unemployment and sickness, to the 

employees of the railroad employer. 

These experienced-based contributions 

take into account the frequency, 

volume, and duration of the employees’ 

unemployment and sickness benefits. 

Each employer’s contribution rate 

includes a component for administrative 

expenses as well as a component to 

cover costs shared by all employers. The 

regulations prescribing the manner and 

conditions for remitting the 

contributions and for adjusting 

overpayments or underpayments of 

contributions are contained in 20 CFR 

part 345. RRB Form DC–1, Employer’s 

Quarterly Report of Contributions Under 

the Railroad Unemployment Insurance 

Act, is used by Railroad employers to 

report and remit their quarterly 

contributions to the RRB. Employers can 

use either the manual version of the 

form or its Internet equivalent. One 

response is requested quarterly of each 

respondent and completion is 

mandatory. The RRB proposes no 

changes to Form DC–1. 

ESTIMATE OF ANNUAL RESPONDENT BURDEN

[The estimated annual respondent burden is as follows] 

Form No. Annual responses Time (minutes) Burden (hours) 

DC–1 (Manual) .......................................................................................................... 1,235 25 515

obtain a copy of the information 

collection justification, forms, and/or 

supporting material, contact Dana 

Hickman at (312) 751–4981 or
