II. Discussion 

Current decommissioning guidance is 

focused on addressing diffuse residual 

radioactivity with respect to performing 

surveys and assessing potential public 

exposure after license termination and 

does not address discrete radioactive 

particle contamination nor discuss how 

to control this type of contamination 

during decommissioning. For these 

reasons, the NRC staff have approached 

each past instance of DRP 

contamination on a case-by-case basis 

which may have led to some perceived 

inconsistencies in the approach to 

decommissioning. This draft guidance 

presents an acceptable approach for 

addressing discrete radioactive particle 

contamination throughout the 

decommissioning process. Such nondiffuse contamination can be found at 

power reactors, as well as fuel cycle 

facilities during any phase of 

decommissioning. 

The staff is also issuing for public 

comment a draft regulatory analysis 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML24227A987). 

III. Backfitting, Forward Fitting, and 

Issue Finality 

Issuance of this ISG, if finalized, 

would not (i) constitute backfitting as 

defined in section 50.109 of title 10 of 

the Code of Federal Regulations (10 

CFR), ‘‘Backfitting,’’ 70.76, 

‘‘Backfitting,’’ and 72.62, ‘‘Backfitting,’’ 

and as described in Management 

Directive (MD) 8.4, ‘‘Management of 

Backfitting, Forward Fitting, Issue 

Finality, and Information Requests’’; or 

(ii) affect issue finality of any approval 

issued under 10 CFR part 52, ‘‘Licenses, 

Certifications, and Approvals for 

Nuclear Power Plants’’; or (iii) 

constitute forward fitting as that term is 

defined and described in MD 8.4, 

because licensees would not be required 

to comply with the positions set forth in 

this ISG, if finalized.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office 

of the PBGC Participant and Plan 

Sponsor Advocate (OPPSA) acts as a 

liaison between PBGC, sponsors of 

defined benefit pension plans insured 

by PBGC, and participants in pension 

plans trusteed by PBGC. OPPSA assists 

participants with searching for 

historical pension plan information as 

part of its pension plan tracing service. 

To conduct the tracing research, OPPSA 

uses an internal pension plan tracing 

research dashboard, which displays 

select data elements from various PBGC 

systems, including annual premium 

filing records and case information. The 

information found through OPPSA’s 

tracing research can help participants 

locate historical plan information. 

To perform the search, OPPSA will 

request participant contact information 

and specific plan information. This 

information includes the participant’s 

name, phone number, email address, 

and the inquirer’s name and 

relationship to participant if the 

inquirer it is not the participant; the 

employer’s name and location; the 

pension plan name; the employer 

identification number (EIN); the plan 

number (PN); the years that the 

participant worked for the employer; 

whether the person was an hourly, 

salaried, or part-time employee; and any 

addition information about the 

employer or pension plan that would 

aid in plan tracing, including listing any 

documents the participant has related to 

the pension plan. The collection of 

information is voluntary and minimally 

burdensome. It will enable OPPSA to 

more effectively run its pension plan 

tracing service and to assist participants 

in locating historical plan information. 

On July 22, 2024, PBGC published in 

the Federal Register (at 89 FR 59172) a 

notice informing the public of its intent 

to request approval of this collection of 

information. No comments were 

received. PBGC is requesting that OMB 

approve the collection of information 

for 3 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. 

PBGC estimates that it will receive 

intake information from approximately 

200 participants annually and that it 

will take participants 0.5 hours to 

complete and submit the information. 

The time needed to provide the 

information will vary among 

participants depending on what 

information they have readily available 

to them. The total amount of burden 

associated with this collection of 

information is estimated to be 100 hours 

and an estimated $0. 

Issued in Washington, DC. 

Hilary Duke, 

Assistant General Counsel for Regulatory 

Affairs, Pension Benefit Guaranty 

Corporation.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

[SEC File No. 270–029, OMB Control No. 

3235–0037] 

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request; Extension: Rule 17f–1(c) and 

Form X–17F–1A 

Upon Written Request, Copies Available 

From: Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 

100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 

20549–2736 

Notice is hereby given that pursuant 

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(‘‘PRA’’) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the 

Securities and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments 

on the existing collection of information 

provided for in Rule 17f–1(c) (17 CFR 

240.17f–1(c) and Form X–17F–1A (17 

CFR 249.100) under the Securities 

Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et 

seq.). The Commission plans to submit 

this existing collection of information to 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(‘‘OMB’’) for extension and approval. 

Rule 17f–1(c) requires approximately 

9,500 entities in the securities industry 

to report lost, stolen, missing, or 

counterfeit securities certificates to the 

Commission or its designee, to a 

registered transfer agent for the issue, 

and, when criminal activity is 

suspected, to the Federal Bureau of 

Investigation. Such entities are required 

to use Form X–17F–1A to make such 

reports. Filing these reports fulfills a 

statutory requirement that reporting 

institutions report and inquire about 

missing, lost, counterfeit, or stolen 

securities. Since these reports are 

compiled in a central database, the rule 

facilitates reporting institutions to 

access the database that stores 

information for the Lost and Stolen 

Securities Program (‘‘Program’’). 

We estimate that the total reporting 

burden for Regulation 17f–1(c), as 

adopted, for all respondents is 

approximately 2,937.5 hours. These 

burdens consist of a one-time burden in 

connection with Accenture Federal 

Services LLC (‘‘Accenture’’) becoming 

the new Program operator of 

approximately 2,000 hours for set-up, 

and annual burdens thereafter of 

approximately 25 hours for maintenance 

and 287.5 hours for reporting. [2,000 + 

3(25 + 287.5) = 2,937.5 hours] 

• The Commission estimates that 

approximately 50 reporting institutions 

will be subject to this one-time burden, 

which corresponds to 40 hours for each 

of the applicable reporting institutions. 

Further, the Commission estimates that 

updates in the applicable reporting 

institutions’ systems to maintain this 

connectivity will impose an aggregate 

ongoing annualized burden of 25 

burden hours, which corresponds to 30 

minutes for each of the applicable 

reporting institutions. Accordingly, this 

estimated burden to establish and 

maintain connectivity with Accenture 

over three years results in an aggregate 

burden of 691.67 hours per year or 13.83 

hours per applicable reporting 

institution per year. [(50 Respondents × 

1 Responses over 3 years) = 50 × (40 

hour) = 2,000 hours/3 years = 666.67 

hours per year; (50 Respondents × 1 

Responses) = 50 × (.5 hours) = 25 hours; 

666.67 hours + 25 hours = 691.67 hours; 

691.67 hours/50 Respondents = 13.83 

hours/Respondent]. 

• In addition, we estimate that 

approximately 115 reporting institutions 

will submit a report on average 30 times 

each year. The staff estimates that the 

average amount of time necessary for 

each reporting institution to comply 

with the Rule 17f–1(c) and Form X– 

17F–1A is five minutes. As a result, the 

total hourly burden for the periodic 

reporting burden under Rule 17f–1(c) is 

approximately 287.5 hours [(115 

Respondents × 30 Responses) × (5 

minutes/60 minutes/hour)]. 

Written comments are invited on: (a) 

whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Commission, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s 

estimates of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information; (c) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information 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. 

Consideration will be given to 

comments and suggestions submitted by 

November 25, 2024. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

under the PRA unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number.
