AGENCY: Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: On September 3, 2014, the 

Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board 

submitted Recommendation 2014–1, 

concerning Emergency Preparedness 

and Response, to the Department of 

Energy. In accordance with section 

315(c) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, 

as amended, 42 U.S.C. 2286d(c), the 

following represents the Secretary of 

Energy’s response to the 

Recommendation. 

DATES: Comments, data, views, or 

arguments concerning the Secretary’s 

response are due on or before December 

31, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Please send comments to: 

Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Daniel Sigg, Office of the Departmental 

Representative to the Defense Nuclear 

Facilities Safety Board, Office of 

Environment, Health, Safety and 

Security, U.S. Department of Energy,

Issued in Washington, DC on November 7,

Joe Olencz, 

Departmental Representative, to the Defense 

Nuclear Facilities Safety Board, Office of 

Environment, Health, Safety and Security. 

November 7, 2014 

The Honorable Peter S. Winokur 

Chairman 

Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board 

625 Indiana Avenue NW, Suite 700 

Washington, DC 20004 

Dear Mr. Chairman: 

The Department of Energy (DOE) 

acknowledges receipt of Defense 

Nuclear Facilities Safety Board (Board) 

Recommendation 2014–01, Emergency 

Preparedness and Response, issued on 

September 3, 2014, and published in the 

Federal Register on September 23, 2014. 

The Department shares the Board’s 

view that actions are needed to improve 

emergency preparedness and response 

capabilities at its defense nuclear 

facilities. As stated in my August 5, 

2014, letter to you, the Department’s 

emergency preparedness and response 

infrastructure, capabilities, and 

resources are of great importance to me 

and DOE’s senior leadership. 

Recommendation 2014–01 will 

complement the actions that the 

Department has already initiated to 

improve emergency management. I also 

stated that it is the Department’s 

responsibility to determine the requisite 

timeline to accomplish the actions in 

our Implementation Plan to address 

Board recommendations. 

I understand the Board’s enabling 

statute requires the Department to 

complete implementation of its plan 

within one year. I am placing a high 

priority on addressing the 

Recommendation; however, due to the 

complexity and broad reach of the 

Department’s actions, we probably will 

not be able to complete our corrective 

actions within one year, in which case 

we will make the necessary notifications 

prescribed by law. 

Therefore, with the exception of the 

‘‘end of 2016’’ timeline, DOE accepts the 

remainder of sub-Recommendation 1 

and all of sub-Recommendation 2. 

I share your intent to improve 

emergency management in the 

Department. In developing an 

Implementation Plan to address each 

specific action of this Recommendation, 

the Department will expeditiously 

proceed with improvements, 

accomplishing the highest priorities 

within a one-year period. We will 

prioritize efforts and will maintain a 

dialogue with your staff as we move 

forward to address your concerns. 

We appreciate the Board’s perspective 

and look forward to continued positive

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 230 / Monday, December 1, 2014 / Notices 71099 

interactions with you and your staff on 

preparing DOE’s Implementation Plan. I 

have assigned Ms. Deborah Wilber, the 

Acting Associate Administrator, Office 

of Emergency Operations, to be the 

Department’s responsible manager for 

this Recommendation. 

If you have any questions, please 

contact me or Ms. Wilber at (202) 586– 

9892. 

Sincerely, 

Ernest J. Moniz

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

[OMB 3060–0222] 

Information Collection Being Reviewed 

by the Federal Communications 

Commission Under Delegated 

Authority 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort 

to reduce paperwork burdens, and as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501– 

3520), the Federal Communications 

Commission (FCC or Commission) 

invites the general public and other 

Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on the 

following information collections. 

Comments are requested concerning: 

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; 

the accuracy of the Commission’s 

burden estimate; ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; ways to minimize 

the burden of the collection of 

information on the respondents, 

including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology; and ways to 

further reduce the information 

collection burden on small business 

concerns with fewer than 25 employees. 

The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a 

collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. No person shall be subject to 

any penalty for failing to comply with 

a collection of information subject to the 

PRA that does not display a valid OMB 

control number. 

DATES: Written PRA comments should 

be submitted on or before January 30, 

2015. If you anticipate that you will be 

submitting comments, but find it 

difficult to do so within the period of 

time allowed by this notice, you should 

advise the contact listed below as soon 

as possible. 

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to 

Cathy Williams, FCC, via email PRA@

fcc.gov and to Cathy.Williams@fcc.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

additional information about the 

information collection, contact Cathy 

Williams at (202) 418–2918. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control No.: 3060–0222. 

Title: Section 97.213, Telecommand 

of an Amateur Station. 

Form No.: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other for 

profit entities. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 40,000 respondents and 

40,000 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 5 

minutes (.084 hours). 

Frequency of Response: Third party 

disclosure requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. The statutory 

authority for this collection is approved 

under 47 U.S.C. 303, 151–155, 301–609. 

Total Annual Burden: 3,360 hours. 

Annual Cost Burden: No cost. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes. 

Respondents may request materials or 

information submitted to the 

Commission be withheld from public 

inspection under 47 CFR 0.459 of the 

FCC rules. 

The respondents’ telephone numbers 

are collected in the Commission’s 

Universal Licensing System (ULS) 

database and are covered under the 

System of Records Notice (SORN), FCC/ 

WTB–1, ‘‘Wireless Services Licensing 

Records.’’ 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality with 

this collection of information except for 

respondents’ telephone numbers which 

are not made available to the public and 

are covered under FCC/WTB–1, 

‘‘Wireless Services Licensing Records.’’ 

Needs and Uses: The third party 

disclosure requirement contained in 47 

CFR 97.213 consists of posting a 

photocopy of the amateur station 

license, a label with the name, address, 

and telephone number of the station 

licensee, and the name of at least one 

authorized control operator in a 

conspicuous place at the station 

location. This requirement is necessary 

so that quick resolution of any harmful 

interference problems can be identified 

and to ensure that the station is 

operating in accordance with the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended. 

This information is used by FCC 

personnel during inspections and 

investigations to determine who is 

responsible for the proper operation of 

the remotely controlled station. In the 

absence of this third party disclosure 

requirement, field inspections and 

investigations related to harmful 

interference could be severely hampered 

and needlessly prolonged due to 

inability to determine the responsible 

licensee.
