**DOE Response to Recommendation 2014–1 of the Defense Nuclear**  **Facilities Safety Board, Emergency Preparedness and Response** 

**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, 625 Indiana Avenue NW., Suite 700, Washington, DC 20004.

**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, 1000 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20585, 202–586–1857. Issued in Washington, DC on November 7,

2014. 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

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

**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.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary, Office of the Secretary. Office of the Managing Director.
