Abstract: Under Title 28, United 

States Code (U.S.C.), section (§ ) 534, 

subsections (a) and (c); the Uniform 

Federal Crime Reporting Act of 1988, 34 

U.S.C. 41303; the Hate Crime Statistics 

Act, 34 U.S.C. 41305, modified by the 

Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr., 

Hate Crimes Prevention Act (2009), 

Public Law (Pub. L.) § 4708; the AntiArson Act of 1982, 18 U.S.C. 841 note; 

the William Wilberforce Trafficking 

Victims Protection Reauthorization Act 

of 2008, 34 U.S.C. 41309; the USA 

Patriot Improvement and 

Reauthorization Act of 2005, Public Law 

109–177, 307, subsection (e) Reporting 

of Cargo Theft, 120 Statutes at Large 

193, 240 (2006); and 34 U.S.C. 12532, 

this collection requests incident data 

from federal, state, local, and tribal 

LEAs in order for the FBI Uniform 

Crime Reporting (UCR) Program to serve 

as the national clearinghouse for the 

collection and dissemination of incident 

data and to release these statistics in the 

following publications: Crime in the 

United States, Hate Crime Statistics, 

Law Enforcement Officers Killed and 

Assaulted, and National Incident-Based 

Reporting System. NIBRS is a data 

collection which allows LEAs to collect 

information on each crime occurrence. 

The FBI designed NIBRS to generate 

data as a byproduct of federal, state, and 

local automated records management 

systems (RMS). NIBRS collects data on 

each incident and arrest within 28 crime 

categories comprised of 71 specific 

crimes called Group A offenses. For 

each of the offenses coming to the 

attention of law enforcement, various 

details about the crime are collected. In 

addition to the Group A offenses, arrest 

data only are reported for 13 Group B 

offense categories. When reporting data 

via the traditional Summary Reporting 

System (SRS), LEAs tally the 

occurrences of 10 Part I crimes. 

The most significant difference 

between NIBRS and the traditional SRS 

is the degree of detail in reporting. 

NIBRS is capable of producing more 

detailed, accurate, and meaningful 

information because data are collected 

about when and where crime takes 

place, what form it takes, and the 

characteristics of its victims and 

perpetrators. Although most of the 

general concepts for collecting, scoring, 

and reporting the UCR data in the SRS 

apply in NIBRS (e.g., jurisdictional 

rules), there are some important 

differences between the two data 

collection systems. The SRS employs 

the Hierarchy Rule, i.e., in a multipleoffense incident, only the most serious 

offense is reported, and only 10 Part I 

offenses can be reported. The many 

advantages NIBRS has over the SRS 

include, but are not limited to, reports 

up to 10 offenses occurring during the 

incident; revised, expanded, and new 

offense definitions; more specificity in 

reporting and using offense and arrest 

data for 28 Group A offense categories 

encompassing 71 crimes; distinguishes 

between attempted and completed 

Group A crimes; provides crimes against 

society; includes victim-to-offender 

data, circumstance, drug-related 

offenses, offenders suspected use of 

drugs, and expanded computer crime; 

and provides updated reports tied 

directly to the original incident. The 

Group A offense categories include 

animal cruelty; arson; assault offenses; 

bribery; burglary/breaking and entering; 

commerce violations; * counterfeiting/ 

forgery; destruction/damage/vandalism 

of property; drug/narcotic offenses; 

embezzlement; espionage; * extortion/ 

blackmail; fraud offenses; fugitive 

offenses; * gambling offenses; homicide 

offenses; human trafficking; 

immigration violations; * kidnapping/ 

abduction; larceny/theft offenses; motor 

vehicle theft; pornography/obscene 

material; prostitution offenses; robbery; 

sex offenses; stolen property offenses; 

treason; * and weapon law violations. 

The 13 Group B offense categories, for 

which only arrest data are collected, 

include bad checks; bond default; * 

curfew/loitering/vagrancy violations; 

disorderly conduct; driving under the 

influence; drunkenness; family offenses, 

nonviolent; federal resource violation; * 

liquor law violations; peeping tom; 

perjury; * trespass of real property; and 

all other offenses. (Offense categories 

followed by an asterisk (*) denote those 

reported by federal and tribal LEAs 

only.) In 2019, NIBRS began collecting 

additional data values to capture 

information on domestic violence, cargo 

theft, and negligent manslaughter. 

5. An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond: The number of LEAs 

submitting data to the FBI UCR Program 

via NIBRS as of September 7, 2021 is 

10,284. The FBI designed NIBRS to 

generate data as a byproduct of federal, 

state, and local automated RMS. Many 

LEAs have RMS capable of producing a 

myriad of statistics to meet their 

particular needs. LEAs forward only the 

data required by NIBRS to participate in 

the FBI UCR Program. Each month, it 

takes approximately two hours for an 

average respondent to respond, which is 

an annual burden of 24 hours. Two 

hours is the time required for a law 

enforcement agency’s RMS to download 

NIBRS data and send the information to 

the state UCR program (if applicable). 

The state UCR program then forwards 

the data to the FBI. 

6. An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: The estimated annual public 

burden associated with the NIBRS data 

collection is 237,000 hours (9,875 LEAs 

× 24 hours annually = 237,000 total 

annual hours).

BILLING CODE 4410–02–P 

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Corrected Notice of Lodging of 

Proposed Consent Decree Under the 

Oil Pollution and Clean Water Acts 

On December 22, 2021, the United 

States’ Department of Justice lodged a 

proposed Consent Decree with the U.S. 

District Court for the Eastern District of 

Louisiana in United States v. Taylor 

Energy Company LLC, Civil Case No. 

20–2910 (E.D. La.). A previously 

published version of this notice 

incorrectly stated that the Consent 

Decree was lodged on December 20, 

2021. 

The Complaint in this civil action, 

filed on October 23, 2020, seeks removal 

costs, civil penalties, and natural 

resource damages (NRD) under Section 

1002 and 1004 of the Oil Pollution Act 

(OPA), 33 U.S.C. 2702 and 2704, and 

Section 311 of the Clean Water Act, 33 

U.S.C. 1321. These claims arise from the

discharge of oil from Taylor Energy 

Company LLC’s (Taylor Energy’s) 

former oil production facility on the 

Outer Continental Shelf in the Gulf of 

Mexico, which began when the facility 

was damaged during a hurricane in 

September 2004. 

Under the proposed Consent Decree, 

Taylor Energy will pay approximately 

$43.5 million—all of the company’s 

available remaining assets—allocated as 

$15 million to a civil penalty, $16.5 

million to NRD, and over $12 million to 

the U.S. Coast Guard removal costs, to 

resolve the civil claims arising from the 

oil discharge. The State of Louisiana is 

a co-trustee for natural resources injured 

by the spill, and the NRD money is a 

joint recovery to be used for natural 

resource restoration projects selected by 

the federal and State trustees. Taylor 

Energy will also transfer to the U.S. 

Department of the Interior (DOI)’s 

Bureau of Ocean and Energy 

Management (BOEM) over $432 million 

currently held in a trust for plugging the 

seafloor oil wells and otherwise 

decommissioning the facility, and the 

company will be barred from interfering 

in any way with the Bureau of Safety 

and Environmental Enforcement’s 

(BSEE’s) decommissioning work. 

Likewise, Taylor Energy commits not to 

interfere with the Coast Guard’s oil 

containment and removal actions and 

agrees to turn over to DOI and the Coast 

Guard documents (including data, 

studies, reports, etc.) relating to the site 

to assist in the decommissioning and 

response efforts. Upon liquidation, 

Taylor Energy will transfer the value of 

its remaining assets to the U.S. as its 

final payment. 

In addition, the proposed Consent 

Decree requires the company to dismiss 

with prejudice its numerous lawsuits 

against the U.S., including challenges to 

the Coast Guard’s decision to install a 

spill containment system and an appeal 

of the Coast Guard’s denial of Taylor 

Energy’s $353 million spill-cost 

reimbursement claim submitted to the 

U.S. Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund. 

The United States Department of 

Justice filed the proposed Consent 

Decree on behalf of the Coast Guard, 

DOI, and the federal and State trustees 

for natural resources. The designated 

federal trustees for the natural resources 

impacted by Taylor Energy’s oil spill are 

the U.S. Department of Commerce 

through the National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) 

and DOI through the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service. The designated State 

trustees are the Louisiana Oil Spill 

Coordinator’s Office, Department of 

Public Safety & Corrections; Louisiana 

Department of Natural Resources; 

Louisiana Department of Environmental 

Quality; Louisiana Department of 

Wildlife and Fisheries; and the 

Louisiana Coastal Protection and 

Restoration Authority.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[NRC–2021–0221] 

Applications and Amendments to 

Facility Operating Licenses and 

Combined Licenses Involving 

Proposed No Significant Hazards 

Considerations and Containing 

Sensitive Unclassified Non-Safeguards 

Information and Order Imposing 

Procedures for Access to Sensitive 

Unclassified Non-Safeguards 

Information 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: License amendment request; 

notice of opportunity to comment, 

request a hearing, and petition for leave 

to intervene; order imposing 

procedures. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) received and is 

considering approval of three 

amendment requests. The amendment 

requests are for Three Mile Island, Unit 

2, Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, 

Units 1 and 2, and Prairie Island 

Nuclear Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2. 

For each amendment request, the NRC 

proposes to determine that the request 

involves no significant hazards 

consideration (NSHC). Because each 

amendment request contains sensitive 

unclassified non-safeguards information 

(SUNSI), an order imposes procedures 

to obtain access to SUNSI for contention 

preparation by persons who file a 

hearing request or petition for leave to 

intervene. 

DATES: Comments must be filed by 

February 3, 2022. A request for a 

hearing or petitions for leave to 

intervene must be filed by March 7, 

2022. Any potential party as defined in 

section 2.4 of title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR) who 

believes access to SUNSI is necessary to 

respond to this notice must request 

document access by January 14, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

by any of the following methods 

however, the NRC encourages electronic 

comment submission through the 

Federal rulemaking website: 

• Federal rulemaking website: Go to 

https://www.regulations.gov and search 

for Docket ID NRC–2021–0221. Address 

questions about Docket IDs in
