DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary

Submission for OMB Review;

Comment Request

ACTION: Notice.

The Department of Defense has

submitted to OMB for clearance, the

following proposal for collection of

information under the provisions of the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

Chapter 35).

Title and OMB Number: Survey of

Local Registrars and Election Officials

(NVRA), Post-Election Survey of Local
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 139 /Tuesday, July 21, 1998 / Notices 39079

Election Officials and Post-Election

Survey of Overseas Citizens (UOCAVA);

OMB Number 0704–0125.

Type of Request: Reinstatement.

Number of Respondents: 2,851.

Responses per Respondents: 1.

Annual Response: 2,851.

Average Burden per Response: 10

minutes.

Annual Burden Hours: 475.

Needs and Uses: The federal

responsibilities of 42 U.S.C. 1973ff,

‘‘The Uniformed and Overseas Citizens

Absentee Voting Act of 1986,’’

(UOCAVA), and 42 U.S.C. 1973gg. ‘‘The

National Voter Registration Act of

1993,’’ (NVRA), is administerted on

behalf of the Secretary of Defense by the

Federal Voting Assistance Program.

UOCAVA requires a report to be

submitted to the President and to

Congress on the effectiveness of

assistance under the Act, a statistical

analysis of voter participation, and a

description of State-Federal

cooperation. The NVRA requires a

biennial report to the Congress assessing

the impact of the Act on the

administration of elections for federal

office, and recommendations for

improvements in federal and state

procedures, forms, and other matters

affected by the Act. UOCAVA requires

the states to allow uniformed services

personnel, their family members, and

overseas citizens to use absentee

registration procedures and to vote by

absentee ballot in general, special,

primary, and runoff elections for federal

office. The Act covers members of the

Uniformed Services and the Merchant

Marine to include the commissioned

corps of the National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration and Public

Health Service, and their eligible

dependents, federal civilian employees

overseas, and overseas U.S. citizens not

affiliated with the federal government.

The post-election survey is conducted

on a statistically random basis to

determine participation rates which are

representative of all citizens covered by

the Act, measure state-federal

cooperation, and is designed to evaluate

the effectiveness of the overall absentee

voting program. The information

collected is used for overall program

evaluation, management and

improvement, and to compile the

congressionally mandated reports to the

President and Congress. The NVRA

designates Armed Forces Recruitment

Offices as voter registration agencies to

assist voters in applying for registration

in elections for federal offices. The

NVRA requires a biennial report to the

Congress assessing the impact of the Act

on the administration of elections for

federal office, determine improvements

needed in federal and state procedures,

and other effects of the Act.

The NVRA survey is necessary to

assess the impact of Armed Forces

Recruiting Office implementation of

voter registration under NVRA and for

program evaluation and assessment

purposes.

Affected Public: Individuals or

households; State, Local, or Tribal

Governments.

Frequency: Biennially.

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.

OMB Desk Officer: Mr. Edward C.

Springer.

Written comments and

recommendations on the proposed

information collection should be sent to

Mr. Springer at the Office of

Management and Budget, Desk Officer

for DoD, Room 10236, New Executive

Office Building, Washington, DC 20503.

DOD Clearance Officer: Mr. Robert

Cushing.

Written requests for copies of the

information collection proposal should

be sent to Mr. Cushing, WHS/DIOR,

DEFENSE NUCLEAR FACILITIES

SAFETY BOARD

Sunshine Act Meeting

Pursuant to the provision of the

‘‘Government in the Sunshine Act’’ (5

U.S.C. § 552b), notice is hereby given of

the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety

Board’s (Board) meeting described

below.

TIME AND DATE OF MEETING: 3:00 p.m. on

August 4, 1998.

PLACE: Federal Building Auditorium,

825 Jadwin Avenue, Richland

Washington 99352.

STATUS: Open.

MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED: Board

members will review with the

Department of Energy (DOE) and its

contractors the status of implementation

of the Board’s Recommendation 92–4.

Recommendation 92–4 called for a

systematic approach to addressing

health and safety requirements during

the design, construction, and operation

of the Hanford Tank Waste Remediation

system (TWRS).

CONTACT PERSON FOR MORE INFORMATION:

Robert M. Andersen, General Counsel,

Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board,

625 Indiana Avenue, NE, Suite 700,

Washington, D.C. 20004, (800) 788–

4016. This is a toll-free number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: One of the

major waste stabilization initiatives of

the Department of Energy (DOE) has

been the Hanford Site’s TWRS. The

TWRS will retrieve, process, and

immobilize the more than 50 million

gallons of high level radioactive waste

currently stored in 177 underground

storage tanks at the Hanford Site. In

1992, the Board noted deficiencies in

the technical justification and planning

for the Hanford TWRS Multi-function

Waste Tank Facility (MWTF). As a

result, in Recommendation 92–4, the

board recommended to the Secretary of

Energy that DOE adopt a systems

engineering approach that ensures that

health and safety requirements of the

project are addressed in each phase of

the project life cycle. The Secretary’s

Implementation Plan committed to

adopting a systems engineering

approach for the MWTF project and the

entire TSRS. Additionally, DOE

committed to taking systems approach

for its site integration efforts.

Following the adoption of the

privatization concept for a portion of the

TWRS, DOE revised its Implementation

Plan in October 1997. The DOE

Implementation Plan committed to

meeting the following objectives (1)

institutionalizing systems engineering

for the TWRS, (2) incorporating the

privatization effort into the overall

systems approach, and (3) coordinating

the development of needed technology

for the system. DOE’s implementation is

nearing completion.

A public meeting will be conducted

by the Board to hear from staff members

from DOE and its contractors

responsible for the TWRS. These

individuals will brief the Board on the

status of activities under the Secretary’s

Implementation Plan for

Recommendation 92–4.

A transcript of this proceeding will be

made available by the Board for

inspection by the public at the Board’s

Washington, D.C. office and at the

DOE’s Public Reading Room, 2770

University Drive, CIC, Room 101L. P.O.

Box 999, mail stop H2–53, Richland,

Washington 99352. Recommendation

92–4 in its entirety is also on file at

DOe’s Public Reading Room in Richland

and at the Board’s Washington, D.C.

office.

The Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety

board reserves its right to further

schedule and otherwise regulate the

course of this meeting, to recess,

reconvene, postpone or adjourn the

meeting, and otherwise exercise its
