or Type A test, measures overall

containment leakage. However,

operating experience with all types of

containments used in this country

demonstrates that essentially all

containment leakage can be detected by

local leakage rate tests (Types B and C).

According to results given in NUREG–

1493, out of 180 ILRT reports covering

110 individual reactors and

approximately 770 years of operating

history, only 5 ILRT failures were found

which local leakage rate testing could

not detect. This is 3% of all failures.

This study agrees well with previous

NRC staff studies which show that

Types B and C testing can detect a very

large percentage of containment leaks.

The Millstone Unit 3 experience has

also been consistent with these results.

The Nuclear Management and

Resources Council (NUMARC), now the

Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI), collected

and provided the NRC staff with

summaries of data to assist in the

Appendix J rulemaking effort. NUMARC

collected results of 144 ILRTs from 33

units; 23 ILRTs exceeded 1.0La. Of

these, only nine were not due to Type

B or C leakage penalties. The NEI data

also added another perspective. The NEI

data show that in about one-third of the

cases exceeding allowable leakage, the

as-found leakage was less than 2La; in

one case the leakage was found to be

approximately 2La; in one case the asfound leakage was less than 3La; one

case approached 10La; and in one case

the leakage was found to be

approximately 21La. For about half of

the failed ILRTs the as-found leakage

was not quantified. These data show

that, for those ILRTs for which the

leakage was quantified, the leakage

values are small in comparison to the

leakage value at which the risk to the

public starts to increase over the value

of risk corresponding to La

(approximately 200La, as discussed in

NUREG–1493).

The licensee also addressed the

possible increase in risk due to

extending this test interval. The licensee

concluded that any increase in risk

would be negligible. This is consistent

with independent staff studies

documented in NUREG–1493.

Therefore, based on these

considerations, it is unlikely that an

extension of one cycle for the

performance of the Appendix J, Type A

test at Millstone Unit 3 would result in

significant degradation of the overall

containment integrity. Likewise,

performance of the third test in a

refueling outage other than when the

plant is shut down for the 10-year plant

inservice inspections has no connection

to the detection of overall containment

degradation. As a result, the application

of the regulation in these particular

circumstances is not necessary to

achieve the underlying purpose of the

rule.

The preoperational Type A test

required by Appendix J was performed

in July 1985. Millstone Unit 3 started

commercial operation on April 23, 1986.

The staff considers this date to also be

the start of the licensee’s first 10-year

Type A test period. The extension of the

Type A test interval for Millstone Unit

3 discussed in this document is

referenced to this starting date. Based on

generic and plant specific data, the NRC

staff finds the basis for the licensee’s

proposed exemptions to be acceptable.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.32, the

Commission has determined that

granting this Exemption will have no

significant impact on the quality of the

human environment (60 FR 22415).

This Exemption is effective upon

issuance and shall expire at the

completion of the 1997 refueling outage.

to 5 U.S.C. 552b(c) (2) and (6) to discuss

organizational and personnel matters

that relate solely to internal personnel

the Conclusion of Business

The Subcommittee will discuss

proposed ACRS activities and related

PENSION BENEFIT GUARANTY

CORPORATION

Request for Approval of a Modification

in an Approved Collection of

Information; PBGC Form 10–SP,

Optional Reportable Event Form for

Small Plans

AGENCY: Pension Benefit Guaranty

Corporation.

ACTION: Notice of Request for OMB

approval.

SUMMARY: The Pension Benefit Guaranty

Corporation has requested that the

Office of Management and Budget

approve, under the Paperwork

Reduction Act, a modification in its

currently approved collection of

information for the reporting

requirements under section 4043 of the

Employee Retirement Income Security

Act of 1974 (OMB control number

1212–0013; expires February 28, 1996).

This modification would simplify

compliance for small plans by providing

the plan administrator and contributing
25934 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 93 / Monday, May 15, 1995 / Notices

sponsor of a single-employer plan with

fewer than 500 participants with the

option of using PBGC Form 10–SP when

notifying the PBGC that a reportable

event has occurred. The effect of this

notice is to advise the public of the

PBGC’s request for OMB approval of

and to solicit public comment on the

modification.

ADDRESSES: All written comments (at

least three copies) should be addressed

to Office of Management and Budget,

Paperwork Reduction Project (1212–

0013), Washington, DC 20503. The

PBGC’s request for approval will be

available for inspection at the PBGC’s

Communications and Public Affairs

Department, Suite 240, 1200 K Street,

NW., Washington, DC 20005–4026,

between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday

through Friday.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Harold J. Ashner, Assistant General

Counsel, Office of the General Counsel,

Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation,

1200 K Street, NW., Washington, DC

20005–4026, 202–326–4024 (202–326–

4179 for TTY and TDD).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation

administers the pension plan

termination insurance program under

Title IV of the Employee Retirement

Income Security Act of 1974, as

amended (29 U.S.C. 1301 et seq.). Part

2615, Subpart A, of the PBGC’s

regulations (29 CFR part 2615, subpart

A) implements the requirements of

ERISA section 4043 (29 U.S.C. 1343). In

particular, the regulations prescribe

rules for the notice that, except where

expressly waived, must be provided to

the PBGC no later than 30 days after a

single-employer plan administrator

knows or has reason to know a

reportable has occurred. These reporting

requirements currently are approved by

the Office of Management and Budget

(‘‘OMB’’) (control number 1212–0013;

expires February 28, 1996).

The PBGC has now developed an

information collection instrument—

PBGC Form 10–SP, Optional Reportable

Event Form for Small Plans—that it

believes will facilitate and simplify

compliance with regulatory

requirements. In particular, Form 10–SP

(including its instructions) will help

contributing sponsors and plan

administrators of small plans (fewer

than 500 participants) understand what

events must be reported. In addition, it

will provide a simple reporting

mechanism. The form takes into account

certain recent amendments to section

4043 made by the Retirement Protection

Act of 1994 (Title VII, Subtitle F of Pub.

L. 103–465).

To provide plan administrators and

contributing sponsors of such plans

with the option of using Form 10–SP

when notifying the PBGC that a

reportable event has occurred, the PBGC

has asked OMB to approve this

information collection instrument as a

modification in its currently approved

collection of information. The PBGC

believes that Form 10–SP would

increase the likelihood that it will

receive initial critical information

within the prescribed time period, and

it anticipates that in most cases the plan

administrators and contributing

sponsors of small plans would not

provide any further information to the

PBGC. However, the PBGC is not at this

time predicting a reduction in the total

burden hours under its reportable

events regulation (40 hours per year,

based on 80 filings at 1⁄2 hour per filing).

The PBGC is in the process of

determining whether and to what extent

to revise its burden hour estimate to

reflect the new RPA reportable events,

and plans to note any decrease resulting

from Form 10 when it requests OMB

paperwork approval for its proposed

amendments to its reportable events

regulation to implement RPA.

May, 1995.
