to costs under Medicare or in other 

countries? 

G. Regulatory Impact Analysis 

1. What benefits, costs, and other 

impacts do plans, issuers, or other 

stakeholders anticipate from the 

reporting requirements of PHS Act 

section 2799A–10, ERISA section 725, 

and Code section 9825? 

2. Are there benefits to academics or 

other researchers? How will consumers 

benefit? 

3. What data, research, or other 

information is available to help quantify 

the benefits, costs, and other impacts of 

the reporting requirements? Are there 

existing data, research, or reporting 

analogues that could be extrapolated 

from to predict market impacts? 

4. What actions could the 

Departments and OPM take to minimize 

the compliance costs of the reporting 

requirements? 

5. Operationally, which types of 

employees will be necessary to ensure 

compliance with the reporting 

requirements? Will staff specialized in 

medical billing coding be needed for the 

purpose of reporting? 

6. Will new or additional technology 

be needed for the collection, 

maintenance, or storage of the data to be 

reported? 

7. Will there be coordination costs or 

benefits from simultaneously complying 

with state regulations that require the 

reporting of medical services costs or 

prescription drug costs? 

8. Would greater alignment with other 

Federal reporting requirements reduce 

associated compliance costs, and if so, 

how? 

III. Collection of Information 

Requirements 

This document does not impose 

information collection requirements, 

that is, reporting, recordkeeping, or 

third-party disclosure requirements 

under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (PRA). However, Section II of this 

document does contain a general 

solicitation of comments in the form of 

a request for information. In accordance 

with the implementing regulations of 

the PRA, specifically 5 CFR 

1320.3(h)(4), this general solicitation is 

exempt from the PRA. Facts or opinions 

submitted in response to general 

solicitations of comments from the 

public, published in the Federal 

Register or other publications, 

regardless of the form or format thereof, 

provided that no person is required to 

supply specific information pertaining 

to the commenter, other than that 

necessary for self-identification, as a 

condition of the agency’s full 

consideration, are not generally 

considered information collections and 

therefore not subject to the PRA. 

Consequently, there is no need for 

review by the Office of Management and 

Budget under the authority of the PRA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

On February 4, 2020, the NRC 

published a document in the Federal 

Register (85 FR 6103) requesting input 

from its licensees and members of the 

public on any administrative 

requirements that may be modified or 

eliminated without an adverse effect on 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
32818 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 118 / Wednesday, June 23, 2021 / Proposed Rules 

public health or safety, common defense 

and security, protection of the 

environment, or regulatory efficiency 

and effectiveness. The public comment 

period was originally scheduled to close 

on April 6, 2020. On April 2, 2020, the 

NRC published a document in the 

Federal Register (85 FR 18477) 

extending the deadline to May 6, 2020. 

During the comment period, on March 

5, 2020 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML20069A022), and March 24, 2020 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML20085H593), 

the NRC held public meetings to discuss 

the NRC’s request for public input. In 

addition, the NRC requested input from 

agency staff through various methods of 

internal outreach. The NRC received 

comment submissions from the Nuclear 

Energy Institute, agency staff, and a 

member of the public, for a total of 100 

individual comments. The evaluation 

summary of these comments is available 

in ADAMS under Accession No. 

ML21012A439. 

II. Discussion 

For this Retrospective Review of 

Administrative Requirements (RROAR) 

initiative, the NRC developed criteria 

with which to evaluate potential 

regulatory changes. In addition to the 

following five criteria, the NRC 

considered programmatic experience, 

intent of the requirement, impact to the 

NRC’s mission, and overall impact to 

resources when determining whether to 

pursue a change to the regulations. 

1. Submittals resulting from routine 

and periodic recordkeeping and 

reporting requirements, such as 

directives to submit recurring reports 

that the NRC has not consulted or 

referenced in programmatic operations 

or policy development in the last 3 

years. 

2. Requirements for reports or records 

that contain information reasonably 

accessible to the agency from alternative 

resources that, as a result, may be 

candidates for elimination. 

3. Requirements for reports or records 

that could be modified to result in 

reduced burden without impacting 

programmatic needs, regulatory 

efficiency, or transparency, through: (a) 

Less frequent reporting, (b) shortened 

record retention periods, (c) requiring 

entities to maintain a record rather than 

submit a report, or (d) implementing 

another mechanism that reduces burden 

for collecting or retaining information. 

4. Recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements that result in significant 

burden. 

5. Reports or records that contain 

information used by other Federal 

agencies, State and local governments, 

or Federally recognized Tribes will be 

dropped from the review provided the 

information collected is necessary to 

support the NRC’s mission or to fulfill 

a binding NRC obligation. 

To be screened in for rulemaking 

consideration, comments had to meet at 

least one of Criteria 1 through 4 and not 

meet Criterion 5. 

Once screened in for rulemaking 

consideration, the staff organized the 

comments into three categories of 

action: (1) To be further evaluated in a 

new RROAR-related rulemaking (44 

comments), (2) to be incorporated in an 

annual administrative corrections 

rulemaking (5 comments), or (3) to be 

considered in an ongoing rulemaking 

activity outside the RROAR initiative (5 

comments). For comments that need 

further evaluation within the context of 

a new RROAR rulemaking effort, the 

NRC will consider the comments, in 

combination with its preliminary 

evaluation of the comments, in the 

rulemaking process. However, this is 

not a final determination and could 

change as NRC proceeds through 

rulemaking activities. 

The NRC’s evaluation identified 46 

comments that did not meet the criteria. 

The staff plans no further action on 44 

of these comments, and identified two 

comments to be reviewed for potential 

non-rulemaking solutions under the 

agency’s innovation and transformation 

efforts. 

III. Public Meeting 

The NRC will conduct a public 

meeting to discuss the comment 

evaluation process and answer 

stakeholder questions. 

The meeting will be held on June 30, 

2021, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. 

Eastern Standard Time. Interested 

members of the public can participate in 

this meeting via WebEx at: https://

a24d902b4e0e9b3, or by phone 

conference at (888) 390–2141, passcode 

8801623. 

This is an Information Public Meeting 

with a question and answer session. The 

purpose of this meeting is for the NRC 

staff to meet directly with individuals to 

discuss regulatory and technical issues. 

Attendees will have an opportunity to 

ask questions of the NRC staff or make 

comments about the issues discussed 

throughout the meeting; however, the 

NRC is not actively soliciting comments 

towards regulatory decisions at this 

meeting. For additional information or 

to request reasonable accommodations, 

please contact Andrew Carrera, phone:

Tip Regulations Under the Fair Labor 

Standards Act (FLSA); Partial 

Withdrawal 

AGENCY: Wage and Hour Division, 

Department of Labor. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: In this notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM), the Department of 

Labor (Department) proposes to 

withdraw and re-propose one portion of 

the Tip Regulations Under the Fair 

Labor Standards Act (FLSA) (2020 Tip 

final rule) related to the determination 

of when a tipped employee is employed 

in dual jobs under the Fair Labor 

Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA or the 

Act). Specifically, the Department is 

proposing to amend its regulations to 

clarify that an employer may only take 

a tip credit when its tipped employees 

perform work that is part of the 

employee’s tipped occupation. Work 

that is part of the tipped occupation 

includes work that produces tips as well 

as work that directly supports tipproducing work, provided the directly 

supporting work is not performed for a 

substantial amount of time. 

DATES: Submit written comments on or
