2.3.07.07b.ii (403), and 3.3.00.02a.ii.f 

(769). 

The ITAAC for VEGP Unit 3 are in 

Appendix C of the VEGP Unit 3 

combined license (ADAMS Accession 

No. ML14100A106). The ITAAC for 

VEGP Unit 4 are in Appendix C of VEGP 

Unit 4 combined license (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML14100A135). 

II. Licensee ITAAC Post-Closure 

Notifications (IPCNs) 

Since the last Federal Register notice 

of the NRC staff’s determinations of 

successful completion of inspections, 

tests, and analyses for VEGP Units 3 and 

4 (86 FR 23756; May 4, 2021), the NRC 

staff has not made additional 

determinations of the successful 

completion of inspections, tests, and 

analyses based on licensee IPCNs 

submitted under 10 CFR 52.99(c)(2). 

III. NRC Staff Determination of 

Completion of ITAAC 

The NRC staff has determined that the 

specified inspections, tests, and 

analyses have been successfully 

completed, and that the specified 

acceptance criteria are met. The 

documentation of the NRC staff’s 

determination is in the ITAAC Closure 

Verification Evaluation Form (VEF) for 

each ITAAC. The VEF is a form that 

represents the NRC staff’s structured 

process for reviewing ICNs and IPCNs. 

Each ICN presents a narrative 

description of how the ITAAC was 

completed. The NRC’s ICN review 

process involves a determination on 

whether, among other things: (1) Each 

ICN provides sufficient information, 

including a summary of the 

methodology used to perform the 

ITAAC, to demonstrate that the 

inspections, tests, and analyses have 

been successfully completed; (2) each 

ICN provides sufficient information to 

demonstrate that the acceptance criteria 

of the ITAAC are met; and (3) any NRC 

inspections for the ITAAC have been 

completed and any ITAAC findings 

associated with that ITAAC have been 

closed. The NRC’s review process for 

IPCNs is similar to that for ICNs but 

focuses on how the licensee addressed 

the new, material information giving 

rise to the IPCN. 

The NRC staff’s determination of the 

successful completion of these ITAAC is 

based on information available at this 

time and is subject to the licensee’s 

ability to maintain the condition that 

the acceptance criteria are met. If the 

NRC staff receives new information that 

suggests the NRC staff’s determination 

on any of these ITAAC is incorrect, then 

the NRC staff will determine whether to 

reopen that ITAAC (including 

withdrawing the NRC staff’s 

determination on that ITAAC). The NRC 

staff’s determination will be used to 

support a subsequent finding, pursuant 

to 10 CFR 52.103(g), at the end of 

construction that all acceptance criteria 

in the combined license are met. The 

ITAAC closure process is not finalized 

for these ITAAC until the NRC makes an 

affirmative finding under 10 CFR 

52.103(g). Any future updates to the 

status of these ITAAC can be found by 

selecting the link ‘‘ITAAC Status 

Report’’ on the NRC’s websites: https:// 

www.nrc.gov/reactors/new-reactors/colholder/vog3.html and https://

www.nrc.gov/reactors/new-reactors/colholder/vog4.html. 

This notice fulfills the NRC staff’s 

obligations under 10 CFR 52.99(e)(1) to 

publish a notice in the Federal Register 

of the NRC staff’s determination of the 

successful completion of inspections, 

tests, and analyses. 

Note: As of August 12, 2021, NRC staff 

rescinds its previous determination of the 

successful completion of ITAAC 2.5.05.03b 

(570) for both VEGP Units 3 and 4 due to the 

subsequent determination by NRC staff that 

this ITAAC is not met for both units. The 

NRC’s prior determination of the successful 

completion of ITAAC 2.5.05.03b (570) was 

originally published in the Federal Register 

(85 FR 67017) on October 21, 2020. The 

licensee will resubmit the ICNs related to 

ITAAC 2.5.05.03b (570) for both Units.

OFFICE OF PERSONNEL 

MANAGEMENT 

Federal Employees’ Group Life 

Insurance Program; Premium 

AGENCY: Office of Personnel 

Management. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel 

Management (OPM) is announcing 

changes in premium rates for certain 

Federal Employees’ Group Life 

Insurance (FEGLI) categories. These 

include changes to premium rates for 

Employee Basic Insurance, Option A 

(most age bands), Option B (most age 

bands), Option C (most age bands), and 

Post-Retirement Basic Insurance. These 

rates will be effective the first pay 

period beginning on or after October 1, 

2021. 

DATES: These rates will be effective the 

first pay period beginning on or after 

October 1, 2021. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Marthine Mason-Martin, FEGLI@

opm.gov, (202) 606–1413. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces changes to FEGLI 

Employee Basic, Option A (most age 

bands), Option B (most age bands), 

Option C (most age bands), and PostRetirement Basic Insurance. 

FEGLI premium rates are assessed 

based on Program experience in 

accordance with FEGLI statutes at 

8711(b), 8714a(e), 8714b(e), and 

8714c(e), and OPM’s Annual FEGLI Rate 

Review Process. The premium rates in 

the FEGLI program represent estimates 

of premium income necessary to pay 

future expected benefits costs. The rates 

for all coverage categories are specific to 

the experience of the FEGLI group and 

are not based on mortality rates within 

the general population. Actuarial 

analysis of changing mortality rates 

makes periodic premium adjustments 

necessary. 

OPM has completed a study of 

funding and claims experience within 

the FEGLI Program. Based on this 

updated actuarial analysis of actual 

claims experience, OPM has determined 

that changes are required to Employee 

Basic, Option A, Option B, Option C 

and Post-Retirement Basic Insurance 

premiums. These changes reflect 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 171 / Wednesday, September 8, 2021 / Notices 50383 

updated mortality and claims rates from 

actual program experience within each 

FEGLI category. The legislative structure 

of the FEGLI Program assumes that we 

set premium rates for each age band 

independently of the other bands so that 

each age band is financially selfsupporting. 

We will issue guidance to all agencies 

for the purpose of counseling employees 

and we will notify affected annuitants 

directly via OPM’s Office of Retirement 

Services. The FEGLI premium rates will 

be maintained on the FEGLI website 

https://www.opm.gov/healthcareinsurance/life-insurance/. 

The new FEGLI premium rates for 

Basic, Option A, Option B, Option C 

and the Post-Retirement Basic Option 

are as follows:

[Docket No. PI2021–3; Order No. 5975] 

Public Inquiry on Service Performance 

Measurement Systems 

AGENCY: Postal Regulatory Commission. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Commission is 

recognizing a recently filed Postal 

Service request proposing modifications 

to its market dominant service 

performance measurement systems. 

This document informs the public of 

this proceeding and the technical 

conference, invites public comment, 

and takes other administrative steps. 

DATES: Comments are due: September 

17, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: Submit comments 

electronically via the Commission’s 

Filing Online system at http://

www.prc.gov. Those who cannot submit

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

David A. Trissell, General Counsel, at 

202–789–6820. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 

31, 2021, the Postal Service filed a 

notice, pursuant to 39 CFR 3055.5, 

proposing modifications to its market 

dominant service performance 

measurement systems.1 The systems 

that are the subject of this proceeding 

were approved for implementation on 

July 5, 2018, in Docket No. PI2015–1.2

The most recent version of the Postal 

Service’s Service Performance 

Measurement (SPM) Plan was filed in 

May 2019.3 Accompanying the Notice is 

a library reference, which contains a 

copy of the United States Postal Service, 

Service Performance Measurement plan, 

revised August 31, 2021 (both redline 

and clean versions).4

The Postal Service’s proposed 

modifications add reporting for 3-day, 4- 

day, and 5-day service standards for 

First-Class Mail, in place of the current 

3–5-day service standard. Notice at 1. 

The Postal Service asserts that the 

purpose of this change is to align service 

performance reporting with upcoming 

service standard changes which are to 

take effect on October 1, 2021. Id. The 

Postal Service also proposes replacing 

certain references to external SPM with 

internal SPM, consistent with Order No. 

5576.5

Interested persons are invited to 

comment on the Postal Service’s 

proposed modifications concerning the 

service performance measurement 

systems. However, commenters are 

reminded that the scope of this docket 

is limited to the Postal Service’s 

proposed revisions to the SPM Plan, not 

the propriety of the underlying service 

standard changes, which the 

Commission addressed in Docket No. 

N2021–1.6 Comments are due 

September 17, 2021. The Commission 

does not anticipate the need for reply 

comments at this time. The Commission 

intends to evaluate the comments 

received and use those suggestions to 

help carry out its service performance 

measurement responsibilities under the 

Postal Accountability and Enhancement 

Act. Material filed in this docket will be 

available for review on the 

Commission’s website, http://

www.prc.gov. 

It is ordered: 

1. Docket No. PI2021–3 is established 

for the purpose of considering the Postal 

Service’s proposed modifications to its 

market dominant service performance 

measurement systems. 

2. Interested persons may submit 

written comments on any or all aspects 

of the Postal Service’s proposals no later 

than September 17, 2021. 

3. Christopher Mohr is designated to 

represent the interests of the general 

public in this docket. 

4. The Secretary shall arrange for 

publication of this Notice in the Federal 

Register. 

By the Commission.
