experience in seismic analysis. The 

candidates must also have at least 20 

years of education and experience and 

a distinguished record of achievement 

in one or more areas of nuclear science 

and technology or related engineering 

disciplines. Candidates with pertinent 

graduate level experience will be given 

additional consideration. 

Consistent with the requirements of 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 

the Commission seeks candidates with 

diverse backgrounds, so that the 

membership on the Committee is fairly 

balanced in terms of the points of view 

represented and functions to be 

performed by the Committee. 

Candidates will undergo a thorough 

security background check to obtain the 

security clearance that is mandatory for 

all ACRS members. The security 

background check will involve the 

completion and submission of 

paperwork to the NRC. 

Candidates for ACRS appointment 

may be involved in or have financial 

interests related to NRC-regulated 

aspects of the nuclear industry. 

However, because conflict-of-interest 

considerations may restrict the 

participation of a candidate in ACRS 

activities, the degree and nature of any 

such restriction on an individual’s 

activities as a member will be 

considered in the selection process. 

Each qualified candidate’s financial 

interests must be reconciled with 

applicable Federal and NRC rules and 

regulations prior to final appointment. 

This might require divestiture of 

securities or discontinuance of certain 

contracts or grants. Information 

regarding these restrictions will be 

provided upon request. As a part of the 

Stop Trading on Congressional 

Knowledge Act of 2012, which bans 

insider trading by members of Congress, 

their staff, and other high-level federal 

employees, candidates for appointments 

will be required to disclose additional 

financial transactions. 

A resume describing the educational 

and professional background of each 

candidate, including any special 

accomplishments, publications, and 

professional references should be 

provided. Candidates should provide 

their current address, telephone 

number, and email address. All 

candidates will receive careful 

consideration. Appointment will be 

made without regard to factors such as 

race, color, religion, national origin, sex, 

age, or disabilities. Candidates must be 

citizens of the United States and be able 

to devote approximately 100 days per 

year to Committee business, but may not 

be compensated for more than 130 

calendar days. As a part of ACRS’ 

transformative practice, appointees may 

be able to virtually devote some of the 

130 days to Committee business. 

Resumes will be accepted until 

December 7, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Licensee Notification of Completion 

of ITAAC 

Southern Nuclear Operating 

Company, Inc. (SNC) (hereafter called 

the licensee) has submitted ITAAC 

closure notifications (ICNs) under 

section 52.99(c)(1) of title 10 of the Code 

of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), 

informing the NRC that the licensee has 

successfully performed the required 

inspections, tests, and analyses, and that 

the acceptance criteria are met for:

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
