NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

Experts’ Meeting on Burnup Credit in

Spent Fuel Shipping Casks

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory

Commission.

ACTION: Notice of meeting.

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory

Commission will hold a meeting to

develop a Phenomena Identification and

Ranking Table (PIRT) for allowing

burnup credit in spent fuel shipping

casks. PIRTs have been used at NRC

since 1988, and they provide a

structured way to obtain a technical

understanding that is needed to address

certain issues. About fifteen of the

world’s best technical experts are

participating in this activity, and the

experts represent a balance between

industry, universities, foreign

researchers, and regulatory

organizations. The PIRT activity is

addressing technical issues related to

burnup credit in the criticality safety

analyses of PWR spent fuel in transport

casks.

DATE: May 16–18, 2000, 8:30 am–5:30

RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD

Proposed Collection; Comment

Request

SUMMARY: In accordance with the

requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

which provides opportunity for public

comment on new or revised data

collections, the Railroad Retirement

Board (RRB) publishes periodic

summaries of proposed data collections.

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether

the proposed information collection is

necessary for the proper performance of

the functions of the agency, including

whether the information has practical

utility; (b) the accuracy of the RRB’s

estimate of the burden of the collection

of the information; (c) ways to enhance

the quality, utility, and clarity of the

information to be collected; and (d)

ways to minimize the burden related to

the collection of information on

respondents, including the use of

automated collection techniques or

other forms of information technology.

Title and purpose of information

collection: Statement of Claimed

Railroad Service and Earnings; OMB

3220–0025. To qualify for

unemployment of sickness benefits

payable under section 2 of the Railroad

Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA), a

railroad employee must have certain

qualifying earnings in the applicable

base year. In addition, to qualify for

extended or accelerated benefits under

Section 2 of the RUIA, a railroad

employee who has exhausted his or her

rights to normal benefits must have at

least 10 years of railroad service (under

certain conditions, military service may

be credited as months of railroad

service). Accelerated benefits are

unemployment or sickness benefits that

are payable to a railroad employee

before the regular July 1 beginning date

of a benefit year if an employee has 10

or more years of service and is not

qualified for benefits in the current

benefit year.

During the RUIA claims review

process, the RRB may determine that

unemployment or sickness benefits

cannot be awarded because RRB records

show insufficient qualifying service

and/or compensation. When this occurs,

the RRB allows the claimant the

opportunity to provide additional

information if they believe that the RRB

service and compensation records are

incorrect.

Depending on the circumstances, the

RRB provides the following form(s) to

obtain information needed to determine

if a claimant has sufficient service or
