II. Background 

Under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently 

submitted a request for renewal of an 

existing collection of information to 

OMB for review entitled, ‘‘Exemptions 

and Continued Regulatory Authority in 

Agreement States and in Offshore 

Waters Under Section 274 of the Atomic 

Energy Act of 1954.’’ The NRC hereby 

informs potential respondents that an 

agency may not conduct or sponsor, and 

that a person is not required to respond 

to, a collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

The NRC published a Federal 

Register notice with a 60-day comment 

period on this information collection on 

February 4, 2022, 87 FR 6629. 

1. The title of the information 

collection: ‘‘Exemptions and Continued 

Regulatory Authority in Agreement 

States and in Offshore Waters Under 

Section 274 of the Atomic Energy Act of 

1954.’’ 

2. OMB approval number: 3150–0032. 

3. Type of submission: Extension. 

4. The form number, if applicable: 

Not applicable. 

5. How often the collection is required 

or requested: One-time or as needed. 

6. Who will be required or asked to 

respond: Agreement States who have 

signed section 274(b) Agreements with 

the NRC. 

7. The estimated number of annual 

responses: 8. 

8. The estimated number of annual 

respondents: 8. 

9. The estimated number of hours 

needed annually to comply with the 

information collection requirement or 

request: 190. 

10. Abstract: The Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) regulations in part 

150 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR), provide certain 

exemptions to persons in Agreement 

States from the licensing requirements 

contained in Chapters 6, 7, and 8 of the 

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, 

and certain regulations of the 

Commission. The regulations in 10 CFR 

part 150 also define the Commission’s 

continued regulatory authority over 

Agreement State activities which 

include byproduct, source, and special 

nuclear material reporting requirements 

related to reciprocity and enforcement. 

10 CFR part 150 requires telephonic 

notification to the NRC when an 

Agreement State licensee identifies 

attempted theft or diversion of special 

nuclear material, byproduct material, 

and tritium. This notification must be 

followed by a written report either 15 or 

60 days after the initial report, 

depending on the materials involved. If 

additional information is available after 

submission of the written report, an 

additional report is submitted. These 

reports are used to inform the 

Commission, staff, and other Federal 

agencies when special nuclear material, 

byproduct material, or tritium is lost or 

stolen. 

Dated: July 11, 2022. 

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

4062(e) of the Employee Retirement 

Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) 

imposes reporting obligations in the 

event of a ‘‘substantial cessation of 

operations.’’ A substantial cessation of 

operations occurs when a permanent 

cessation at a facility causes a 

separation from employment of more 

than 15 percent of all ‘‘eligible 

employees.’’ ‘‘Eligible employees’’ are 

employees eligible to participate in any 

of the facility’s employer’s employee 

pension benefit plans. Following a 

substantial cessation of operations, the 

facility’s employer is treated, with 

respect to its single-employer pension 

plans covered by title IV of ERISA that 

are covering participants at the facility, 

as if the employer were a withdrawing 

substantial employer under a multiple 

employer plan. Under section 4063(a) of 

ERISA, the Pension Benefit Guaranty 

Corporation (PBGC) must receive notice 

of the substantial cessation of operations 

and a request to determine the 

employer’s resulting liability. 

To fulfill such resulting liability, the 

employer may elect, under section 

4062(e)(4)(A), to make additional 

contributions annually for seven years 

to plans covering participants at the 

facility where the substantial cessation 

of operations took place. Under sections 

4062(e)(4)(E)(i)(I), (II), (III), (IV), and (V) 

respectively, an employer that is making 

the election for annual additional 

contributions must give notice to PBGC 

of: (1) its decision to make the election, 

(2) its payment of an annual 

contribution, (3) its failure to pay an 

annual contribution, (4) its receipt of a 

funding waiver from the Internal 

Revenue Service, and (5) the ending of 

its obligation to make additional annual 

contributions. 

PBGC is requesting that OMB extend 

approval of a form series, consisting of 

Form 4062(e)–01, Form 4062(e)–02, 

Form 4062(e)–03, and Form 4062(e)–04, 

that is used to fulfill these reporting 

obligations. An employer or a plan 

administrator files Form 4062(e)–01 to 

notify PBGC of the occurrence of a 

substantial cessation of operations and 

request a determination of the 

employer’s liability. An employer files 

Form 4062(e)–02 to notify PBGC that it 

made the elections to pay annual 

additional contributions to a plan. An 

employer files Form 4062(e)–03 to 

notify PBGC that it paid an annual 

additional contribution, received a 

funding waiver from the Internal 

Revenue Service, or is no longer 

obligated to pay additional annual 

contributions. Finally, an employer files 

Form 4062(e)–04 to notify PBGC that it 

failed to pay an additional annual 

contribution to the plan. 

PBGC needs the information 

requested in the forms and notification 

(1) to determine an employer’s liability 

to a plan following a substantial 

cessation of operations and (2) to ensure 

that an employer that made the election 

of additional annual contributions is 

fulfilling its payment obligations. 

PBGC is proposing a modification to 

the wording of question 3 in Form 

4062(e)–02 and adding an explanation 

to page 7 of the instructions. These 

modifications are intended for purposes 

of clarity, and they will not affect 

burden. 

The collection of information has 

been approved by OMB under control 

number 1212–0073 (expires August 31, 

2022). On May 9, 2022, PBGC published 

in the Federal Register (at 87 FR 27666) 

a notice informing the public of its 

intent to request an extension of this 

collection of information. No comments 

were received. PBGC is requesting that 

OMB extend its approval for another 3 

years. An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. 

PBGC estimates that, over the next 3 

years, 5 forms in this series will be 

submitted each year. PBGC estimates
