Petition for Director’s Decision Under

10 CFR 2.206

Notice is hereby given that by a

Petition dated November 17, 1995,

Fawn Shillinglaw requests that the

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)

prohibit the loading of VSC–24 casks at

any nuclear site until a particular cask

at the Palisades Plant, in which

indications have been detected in a

weld, is unloaded and the unloading

procedure evaluated.

As the basis for this request, the

Petitioner notes that the NRC has

determined that the unloading

procedures developed by licensees have

tended to be simplistic in that they fail

to account for certain contingencies and

assumptions and that these types of

deficiencies are discovered through

experience with the casks. She therefore

asks that no additional casks be loaded

until the defective cask at the Palisades

Plant is unloaded. She also states that

certain procedures concerning the casks

require detailed NRC review and asks

that they not be left to the licensees to

perform without NRC oversight.

The Petition is being treated pursuant

to Section 2.206 of Title 10 of the Code

of Federal Regulations. The Petition has

been referred to the Director of the

Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation

(NRR). As provided by Section 2.206,

appropriate action will be taken on this

Petition within a reasonable time.

A copy of the Petition is available for

inspection at the Commission’s Public

Document Room at 2120 L Street, NW.,

Washington, DC, and at the local public

document rooms for Palisades Plant:

used by the staff in evaluating specific

problems or postulated accidents, and

data needed by the staff in its review of

applications for permits and licenses.

Revision 1 of Regulatory Guide 1.152,

‘‘Criteria for Digital Computers in Safety

Systems of Nuclear Power Plants,’’

describes a method acceptable to the

NRC staff for complying with the

Commission’s regulations for promoting

high functional reliability and design

quality for the use of digital computers

in safety systems of nuclear power

plants. This guide endorses the Institute

of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

Standard Std 7–4.3.2–1993, ‘‘Standard

Criteria for Digital Computers in Safety

Systems of Nuclear Power Generating

Stations.’’

Comments and suggestions in

connection with items for inclusion in

guides currently being developed or

RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD

Proposed Data Collection Available for

Public Comment and

Recommendations

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 will publish 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: Evidence for Application of

Overall Minimum: OMB 3220–0083

Under Section 3 (f)(3) of the Railroad

Retirement Act (RRA), the total monthly

benefits payable to a railroad employee

and his family are guaranteed to be no

less than the amount which would be

payable if the employee’s railroad

service had been covered by the Social

Security Act. The Special Guaranty is

prescribed in 20 CFR 226.6. To

administer the Special Guaranty

Provision, the Railroad Retirement

Board (RRB) requires information about

a retired employee’s spouse and

child(ren) who would not be eligible for

benefits under the RRA but would be

eligible for benefits under the Social

Security Act if the employee’s railroad

service had been covered by that Act.

The RRB obtains the required

information by the use of forms G–319

(Statement Regarding Family and

Earnings for Special Guaranty

Computation) and G–320 (Student

Questionnaire for Special Guaranty

Computation). One form is completed

by each respondent. Reformatting and

editorial revisions are being proposed to

form G–319. A title change,

reformatting, editorial revisions and

minor changes in the use of form G–320

are being proposed.
