SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
On April 16, 2012, the petitioner
requested that the NRC take action with
regard to Indian Point Nuclear
Generating Unit No. 2. The petitioner
requests that the NRC order the licensee
of Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit
No. 2 to remove the passive
autocatalytic recombiners (PARs)
because the PAR system could have
unintended ignitions in the event of a
severe accident, which, in turn, could
cause a hydrogen detonation. As the
basis for this request, the petitioner
references experimental data where
PARs malfunction in environments
containing high concentrations of
combustible gases by having ignitions.
The petitioner asserts that the PARs
could be overwhelmed by the
production of hydrogen following a
severe reactor accident and a resulting
ignition could lead to a detonation that
challenges the structural integrity of the
containment structure.
The request is being treated pursuant
to Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR) 2.206, ‘‘Requests
for Action Under this Subpart,’’ of the
Commission’s regulations. The request
has been referred to the Director of the
Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
(NRR). As provided by 10 CFR 2.206,
appropriate action will be taken on this
petition within a reasonable time. The
petitioner met with the NRR petition
review board on June 14 (transcript at
ADAMS Accession No. ML12300A412)
and September 12, 2012 (transcript at
ADAMS Accession No. ML12300A428),
to discuss the petition. The results of
that discussion were considered in the
board’s determination regarding the
petitioner’s request for action and in
establishing the schedule for the review

of the petition. A copy of the petition is
available for inspection under ADAMS
Accession No. ML12108A052.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 16th day
of November 2012.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Regulation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The SF 87
is a fingerprint card, which is utilized
to conduct a national criminal history
check, which is a component of the
background investigation. The SF 87 is
completed by applicants who are under
consideration for Federal or Federal
contract employment, or continued such
employment, and by persons seeking
long-term access to Federal facilities
and systems. The SF 87 fingerprint chart
is used in background investigations to
establish that such persons are eligible
for logical and physical access to
Government facilities and systems;
suitable or fit to perform work for, on
behalf of, the Federal Government;
suitable for employment or retention in
a public trust position, suitable for
employment or retention in a national
security position, and/or eligible for
access to classified national security
information. The SF 87 form is only
utilized when a hardcopy fingerprint
chart must be obtained, as opposed to
the electronic collection of fingerprints.
Modifications to the SF 87 include the
addition of three blocks, Submitting
Office Number (SON), Security Office
Identifier (SOI) and Intra-Government
Payment and Collection Code (IPAC)
and the removal of the printed ORI
number, USOPMOOOZ–FIPC Boyer,
PA. The addition of the SON, SOI and
IPAC blocks support billing and
processing enhancements. The printed
ORI number is no longer necessary
because SF 87 forms are converted to
images and transmitted to the FBI
electronically.
Because OPM is eliminating the
printed ORI number, a separate
collection that does not have an ORI
number, the SF 87A is redundant.
Accordingly, OPM is eliminating the SF
87A form.
Due to the SF 87 form’s small size and
the fact that it may be maintained in
multiple systems of records, it does not
list all potentially applicable routine

uses under the Privacy Act. Accordingly
5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(3)(C) requires that an
agency issuing the SF 87 form must also
give the subject a copy of the routine
uses for the applicable system of
records.
It is estimated that 210,533 SF 87
forms are provided to individuals
annually. The SF 87 takes
approximately 5 minutes to complete.
The estimated annual burden is 17,544
hours.
The 2009 OMB Terms of Clearance
required an accurate reflection of the
number of people who incur a cost for
submitting their fingerprints to federal
agencies and the total cost per annum.
Calculations derived from Federal
agency survey data and OPM data
estimated that, at a maximum, 52,633
forms are submitted to federal agencies
annually by individuals, who may incur
a financial burden to obtain fingerprints
at local police departments, when
security offices are unable to conduct
the fingerprinting. The estimated
individual financial burden is $17.00.
The estimated maximum annual
financial burden is $894,765.

I. Introduction
II. Notice of Filing
III. Ordering Paragraphs

I. Introduction
Background. On November 15, 2012,
the Postal Service filed a notice,
pursuant to 39 CFR 3010.40 et seq.,
announcing a Type 2 rate adjustment in
conjunction with a new negotiated
service agreement.1 The Notice concerns
the inbound portion of a Multi-Product
Bilateral Agreement with China Post
Group (Agreement), which the Postal
Service seeks to include within the
existing Inbound Market Dominant
Multi-Service Agreements with Foreign
Postal Operators 1 product. Notice at 1.
Contract history and scope. The
Agreement is a successor to the existing
China Post 2011 Agreement, which was
included within Inbound Market
Dominant Multi-Service Agreement
with Foreign Postal Operators 1 by
operation of Order No. 871. Id. at 2.
Rates under the Agreement are intended
to take effect January 1, 2013 following
expiration, on December 31, 2012, of
rates now in effect under the China Post
2011 Agreement. Id. at 3. The
Agreement pertains only to inbound
market dominant rates; rates paid by the
Postal Service to China Post Group for
outbound delivery of Postal Service
products in China are not in included.
Id. at 6.
Applicable rules. Subpart D of 39 CFR
3010 addresses rate adjustments for
negotiated service agreements (Type 2
adjustments). The rules in this subpart
specify, among other things, the scope
and nature of the data, information, and
explanations the Postal Service is to
provide in a notice of Type 2 rate
adjustment; the action the Commission
is to take upon receipt of such Notice;
and the nature of Commission review.
See 39 CFR 3010.42 through 3010.44.
II. Notice of Filing
Compliance with filing requirements.
The Postal Service’s filing consists of
the Notice, two attachments, and a
public Excel file. Attachment 1 to the
Notice is an application for non-public
treatment of material filed under seal
with the Commission (Application).2
This material consists of the unredacted
text of the Agreement and unredacted
supporting financial documentation. Id.
at 2. Attachment 2 is a redacted copy of
the China Post 2013 Agreement. Id. The
1 Notice of United States Postal Service of Type
2 Rate Adjustment, and Notice of Filing
Functionally Equivalent Agreement, November 15,
2012 (Notice).
2 The Application was filed pursuant to 39 CFR
3007.21. See Notice at 12.

public Excel file is a redacted version of
the supporting financial documentation.
Id.
The Postal Service identifies January
1, 2013 as the effective date; asserts that
the requisite 45 days’ advance notice is
being provided; and identifies a Postal
Service official as a contact for further
information. Id. at 3. It identifies the
parties to the Agreement as the United
States Postal Service and China Post
Group, the postal operator for China. Id.
at 4. It states that the Agreement
includes delivery confirmation scanning
for Letter Post small packets, a service
also included in the China Post 2010
and China Post 2011 Agreements. Id.
The Postal Service states that
information about expected financial
improvements, costs, volumes, and
revenues in financial workpapers has
been filed with the Commission under
seal. Id. It identifies two components of
the Agreement that are expected to
enhance operational performance:
continuation of delivery confirmation
service for Letter Post small packets and
use of business rules for international
mail settlement. Id. at 4–5.
The Postal Service presents several
reasons why the instant Agreement will
not result in unreasonable harm to the
marketplace, including China Post
Group’s status as the only entity in a
position to avail itself of an agreement
of this type and the role of the Postal
Service and China Post Group as their
countries’ designated operators for
exchange of mail. Id. at 5–6.
Rule 3010.43—data collection plan.
Rule 3010.43 requires the Postal Service
to submit a detailed data collection
plan. In lieu of a special data collection
for the Agreement, the Postal Service
states that it intends to provide
information via the Annual Compliance
Report and, pursuant to this alternative,
to provide any necessary information
about mail flows from China in the
course of the annual review process. Id.
at 7. The Postal Service further asks that
the Commission except the Agreement
from the separate performance reporting
requirement under 39 CFR 3055.3(a)(3).
Id. It notes that the Commission has
granted such exceptions for similar
agreements.3
Consistency with applicable statutory
criteria. The Postal Service observes that
Commission review of a negotiated
service agreement addresses three
statutory criteria: whether the agreement
(1) improves the Postal Service’s net
financial position or enhances the
3 The Postal Service cites exceptions granted for
the China Post 2010 Agreement, the TNT
Agreement, the Hongkong Post 2011 Agreement,
and the China Post 2011 Agreement. Id.
