any issue finality provisions under 10
CFR part 52. This is because neither the
Backfit Rule nor the issue finality
provisions under 10 CFR part 52—with
certain exclusions discussed below—
were intended to apply to every NRC
action which substantially changes the
expectations of current and future
applicants.
The exceptions to the general
principle are applicable whenever an
applicant references a 10 CFR part 52
license (e.g., an early site permit) and/
or NRC regulatory approval (e.g., a
design certification rule) with specified
issue finality provisions. The staff does
not, at this time, intend to impose the
positions represented in the SRP in a
manner that is inconsistent with any
issue finality provisions. If, in the
future, the staff seeks to impose a
position in the SRP in a manner which
does not provide issue finality as
described in the applicable issue finality
provision, then the staff must address
the criteria for avoiding issue finality as
described in the applicable issue finality
provision.
Congressional Review Act
In accordance with the Congressional
Review Act, the NRC has determined
that this action is not a major rule and
has verified this determination with the
Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs of the Office of Management and
Budget.

Act of 1995, (Pub. L. 104–13, 44 U.S.C.
chapter 35) as amended by the ClingerCohen Act (Pub. L. 104–106), OPM is
soliciting comments for this collection.
The information collection was
previously published in the Federal
Register on June 20, 2013 at Volume 78
FR 37245 allowing for a 60-day public
comment period. We did not receive
any comments. The purpose of this
notice is to allow an additional 30 days
for public comments. The Office of
Management and Budget is particularly
interested in comments that:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of OPM, including whether
the information will have practical
utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the OPM’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
DATES: Comments are encouraged and
will be accepted until October 30, 2013.
This process is conducted in accordance
with 5 CFR 1320.1.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are

records for an automated examining
system. The 1203 series was commonly
referred to as the ‘‘Qualifications and
Availability Form C.’’ OPM has re-titled
the series as ‘‘Occupational
Questionnaire’’ to fit a more generic
need. OPM uses this form to carry out
its responsibility for open competitive
examining for admission to the
competitive service in accordance with
section 3304, of title 5, United States
Code. One change has been made to the
form under Section 14, Veterans’
Preference. The addition of Sole
Survivorship Preference was added to
reflect the amended eligibility categories
for veterans’ preference per Public Law
110–317, the Hubbard Act.
Subparagraph (H) established the new
category for veterans released or
discharged from a period of active duty
from the armed forces, after August 29,
2008, by reason of a ‘‘sole survivorship
discharge.’’

of information, Questionnaire for NonSensitive Positions, SF 85, which is
housed in a system named e-QIP
(Electronic Questionnaires for
Investigative Processing) and is an
information collection completed by
applicants for, or incumbents of, Federal
Government civilian or military
positions, or positions in private entities
performing work for the Federal
Government under contract. The
collection is used as the basis of
information:
• By the Federal Government in
conducting background investigations of
persons under consideration for nonsensitive, low-risk positions as defined
in Executive Order 10450 and 5 CFR
part 731;
• by agencies in determining whether
a person performing work for or on
behalf of the Federal Government under
a contract should be deemed eligible for
logical or physical access or fit to
perform the work anticipated, if the
contract provides for such an
adjudication.
The SF 85 is completed by civilian
employees of the Federal Government,
military personnel, and non-federal
employees, including Federal
contractors and individuals otherwise
not directly employed by the Federal
Government but who perform work for
or on behalf of the Federal Government.
It is estimated that 55,040 non-Federal
individuals will complete the SF 85
annually for investigations conducted
by OPM. The SF 85 takes approximately
30 minutes to complete. The estimated
annual burden for this form when used
in OPM investigations is 27,520 hours.
This ICR also requests categorizing
the form as a common form. OPM will
continue to estimate the burden based
on all Federal agencies that submit the
SF 85 to OPM for investigation. Once
OMB approves the use of this common
form, all Federal agencies using the
form not in connection with an OPM
investigation may request use of this
common form without additional 60- or
30-day notice and comment
requirements. At that point, each agency
will account for its number of
respondents and the burden associated
with the agency’s use.
The 60-day notice of the proposed
information collection was published in
the Federal Register on July 18, 2013
(Federal Register Notices/Volume 78,
Number 138, page 42982–42983) as
required by 5 CFR 1320, affording the
public an opportunity to comment on
the form. A commenter from OPM
recommend changing information
collected in Section 7, Citizenship, to
mirror the collection found on the SF
86. This recommendation was not

accepted at this time. OPM will need
additional time to explore the feasibility
of addressing this recommendation in a
timely manner and comply with
investigative coverage requirements.
