originally licensed. Although existing doors
protect important equipment from being
submerged and damaged, neither regulatory
requirements nor enforceable commitments
exist that ensure the continued reliability of
those doors. The petitioners seek to rectify
this safety shortcoming by revising the
current licensing basis to include flooding
caused by heavy rainfall events.
The NRC staff’s assessment dated July 5,
2019, concluded that no further regulatory
actions are necessary; therefore, the staff will
not revise Pilgrim’s current licensing basis to
include flooding caused by heavy rainfall
events. Had the plant not permanently ceased
operations, the staff would have reviewed the
March 12, 2012, 10 CFR 50.54(f) reevaluated
flood hazard information in accordance with
the Commission direction provided in the
SRM dated January 24, 2019, and determined
whether further regulatory action was
warranted.
Concern 2: Being outside the licensing
basis means there are no applicable
regulatory requirements. As a direct result,
there can be no associated compliance
commitments. Being within the current
licensing basis invokes a wide array of
associated regulatory requirements. For
example, 10 CFR part 50, ‘‘Domestic
Licensing of Production and Utilization
Facilities,’’ Appendix B, ‘‘Quality Assurance
Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel
Reprocessing Plants,’’ requires that licensees
find and fix problems with SSCs having
safety functions credited within the current
licensing basis.
The staff concluded in its July 5, 2019,
letter that no further response or actions
associated with the March 12, 2012, 10 CFR
50.54(f) letter are necessary, and therefore,
SSCs relied on to address the reevaluated
flood hazard are not required to be safetyrelated 24 and do not need to meet the quality
assurance requirements in 10 CFR part 50,
Appendix B. Had the plant not permanently
ceased operations, the staff would have
reviewed the March 12, 2012, 10 CFR 50.54(f)
reevaluated flood hazard information in
accordance with the Commission direction
provided in the SRM dated January 24, 2019,
and determined whether further regulatory
action was warranted.
III. Conclusion
The NRC evaluated the petitioners’
concerns and determined that the petitioners’
request is addressed through the staff’s
conclusion as stated in the July 5, 2019, letter
and that no further response or actions
associated with the March 12, 2012, 10 CFR
50.54(f) letter are necessary for Pilgrim
because there is no longer an entity
authorized to load fuel into the vessel, and
potential fuel-related accident scenarios are
limited to the spent fuel pool. Unlike fuel in
the reactor, the safety of fuel located in the
spent fuel pool is assured for an extended
period through maintenance of pool
structural integrity, which preserves coolant
inventory and maintains margin to prevent
criticality. The staff concludes that the small
changes in the flooding hazard elevation
projected for the two reevaluated flood24 10

structural integrity of the spent fuel pool.
As provided in 10 CFR 2.206(c), a copy of
this director’s decision will be filed with the
Secretary of the Commission for the
Commission to review. The decision will
constitute the final action of the Commission
25 days after the date of the decision unless
the Commission, on its own motion,
institutes a review of the decision within that
time.

Upon Written Request, Copies Available
From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services,

Extension:
Rule 17Ab2–2

Notice is hereby given that pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(‘‘PRA’’) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) a request for approval of
extension of the previously approved
collection of information provided for in
Rule 17Ab2–2 (17 CFR 240.17Ab2–2)
under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
Exchange Act Rule 17Ab2–2
establishes procedures for the
Commission to make a determination,
either of its own initiative or upon
application by any clearing agency or
member of a clearing agency, whether a
covered clearing agency is systemically
important in multiple jurisdictions and
procedures to determine, if the
Commission deems appropriate,
whether any of the activities of a
clearing agency providing central
counterparty services, in addition to
clearing agencies registered with the
Commission for the purpose of clearing

security-based swaps, have a more
complex risk profile. In addition,
Exchange Act Rule 17Ab2–2 provides a
procedure for the Commission to
determine whether to rescind any such
determinations previously made by the
Commission.
Because determinations made by the
Commission pursuant to Exchange Act
Rule 17Ab2–2 may be made upon the
request of a clearing agency, respondent
clearing agencies have the burden of
preparing such requests for submission
to the Commission.
Commission staff estimates that Rule
17Ab2–2 imposes a PRA burden on
registered clearing agencies that seek a
determination from the Commission
regarding the covered clearing agency’s
status as systemically important in
multiple jurisdictions. Commission staff
estimates that two registered clearing
agencies or their members on their
behalf will apply for a Commission
determination, or may be subject to a
Commission-initiated determination,
regarding whether a registered clearing
agency is involved in activities with a
more complex risk profile or whether a
covered clearing agency is systemically
important in multiple jurisdictions.
Commission staff estimates that each
respondent clearing agency incurs a
one-time burden of 10 hours and a onetime cost of $2,000 to draft and review
a determination request submitted to the
Commission, for a total of 20 hours and
$4,000 for all respondents. The total
annualized burden and cost for all
respondents are 6.66 hours and
$1,333.33.
Any agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
under the PRA unless it displays a valid
OMB control number.
The public may view background
documentation for this information
collection at the following website:
www.reginfo.gov. Comments should be
directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the
Securities and Exchange Commission,

Affairs, Office of Management and

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD
[Docket No. FD 36349]

The Indiana Rail Road Company—
Amended Trackage Rights
Exemption—CSX Transportation, Inc.
The Indiana Rail Road Company
(INRD), a Class II rail carrier, has filed
a verified notice of exemption under 49
CFR 1180.2(d)(7) for its acquisition of
amended, limited overhead trackage
rights over a line of railroad of CSX
Transportation, Inc. (CSXT), between
the connection with INRD at
approximately CSXT milepost OZA
204.5 at Sullivan, Ind., and the
connection with trackage serving the
Oaktown Mine at approximately CSXT
milepost OZA 219.05 at Oaktown, Ind.,
including the connection with trackage
serving the Sunrise Mine at
approximately CSXT milepost OZA
214.5 at Carlisle, Ind., a total distance of
approximately 14.55 miles (the Line).
INRD states that, pursuant to a May
15, 2008 trackage rights agreement and
two subsequent supplements to that
agreement, dated August 1, 2009, and
November 20, 2009, INRD holds
trackage rights over the Line for the
purpose of handling unit coal trains
from mines at Carlisle and Oaktown to
specified destinations on INRD or other
railroads with which INRD
interchanges.1 Subsequently, pursuant
to a series of temporary trackage rights
exemptions, CSXT and INRD agreed to
temporarily expand the existing
Sullivan-Oaktown trackage rights to
allow INRD to handle unit coal trains to
an additional off-line destination.2
Pursuant to the written Supplemental
Agreement No. 7 dated July 19, 2019,
INRD and CSXT have updated their

CSX Transp., Inc., FD 35328 (STB served Dec. 31,
2009); Ind. Rail Rd.—Trackage Rights Exemption—

2009); Ind. Rail Rd.—Amended Trackage Rights
Exemption—CSX Transp., Inc., FD 35137 (STB
served May 22, 2008).
2 The temporary trackage rights to that additional
off-line destination, the Kentucky Utilities E.W.
Brown generating station in Harrodsburg, Ky.
(Kentucky Utilities), are scheduled to expire on
December 31, 2019. See Ind. Rail Rd.—Trackage
Rights Exemption—CSX Transp., Inc., FD 36068
(STB served Oct. 14, 2016); Ind. Rail Rd.—
Temporary Trackage Rights Exemption—CSX

Feb. 8, 2019).

arrangement.3 The parties have agreed
to amend the existing trackage rights to,
among other things, make permanent
the previously temporary trackage rights
(to Kentucky Utilities), clarify other
allowable destinations, and delete
destinations that have ceased receiving
coal.4 Specifically, according to the
verified notice, the purpose of these
rights is to permit INRD to handle
loaded and empty unit coal trains
between the Oaktown Mine or the
Sunrise/Carlisle Mine and the following
destinations: The Indianapolis Power &
Light generating station at Petersburg,
Ind.; the Hoosier Energy generating
station at Merom, Ind.; Vectren and
Alcoa generating stations at Warrick,
Ind.; and Kentucky Utilities.5 INRD
states that this proposed trackage rights
exemption is intended to subsume and
replace INRD’s prior trackage rights
exemptions granted in Docket Nos. FD
35137, 35287, and 35328.
The transaction may be consummated
on or after December 18, 2019, the
effective date of the exemption (30 days
after the verified notice was filed).
As a condition to this exemption, any
employees affected by the acquisition of
the trackage rights will be protected by
the conditions imposed in Norfolk &
Western Railway—Trackage Rights—
Burlington Northern, Inc., 354 I.C.C. 605
(1978), as modified in Mendocino Coast
Railway—Lease & Operate—California
Western Railroad, 360 I.C.C. 653 (1980).
If the notice contains false or
misleading information, the exemption
is void ab initio. Petitions to revoke the
exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d)
may be filed at any time. The filing of
a petition to revoke will not
automatically stay the effectiveness of
the exemption. Petitions for stay must
be filed no later than December 11, 2019
(at least seven days before the
exemption becomes effective).
All pleadings, referring to Docket No.
FD 36349, must be filed with the
Surface Transportation Board, either via
e-filing or in writing addressed to 395 E
Street SW, Washington, DC 20423–0001.
In addition, a copy of each pleading
must be served on INRD’s
representative, Thomas J. Litwiler,
3 A redacted copy of the agreement is attached to
the verified notice. An unredacted copy has been
filed under seal along with a motion for protective
order pursuant to 49 CFR 1104.14. That motion is
addressed in a separate decision.
4 To the extent INRD seeks to discontinue its
trackage rights to any previously authorized
destination, it must separately seek appropriate
relief under 49 U.S.C. 10903 or explain why such
authority is unnecessary.
5 The parties also have agreed to modify
contractual provisions regarding compensation and
contemplated volumes of traffic.
