SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DOL,
as part of continuing efforts to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies an opportunity to
comment on proposed and/or
continuing collections of information
before submitting them to the OMB for
final approval. This program helps to
ensure requested data can be provided
in the desired format, reporting burden
(time and financial resources) is
minimized, collection instruments are
clearly understood, and the impact of
collection requirements can be properly
assessed.
Background: The Office of Workers’
Compensation Programs (OWCP) is the
agency responsible for administration of
the Longshore and Harbor Workers’
Compensation Act (LHWCA) and the
Federal Employees’ Compensation Act
(FECA). 33 U.S.C. 939 (LHWCA) and 5
U.S.C. 8104 (FECA) authorize OWCP to
pay for approved vocational
rehabilitation services to eligible
workers with work-related disabilities. 5
U.S.C. 8111(b) of the FECA and 33
U.S.C. 908(g) of the LHWCA provide
that persons undergoing such vocational
rehabilitation receive maintenance
allowances as additional compensation.
Form OWCP–44 is used to collect
information necessary to decide if
maintenance allowances should
continue to be paid. Form OWCP–44 is
submitted to OWCP by contractors hired
to provide vocational rehabilitation
services. Form OWCP–44 gives prompt
notification of key events that may
require OWCP action in the vocational
rehabilitation process. This information
collection is currently approved for use
through February 28, 2021.
For LHWCA, 20 CFR 702.506 and 20
CFR 702. 507, and for FECA, 20 CFR
10.518 and 20 CFR 10.519, authorizes
this information collection. This
information collection is subject to the
PRA. A Federal agency generally cannot
conduct or sponsor a collection of
information, and the public is generally
not required to respond to an
information collection, unless the OMB
under the PRA approves it and displays
a currently valid OMB Control Number.
In addition, notwithstanding any other
provisions of law, no person shall
generally be subject to penalty for
failing to comply with a collection of
information that does not display a
valid Control Number. See 5 CFR
1320.5(a) and 1320.6.

Interested parties are encouraged to
provide comments to the contact shown
in the ADDRESSES section. Written
comments will receive consideration,
and summarized and included in the
request for OMB approval of the final
ICR. In order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
mention OMB# 1240–0008.
Submitted comments will also be a
matter of public record for this ICR and
posted on the internet, without
redaction. The DOL encourages
commenters not to include personally
identifiable information, confidential
business data, or other sensitive
statements/information in any
comments.
The DOL is particularly interested in
comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility.
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used.
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• 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 submission of
responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
During the period from October 6,
2020, to October 26, 2020, the NRC
granted seven exemptions in response to
requests submitted by licensees from
July 13, 2020, to October 8, 2020. These
exemptions temporarily allow the
licensees to deviate from certain
requirements (as cited below) of various
parts of chapter I of title 10 of the Code
of Federal Regulations (10 CFR).
The exemptions from certain
requirements of 10 CFR part 26,
‘‘Fitness for Duty Programs,’’ for Indiana
Michigan Power Company (for Donald
C. Cook Nuclear Plant, Unit Nos. 1 and
2), and NextEra Energy Point Beach,
LLC (for Point Beach Nuclear Plant,
Units 1 and 2), afford these licensees
temporary relief from the work-hour
controls under 10 CFR 26.205(d)(1)
through (d)(7). The exemptions from 10
CFR 26.205(d)(1) through (d)(7) ensure
that the control of work hours and
management of worker fatigue do not
unduly limit licensee flexibility in using
personnel resources to most effectively
manage the impacts of the COVID–19
PHE on maintaining the safe operation
of these facilities. Specifically, these
licensees have stated that their staffing
levels are affected or are expected to be
affected by the COVID–19 PHE, and
they can no longer meet or likely will
not meet the work-hour controls of 10
CFR 26.205(d)(1) through (d)(7). These
licensees have committed to effecting
site-specific administrative controls for
COVID–19 PHE fatigue-management for
personnel specified in 10 CFR 26.4(a).
The exemptions from certain
requirements of 10 CFR part 50,
appendix E, ‘‘Emergency Planning and
PO 00000
Frm 00096
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Preparedness for Production and
Utilization Facilities,’’ section IV.F.,
‘‘Training,’’ for Entergy Operations, Inc.
(for Arkansas Nuclear One, Units 1 and
2), and STP Nuclear Operating
Company (for South Texas Project,
Units 1 and 2), grant temporary
exemptions from the biennial
emergency preparedness exercise
requirement. The exemptions allow a
temporary exemption from the
requirements of 10 CFR part 50,
appendix E, regarding the conduct of
the biennial emergency preparedness
exercise. These exemptions will not
adversely affect the emergency response
capability of the facilities because
affected licensee personnel are currently
qualified, and the licensees’ proposed
compensatory measures will enable
their staff to maintain their knowledge,
skills, and abilities without the conduct
of the biennial emergency preparedness
exercise during the exemption term.
The exemptions from certain
requirements of 10 CFR part 73,
appendix B, ‘‘General Criteria for
Security Personnel,’’ section VI.,
‘‘Nuclear Power Reactor Training and
Qualification Plan for Personnel
Performing Security Program Duties,’’
for Union Electric Company (for
Callaway Plant, Unit No. 1); for Exelon
Generation Company, LLC (for Calvert
Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and
2); and Entergy Operations, Inc. (for
Grand Gulf Nuclear Station, Unit 1),
afford these licensees temporary
exemptions from certain requirements.
The exemptions will help to ensure that
these regulatory requirements do not
unduly limit licensee flexibility in using
personnel resources in a manner that
most effectively manages the impacts of
the COVID–19 PHE on maintaining the
safe and secure operation of these
facilities and the implementation of the
licensees’ NRC-approved security plans,
protective strategy, and implementing
procedures. These licensees have
committed to certain security measures
to ensure response readiness and for
their security personnel to maintain
performance capability.
The NRC is providing compiled tables
of exemptions using a single Federal
Register notice for COVID–19-related
exemptions instead of issuing
individual Federal Register notices for
each exemption. The compiled tables
below provide transparency regarding
the number and type of exemptions the
NRC has issued. Additionally, the NRC
publishes tables of approved regulatory
actions related to the COVID–19 PHE on
its public website at https://
www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/covid-19/
reactors/licensing-actions.html.
