making available final Supplement 10,
Second Renewal to NUREG–1437,
regarding the renewal of Exelon
Generation Company, LLC. (Exelon),
operating licenses DPR–44 and DPR–56
for an additional 20 years of operation
for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station,
Units 2 and 3 (Peach Bottom). A Notice
of Availability of Draft Supplement 10,
Second Renewal to NUREG–1437 was
published in the Federal Register on
August 9, 2019 (84 FR 39296), by the
Environmental Protection Agency. The
public comment period on draft
Supplement 10, Second Renewal to
NUREG–1437 ended on September 23,
2019, and the comments received are
addressed in final Supplement 10,
Second Renewal to NUREG–1437.
II. Discussion
As discussed in Chapter 5 of final
Supplement 10, Second Renewal to
NUREG–1437, the NRC staff determined
that the adverse environmental impacts
of subsequent license renewal for Peach
Bottom are not so great that preserving
the option of subsequent license
renewal for energy-planning
decisionmakers would be unreasonable.
This recommendation is based on: (1)
The analysis and findings in the GEIS;
(2) information provided in the
environmental report and other
documents submitted by Exelon; (3)
consultation with Federal, State, local,
and Tribal agencies; (4) the NRC staff’s
independent environmental review; and
(5) consideration of public comments
received during the scoping process and
on the Draft Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 27th day
of January, 2020.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OSC is a
permanent independent federal
investigative and prosecutorial agency.
OSC’s basic authorities come from four
federal statutes: The Civil Service
Reform Act, the Whistleblower
Protection Act, the Hatch Act, and the
Uniformed Services Employment &
Reemployment Rights Act. OSC’s
primary mission is to safeguard the
merit system by protecting federal
employees and applicants from
prohibited personnel practices,
especially reprisal for whistleblowing,
and to serve as a safe channel for
allegations of wrongdoing.
OSC offers the general public and
other Federal agencies the opportunity
to comment on an existing information
collection request (ICR) Reference
Number 201907–3255–002. As required
by the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, Public Law 104–13 (44 U.S.C.
chapter 35), OSC is soliciting comments
for this collection. In particular, OSC
and the Office of Management and
Budget are interested in comments on
this information collection request 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 submissions
of responses.
This information collection was
previously published in the Federal
Register at 84 FR 55188 allowing for a
60-day public comment period. One (1)
commenter responded to the notice and
provided two (2) suggestions. One
suggestion was to add capability for
additional interactive ‘‘platforms’’
complainants could use to submit OSC
Form-14. OSC’s technical team
considered the comment but decided
not to add platforms because
implementing new capabilities at this
time would take additional time,
resources, and budget. The current
platform is a dynamic fillable Adobe
PDF form which allows users to file
without having to log into a system and
gives them the ability to keep a copy of
the file they submitted. Adobe Acrobat
Reader DC software is the free global
standard for reliably viewing, printing,
and commenting on PDF documents.
OSC will continue to consider updating
capabilities in the future. The other
suggestion was to combine retaliation
claims alleging unlawful reprisal for
engaging in whistleblowing or engaging
in protected activity under 5 U.S.C.
2302(b)(8) and (b)(9), arguing that the
separate boxes would be ‘‘confusing’’ to
pro se complainants. OSC does not
adopt the proposed suggestion, first,
because the separate categories are
precisely defined at the beginning of the
document, and also because the second
category, protected activity, includes a
more expansive list of protected
activities such as pursuing an appeals
process or refusing to obey an order that
the employee reasonably believes is
contrary to law, rule, or regulation, that
may not involve whistleblowing.
Because the legal ramifications for
whistleblower retaliation claims are
different from most of the claims
alleging retaliation for engaging in
protected activity, OSC needs to
maintain two distinct allegation boxes.

government employees, and their
representatives, and the general public.
Number of Respondents: 6000
(estimate based on a review of recent
OSC Annual Reports and Congressional
Budget Justifications, and trends).
Estimated Average Amount of Time
for a Person to Respond Using OSC
Form-14: For prohibited personnel
practice and other prohibited activities
allegations, one hour and 15 minutes;
for whistleblower disclosures, one hour;
and for Hatch Act allegations, 30
minutes to complete the form. OSC
based these estimates on testing
completed by OSC employees during
the development of the collection form.
Estimated Annual Burden for Filing
OSC Form-14: 6917.5 hours.
Abstract: The electronic form must be
used to submit allegations of possible
prohibited personnel practices or other
prohibited activity for investigation and
possible prosecution by OSC, and to file
disclosures of covered wrongdoing for
review and possible referral to heads of
agencies. The form may also be used by
individuals to file complaints under the
Hatch Act.
