III. Additional Information
During the 711th meeting of the
Advisory Committee on Reactor
Safeguards (ACRS), December 6–7,
2023, the ACRS, the NRC staff, and
representatives of other stakeholders
discussed guidance documents related
to the ARCAP and the TICAP. On
December 20, 2023, the ACRS issued a
report documenting its review of these
guidance documents (ADAMS
Accession No. ML23348A182). The
conclusions and recommendations in
the ACRS report apply to all the ARCAP
and TICAP guidance documents. In its
December 2023 report, the ACRS
recommended changes to DANU–ISG–
2022–05. As set forth in its letter dated
March 18, 2024 (ADAMS Accession No.
ML24024A025) in which the NRC staff
responded to the ACRS report, the NRC
staff considered the ACRS
recommendations and, for the reasons
stated in the staff letter, determined that
changes to DANU–ISG–2022–05 were
unnecessary.
Draft DANU–ISG–2022–05, Chapter
11, ‘‘Organization and Human-System
Considerations,’’ was published in the
Federal Register for public comment on
May 25, 2023, (88 FR 33928) with a 45day comment period. Subsequently, the
comment period was extended by 30
days as noted in the Federal Register
dated June 28, 2023 (88 FR 41992). The
NRC staff received twelve public
comments from stakeholders. The NRC
staff’s evaluation and resolution of the
public comments can be found in a
document located in ADAMS under
Accession No. ML23277A152.
IV. Congressional Review Act
DANU–ISG–2022–05, Chapter 11,
‘‘Organization and Human-System
Considerations,’’ is a rule as defined in
the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C.
801–808). However, the Office of
Management and Budget has not found

VerDate Sep<11>2014

18:18 Apr 02, 2024

Jkt 262001

it to be a major rule as defined in the
Congressional Review Act.
V. Backfitting, Forward Fitting, and
Issue Finality
DANU–ISG–2022–05 does not
constitute backfitting as defined in 10
CFR 50.109, ‘‘Backfitting,’’ and as
described in Management Directive
(MD) 8.4, ‘‘Management of Backfitting,
Forward Fitting, Issue Finality, and
Information Requests’’; does not
constitute forward fitting as that term is
defined and described in MD 8.4; and
does not affect the issue finality of any
approval issued under 10 CFR part 52.
The guidance would not apply to any
current licensees or applicants or
existing or requested approvals under
10 CFR part 52, and therefore its
issuance cannot be a backfit or forward
fit or affect issue finality. Further, as
explained in DANU–ISG–2022–05,
applicants and licensees would not be
required to comply with the positions
set forth in DANU–ISG–2022–05.
Dated: March 28, 2024.

II. Background
Under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. chapter 35), the NRC recently
submitted a request for renewal of an
existing collection of information to
OMB for review entitled, NRC Form
149, ‘‘OCFO Invitational Traveler
Request Form.’’ The NRC hereby
informs potential respondents that an
agency may not conduct or sponsor, and
that a person is not required to respond
to, a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
The NRC published a Federal
Register notice with a 60-day comment
period on this information collection on
December 15, 2023, 88 FR 86948.
1. The title of the information
collection: NRC Form 149, OCFO
Invitational Traveler Request Form.
2. OMB approval number: 3150–0247.
3. Type of submission: Revision.
4. The form number, if applicable:
NRC Form 149.
5. How often the collection is required
or requested: The collection is required
when there is an invitational traveler
that will be reimbursed by the NRC.
This occurs on an as needed basis and
does not have a regular schedule for
submission.
6. Who will be required or asked to
respond: The invitational traveler will
be asked to respond and NRC staff that
are associated with the purpose of the
invitational traveler may also be asked
to respond on an as needed basis.
7. The estimated number of annual
responses: 435.
8. The estimated number of annual
respondents: 435.
9. The estimated number of hours
needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or
request: 109.
10. Abstract: The NRC provides
reimbursement for people on
invitational travel for the NRC. As such,
the NRC would reimburse them through
our Financial Accounting and Integrated
Management Information System
(FAIMIS). Additionally, the travel itself
would be processed in our electronic
travel systems (ETS2). Both the financial
and travel systems must be set up
appropriately for the invitational
traveler to travel and receive
reimbursement from the NRC. The

PO 00000

Frm 00091

information collected on Form 149
meets the requirements for the
invitational traveler to have a profile
created in FAIMIS and in ETS2. The
information collected is necessary to
meet the criteria for both systems.
Dated: March 29, 2024.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Information Officer.
