57074 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No.
193 / Friday, October 5, 2007 / Notices
employers must prepare a written
certification that includes the identity of
the employee trained, the signature of
the employer or the trainer, and the date
the employee completed the training. In
addition, the employer must maintain
an employee’s training certificate for the
duration of their employment and, on
request, make it available to OSHA.
Emergency action plans allow
employers and employees to anticipate,
and effectively respond to, emergencies
that may arise during powered platform
operations. Affixing load rating plates to
suspended units, instructions to
emergency electric operating devices,
and tags to wire rope fasteners prevent
workplace accidents by providing
information to employers and
employees regarding the conditions
under which they can safely operate
these system components. Requiring
building owners to establish and
maintain written certification of
inspections and testing conducted on
the supporting structures of buildings,
powered platform systems, and
suspension wire ropes provides
employers and employees with
assurance that they can operate safely
from the buildings using equipment that
is in safe operating condition.
The training requirements increase
employee safety by allowing them to
develop the skills and knowledge
necessary to effectively operate, use,
and inspect powered platforms,
recognize and prevent safety hazards
associated with platform operation,
respond appropriately under emergency
conditions, and maintain and use their
fall protection arrest system. Training
certification permits employers to
review the training provided to their
employees, thereby ensuring that the
employees received the necessary
training. In addition, the paperwork
requirements specified by the Standard
provide the most efficient means for an
OSHA compliance officer to determine
whether or not employers and building
owners are providing the required
notification, certification, and training.
II. Special Issues for Comment
OSHA has a particular interest in
comments on the following issues:
• Whether the proposed information
collection requirements are necessary
for the proper performance of the
Agency’s functions, including whether
the information is useful;
• The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of
the burden (time and costs) of the
yshivers on PROD1PC62 with NOTICES
information collection requirements,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• The quality, utility, and clarity of
the information collected; and
VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:33 Oct 04, 2007 Jkt 214001
• Ways to minimize the burden on
employers who must comply; for
example, by using automated or other
technological information collection
and transmission techniques.
III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
its approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the
Standard on Powered Platforms for
Building Maintenance (29 CFR 1910.66).
The Agency is requesting to retain its
current burden hour total of 135,656

NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50–285]
Omaha Public Power District; Notice of
Denial of Amendment to Facility
Operating License and Opportunity for
Hearing
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC or the Commission)
has denied a request by Omaha Public
Power District (the licensee), for an
amendment to Renewed Facility
Operating License No. DPR–40 issued to
the licensee for operation of the Fort
Calhoun Station, Unit No. 1, located in
Washington County, Nebraska.
Notice of Consideration of Issuance of
this amendment was published in the
Federal Register on April 26, 2005 (70
FR 21459).
By letter dated March 31, 2005, the
licensee requested an amendment to
revise the Renewed Facility Operating
License and Technical Specifications
(TSs) to increase the license core power.
Fort Calhoun Station, Unit No. 1, is
currently licensed for a rated thermal
power of 1500 megawatts thermal
(MWt). Through the use of more
accurate feedwater flow measurement
equipment, approval was sought to
increase this core power by 1.5 percent
to 1522 MWt. The power uprate would
be based on the use of the
CROSSFLOWTM system for
determination of main feedwater flow
and the associated determination of
reactor power through the performance
of the power calorimetric currently
required by the Fort Calhoun Station
TSs.
The OPPD license amendment request
to increase core power is based on
Westinghouse topical report CENPD–
397–P–A, ‘‘Improved Flow
Measurement Accuracy Using Crossflow
Ultrasonic Flow Measurement
Technology,’’ for new and future uses of
the CROSSFLOW ultrasonic flow meter.
The topical report provided several
assessments with respect to that topical
report to justify the power increase.
Because the licensee’s license
amendment request is based on CENPD–
397–P–A and the NRC staff has
suspended its approval, as explained in
the NRC staff’s letter to Westinghouse
dated September 26, 2007, of the use of
this topical report in license amendment
requests, the NRC staff has concluded
that the licensee’s request cannot be
granted. The licensee was notified of the
Commission’s denial of the proposed
change by a letter dated September 27,
2007.
By 30 days from the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal
PO 00000 Frm 00095 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\05OCN1.SGM
57075
Register, the licensee may demand a
hearing with respect to the denial
described above. Any person whose
interest may be affected by this
proceeding may file a written petition
for leave to intervene pursuant to the
requirements of 10 CFR 2.309.
A request for hearing or petition for
leave to intervene must be filed with the
Secretary of the Commission, U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
Washington, DC 20555–0001 Attention:
Rulemakings and Adjudications Staff, or
may be delivered to the Commission’s
Public Document Room (PDR), located
at One White Flint North, Public File
Area O1 F21, 11555 Rockville Pike (first
floor), Rockville, Maryland, by the
above date. A request for hearing or
petition for leave to intervene may also
be transmitted directly to the Secretary
of the Commission by means of
facsimile transmission to 301–415–1101
or by e-mail to hearingdocket@nrc.gov.
A copy of any petitions should also be
sent to the Office of the General
Counsel, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, Washington, DC 20555–
0001. Copies of petitions may also be
transmitted directly to the Office of the
General Counsel by means of facsimile
transmission to 301–415–3725 or by e-
mail to OGCMailCenter@nrc.gov. A copy
of any petitions should also be sent to
James R. Curtiss, Esq., Winston &
Strawn, 1700 K Street, NW.,
Washington, DC 20006–3817, Senior
Counsel for the licensee.
For further details with respect to this
action, see (1) The application for
amendment dated March 31, 2005, and
(2) the Commission’s letter to the
licensee dated September 27, 2007.
Documents may be examined, and/or
copied for a fee, at the NRC’s PDR,
located at One White Flint North, Public
File Area O1 F21, 11555 Rockville Pike
(first floor), Rockville, Maryland, and
will be accessible electronically through
