May 22, 2012 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is soliciting public comment on NUREG-0800, ``Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants: LWR Edition,'' on a proposed Revision 3 to Standard Review Plan (SRP), Section 19.1, ``Determining the Technical Adequacy of Probabilistic Risk Assessment for Risk-Informed License Amendment Requests After Initial Fuel Load'' (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML112990771). The Office of New Reactors and Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation are revising SRP Section 19.1, which updates Revision 2 (ADAMS Accession No. ML071700657) dated June 2007, to reflect the changes as listed in the description of changes. These changes include (1) the regulatory requirements in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), 50.71(h)(1), (h)(2), and (h)(3) for new reactors, (2) applicability of the National Fire Protection Association 805 transition, and (3) latest information on probabilistic risk assessment technical adequacy for risk-informed license amendment requests after initial fuel load. A redline document comparing Revision 2 and the current proposed Revision 3 can be found under ADAMS Accession No. ML112990870. The NRC staff issues Federal Register notices to facilitate timely implementation of the current staff guidance and to facilitate activities associated with the review of amendment applications

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will file the plat of survey of the lands described below in the BLM-Eastern States office in Springfield, Virginia, 30 calendar days from the date of publication in the Federal Register.

We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Agusta S.p.A. (Agusta) Model A109E and Model A109S helicopters with certain lower semichannel assemblies installed. This proposed AD results from reported cases of damage to the main drive shaft caused by improperly secured metallic spacers on some A109 model helicopters. This proposed AD would require a one-time inspection of the lower semichannel assemblies to determine if metallic spacers are installed. If the metallic spacers are installed, this proposed AD would require an inspection for the correct installation of the metallic spacers on the semichannels and for the correct seating of the gaskets. If the metallic spacers are not installed with rivets, the lower semichannel assemblies would be required to be modified, and the main drive shaft would be inspected for damage. The actions specified by this proposed AD are intended to detect missing spacer rivets, which could allow the metallic spacers to rotate and lead to damage and failure of the main drive shaft, and subsequent loss of helicopter control.

Before a Federal agency can collect certain information from the public, it must receive approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Under procedures established by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, before seeking OMB approval, Federal agencies must solicit public comment on proposed collections of information, including extensions and reinstatement of previously approved collections. This document describes one collection of information for which NHTSA intends to seek OMB approval.

We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Eurocopter Deutschland GmbH Model MBB-BK117 C-2 helicopters with certain Generator Control Units (GCU) installed. This proposed AD is prompted by reports of internal short circuits in certain GCUs. The proposed actions are intended to replace any affected GCUs to prevent a short circuit, which could result in a loss of electrical generating power, loss of systems required for continued safe flight and landing, and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.

We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Model A300 B4-600 and A300 B4-600R, Model A300, and Model A310 series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of fatigue cracking in the crossbeams at the junction of the actuator beam of the lower deck cargo door. This proposed AD would require repetitive inspections of the crossbeams of certain fuselage frames, and repair if necessary. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct cracking of the crossbeams at the junction of the actuator beam of the lower deck cargo door, which could result in failure to withstand ultimate load conditions, and consequent reduced structural integrity of the airplane.

Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, the Regulatory Secretariat will be submitting to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for approval of a previously approved information collection requirement regarding small business size representation.

Copies of the Paperwork Reduction Act Submission, supporting statements and approved collection of information instrument(s) are placed into OMB's public docket files. The Federal Reserve may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to respond to, an information collection that has been extended, revised, or implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), located within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announces draft recommendations for identification of persons with HCV chronic infection, available for public comment. The recommendations are intended to increase the proportion of persons with chronic HCV who are diagnosed, provided appropriate prevention services, and linked to needed care and treatment. Public comment will be used to inform the final recommendations. The Recommendations may be found at https:// www.regulations.gov, Docket No. CDC-2012-0005.
