SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Regulatory Issue Summary 2000–06,
‘‘Consolidated Line Item Improvement
Process for Adopting Standard
Technical Specification Changes for
Power Reactors,’’ was issued on March
20, 2000. The CLIIP is intended to
improve the efficiency of NRC licensing
processes. This is accomplished by
processing proposed changes to the
standard TS (STS) in a manner that
supports subsequent license amendment
applications. The CLIIP includes an
opportunity for the public to comment
on proposed changes to the STS
following a preliminary assessment by
the NRC staff and finding that the
change will likely be offered for
adoption by licensees. The CLIIP directs
the NRC staff to evaluate any comments
received for a proposed change to the
STS and to either reconsider the change
or to proceed with announcing the
availability of the change for proposed
adoption by licensees. Those licensees
opting to apply for the subject change to
TS are responsible for reviewing the
staff’s evaluation, referencing the
applicable technical justifications, and
providing any necessary plant-specific
information. Each amendment
application made in response to the
notice of availability will be processed
and noticed in accordance with
applicable rules and NRC procedures.
This notice involves the revision of
limiting conditions for operation and
related administrative controls in TS
addressing steam generator tube
integrity at PWRs. This proposed change
was proposed for incorporation into the
STS by participants in the Technical
Specification Task Force (TSTF) and is
designated TSTF–449, Revision 4.
TSTF–449 can be viewed on the NRC
Web site (https://www.nrc.gov).
Applicability
This proposed change to revise the TS
on steam generator tube integrity is
applicable to licensees for PWRs who
have adopted or will adopt, in
conjunction with the proposed change,
technical specification requirements for
VerDate jul<14>2003

Jkt 205001
a Bases control program consistent with
the TS Bases Control Program described
in Section 5.5 of the applicable vendor’s
STS.
To efficiently process the incoming
license amendment applications, the
staff requests each licensee applying for
the changes addressed by TSTF–449
using the CLIIP to provide the
information identified in the model
application posted on the NRC Web site.

Public Notices
In a notice in the Federal Register
dated March 2, 2005 (70 FR 10298), the
staff requested comment on the use of
the CLIIP to process requests to revise
the TS regarding steam generator tube
integrity. In addition, there have been
several plant-specific amendment
requests to adopt changes similar to
those described in TSTF–449 and
notices have been published for these
applications.
TSTF–449, as well as the NRC staff’s
safety evaluation and model
application, may be examined, and/or
copied for a fee, at the NRC’s Public
Document Room, located at One White
Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike (first
floor), Rockville, Maryland. Publicly
available records are accessible
electronically from the ADAMS Public
Library component on the NRC Web site
(the Electronic Reading Room).
The staff received one response with
comments following the notice
published March 2, 2005 (70 FR 10298),
soliciting comments on the model SE
and NSHC determination related to
TSTF–449, Revision 3. The comments
were offered by the Nuclear Energy
Institute (NEI) in a letter dated April 1,
2005. The NEI comments suggested
clarifications and minor corrections to
Revision 3 of TSTF–449 and related
changes to the staff’s model SE. In
response to comments, the TSTF
submitted Revision 4 to TSTF–449 in its
letter dated April 14, 2005. The NRC
staff has made only minor changes to
the model SE to address editorial issues
and to reflect the revision of TSTF–449.
The staff finds that the previously
published models remain appropriate
references (as modified slightly to
reflect Revision 4 of TSTF–449) and has
chosen not to republish the model SE
and model NSHC determination in this
notice. As described in the model
application prepared by the staff,
licensees may reference in their plantspecific applications to adopt TSTF–
449, the SE (as revised above), NSHC
determination, and environmental
assessment previously published in the
Federal Register (70 FR 10298; March 2,
2005).

Notice of modification to an
existing system of records.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The United States Postal
Service (USPS) is proposing to
modify two of its Privacy Act systems of
records: USPS 810.200, www.usps.com
Ordering, Payment, and Fulfillment,

In this
notice, the USPS is modifying two
systems of records entitled USPS
810.200, https://www.usps.com Ordering,
Payment, and Fulfillment, and USPS
900.000, International Services,
pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974, 5
U.S.C. 552a. The changes are needed in
order to ensure that all customs
declaration information collected for
outgoing mail is covered by the Privacy
Act, and to add a routine use allowing
disclosures to the U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (Customs) pursuant to
recent federal law. The background of
programs for international mail and
customs declarations, as well as reasons
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
VerDate jul<14>2003
18:03 May 05, 2005
Jkt 205001
changes are needed to the two Privacy
Act systems, are described below.
I. Background
The following describes the
background of how customs declaration
information has been prepared for
outgoing international mail, including a
description of any applicable Privacy
Act requirements. USPS customers must
submit customs declaration information
for mail weighing 16 ounces or more, as
well as all mail containing potentially
dutiable items regardless of their
weight. The contents and value of an
item must be declared on the applicable
customs form, along with the name and
address of the sender and the addressee.
Customers may complete a hard copy
form available at a Post OfficeTM, or
complete online forms using various
tools available at usps.com. Customs
declaration is also automated in various
customized mailing agreements with
mailers, including Express Mail
Manifesting and International
Customized Mailing.
USPS customers use two basic
approaches to preparing customs
declarations. First, customers can
complete hard copy declaration forms at
Post Offices when they submit outgoing
international mail. These forms have not
been covered in the past by a Privacy
Act system of records. The Post Office,
which filed a copy for 30 days, retrieved
the form solely by date of mailing, for
instance, for the occasional purpose of
assisting in researching a problem at a
customer’s request.
Second, online services at usps.com
offer alternatives to the hard copy forms
available at Post Offices. Simple forms
can be printed from usps.com, which do
not require the customer to create an
account at usps.com. For the same
reasons as above, information prepared
using these simple forms have not in the
past been covered by the Privacy Act.
Another alternative at usps.com is a
comprehensive solution called Click-NShip. Click-N-Ship allows customers
to prepare and print labels and postage
for both domestic and international
mail. When using Click-N-Ship for
international packages, customers open
an account on usps.com, and then may
prepare mailing labels and/or customs
declarations online using a personal
computer, printer, and Internet
connection. Customers can print the
shipping labels on their printer. The
shipping label includes the customs
declaration in the form ready to affix to
the package. Click-N-Ship information
is covered by the Privacy Act, and is
included in system of records USPS
810.200, www.usps.com Ordering,
Payment, and Fulfillment.
PO 00000
Frm 00168
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
As a result of the above procedures,
international outgoing mail will have
affixed to it a customs declaration,
whether the customer uses the hard
copy form obtained at the Post Office or
any of the usps.com services described
above. Outbound international mail
bearing a customs form has been subject
to review by Customs when the mail is
processed at mail processing centers.
International mail, including any
attached customs forms, is also subject
to customs examination in the
destination country.
II. Rationale for Changes to USPS
Privacy Act Systems of Records
Section 343(a) of the Trade Act of
2002 (Pub. L. 107–210, 116 Stat. 933,
enacted on August 6, 2002) authorizes
Customs to promulgate regulations
‘‘providing for the transmission to the
Customs Service, through an electronic
data interchange system, of information
pertaining to cargo to be brought into
the United States or to be sent from the
United States, prior to the arrival or
departure of the cargo.’’ These
regulations were published by Customs
on December 5, 2003 (68 FR 68140), but
did not mandate requirements on USPS
shipments. According to Public Law No.
107–210, Customs, ‘‘in consultation
with the Postmaster General, shall
determine whether it is appropriate to
impose the same or similar
requirements on shipments by the
United States Postal Service.’’
Pursuant to this authority, Customs
has since determined how USPS can
provide advance notice about
information on outgoing international
mail. USPS plans to automate, as
computer-readable records, customs
declaration information and transmit
these records to Customs. Because USPS
plans to create such automated records
and because the records will likely be
retrieved by customer name or other
identifier, USPS is bringing all customs
declaration records under the protection
of the Privacy Act. Hard copy forms will
be covered by USPS system of records
900.000, International Services. Online
forms, to the extent not already covered,
will be protected by USPS system of
records 810.200, www.usps.com
Ordering, Payment, and Fulfillment. A
change to both systems of records is also
needed to add a routine use allowing
disclosure of the records to customs
officials.
III. Description of Changes to Systems
of Records
To accomplish changes needed, the
USPS is modifying two applicable
systems of records. USPS Privacy Act
