The regulation at 7 CFR 6.34(a) states: ‘‘Whenever a historical license (Appendix 1) is not issued to an applicant pursuant to the provisions of § 6.23, is permanently surrendered or is revoked by the Licensing Authority, the PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 amount of such license will be transferred to Appendix 2.’’ Section 6.34(b) provides that the cumulative annual transfers will be published in the Federal Register.

Part 25 contains procedures for establishing initial and continuing eligibility for access authorizations for individuals who may require access to classified information. Part 95 contains procedures for obtaining a facility security clearance for licensees, certificate holders, or other persons who need to use, process, store, reproduce, transmit, transport, or handle certain types of NRC classified information at any location in connection with Commission-related activities. The purpose of this rulemaking is to amend Parts 25 and 95 to: (1) Add references to 10 CFR Parts 60 and 63 in §§ 25.5, 25.17(a) and 95.5; (2) expand the scope of §§ 25.3 and 95.3 to include persons who may not be licensees or certificate holders or applicants for a license or certificate; (3) clarify the definition of ‘‘license’’ in §§ 25.5 and 95.5 to include a reference to Part 52; (4) correct the omission of a reference to certificate holders in § 25.3; (5) correct a typographical error in the definition of ‘‘security container’’ in § 95.5; and (6) update references to Executive Order 12958 to reflect that this Executive Order has been amended and could be further amended in the future. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION 10 CFR Parts 25 and 95 RIN 3150–AH52 Broadening Scope of Access Authorization and Facility Security Clearance Regulations Nuclear Regulatory Commission. ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) is amending its regulations to broaden the scope of the regulations applicable to persons who may require access to classified information, to include persons who may need access in connection with licensing and regulatory activities under the regulations that govern the disposal of high-level radioactive waste in geologic repositories, and persons who may need access in connection with other activities as the Commission may determine, such as vendors of advanced reactor designs. The Commission is also amending its regulations to broaden the scope of the regulations applicable to procedures for obtaining facility security clearances, to include persons who may need to use, process, store, reproduce, transmit, transport, or handle NRC classified information in connection with the above-identified activities. In addition, NRC is correcting the scope section of the regulations that govern access authorization for licensee personnel to include certificate holders and applicants for a certificate; clarifying the definition of ‘‘license’’ in the regulations that govern access authorization for licensee personnel and govern facility security clearance to include a reference to the regulations that govern combined licenses; correcting a typographical error in the definition of ‘‘security container’’ in its facility security regulations; and updating the references to Executive Order 12958 which has been amended. DATES: The final rule is effective on July 5, 2005. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Anthony N. Tse, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555–0001, telephone (301) 415–6233, e-mail ant@nrc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate jul<14>2003 15:00 Jun 01, 2005 Jkt 205001 Direct Final Rule and Companion Proposed Rule On December 15, 2004 (69 FR 74949), the NRC published in the Federal Register a direct final rule that would have amended NRC’s regulations to broaden the scope of the regulations in 10 CFR Parts 25 and 95. The direct final rule was to become effective on February 28, 2005. The NRC concurrently published a companion proposed rule on December 15, 2004 (69 FR 75007). In the direct final rule, NRC stated that if any significant adverse comments were received, a notice of timely withdrawal of the direct final rule would be published in the Federal Register. As a result, the direct final rule would not take effect. NRC received one public comment letter consisting of at least one significant adverse comment on the direct final rule; therefore, NRC withdrew the direct final rule on February 24, 2005 (70 FR 8921). NRC is addressing the comments received on the companion proposed rule in this final rule. PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Discussion Although 10 CFR 25.3 speaks broadly of the regulations that apply to ‘‘licensees and others who may require access to classified information related to a license or an application for a license,’’ in 10 CFR 25.5, ‘‘license’’ is defined to mean ‘‘a license issued pursuant to 10 CFR Parts 50, 70, or 72.’’ Similarly, 10 CFR 95.3 states that the regulations apply to licensees and certificate holders and others regulated by the Commission who need access in connection with a license or certificate or an application for a license or certificate. However, at 10 CFR 95.5, ‘‘license’’ is defined to mean ‘‘a license issued pursuant to 10 CFR Parts 50, 70, or 72.’’ Absent from these provisions is any reference to the Commission’s regulations that govern the issuance of construction authorizations and licenses for disposal of high-level radioactive waste in geologic repositories (10 CFR Part 60) or in a potential geologic repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada (10 CFR Part 63). Parts 25 and 95 were published on March 5, 1980; 45 FR 14476, before issuance of Part 60 (February 25, 1981; 46 FR 13971) or Part 63 (November 2, 2001; 66 FR 55732) and Parts 25 and 95 were not amended to include these regulations. The Commission currently anticipates receiving a license application from the U.S. Department of Energy under the provisions of Part 63. An adjudicatory proceeding on this license application could implicate the need for access authorizations and facility security clearances by persons who plan to participate in the proceeding. Accordingly, NRC is amending the definition of ‘‘license’’ in §§ 25.5 and 95.5 to include references to licenses issued under Parts 60 and 63. For the same reason, references to Parts 60 and 63 are added to § 25.17(a). A second restriction that presently exists in 10 CFR 25.3 and 95.3 is that the requested access authorizations or facility security clearances must be related to a license or certificate, or an application for a license or certificate. However, there may be certain Commission-related activities undertaken by entities who are not licensees or certificate holders, or applicants for a license or certificate where an access authorization or facility security clearance may be needed. The NRC believes there is a need for access authorizations and facility security clearances for vendors who are involved in the design of advanced reactors. These vendors could need access to classified information which would enable them to consider potential E:\FR\FM\02JNR1.SGM 02JNR1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Foreign Agricultural Service, under a

tariff by or for the account of a person or firm to whom such licenses 
have been issued and only in accordance with the terms and conditions 
of the regulation.
    Licenses are issued on a calendar year basis, and each license

Policies and Programs Division, Foreign Agricultural Service, U.S. 
Department of Agriculture, issues these licenses and, in conjunction 
with the U.S. Customs Service, monitors their use.
    The regulation at 7 CFR 6.34(a) states: ``Whenever a historical 
license (Appendix 1) is not issued to an applicant pursuant to the 
provisions of Sec.  6.23, is permanently surrendered or is revoked by 
the Licensing Authority, the amount of such license will be transferred 
to Appendix 2.'' Section 6.34(b) provides that the cumulative annual 
transfers will be published in the Federal Register. Accordingly, this 
document sets forth the revised Appendices for the 2005 tariff-rate 
quota year.
