Commission.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is proposing to
amend its regulations revising the NAC
International, Inc., NAC–UMS Universal
Storage System listing within the ‘‘List
of approved spent fuel storage casks’’ to
include Amendment No. 4 to Certificate

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For
additional information see the direct
final rule published in the final rules
section of this Federal Register.
Procedural Background
This rule is limited to the changes
contained in Amendment 4 to CoC No.
1015 and does not include other aspects
of the NAC–UMS cask design. The NRC
is using the ‘‘direct final rule
procedure’’ to issue this amendment
because it represents a limited and
routine change to an existing CoC that
is expected to be noncontroversial.
Adequate protection of public health
and safety continues to be ensured. The
direct final rule will become effective on
October 11, 2005. However, if the NRC
receives significant adverse comments
by August 24, 2005, then the NRC will
publish a document that withdraws the
direct final rule and will subsequently
address the comments received in a
final rule. The NRC will not initiate a
second comment period on this action.
A significant adverse comment is a
comment where the commenter
explains why the rule would be
inappropriate, including challenges to
the rule’s underlying premise or
approach, or would be ineffective or
unacceptable without a change. A
comment is adverse and significant if:
(1) The comment opposes the rule and
provides a reason sufficient to require a
substantive response in a notice-andcomment process. For example, in a
substantive response:
(a) The comment causes the NRC staff
to reevaluate (or reconsider) its position
or conduct additional analysis;
(b) The comment raises an issue
serious enough to warrant a substantive
response to clarify or complete the
record; or
(c) The comment raises a relevant
issue that was not previously addressed
or considered by the NRC staff.
(2) The comment proposes a change
or an addition to the rule, and it is
apparent that the rule would be
ineffective or unacceptable without
incorporation of the change or addition.
(3) The comment causes the NRC staff
to make a change (other than editorial)
to the CoC or TS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM).
AGENCY:
The FAA proposes to
supersede an existing airworthiness
directive (AD) for Rolls-Royce
Deutschland (formerly Rolls-Royce plc)
(RRD) models Tay 650–15 and 651–54
turbofan engines. That AD currently
requires borescope inspection of the
high pressure compressor (HPC) stage
12 disc assembly to detect damage
caused by HPC outlet guide vane (OGV)
retaining bolt failure, and replacement
of unserviceable parts with serviceable
parts. That AD also requires as
terminating action, the incorporation of
a new design retention arrangement for
the HPC OGV to prevent HPC OGV
retaining bolt failure. This proposed AD
would require the same actions but
extends the terminating action
compliance time for Tay 650–15
engines. This proposed AD would also
include references to later revisions of
two of the applicable RRD service
bulletins (SBs). This proposed AD
results from findings that the
terminating action compliance time for
Tay 650–15 engines can be extended.
We are proposing this AD to prevent an
uncontained failure of the HPC stage
11/12 disc spacer, which could result in
damage to the airplane.

Discussion
On January 18, 2002, the FAA issued
AD 2002–01–29, Amendment 39–12624
(67 FR 4652, January 31, 2002). That AD
requires borescope inspection of the
HPC stage 12 disc assembly to detect
damage caused by HPC OGV retaining
bolt failure, and replacement of
unserviceable parts with serviceable
parts. That AD also requires as
terminating action, the incorporation of
a new design retention arrangement for
the HPC OGV, to prevent HPC OGV
retaining bolt failure.
Actions Since AD 2002–01–29 Was
Issued
Since we issued AD 2002–01–29, the
FAA and the Luftfhart Bundesamt
(LBA), which is the airworthiness
authority for Germany, reassessed the
time period allowed for incorporation of
the terminating action compliance time
for Tay 650–15 engines. Part of that
reassessment takes into consideration
the major reduction in flying time of the
Tay 650–15 airliner fleet, since
September 11, 2001. The FAA and LBA
concluded that the terminating action
compliance time for the Tay 650–15
engines can be safely extended by 25
months.
Special Flight Permits Paragraph
Removed
Paragraph (f) of the current AD, AD
2002–01–29, contains a paragraph
pertaining to special flight permits.
Even though this proposed AD does not
contain a similar paragraph, we have
made no changes with regard to the use
of special flight permits to operate the
airplane to a repair facility to do the
work required by this AD. In July 2002,
we published a new part 39 that
contains a general authority regarding
special flight permits and airworthiness
directives; see Docket No. FAA–2004–
8460, Amendment 39–9474 (69 FR
47998, July 22, 2002). Thus, when we
now supersede ADs we will not include
a specific paragraph on special flight
permits unless we want to limit the use
of that general authority granted in
section 39.23.
Relevant Service Information
We have reviewed and approved the
technical contents of RRD SB No. TAY–
72–1498, Revision 2, dated December
31, 2004. That SB describes procedures
for installing new design retaining and
locking hardware for the HPC OGV and
outer seal housing assembly. The LBA
classified this service bulletin as
mandatory and issued AD D–2004–365,
dated January 31, 2005, in order to
ensure the airworthiness of these RRD
engines in Germany.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For additional information see the direct
final rule published in the final rules section of this Federal
Register.
Procedural Background
This rule is limited to the changes contained in Amendment 4 to CoC
No. 1015 and does not include other aspects of the NAC-UMS cask design.
The NRC is using the ``direct final rule procedure'' to issue this
amendment because it represents a limited and routine change to an
existing CoC that is expected to be noncontroversial. Adequate
protection of public health and safety continues to be ensured. The
direct final rule will become effective on October 11, 2005. However,
if the NRC receives significant adverse comments by August 24, 2005,
then the NRC will publish a document that withdraws the direct final
rule and will subsequently address the comments received in a final
rule. The NRC will not initiate a second comment period on this action.
A significant adverse comment is a comment where the commenter
explains why the rule would be inappropriate, including challenges to
the rule's underlying premise or approach, or would be ineffective or
unacceptable without a change. A comment is adverse and significant if:
(1) The comment opposes the rule and provides a reason sufficient
to require a substantive response in a notice-and-comment process. For
example, in a substantive response:
(a) The comment causes the NRC staff to reevaluate (or reconsider)
its position or conduct additional analysis;
(b) The comment raises an issue serious enough to warrant a
substantive response to clarify or complete the record; or
(c) The comment raises a relevant issue that was not previously
addressed or considered by the NRC staff.
(2) The comment proposes a change or an addition to the rule, and
it is apparent that the rule would be ineffective or unacceptable
without incorporation of the change or addition.
(3) The comment causes the NRC staff to make a change (other than
editorial) to the CoC or TS.
