The IMLS provides a variety of grant programs to assist the nation’s museums and libraries in improving their operations and enhancing their services to the public. Museums and libraries of all sizes and types may receive support from IMLS programs. The Museum and Library Services Act, 20 U.S.C. Section 9101, et seq. authorizes the Director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services to make grants to museums and other entities as the Director considers appropriate. In addition, the National Museum of African American History and Culture Act (the ‘‘Act’’) authorizes the Director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services to establish grant and scholarship programs to improve operations, care of collections, and development of professional management of African American museums throughout the country, and to establish grant programs with the purpose of providing internship and fellowship opportunities at African American Museums. See, generally, 20 U.S.C. Section 80r–5(b). The Institute’s new Program is developed pursuant to the provisions of this Act. hsrobinson on PROD1PC68 with NOTICES I.

ACTION: Policy Statement: Revision. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is revising the NRC ‘‘Interim Enforcement Policy Regarding Enforcement Discretion for Certain Fire Protection Issues,’’ to extend the enforcement discretion period to 3 years for those licensees that commit to transition to 10 CFR 50.48(c), and to provide clarification and enhancements predominately in the areas of existing non-compliances and the treatment of non-compliances if a licensee withdraws from the transition. DATES: This revision is effective April 18, 2006. Comments on this revision to the Enforcement Policy may be submitted on or before May 18, 2006. ADDRESSES: Submit written comments to: Michael T. Lesar, Chief, Rules and Directives Branch, Division of Administrative Services, Office of Administration, Mail Stop: T6D59, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, PO 00000 Frm 00057 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 19905 Washington, DC 20555–0001.

Copies of comments received may be examined at the NRC Public Document Room, Room O1F21, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD 20852. You may also e-mail comments to nrcrep@nrc.gov. The NRC maintains the current Enforcement Policy on its Web site at https://www.nrc.gov, select ‘‘What We Do,’’ then ‘‘Enforcement Policy.’’ FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael Johnson, Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555– 0001, (301) 415–2741, e-mail mrj1@nrc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 16, 2004, the NRC published, in the Federal Register, a final rule amending 10 CFR 50.48 (69 FR 33536). This rule became effective on July 16, 2004, and allows licensees to adopt 10 CFR 50.48(c), a voluntary risk-informed, performance-based alternative to current fire protection requirements. The NRC concurrently revised its Enforcement Policy (69 FR 33684) to provide interim enforcement discretion during a ‘‘transition’’ period. The interim enforcement discretion policy includes provisions to address: (1) Noncompliances identified during the licensee’s transition process; and (2) existing identified noncompliances. In accordance with the current Enforcement Policy, for those noncompliances identified during the transition to 10 CFR 50.48(c), the enforcement discretion policy will be in effect for up to 2 years from the date of a licensee’s letter of intent to adopt the requirements of 10 CFR 50.48(c). In addition, when the licensee submits a license amendment request to complete the transition to 10 CFR 50.48(c), the enforcement discretion will continue in effect until the NRC completes its review of the license amendment request. The second element of the interim policy provides enforcement discretion for licensees that wish to take advantage of the rule to resolve existing noncompliances. The original rule required licensees wishing to take advantage of this interim policy to submit a letter of intent to adopt 10 CFR 50.48(c), within 6 months of the effective date of the final rule. However, the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) (ADAMS Accession No. ML042010132) sent a letter dated July 7, 2004, requesting that the NRC extend the deadline for the letter of intent to be E:\FR\FM\18APN1.SGM 18APN1
