Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 99 / Wednesday, May 23, 2007 / Proposed Rules
current regulation does not describe the
compliance review and appeals
processes in a single, cohesive section.
A unified compliance section may
improve the regulation.
(f) Revising the portions of the
regulation regarding evaluation
[currently found at § 1485.20(c)] to
include requirements for country
progress reports and success stories.
(g) Eliminating the Export Incentive
Program/Market Access Program (EIP/
MAP) subcomponent. FAS does not
currently operate the EIP/MAP
subcomponent and is considering
removing reference to the
subcomponent from the regulation.
III. With respect to risk management,
FAS is soliciting comments regarding
the mitigation of the risk inherent to
reimbursing third party contracting
expenses and brand participant
activities with program funds. This
could include improved accounting
controls, insurance against fraud,
bonding employees, or other risk
management tools.
IV. In addition, FAS requests
comments on any other aspect of the
program set forth at 7 CFR part 1485
which commenters believe should be
addressed in any future amendment of
the regulation.
Dated: May 10, 2007.
W. Kirk Miller,
Acting Administrator, Foreign Agricultural
Service, and Vice President, Commodity
Credit Corporation.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
10 CFR Part 50
[Docket No. PRM–50–84]
Mark Edward Leyse; Receipt of
Petition for Rulemaking
Nuclear Regulatory
Commission.
ACTION: Petition for rulemaking; notice
of receipt.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) has received and
requests public comment on a petition
for rulemaking dated March 15, 2007,
filed by Mark Edward Leyse. The
petition has been docketed by the NRC
and has been assigned Docket No. PRM–
50–84. The petitioner is requesting that
the NRC amend the regulations that
govern domestic licensing of production
and utilization facilities to require that
nuclear power facilities be operated to
limit the thickness of crud (corrosion
products) layers and/or the thickness of
oxide layers on fuel rod cladding
surfaces. The petitioner also requests
that the requirements pertaining to
Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS)
evaluation models be amended to
require that the steady-state temperature
distribution and stored energy in reactor
fuel at the onset of a postulated loss-ofcoolant accident (LOCA) be calculated
by factoring in the role that the thermal
resistance of crud and/or oxide layers
on cladding plays in increasing the
stored energy in the fuel. Lastly, the
petitioner requests that the acceptance
criteria for emergency core cooling
systems for light-water nuclear power
reactors be amended to stipulate a
maximum allowable percentage of
hydrogen content in cladding of fuel
rods.
