2. Participation Guidelines for Oral
Limited Appearance Statements
Any person not party to the
proceeding has the opportunity, as
specified below, to make an oral
statement setting forth his or her
position on matters of concern relating
to this proceeding. These statements
will be transcribed and will become part
of the record of the proceeding for
future reference, and they may ( if
focused on the contentions under
consideration—assist the Board in
formulating questions to ask the parties
during oral argument or prompt the
parties to address particular matters at
the argument or in some other fashion.
They do not, however, constitute
evidence upon which a decision may be
based.
Oral limited appearance statements
will be entertained during the hours
specified above, although a lesser time
period may be sufficient to
accommodate the speakers who are
present. If all scheduled and
unscheduled speakers present at a
session have made a presentation, the
Licensing Board reserves the right to
terminate the session before the ending
time listed above.
In order to accommodate as many
speakers as feasible, the time allotted for
each statement normally will be no
more than three minutes, and speakers
should prepare accordingly. That time
limit may be altered, depending on the
number of written requests that are
submitted in accordance with
subsection 3 below, and/or the number
of persons present at the designated
time. The same security guidelines
applicable to the oral argument will be
applicable to the limited appearance
session as well, although limited
appearance sessions are not deemed to
be ‘‘adjudicatory proceedings’’ within
the meaning of those guidelines.
3. Submitting a Request to Make an Oral
Limited Appearance Statement
Persons wishing to make an oral
statement who have submitted a timely
written request to do so will be given
priority over those who have not filed
such a request. In order to be considered
timely for priority purposes, a written
request to make an oral statement must
be mailed, faxed, or sent by e-mail so as
to be received at NRC Headquarters by
noon, EDT on Friday, August 17, 2007.
In light of possible mail delivery delays,
persons able to do so may wish to use
VerDate Aug<31>2005

fax or e-mail to assure that their requests
are timely received.
These written requests to make an
oral statement are to be submitted in
one of the following fashions:
Mail: Office of the Secretary,
Rulemakings and Adjudications Staff,
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
Washington, DC 20555–0001.
Fax: (301) 415–1101 (verification
(301) 415–1966).
E-mail: hearingdocket@nrc.gov.
In addition, using the same method of
service, a copy of the request must be
sent to the Licensing Board as follows:
Mail: MOX Limited Appearance Box,
Atomic Safety and Licensing Board
Panel, Mail Stop T–3F23, U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission, Washington,
DC 20555–0001.
Fax: (301) 415–5599 (verification
(301) 415–7550).
E-mail: pah@nrc.gov and
mxc7@nrc.gov.
Phone requests to make limited
appearance statements will not be
accepted.
4. Submitting Written Limited
Appearance Statements
A written limited appearance
statement (in lieu of or in addition to an
oral presentation) may be submitted at
any time. Such statements should be
sent to the Office of the Secretary using
the methods prescribed above, with a
copy to the Licensing Board as noted
above.

Excerpt from Federal Register notice
published on June 12, 2001 (66 FR
31,719):
In order to balance the orderly conduct of
government business with the right of free
speech, the following procedures regarding
attendance at NRC public meetings and
hearings have been established:
Visitors (other than properly identified
Congressional, press, and government
personnel) may be subject to personnel
screening, such as passing through metal
detectors and inspecting visitors’ briefcases,
packages, etc.
Signs, banners, posters and displays will
be prohibited from all NRC adjudicatory
proceedings (Commission and Atomic Safety
and Licensing Board Panel hearings) because
they are disruptive to the conduct of the
adjudicatory process. Signs, banners, posters
and displays not larger than 18″ × 18″ will
be permitted at all other NRC proceedings,
but cannot be waved, held over one’s head
or generally moved about while in the
meeting room. Signs, banners, posters and
displays larger than 18″ × 18″ will not be
permitted in the meeting room because they
are disruptive both to the participants and
the audience. Additionally, signs, banners,
posters, and displays affixed to any sticks,
poles or other similar devices will not be
permitted in the meeting room.
The presiding official will note, on the
record, any disruptive behavior and warn the
person to cease the behavior. If the person
does not cease the behavior, the presiding
official may call a brief recess to restore order
and/or ask one of the security personnel on
hand to remove the person.

This new routine use is needed in
order to allow for disclosure of records
to appropriate persons and entities for
purposes of response and remedial
efforts in the event of a breach of data
contained in the protected systems. This
routine use will facilitate an effective
response to a confirmed or suspected
breach by allowing for disclosure to
individuals affected by the breach, in
cases, if any, where such disclosure is
not otherwise authorized under the Act.
This routine use will also authorize
disclosures to others who are in a
position to assist in response efforts,
either by assisting in notification to
affected individuals or otherwise
playing a role in preventing,
minimizing, or remedying harms from
the breach.

The Privacy Act authorizes the agency
to adopt routine uses that are consistent
with the purpose for which information
is collected and subject to that Act. 5
U.S.C. 552a(b)(3); see also 5 U.S.C.
552a(a)(7). The Peace Corps believes
that it is consistent with the collection
of information pertaining to such
individuals to disclose Privacy Act
records when, in doing so, it will help
prevent, minimize or remedy a data
breach or compromise that may affect
such individuals. The Peace Corps
believes that failure to take reasonable
steps to help prevent or minimize the
harm that may result from such a breach
or compromise would jeopardize, rather
than promote, the privacy of such
individuals. Accordingly, the Peace
Corps concludes that it is authorized
under the Privacy Act to adopt a routine

On July
31, 2007, the Postal Service filed a
request seeking a recommended
decision approving a change in the
Domestic Mail Classification Schedule
(DMCS) making Premium Forwarding
Service (PFS) permanent.1 The request,
which was filed pursuant to chapter 36
of title 39, United States Code, includes
five attachments.2 In support of the
Request, the Postal Service has filed
Direct Testimony of Laraine B. Hope
(USPS–T–1), Abdulkadir M.
Abdirahman (USPS–T–2) and Gregory
Dawson (USPS–T–3).
For two years the Postal Service has
been offering experimental PFS in
accordance with the Commission’s
Recommended Decision Approving the
Stipulation and Agreement in Docket
No. MC2005–1 and the Governor’s
Decision of May 10, 2005, approving the
recommendation. Based on the results
of the experiment, the Postal Service has
concluded that PFS is an attractive
supplement to pre-existing options for
customers who temporarily relocate.
Request at 1–2.
The Postal Service concurrently filed
a conditional motion for waiver of
certain filing requirements.3 The Postal
Service claims that its submissions
comply with the Commission’s filing
requirements through incorporation by
reference. It also acknowledges that it
has supplemented materials developed
for this request by incorporating
documentation submitted by the Postal
Service in the most recently concluded
omnibus rate proceeding, Docket No.
R2006–1. Accordingly, the Service
requests a waiver of certain filing
requirements pursuant to 39 CFR
3001.22, 3001.54(r), and 3001.64(h)(3) if

suspected or confirmed compromise
there is a risk of harm to economic or
property interests, identity theft or
fraud, or harm to the security or
integrity of this system or other systems
or programs (whether maintained by the
Peace Corps or another agency or entity)
that rely upon the compromised
information; and (3) the disclosure
made to such agencies, entities, and

the Commission finds that materials
incorporated from Docket No. R2006–1
are not sufficient. Motion for Waiver at
2–3.
The Postal Service also has filed
United States Postal Service Request for
Establishment of Settlement Procedures,
August 2, 2007 (Settlement Request).
The Postal Service contends that the
testimony of its three witnesses in
support of the Settlement Request is
straightforward and the proposal to
make PFS permanent would not change
the terms of the existing service or its
prices. Further, it maintains that PFS
customer benefits and minor financial
impact may increase the likelihood of
settlement. Id. at 1. Thus, the Postal
Service requests the Commission’s
assistance in establishing settlement
procedures for this proceeding. Id. at 3.
The Request, accompanying
testimony and other related material can
be accessed electronically, via the
Internet, on the Commission’s Web site
(https://www.prc.gov).
I. Proposed Premium Forwarding
Service
The Postal Service proposes to make
Premium Forwarding Service
permanent. PFS is intended for
residential customers. When residential
customers temporarily relocate to
another domestic address this service
reships all of their mail once a week.
After a customer enrolls in PFS and his
or her application is accepted, the Postal
Service bundles and reships the mail to
a temporary address. The customer’s
mail is reshipped via Priority Mail in a
Priority Mail package. PFS is available
for a period of at least two weeks and
no longer than one year (per
application). This service also allows
customers to specify whether to include
the mail of the entire household or
merely an individual addressee. Id. at 2.
The Postal Service proposes that the
existing application and weekly prices
be retained.
The fee for mail reshipped by PFS
includes a $10.00 enrollment fee for the
service and a weekly reshipment fee of
$2.85. The customer also will be
charged the Priority Mail postage
appropriate for a 3-pound parcel to zone
6, currently $9.10. Altogether,
customers will pay $11.95 for the
weekly reshipment of their mail.
The Postal Service asserts that
permanent PFS would advance the
general policies of the Postal
Reorganization Act by reducing the time
between entry of mail and recipients’
access to its valuable contents.

This new routine use is needed in order to allow for disclosure of
records to appropriate persons and entities for purposes of response
and remedial efforts in the event of a breach of data contained in the
protected systems. This routine use will facilitate an effective
response to a confirmed or suspected breach by allowing for disclosure
to individuals affected by the breach, in cases, if any, where such
disclosure is not otherwise authorized under the Act. This routine use
will also authorize disclosures to others who are in a position to
assist in response efforts, either by assisting in notification to
affected individuals or otherwise playing a role in preventing,
minimizing, or remedying harms from the breach.
The Privacy Act authorizes the agency to adopt routine uses that
are consistent with the purpose for which information is collected and
subject to that Act. 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3); see also 5 U.S.C. 552a(a)(7).
The Peace Corps believes that it is consistent with the collection of
information pertaining to such individuals to disclose Privacy Act
records when, in doing so, it will help prevent, minimize or remedy a
data breach or compromise that may affect such individuals. The Peace
Corps believes that failure to take reasonable steps to help prevent or
minimize the harm that may result from such a breach or compromise
would jeopardize, rather than promote, the privacy of such individuals.
Accordingly, the Peace Corps concludes that it is authorized under the
Privacy Act to adopt a routine use permitting disclosure of Privacy Act
records for such purposes.
In accordance with the Privacy Act, see 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) and
(11), the Peace Corps is publishing notice of this routine use and
giving the public a 30-day period to comment before adopting it as
final. The Peace Corps is also providing at least 40 days advance
notice of this proposed system notice amendment to OMB and the
Congress, as required by the Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), and OMB Circular A-
130, Revised, Appendix I. We note that the text of this routine use is
taken from the routine use that has already been published in final
form by the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission
after public comment. See 72 FR 3410 (Jan. 25, 2007); 72 FR 31835 (June
8, 2007). Similarly, after taking into account
[[Page 44880]]
comments, if any, received by the Peace Corps, the Peace Corps intends
to publish its proposed routine use as final after the period for OMB
and Congressional review is complete.
Accordingly, the Peace Corps hereby proposes to amend General
Routine Uses of its Privacy Act system notices, as published at 65 FR
53,772 (September 5, 2000), by adding the following new routine use:
* * * * *
General Routine Use M: To all appropriate agencies, entities, and
persons when (1) The Peace Corps suspects or has confirmed that the
security or confidentiality of information in the system of records has
been compromised; (2) the Peace Corps has determined that as a result
of the suspected or confirmed compromise there is a risk of harm to
economic or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or harm to the
security or integrity of this system or other systems or programs
(whether maintained by the Peace Corps or another agency or entity)
that rely upon the compromised information; and (3) the disclosure made
to such agencies, entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to
assist in connection with the Peace Corps' efforts to respond to the
suspected or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such
harm.
Dated: August 3, 2007.
