ACTION: Issuance, Availability of Regulatory Guide 1.45, Revision 1. AGENCY: John Ridgely, Regulatory Guide Development Branch, Division of Engineering, Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555–0001, telephone (301) 415–6555 or e-mail to John.Ridgely@nrc.gov. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES I. Introduction The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing a revision to an existing guide in the agency’s ‘‘Regulatory Guide’’ series. This series was developed to describe and make available to the public information such as methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific parts of the agency’s regulations, techniques that the staff uses in evaluating specific problems or postulated accidents, and data that the staff needs in its review of applications for permits and licenses. Revision 1 of Regulatory Guide 1.45, ‘‘Guidance on Monitoring and Responding to Reactor Coolant System Leakage,’’ was issued with a temporary identification as Draft Regulatory Guide DG–1173. General Design Criterion (GDC) 14, ‘‘Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary,’’ as set forth in Appendix A, ‘‘General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants,’’ to Title 10, Part 50, of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR part 50), ‘‘Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities,’’ requires that the reactor coolant pressure boundary (RCPB) shall be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested so as to have an extremely low probability of abnormal leakage, of rapidly propagating failure, and of gross rupture. As a result, these nuclear components are normally designed to the criteria established in Section III of VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:31 May 27, 2008 Jkt 214001 the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code promulgated by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. During the design phase, degradationresistant materials are normally specified for reactor coolant system (RCS) components. However, materials can degrade as a result of the complex interaction of the materials, the stresses they encounter, and the normal and upset operating environments in which they are used. Such material degradation could lead to the leakage of the reactor coolant. Consequently, GDC 30, ‘‘Quality of Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary,’’ of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50 requires that means shall be provided for detecting and, to the extent practical, identifying the location of the source of reactor coolant leakage. Additionally, 10 CFR 50.55a, ‘‘Codes and Standards,’’ requires the performance of inservice inspection and testing of nuclear power plant components. Thus, the concept of defense-in-depth is used to provide assurance that structural integrity of the RCPB is maintained. This guide describes methods that the staff of the NRC considers acceptable for implementing these requirements, with regard to selecting reactor coolant leakage detection systems, monitoring for leakage, and responding to leakage. This guide applies to light-water cooled reactors. II. Further Information In June 2007, DG–1173 was published with a public comment period of 60 days from the issuance of the guide. The public comment period closed on August 28, 2007. The staff’s responses to the public comments are located in the NRC’s Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS), Accession Number ML073200289. Electronic copies of Regulatory Guide 1.45, Revision 1 are available through the NRC’s public Web site under ‘‘Regulatory Guides’’ at https:// www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doccollections/. In addition, regulatory guides are available for inspection at the NRC’s Public Document Room (PDR), which is located at Room O–1F21, One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852–2738. The PDR’s mailing address is USNRC PDR, Washington, DC 20555–0001.

On April 4, 2008, the Exchange filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change. The proposed rule change, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, was published for comment in the Federal Register on April 15, 2008.3 On May 14, 2008, the Exchange filed Amendment No. 2 to the proposed rule change.4 The Commission received no comments regarding the proposal. This order approves the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment Nos. 1 and 2 thereto. II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change A. Proposed Listing Rules for Commodity Futures Trust Shares The Exchange proposes to adopt new NYSE Arca Equities Rule 8.204 to permit the listing and trading, or trading pursuant to UTP, of Commodity Futures Trust Shares. Proposed NYSE Arca Equities Rule 8.204(c) defines a Commodity Futures Trust Share as a security that: (1) Is issued by a trust that (a) is a commodity pool, as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act (‘‘CEA’’) and regulations thereunder, managed by a commodity pool operator registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (‘‘CFTC’’), and (b) holds positions in futures contracts 5 that track 3 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 57636 (April 8, 2008), 73 FR 20344 (‘‘Notice’’). 4 In Amendment No. 2, the Exchange made minor, non-substantive changes to incorporate cross-references to Trust Units under NYSE Arca Equities Rule 8.500: (1) in the list of securities for which the Core Trading Session (as defined herein) on the Exchange concludes at 4:15 p.m. Eastern Time (‘‘ET’’), as provided in NYSE Arca Equities Rule 7.34(a)(3); (2) in the definition of ‘‘Derivative Securities Product’’ as set forth in NYSE Arca Equities Rule 7.34(a)(4); and (3) in the list of securities included under the term ‘‘Derivative Securities Products’’ set forth in note 3 of the NYSE Arca Equities Schedule of Fees and Charges for Exchange Services.

In addition, the Exchange made clarifying changes to NYSE Arca Equities Rule 7.34(a) and the NYSE Arca Equities Schedule of Fees and Charges for Exchange Service to reflect the incorporation of cross-references to Managed Fund Shares under NYSE Arca Equities Rule 8.600 that was approved by the Commission subsequent to the date of the Notice.

Proposed NYSE Arca Equities Rule 8.204(d) provides that the Exchange may trade, either by listing or pursuant to UTP, Commodity Futures Trust Shares that are based on an underlying commodity futures contract. Each issue of Commodity Futures Trust Shares would be designated as a separate series and would be identified by a unique symbol. The criteria for listing and trading Commodity Futures Trust Shares are set forth in proposed NYSE Arca Equities Rule 8.204(e). Proposed NYSE Arca Equities Rule 8.204(e)(1) provides that the Exchange will establish a minimum number of Commodity Futures Trust Shares that will be required to be outstanding at the time of commencement of trading. The continued listing criteria in proposed NYSE Arca Equities Rule 8.204(e)(2) provide for the suspension of trading in, or removal from listing of, the Commodity Futures Trust Shares under any of the following circumstances: • If, following the initial 12-month period beginning upon the commencement of trading of the Shares: (1) The trust has fewer than 50,000 Shares issued and outstanding; (2) the market value of all Shares is less than $1,000,000; or (3) there are fewer than 50 record and/or beneficial holders of Commodity Futures Trust Shares for 30 consecutive trading days; • If the value of the underlying futures contract is no longer calculated or available on at least a 15-second delayed basis during the Exchange’s Core Trading Session, as defined in NYSE Arca Equities Rule 7.34(a), from a source unaffiliated with the sponsor, the trust, or the trustee; • If the NAV for the trust is no longer disseminated to all market participants at the same time; • If the Indicative Trust Value is no longer disseminated on at least a 15second delayed basis during the Exchange’s ‘‘Core Trading Session,’’ as defined in NYSE Arca Equities Rule 7.34(a); 6 or • If such other event shall occur or condition exists that, in the opinion of the Exchange, makes further dealings on the Exchange inadvisable. commodity for future delivery’’ set forth in Section 2(a) of the CEA; and (2) the term ‘‘commodity’’ is defined in Section 1(a)(4) of the CEA. 6 The Core Trading Session on the Exchange is from 9:30 a.m. to 4 or 4:15 p.m. ET.
