The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

granted the request of Entergy Nuclear
Operations, Inc. (the licensee) to
withdraw its March 13, 2007,

Facility Operating License No. DPR–26
for Indian Point Nuclear Generating
Unit No. 2 and Facility Operating
License No. DPR–64 for Indian Point
Nuclear Generating Unit No. 3, located

The proposed amendments would
have revised the fire protection license

licenses.
The Commission had previously
issued a Notice of Consideration of
Issuance of Amendment published in
the Federal Register on April 10, 2007

proposed change.

amendment dated March 13, 2007, and
the licensee’s letter dated May 6, 2008,
which withdrew the application for a
license amendment. Documents may be
examined, and/or copied for a fee, at the
NRC’s Public Document Room (PDR),
located at One White Flint North, Public

Public Availability of Fiscal Year 2007
Agency Inventories Under the Federal
Activities Inventory Reform Act
Office of Management and
Budget, Executive Office of the
President.
AGENCY:
34349
Notice of Public Availability of
Agency Inventory of Activities That Are
Not Inherently Governmental and of
Activities That Are Inherently
Governmental.
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Federal Activities
Inventory Reform (FAIR) Act, Public
Law 105–270, requires agencies to
develop inventories each year of
activities performed by their employees
that are not inherently governmental—
i.e., inventories of commercial activities.
The FAIR Act further requires OMB to
review the inventories in consultation
with the agencies and publish a notice
of public availability in the Federal
Register after the consultation process is
completed. In accordance with the FAIR
Act, OMB is publishing this notice to
announce the availability of inventories
from the agencies listed below. These
inventories identify both commercial
activities and activities that are
inherently governmental.
This is the first release of the FAIR
Act inventories for FY 2007. Interested
parties who disagree with the agency’s
initial judgment may present a
challenge to the agency regarding the
inclusion or the omission of an activity
on the list of activities that are not
inherently governmental within 30
working days and, if not satisfied with
this review, may appeal to a higher level
within the agency.
The Office of Federal Procurement
Policy has made available a FAIR Act
User’s Guide through its Internet site:
https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/
procurement/fair-index.html. This
User’s Guide will help interested parties
review FY 2007 FAIR Act inventories.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: USTR is
providing notice that the United States
has requested consultations with the EC
and its member States pursuant to the
DSU. If such consultations should fail to
resolve the matter and a dispute
settlement panel is established pursuant
to the DSU, such panel, which would
hold its meetings in Geneva,
Switzerland, would be expected to issue
a report on its findings and
recommendations within nine months
after it is established.
Major Issues Raised by the United
States
On May 28, 2008, the United States
requested consultations with the EC and
its member States regarding the tariff
treatment the EC and its member States
accord to set-top boxes with a
communication function, flat panel
displays, ‘‘input or output units,’’ and
facsimile machines.
• Set-top boxes with a
communication function. On May 7,
2008, the EC published an amendment
to the Explanatory Notes to the EC’s
Combined Nomenclature (CN), which
provides that the duty-free heading CN
8528 71 13 (‘‘set-top boxes with a
PO 00000
Frm 00105
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
communication function’’) no longer
includes set-top boxes with modems of
certain types (e.g., Ethernet modems) or
set-top boxes which ‘‘incorporate a
device performing a recording or
reproducing function (for example, a
hard disk or DVD drive).’’ As a result of
this exclusion, the EC and its member
States impose a duty on these set-top
boxes. In addition, the EC added an
explanatory note to CN 8521 90 00
indicating that the subheading includes
set-top boxes ‘‘which incorporate a
device performing a recording or
reproducing function (for example, a
hard disk or DVD drive).’’ Products
classified in CN 8521 90 00 are subject
to an MFN duty of 13.9%.
• Flat panel displays (including LCD,
electro luminescence, plasma and other
technologies). On March 31, 2005, the
EC published Council Regulation (EC)
No. 493/2005, stating that certain flat
panel displays using LCD technology
that are ‘‘capable of reproducing video
images from a source other than an
automatic data-processing machine’’ are
not covered by the Information
Technology Agreement (ITA) or by the
Communication on its implementation
(Council Decision 97/359/EC of 24
March 1997). On April 26, 2005, the EC
issued Commission Regulation (EC) No.
634/2005, stating that flat panel displays
with certain attributes, including DVI,
would be classified in a dutiable tariff
line. On December 29, 2005, the EC
published Commission Regulation (EC)
No. 2171/2005, which also provided
that certain flat panel displays would be
classified in a dutiable tariff line if they
had certain attributes, including DVI.
On December 30, 2006, the EC
published amendments to the
Explanatory Notes to accompany CN
