Cook Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1. The petitioner requests that the NRC issue a demand for information requiring the licensee to docket information regarding the following four issues at least 30 days before restarting the reactor from the current outage: (1) The vibration levels experienced in the control room, turbine building, and other structures during the September 20, 2008, event; (2) The vibration levels assumed in these locations during the safeshutdown earthquake (SSE); (3) In locations where the vibration levels during the September 20, 2008, event exceeded the vibration levels assumed for an SSE, the extent to which piping and pipe supports were replaced or repaired because of potential stress damage and the bases for not replacing other structures, systems, and components exposed to greater than SSE loading; and (4) In locations where the vibration levels during the September 20, 2008, event did not exceed the vibration levels assumed for an SSE, the extent of the measures taken to protect against spurious equipment operation and the bases for concluding that the as-left configuration will not pose a public health hazard in event of an SSE. As the basis for this request, the petitioner states that the event caused significant vibration levels that caused spurious operation of standby equipment and may have contributed to a breach that seriously impaired the fire protection system. The petitioner further states that the information being sought in the petition is needed to apply the proper lessons from the event to the future operation of the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant, Unit 1. The petitioner states that without this information, the NRC cannot be assured of, and the public is therefore not adequately protected from, significant adverse safety implications of an SSE causing spurious actuation of equipment. The NRC is treating the request pursuant to Title 10, Section 2.206, ‘‘Requests for Action under This Subpart,’’ of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 2.206). The request has been referred to the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. As provided by 10 CFR 2.206, the NRC will take appropriate action on this petition within a reasonable time.

ACTION: Notice; correction. SUMMARY: The United States Trade Representative (USTR) published a document in the Federal Register of August 4, 2006, concerning a determination under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) in respect of Burkina Faso. The document did not expressly include a modification to list Burkina Faso in note 2(d) to Subchapter XIX of chapter 98 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elizabeth Baltzan, Office of the General Counsel, Office of the United States Trade Representative, (202) 395–3582. Correction In the Federal Register Notice of August 4, 2006, the USTR determined that Burkina Faso had met certain customs requirements under the AGOA. President Bush had by Proclamation 7853 previously designated Burkina Faso as a lesser developed beneficiary country for purposes of what was then Section 112(b)(3)(B) of the AGOA. U.S. Note 2(d) to Subchapter XIX of chapter 98 of the HTSUS provides that countries qualifying for designation as a lesser developed beneficiary country shall be enumerated therein. The Federal Register notice reflecting the USTR’s VerDate Nov<24>2008 15:38 Mar 13, 2009 Jkt 217001 determination in respect of Burkina Faso did not expressly modify that Note to include Burkina Faso. Accordingly, Note 2(d) to subchapter XIX of chapter 98 of the HTSUS is modified by inserting ‘‘Burkina Faso’’ in alphabetical sequence in the list of countries. Peter F. Allgeier, Acting United States Trade Representative. [FR Doc.

Indiana Michigan Power Company; Receipt of Request for Action 
Under 10 CFR 2.206

    Notice is hereby given that by petition dated December 16, 2008, 
Mr. David Lochbaum (petitioner) has requested that the U.S. Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission (NRC) take action with regard to the licensee for 
the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1. The petitioner requests 
that the NRC issue a demand for information requiring the licensee to 
docket information regarding the following four issues at least 30 days 
before restarting the reactor from the current outage:
    (1) The vibration levels experienced in the control room, turbine 
building, and other structures during the September 20, 2008, event;
    (2) The vibration levels assumed in these locations during the 
safe-shutdown earthquake (SSE);
    (3) In locations where the vibration levels during the September 
20, 2008, event exceeded the vibration levels assumed for an SSE, the 
extent to which piping and pipe supports were replaced or repaired 
because of potential stress damage and the bases for not replacing 
other structures, systems, and components exposed to greater than SSE 
loading; and
    (4) In locations where the vibration levels during the September 
20, 2008, event did not exceed the vibration levels assumed for an SSE, 
the extent of the measures taken to protect against spurious equipment 
operation and the bases for concluding that the as-left configuration 
will not pose a public health hazard in event of an SSE.
    As the basis for this request, the petitioner states that the event 
caused significant vibration levels that caused spurious operation of 
standby equipment and may have contributed to a breach that seriously 
impaired the fire protection system. The petitioner further states that 
the information being sought in the petition is needed to apply the 
proper lessons from the event to the future operation of the Donald C. 
Cook Nuclear Plant, Unit 1. The petitioner states that without this 
information, the NRC cannot be assured of, and the public is therefore 
not adequately protected from, significant adverse safety implications 
of an SSE causing spurious actuation of equipment.
    The NRC is treating the request pursuant to Title 10, Section 
2.206, ``Requests for Action under This Subpart,'' of the Code of 
Federal Regulations (10 CFR 2.206). The request has been referred to 
the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. As provided 
by 10 CFR 2.206, the NRC will take appropriate action on this petition 
within a reasonable time. A copy of the petition is available for
