SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is issuing a new
regulatory guide and withdrawing an
outdated regulatory guide in the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.
Regulatory Guide 1.131,
‘‘Qualification Tests of Electric Cables,
Field Splices, and Connections for
Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Power
Plants,’’ was issued for comment in
August 1977 and never finalized.
Regulatory Guide 1.131 is being
withdrawn because its guidance has
been replaced by the guidance in
Regulatory Guide 1.211.
Regulatory Guide 1.211,
‘‘Qualification of Safety-Related Cables
and Field Splices for Nuclear Power
Plants,’’ was issued with a temporary
identification as Draft Regulatory Guide
1132. This guide describes a method
that the staff of the NRC considers
acceptable for use in complying with
the Commission’s regulations for the
qualification of safety-related cables and
field splices for nuclear power plants.
The regulations established by the
NRC in Title 10, Part 50, ‘‘Domestic
Licensing of Production and Utilization
Facilities,’’ of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR Part 50) require
that structures, systems, and
components that are important to safety
in a nuclear power plant must be
designed to accommodate the effects of
environmental conditions (i.e., remain
functional under postulated designbasis events (DBEs)). Toward that end,
General Design Criterion (GDC) 1,
‘‘Quality Standards and Records,’’ GDC
2, ‘‘Design Bases for Protection Against
Natural Phenomena,’’ GDC 4,
‘‘Environmental and Dynamic Effects
Design Bases,’’ and GDC 23, ‘‘Protection
System Failure Modes,’’ of Appendix A,
‘‘General Design Criteria for Nuclear
Power Plants,’’ to 10 CFR Part 50
contain the general requirements.
Augmenting those general requirements,
the specific requirements pertaining to
the qualification of certain electrical
equipment important to safety appear in
10 CFR 50.49, ‘‘Environmental
Qualification of Electric Equipment
PO 00000
Frm 00062
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Important to Safety for Nuclear Power
Plants.’’ In addition, Criterion III,
‘‘Design Control,’’ of Appendix B,
‘‘Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear
Power Plants,’’ to 10 CFR Part 50
requires that, where a test program is
used to verify the adequacy of a specific
design feature, the test program must
include suitable qualification testing of
a prototype unit under the most severe
DBE.
II. Further Information
In June 2007, DG–1132 was published
with a public comment period of 60
days from the issuance of the guide. The
public comment period closed on
September 14, 2007. The staff’s
responses to the public comments are
located in the NRC’s Agencywide
Documents Access and Management
System (ADAMS), Accession Number
ML081690227. Electronic copies of
Regulatory Guide 1.211 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. The PDR
can also be reached by telephone at
(301) 415–4737 or (800) 397–4209, by
fax at (301) 415–3548, and by e-mail to
pdr.resource@nrc.gov.
Regulatory guides are not
copyrighted, and NRC approval is not
required to reproduce them.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 13th day
of April 2009.

Facility Operating License No. DPR–16
to Exelon Generation Company, LLC
(the licensee), the operator of the Oyster
Creek Nuclear Generating Station
(OCNGS). Renewed facility operating
license No. DPR–16 authorizes
operation of OCNGS by the licensee at
reactor core power levels not in excess
of 1930 megawatts thermal, in
accordance with the provisions of the
OCNGS renewed license and its
technical specifications.
The notice also serves as the record of
decision for the renewal of Facility
Operating License No. DPR–16,
consistent with Title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Section
51.103 ‘‘Record of Decision—General.’’
As discussed in the final Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement
(FSEIS) for OCNGS, dated January 2007,
the Commission has considered a range
of reasonable alternatives that included
generation from oil, wind, solar,
hydropower, geothermal, wood waste,
municipal solid waste, other biomassderived fuels, fuel cells, delayed
retirement, conservation measures and,
tidal and ocean energy. The factors
considered in the record of decision can
be found in the supplemental
environmental impact statement for
OCNGS.
OCNGS is a boiling water reactor
located in Lacey Township, Ocean
County, New Jersey, approximately two
miles south of the community of Forked
River. OCNGS was operated by
AmerGen Energy Company, LLC, until
January 9, 2009, when the license was
transferred to Exelon Generation
Company, LLC (74 FR 4777), in
accordance with Section 184 of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended,
and 10 CFR Section 50.80, ‘‘Transfer of
Licenses.’’ The application for the
renewed license complied with the
standards and requirements of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (the Act), as
amended, and the Commission’s
regulations. As required by the Act and
the Commission’s regulations in 10 CFR
Chapter I, the Commission has made
appropriate findings, which are set forth
in the license. Prior public notice of the
action involving the proposed issuance
of the renewed license and of an
opportunity for a hearing regarding the
proposed issuance of the renewed
license was published in the Federal
Register on September 15, 2005 (70 FR
54585).

the Postal Service filed a Notice of
Errata to United States Postal Service
Notice of Changes in Rates of General
Applicability for Competitive Products

Pickup on Demand service for certain
competitive products. The Postal
Service states that the price change from
$14.75 to $15.30 for Pickup on Demand
