ACTION: Final rule; correcting
amendments.
AGENCY:
The Department of Energy
(DOE) corrects two errors in its
Occupational Radiation Protection
regulations. One error originated in a
final rulemaking (FR Doc. 98–27366),
which was published in the Federal
Register of Wednesday, November 4,
1998 (63 FR 59661). The second error
originated in a final rulemaking (FR
Doc. E7–10477), which was published
in the Federal Register of Friday, June
8, 2007 (72 FR 31903).
DATES: Effective Date: April 21, 2009.

SUMMARY:
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with RULES
Background
DOE first published title 10, Code of
Federal Regulations, part 835,
Occupational Radiation Protection (part
835), as a final rule on December 14,
1993. In the November 4, 1998,
amendment to part 835, DOE, in part,
revised footnote 1 to appendix D. The
revised footnote references an exception
noted in footnote 5. The exception is
actually found in footnote 6. When DOE
proposed amending part 835 on August
10, 2006, DOE proposed correcting this
error; however, in the final rule
amending part 835 on June 8, 2007, the
correction was not made. Accordingly,
footnote 1 needs to be revised to
reference the exception in footnote 6.
When DOE proposed amending part
835 on August 10, 2006, DOE proposed
revising the definition of ‘‘absorbed

surface contamination by both alpha- and

limits established for alpha- and beta-gammaemitting nuclides apply independently.

dose’’ to read: ‘‘Absorbed dose (D)
means the average energy absorbed by
matter from ionizing radiation per unit
mass of irradiated material. The
absorbed dose is expressed in units of
rad (or gray) (1 rad = 0.01 gray).’’ During
the public comment period, a comment
was received that the definition should
be changed from ‘‘energy absorbed by
matter’’ to ‘‘energy imparted.’’ As noted
in the preamble to the June 8, 2007,
amendment, DOE agreed with the
comment and revised the definition to
read: ‘‘Absorbed dose (D) means the
average energy imparted by ionizing
radiation to the matter in a volume
element. The absorbed dose is expressed
in units of rad (or gray) (1 rad = 0.01
gray).’’ In making this revision, the
phrase ‘‘per unit mass of irradiated
material’’ was inadvertently deleted
from the end of the first sentence.
Need for Corrections
This correction revises the definition
of ‘‘absorbed dose’’ and changes the
reference to footnote 6 in footnote 1 of
appendix D to part 835.
2. Section 145.14 is amended by
revising the section heading to read as

Airworthiness Directives; PILATUS

AGENCY: Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: We are adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This AD results
from mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI)
issued by an aviation authority of
another country to identify and correct
an unsafe condition on an aviation
product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as:
This Airworthiness Directive (AD) is
prompted by some occurrences where the
Deice Pressure Regulator has vented too
much hot air into the forward compartment
damaging the oxygen cylinder ON/OFF cable,
the Ram-Air Scoop cable and the
Environmental Control System (ECS) firewall
shut-off valve cable.
If incorrectly adjusted, or defective, the
Deice Pressure Regulator can vent hot air into
the forward compartment. This situation can
cause overheating and failures of components
located inside the forward compartment,
which could result in potential loss of several
functions essential for safe flight.
We are issuing this AD to require
actions to correct the unsafe condition
on these products.
DATES: This AD becomes effective May
26, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
DOE first published title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, part
835, Occupational Radiation Protection (part 835), as a final rule on
December 14, 1993. In the November 4, 1998, amendment to part 835, DOE,
in part, revised footnote 1 to appendix D. The revised footnote
references an exception noted in footnote 5. The exception is actually
found in footnote 6. When DOE proposed amending part 835 on August 10,
2006, DOE proposed correcting this error; however, in the final rule
amending part 835 on June 8, 2007, the correction was not made.
Accordingly, footnote 1 needs to be revised to reference the exception
in footnote 6.
When DOE proposed amending part 835 on August 10, 2006, DOE
proposed revising the definition of ``absorbed dose'' to read:
``Absorbed dose (D) means the average energy absorbed by matter from
ionizing radiation per unit mass of irradiated material. The absorbed
dose is expressed in units of rad (or gray) (1 rad = 0.01 gray).''
During the public comment period, a comment was received that the
definition should be changed from ``energy absorbed by matter'' to
``energy imparted.'' As noted in the preamble to the June 8, 2007,
amendment, DOE agreed with the comment and revised the definition to
read: ``Absorbed dose (D) means the average energy imparted by ionizing
radiation to the matter in a volume element. The absorbed dose is
expressed in units of rad (or gray) (1 rad = 0.01 gray).'' In making
this revision, the phrase ``per unit mass of irradiated material'' was
inadvertently deleted from the end of the first sentence.
Need for Corrections
This correction revises the definition of ``absorbed dose'' and
changes the reference to footnote 6 in footnote 1 of appendix D to part
835.
