Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide 3.52, ‘‘Standard Format and Content for the Health and Safety Sections of License Renewal Applications for Uranium Processing and Fuel Fabrication,’’ was issued with a temporary identification as Draft Regulatory Guide, DG–3031. This guide directs the reader to the type of information acceptable to the NRC in its evaluation and verification of the safety basis for the licensing of special nuclear material (SNM). It references the application of NUREG–1520, ‘‘Standard Review Plan for the Review of a License Application for a Fuel Cycle Facility,’’ issued March 2002, to the format and content of license renewal applications for fuel cycle facilities. The regulatory framework that the NRC has established for procedures and criteria for the licensing of SNM is set forth in Title 10, Part 70, ‘‘Domestic Licensing of Special Nuclear Material,’’ of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR part 70). In 10 CFR 70.73, ‘‘Renewal of Licenses,’’ the regulations specify that applications for license renewal (including licenses for enriched uranium processing, fuel fabrication, uranium enrichment, enriched uranium hexafluoride conversion, plutonium processing, fabrication of mixed-oxide fuel, and scrap recovery of SNM) must be filed in accordance with 10 CFR 2.109, ‘‘Effect of Timely Renewal Application;’’ 10 CFR 70.21, ‘‘Filing;’’ 10 CFR 70.22, ‘‘Contents of Applications;’’ 10 CFR 70.33, ‘‘Renewal of Licenses;’’ 10 CFR 70.38, ‘‘Expiration and Termination of Licenses and Decommissioning of Sites and Separate Buildings or Outdoor Areas;’’ and 10 CFR 70.65, ‘‘Additional Content of Applications.’’ PWALKER on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES II. Further Information In September 2008, DG–3031 was published with a public comment period of 60 days from the issuance of the guide. The public comment period closed on November 10, 2008. The staff’s responses to the comments received are located in NRC’s Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) under accession number ML091050072. Electronic copies of Regulatory Guide 3.52, Revision 2 are available through the NRC’s public Web site under ‘‘Regulatory Guides’’ at https:// www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doccollections/.

E9–13019 Filed 6–1–09; 11:15 am] BILLING CODE 7590–01–P NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION [NRC–2009–0142] State of New Jersey: NRC Staff Assessment of a Proposed Agreement Between the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the State of New Jersey PWALKER on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission. ACTION: Notice of a proposed Agreement with the State of New Jersey. SUMMARY: By letter dated October 16, 2008, Governor Jon S. Corzine of New Jersey requested that the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) enter into an Agreement with the State of New Jersey (State or New Jersey) as authorized by Section 274 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (Act). Under the proposed Agreement, the Commission would relinquish, and the State would assume, portions of the Commission’s regulatory authority exercised within the State. As required by the Act, the NRC is publishing the proposed Agreement for public comment. The NRC is also publishing the summary of an assessment by the NRC staff of the State’s regulatory VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:08 Jun 02, 2009 Jkt 217001 program. Comments are requested on the proposed Agreement, especially its effect on public health and safety. Comments are also requested on the NRC staff assessment, the adequacy of the State’s program, and the State’s program staff, as discussed in this notice. The proposed Agreement would exempt persons who possess or use certain radioactive materials in the State from portions of the Commission’s regulatory authority. The Act requires that the NRC publish those exemptions. Notice is hereby given that the pertinent exemptions have been previously published in the Federal Register and are codified in the Commission’s regulations as 10 CFR Part 150. DATES: The comment period ends June 26, 2009. Comments received after this date will be considered if it is practical to do so, but the Commission cannot assure consideration of comments received after the comment period ends. Written comments may be submitted to Mr. Michael T. Lesar, Chief, Rulemaking and Directives Branch, MS TWB–05–B01M, Division of Administrative Services, Office of Administration, Washington, DC 20555– 0001. Members of the public are invited and encouraged to submit comments electronically to https:// www.regulations.gov. Search on Docket ID: [NRC–2009–0142] and follow the instructions for submitting comments. The NRC maintains an Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS), which provides text and image files of NRC’s public documents. The documents may be accessed through the NRC’s Public Electronic Reading Room on the Internet at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/ adams.html. If you do not have access to ADAMS or if there are problems in accessing the documents located in ADAMS, contact the NRC Public Document Room (PDR) reference staff at (800) 397–4209, or (301) 415–4737, or by e-mail to pdr.resource@nrc.gov. Copies of comments received by NRC may be examined at the NRC Public Document Room, 11555 Rockville Pike, Public File Area O–1–F21, Rockville, Maryland. Copies of the request for an Agreement by the Governor of New Jersey including all information and documentation submitted in support of the request, and copies of the full text of the NRC Draft Staff Assessment are also available for public inspection in the NRC’s Public Document RoomADAMS Accession Numbers: ML090510713, ML090510708, ML090510709, ML090510710, ADDRESSES: PO 00000 Frm 00092 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 26739 ML090510711, ML090510712, ML090770116, and ML091400097. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Torre Taylor, Office of Federal and State Materials and Environmental Management Programs, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555–0001. Telephone (301) 415– 7900 or e-mail to torre.taylor@nrc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Since Section 274 of the Act was added in 1959, the Commission has entered into Agreements with 36 States. The Agreement States currently regulate approximately 19,000 Agreement material licenses, while the NRC regulates approximately 3,400 licenses. Under the proposed Agreement, approximately 500 NRC licenses will transfer to the State. The NRC periodically reviews the performance of the Agreement States to assure compliance with the provisions of Section 274. Section 274e requires that the terms of the proposed Agreement be published in the Federal Register for public comment once each week for four consecutive weeks. This notice is being published in fulfillment of that requirement. I. Background (a) Section 274b of the Act provides the mechanism for a State to assume regulatory authority from the NRC over certain radioactive materials and activities that involve use of the materials. The radioactive materials, sometimes referred to as ‘‘Agreement materials,’’ are: (a) Byproduct materials as defined in Section 11e.(1) of the Act; (b) byproduct materials as defined in Section 11e.(2) of the Act; (c) byproduct materials as defined in Section 11e.(3) of the Act; (d) byproduct materials as defined in Section 11e.(4) of the Act; (e) source materials; and (f) special nuclear materials, restricted to quantities not sufficient to form a critical mass. In a letter dated October 16, 2008, Governor Corzine certified that the State of New Jersey has a program for the control of radiation hazards that is adequate to protect public health and safety within New Jersey for the materials and activities specified in the proposed Agreement, and that the State desires to assume regulatory responsibility for these materials and activities. Included with the letter was the text of the proposed Agreement, which is shown in Appendix A to this notice. The radioactive materials and activities (which together are usually referred to as the ‘‘categories of materials’’) that the State requests authority over are: E:\FR\FM\03JNN1.SGM 03JNN1
