The regulations establish such a permit system to designate Antarctic Specially Protected Areas. VerDate Nov<24>2008 17:23 Jul 07, 2009 Jkt 217001 Description of Permit Modification Requested: The Foundation issued a permit (2008–016) to Dr. Robert A. Garrott on October 1, 2007. The issued permit allows the applicant to census, tag, weigh, and collect blood and tissue samples of Weddell seals and instrument mammals (Antarctic Fur, Leopard, Southern Elephant, Ross, Weddell and Crabeater seals) and seabirds (Chinstrap and Gentoo penguins, Cape Petrels, Giant Petrels, Brown Skuas, South Pole Skuas, Sheathbills, Kelp gulls, and Blue-eyed Shag). The applicant requests a modification to his permit to temporarily attach temperature logger tags on Weddell pups to determine how much time the mothers spend in the water teaching their pups to swim, forage, and evade aggressive encounters with other seals. The data would also reveal how much time the pups spend in the water which may influence their weight when weaned and their ultimate probability of survival once weaned. Location: Ross Sea and McMurdo Sound. Dates: October 1, 2009 to February 28, 2012. Nadene G. Kennedy, Permit Officer, Office of Polar Programs. [FR Doc.

Introduction The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing for public comment a draft guide in the agency’s ‘‘Regulatory Guide’’ series. This series was developed to describe and make available to the public such information as methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific parts of the NRC’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. The draft regulatory guide (DG), titled, ‘‘Containment Isolation Provisions for Fluid Systems),’’ is temporarily identified by its task number, DG–1213, which should be mentioned in all related correspondence. DG–1213 is proposed Revision 1 of Regulatory Guide 1.141. DG–1213 describes updated methods that the NRC staff considers acceptable for use in complying with the Commission’s requirements for containment isolation of fluid systems. Title 10, of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50, ‘‘Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities’’ (10 CFR Part 50), Appendix A, ‘‘General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants,’’ General Design Criteria (GDC) 54, 55, 56, and 57 establishes that piping systems that penetrate the primary reactor containment be provided with isolation capabilities that reflect the importance to safety of isolating these piping systems. II. Further Information The NRC staff is soliciting comments on DG–1213. Comments may be accompanied by relevant information or supporting data and should mention DG–1213 in the subject line.
