SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. 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), entitled, ‘‘Pressure-Sensitive and Tamper-Indicating Device Seals for Material Control and Accounting Use,’’ is temporarily identified by its task number, DG–5029, which should be mentioned in all related VerDate Nov<24>2008 15:29 Aug 12, 2009 Jkt 217001 SPECIAL ASSISTANT FOR FINANCIAL SYSTEMS.

The NRC requires certain licensees to use tamperindicating devices (TIDs) for material control and accounting (MC&A) and for physical security of special nuclear material (SNM). Title 10, part 70, ‘‘Domestic Licensing of Special Nuclear Material,’’ of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR part 70) requires, in part, that no person subject to the regulations in 10 CFR part 70 may receive title to, own, acquire, deliver, receive, possess, use, or transfer SNM, except as authorized in a license issued by the NRC. This regulatory guide (RG) replaces the existing RG 5.10, ‘‘Selection and Use of Pressure-Sensitive Seals on Containers for Onsite Storage of Special Nuclear Material,’’ issued July 1973 and the existing RG 5.15, ‘‘TamperIndicating Seals for the Protection and Control of Special Nuclear Material,’’ issued March 1997, with a new title, ‘‘Pressure-Sensitive and TamperIndicating Device Seals for MC&A Use.’’ RG 5.10 refers to a pressure-sensitive (PS) seal that is no longer in general use and may no longer be commercially available. RG 5.15 refers to tamperindicating devices (TID) including PS seals. As a replacement, this guide describes a number of improved TIDs and PS seals developed in recent years primarily in response to commercial interests outside the nuclear industry. II. Further Information The NRC staff is soliciting comments on DG–5029. Comments may be accompanied by relevant information or supporting data and should mention DG–5029 in the subject line.

Introduction By letters dated November 6, 2008, and July 8, 2009, the U.S. Army Installation Command submitted a Source Material License application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), for the Schofield Barracks and Pohakuloa Training Area (PTA) sites in Oahu and the Island of Hawaii, Hawaii. This license application is for possession of depleted uranium (DU) due to the potential for residual DU to be at various Army Installations where testing of the M101 Spotting Round has occurred. An NRC administrative review, documented in a letter to the U.S. Army Installation Command dated August 3, 2009, found the generic and site specific security and environmental radiation monitoring plans submitted by the applicant acceptable to begin a technical and environmental review. Before approving the license application, the NRC will need to make the findings required by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and the NRC’s regulations. These findings will be documented in a Safety Evaluation Report (SER) and a site-specific Environmental Review consistent with the provisions of 10 CFR Part 51. II. Opportunity To Request a Hearing The NRC hereby provides notice that this is a proceeding on an application for a source material license submitted by the U.S. Army Installation Command to possess depleted uranium at the Schofield Barracks and PTA sites in Oahu and the Island of Hawaii, Hawaii. Any person whose interest may be affected by this proceeding and who desires to participate as a party must file a request for a hearing and a specification of the contentions which the person seeks to have litigated in the hearing in accordance with the NRC EFiling rule, which the NRC promulgated on August 28, 2007 (72 FR 49139). All documents filed in NRC adjudicatory proceedings, including documents filed by interested governmental entities participating under 10 CFR 2.315(c) and any motion or other document filed in the proceeding prior to the submission of a request for hearing or petition to intervene, must be filed in accordance with the E-Filing rule. The E-Filing rule requires participants to submit and serve all adjudicatory documents over the Internet or, in some cases, to mail copies on electronic storage media. Participants may not submit paper copies of their filings unless they seek a waiver in accordance with the procedures described below. PO 00000 Frm 00049 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 40855 To comply with the procedural requirements of E-Filing, at least ten (10) days prior to the filing deadline, the petitioner/requestor should contact the Office of the Secretary by e-mail at HEARING.DOCKET@NRC.GOV, or by calling (301) 415–1677, to request: (1) A digital ID certificate, which allows the participant (or its counsel or representative) to digitally sign documents and access the E-Submittal server for any proceeding in which it is participating; and/or (2) creation of an electronic docket for the proceeding (even in instances in which the petitioner/requestor (or its counsel or representative) already holds an NRCissued digital ID certificate). Each petitioner/requestor will need to download the Workplace Forms ViewerTM to access the Electronic Information Exchange (EIE), a component of the E-Filing system. The Workplace Forms ViewerTM is free and is available at https://www.nrc.gov/sitehelp/e-submittals/install-viewer.html. Information about applying for a digital ID certificate is available on NRC’s public Web site at https://www.nrc.gov/ site-help/e-submittals/applycertificates.html. Once a petitioner/requestor has obtained a digital ID certificate, had a docket created, and downloaded the EIE viewer, it can then submit a request for hearing or petition for leave to intervene. Submissions should be in Portable Document Format (PDF) in accordance with NRC guidance available on the NRC public Web site at https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html. A filing is considered complete at the time the filer submits its documents through EIE. To be timely, an electronic filing must be submitted to the EIE system no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Upon receipt of a transmission, the E-Filing system time-stamps the document and sends the submitter an e-mail notice confirming receipt of the document. The EIE system also distributes an e-mail notice that provides access to the document to the NRC Office of the General Counsel and any others who have advised the Office of the Secretary that they wish to participate in the proceeding, so that the filer need not serve the documents on those participants separately. Therefore, applicants and other participants (or their counsel or representative) must apply for and receive a digital ID certificate before a hearing request/ petition to intervene is filed so that they can obtain access to the document via the E-Filing system.

DG-5029, ``Pressure-Sensitive and Tamper-Indicating Device Seals for 
Material Control and Accounting Use.''

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. 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), entitled, ``Pressure-Sensitive and 
Tamper-Indicating Device Seals for Material Control and Accounting 
Use,'' is temporarily identified by its task number, DG-5029, which 
should be mentioned in all related correspondence. The NRC requires 
certain licensees to use tamper-indicating devices (TIDs) for material 
control and accounting (MC&A) and for physical security of special 
nuclear material (SNM). Title 10, part 70, ``Domestic Licensing of 
Special Nuclear Material,'' of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 
part 70) requires, in part, that no person subject to the regulations 
in 10 CFR part 70 may receive title to, own, acquire, deliver, receive, 
possess, use, or transfer SNM, except as authorized in a license issued 
by the NRC.
    This regulatory guide (RG) replaces the existing RG 5.10, 
``Selection and Use of Pressure-Sensitive Seals on Containers for 
Onsite Storage of Special Nuclear Material,'' issued July 1973 and the 
existing RG 5.15, ``Tamper-Indicating Seals for the Protection and 
Control of Special Nuclear Material,'' issued March 1997, with a new 
title, ``Pressure-Sensitive and Tamper-Indicating Device Seals for MC&A 
Use.'' RG 5.10 refers to a pressure-sensitive (PS) seal that is no 
longer in general use and may no longer be commercially available. RG 
5.15 refers to tamper-indicating devices (TID) including PS seals. As a 
replacement, this guide describes a number of improved TIDs and PS 
seals developed in recent years primarily in response to commercial 
interests outside the nuclear industry.
