distributor should report shipments of
‘‘larger’’ quantities to appropriate
regulatory agencies. The same
commenter also suggested that the 15pound limit should potentially be
reduced to a lower limit that was more
appropriate for use under a general
license. Two commenters provided
additional examples of cases when the
use of source material under the general
license could have resulted in exposures
in excess of the limits specified in 10
CFR Part 20.
Reasons for Closure of the Petition
erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with PROPOSALS-1
Although the NRC is not aware of
widespread issues with the current
general license requirements in 10 CFR
40.22, the NRC has collected and
evaluated data on practices allowed
under the general license which
indicate that it may be possible in
certain situations for exposures to occur
when the requirements in 10 CFR Parts
19 and 20 would normally apply. The
NRC concluded that the underlying
issue of re-evaluating the safety
significance of granting exemption for
source material general licenses from 10
CFR Parts 19 and 20 is an important one
and merits further consideration
through rulemaking. The NRC will
continue consideration of this issue as
part of a proposed rulemaking on
‘‘Distribution of Source Material to
Exempt Persons and General Licensees
and Revision of 10 CFR 40.22 General
License (Part 40),’’ RIN 3150–AH15.
Further information on the rulemaking
may be tracked through https://
www.regulations.gov under Docket ID
NRC–2009–0084.
Although the NRC will continue to
consider the issues raised by the
petition in the rulemaking process, the
petitioners’ concerns may not be
addressed exactly as the petitioners
have requested. During the rulemaking
process, the NRC will solicit comments
from the public and will consider all
comments before finalizing the rule.
For the reasons cited in this
document, the NRC closes the docket for
PRM–40–27.

11–2A, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
Distribution System, which describes
the application procedure.
Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that
section, the FAA is charged with
prescribing regulations to assign the use
of airspace necessary to ensure the
safety of aircraft and the efficient use of
airspace. This regulation is within the
scope of that authority as it would add
additional controlled airspace to the
Altus, OK airspace area.
The Proposal
This action proposes to amend Title
14, Code of Federal Regulations (14
CFR), part 71 by adding additional
controlled Class E airspace in the Altus,
OK airspace area. Specifically, that
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface for SIAPs
operations at Altus/Quartz Mountain
Regional Airport, Altus, OK.
Class E airspace areas are published
in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9S, dated October 3, 2008, and
effective October 31, 2008, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class E airspace designation
listed in this document would be
published subsequently in the Order.
The FAA has determined that this
proposed regulation only involves an
established body of technical
regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to
keep them operationally current. It,
therefore, (1) is not a ‘‘significant
regulatory action’’ under Executive
Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant
rule’’ under DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February
26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant
preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal.
Since this is a routine matter that will
only affect air traffic procedures and air
navigation, it is certified that this rule,
when promulgated, will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act. The FAA’s authority to
issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code.
Subtitle 1, Section 106 describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator.
Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the
agency’s authority. This rulemaking is
promulgated under the authority

ACTION: Advance notice of proposed
rulemaking; request for comments.
SUMMARY: In an effort toward greater
transparency and to ensure integrity in
public investments, FTA today
publishes an advance notice of
proposed rulemaking on capital project
management. The Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) is considering a
revision of its Project Management
Oversight (PMO) rule, shifting its focus
from project oversight only to project
management and oversight. A revised
Part would more clearly identify
necessary project management skills
needed to be demonstrated by project
sponsors for all fixed guideway capital
projects, as well as additional
requirements that would apply only to
the more complex major capital
projects, and distinguish project
characteristics that would require
documentation of project plans and
implementation strategies in a project
management plan, as well as the use of
FTA’s Project Management Oversight
Contractors (PMOCs). Beginning the
rulemaking process to update its project
management rule will aid some key
agency priorities. It will help ensure
integrity and accountability in its
construction grant programs, and it will
provide data the agency can use in its

In this Advance Notice of Proposed

of revising its Project Management
Oversight rule at 49 CFR Part 633. The
end result would be a Project

major capital projects, emphasizing a set
of standards and principles for sound
project management. Specifically, FTA
seeks to restructure the current Part 633
to incorporate the best practices in the
transit industry with respect to
reasonable project performance
measures. When final, this project
management rule should articulate the
criteria and skills expectations
necessary to assure a project sponsor’s
successful implementation of a fixed

major capital project. The new Part 633
also would be updated to reflect

The Proposal
This action proposes to amend Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR), part 71 by adding additional controlled Class E airspace in
the Altus, OK airspace area. Specifically, that airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface for SIAPs operations at Altus/
Quartz Mountain Regional Airport, Altus, OK.
Class E airspace areas are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9S, dated October 3, 2008, and effective October 31, 2008, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace
designation listed in this document would be published subsequently in
the Order.
The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore, (1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The FAA's authority to
issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the U.S.
Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106 describes the authority of the FAA
Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more
detail the scope of the agency's authority. This rulemaking is
promulgated under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A,
Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with
prescribing regulations to assign the use of airspace necessary to
ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This
regulation is within the scope of that authority as it would add
