SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is issuing a revision
to an existing guide in the agency’s
‘‘Regulatory Guide’’ series. This series
was developed to describe and make
available to the public information such
as methods that are acceptable to the
VerDate Nov<24>2008
17:03 Oct 30, 2009
Jkt 220001
NRC staff for implementing specific
parts of the agency’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.
Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide 1.189,
‘‘Fire Protection for Nuclear Power
Plants,’’ was issued with a temporary
identification as Draft Regulatory Guide,
DG–1214. The NRC staff developed this
regulatory guide to provide a
comprehensive fire protection guidance
document and to identify the scope and
depth of fire protection program (FPP)
that the staff would consider acceptable
for nuclear power plants. This revision
incorporates guidance developed to
address and close previously unresolved
issues including spurious actuation of
components as a result of fire affecting
electrical circuits.
The regulatory framework that the
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) has established for nuclear plant
FPPs consists of a number of regulations
and supporting guidelines, including,
but not limited to, 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 Criterion (GDC) 3, ‘‘Fire
Protection’’; 10 CFR 50.48, ‘‘Fire
Protection’’; Appendix R, ‘‘Fire
Protection Program for Nuclear Power
Facilities Operating Prior to January 1,
1979,’’ to 10 CFR part 50; regulatory
guides; generic communications (e.g.,
generic letters [GLs], regulatory issue
summaries [RISs], bulletins, and
information notices [INs]); NUREG–
series reports, including NUREG–0800,
‘‘Standard Review Plan [SRP] for the
Review of Safety Analysis Reports for
Nuclear Power Plants’’; and industry
standards. Not all fire protection
regulations promulgated by the NRC
apply to all plants. Regulatory guides do
not always refer to regulations as
requirements. Licensees should refer to
their plant-specific licensing bases to
determine the applicability of a specific
regulation to a specific plant.
II. Further Information
In April 2009, DG–1214 was
published with a public comment
period of 60 days from the issuance of
the guide. The public comment period
closed on May 29, 2009. The staff’s
responses to the public comments are
located in NRC’s Agencywide
Documents Access and Management
System under accession number
ML092580570. The regulatory analysis
included within DG–1214 is valid and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The RRB
is required by section 8(c)(1) of the
Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act
(Act) (45 U.S.C. 358(c)(1)) as amended
by Public Law 100–647, to proclaim by

further required by section 8(c)(2) of the
Act (45 U.S.C. 358(c)(2)) to publish the

The RRB is required by section 12(r)(3)
of the Act (45 U.S.C. 362(r)(3)) to
publish by December 11, 2009, the
computation of the calendar year 2010

Sfmt 4703
sections 1(k), 2(c), 3 and 4(a–2)(i)(A) of
the Act which are related to changes in
the monthly compensation base. Also,
the RRB is required to publish, by June
11, 2010, the maximum daily benefit
rate under section 2(a)(3) of the Act for
days of unemployment and days of
sickness in registration periods
beginning after June 30, 2010.
Surcharge Rate
A surcharge is added in the
calculation of each employer’s
contribution rate, subject to the
applicable maximum rate, for a calendar
year whenever the balance to the credit
of the RUI Account on the preceding
June 30 is less than the greater of $100
million or the amount that bears the
same ratio to $100 million as the system
compensation base for that June 30
bears to the system compensation base
as of June 30, 1991. If the RUI Account
balance is less than $100 million (as
indexed), but at least $50 million (as
indexed), the surcharge will be 1.5
percent. If the RUI Account balance is
less than $50 million (as indexed), but
greater than zero, the surcharge will be
2.5 percent. The maximum surcharge of
3.5 percent applies if the RUI Account
balance is less than zero.
The system compensation base as of
June 30, 1991 was $2,763,287,237.04.
The system compensation base for June
30, 2009 was $3,712,573,424.54. The
ratio of $3,712,573,424.54 to
$2,763,287,237.04 is 1.34353511.
Multiplying 1.34353511 by $100 million
yields $134,353,511. Multiplying $50
million by 1.34353511 produces
$67,176,756. The Account balance on
June 30, 2009, was $73,515,830.17.
Accordingly, the surcharge rate for
calendar year 2010 is 1.5 percent.
Monthly Compensation Base
For years after 1988, section 1(i) of the
Act contains a formula for determining
the monthly compensation base. Under
the prescribed formula, the monthly
compensation base increases by
approximately two-thirds of the
cumulative growth in average national
wages since 1984. The monthly
compensation base for months in
calendar year 2010 shall be equal to the
greater of (a) $600 or (b) $600 [1 + {(A—
37,800)/56,700}], where A equals the
amount of the applicable base with
respect to tier 1 taxes for 2010 under
section 3231(e)(2) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986. Section 1(i)
further provides that if the amount so
determined is not a multiple of $5, it
shall be rounded to the nearest multiple
of $5.
The calendar year 2010 tier 1 tax base
is $106,800. Subtracting $37,800 from
