Procedure Act for changes to regulations
or guidance in the United States. There
are many areas in which the existing
BSS and the draft BSS available for
comment are known to differ from the
current provisions in the regulations of
various Federal and State agencies in
the United States. Thus, views
expressed on the IAEA draft BSS are not
considered as comments on any current
or possible future regulation activity,
but are useful to assist the international
community in developing a logical,
scientifically based set of requirements.
Furthermore, the IAEA BSS can serve as
one possible point of reference in the
ongoing consideration by various U.S.
Agencies of possible regulatory options
which may or may not result in a greater
degree of alignment with international
radiation protection recommendations,
such as those in ICRP Publication 103.
ISCORS is a Committee of Federal
Agencies intended to foster early
resolution and coordination of
regulatory issues associated with
radiation standards and guidelines.
Federal Agencies who are members of
ISCORS include the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, the U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission, the U.S.
Department of Energy, the U.S.
Department of Defense, the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security, the
U.S. Department of Transportation, the
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration of the U.S. Department
of Labor, and the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services. The Office
of Science and Technology Policy, and
the Office of Management and Budget
are observers to the Committee because
of their science policy and regulatory
policy responsibilities. Representatives
from selected state radiation control
organizations and the Defense Nuclear
Facilities Safety Board are also
observers to the Committee because of
their expertise in regulatory
implementation and oversight.
Attendees at the meeting are invited
to express their views on the draft safety
requirement DS379. The views
expressed during the meeting will be
considered for incorporation, along with
comments developed within the
Agencies, and will help determine the
U.S. Government comments on the draft
BSS to be submitted to the IAEA.
ISCORS recognizes that a variety of
views may be provided, and that
viewpoints may differ. ISCORS does not
intend to provide specific feedback to
those attending the public meeting, and
attendees should have no expectation
that the views expressed during the
meeting will be included in the U.S.
Government comments submitted to
IAEA. However, ISCORS, and its

members agencies, believe that is
important to provide an opportunity for
the public to express their views on the
BSS through this forum. Comments
submitted by Member States, including
the United States, will be available on
the IAEA web site. Note that future
domestic rulemakings, if appropriate,
will continue to follow established
rulemaking procedures, including the
opportunity to formally comment on
proposed rules.

Exelon Generation Company, LLC;

Atomic Power Station Units 2 and 3;
Notice of Withdrawal of Application for
Amendment to Facility Operating
License
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (the Commission) has
granted the request of Exelon
Generation Company, LLC, (Exelon) and
PSEG Nuclear, LLC, to withdraw the
portion of its August 7, 2008,
application related to incorporation of
Technical Specification Task Force
Traveler 363, Revision 0, for proposed
amendment to Facility Operating
License Nos. DPR–44 and DPR–56 for
the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station
(PBAPS), Units 2 and 3, located in York
and Lancaster Counties, Pennsylvania.
The proposed amendment would
have revised the Technical
Specifications to incorporate TSTF–
363–A, ‘‘Revise Topical Report
References in ITS [improved technical
specifications] 5.6.5, COLR [Core
Operating Limits Report],’’ Revision 0.
The amendment would have modified
the PBAPS Units 2 and 3 TS 5.6.5, ‘‘Core
Operating Limits Report (COLR),’’ to
remove the requirement to maintain
COLR Topical Report references by
number, title, date, and NRC staff
approved document, if included.
Incorporation of the TSTF would have
permitted referencing of the topical
report by number and title only in the
TSs, with the additional details being
controlled within the COLR document.

Approving Proposed Rule Change To
Modify the Procedures Followed When
a Listed Company Falls Below Certain
Listing Requirements
January 29, 2010.
I. Introduction
On August 17, 2009, The NASDAQ
Stock Market LLC (‘‘Nasdaq’’ or
‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’), pursuant to Section
19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4
thereunder,2 a proposed rule change to
modify the length of certain compliance
periods in Nasdaq’s continued listing
requirements and to modify the time
available for a company to provide a
plan to regain compliance with certain
listing requirements.3 The proposed rule
change was published for comment in
the Federal Register on September 8,
2009.4 The Commission received three
comment letters on the proposal.5 On

abbreviations that are used inconsistently and
utilize defined terms, as appropriate, in Rules 5810
and 5840, and to remove authority in Rule
5810(c)(2)(C) that is duplicated in Rule
5810(c)(2)(B).

December 28, 2009 the Exchange filed a
response to the comment letter.6 This
order approves the proposed rule
change.
II. Description of the Proposal
Price Related Criteria
Under Nasdaq’s current continued
listing requirements relating to market
value of listed securities, a company is
considered to be non-compliant after
falling below the standard for 10
consecutive trading days.7 Thereafter,
the company is provided 90 calendar
days to regain compliance with the
market value of listed securities
requirement. Further, Nasdaq’s current
continued listing rules relating to
market value of publicly held shares
provide that a company is deficient if it
is below the standard for 30 consecutive
trading days. Upon such failure, the
company is provided with 90 calendar
days to regain compliance.8
Nasdaq proposes to modify the length
of time required to trigger noncompliance with the market value of
listed securities requirement and to
modify the compliance periods
associated with the Exchange’s market
value of listed securities and market
value of publicly held shares continued
listing requirements. Nasdaq notes that,
under its bid price continued listing
standard, if a company’s security has a
closing bid price below $1.00 for 30
consecutive trading days, it no longer
meets the bid price requirement and is
automatically provided 180 calendar
days to regain compliance.9 Nasdaq
asserts that because compliance with
each of these rules is directly related to
the price of an issuer’s security, the
length of time to trigger noncompliance, and the amount of time
afforded as a compliance period, should
be consistent. As such, Nasdaq proposes
to lengthen the period that a company
would need to be below the market
