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
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 4 of Regulatory Guide 1.28,
‘‘Quality Assurance Program Criteria
(Design and Construction),’’ was issued
with a temporary identification as Draft
Regulatory Guide, DG–1215. DG–1215
was titled ‘‘Quality Assurance Program
Requirements (Design and
Construction).’’ Proposed RG 1.28,
Revision 4, extends the scope of the
NRC’s endorsement to include NQA–1,
Part II, which contains amplifying
quality assurance (QA) requirements for
certain specific work activities that
occur at various stages of a facility’s life.
The work activities include, but are not
limited to, management, planning, site
investigation, design, computer software
use, commercial-grade dedication,
procurement, fabrication, installation,
inspection, and testing. Appendix A,
‘‘Evolution of Quality Assurance
Standards and the Endorsing Regulatory
Guides,’’ to RG 1.28 gives an overview
and continuation of the history and
consolidation of NRC-endorsed
standards.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
As set forth below in an Order issued
on June 4, 2010, the U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC) has
approved a request submitted by its
licensee, Babcock & Wilcox Nuclear
Operations Group, Inc. (B&W NOG),
pertaining to a proposed corporate
restructuring involving several
companies related to B&W NOG. The
NRC treated the request as one seeking
approval of an indirect license transfer.
B&W NOG is a major fuel cycle
facility located in Lynchburg, Virginia,
which is licensed to possess and use
special nuclear material (SNM) under 10
CFR Part 70; and the NRC is thus
providing this notice in accordance with
10 CFR 2.1301(b).
Pursuant to 10 CFR 70.36, no license,
or any right thereunder, shall be
transferred, assigned, or in any manner
disposed of—either voluntarily or
involuntarily, directly or indirectly—
through the transfer of control of the
license, to any person, unless the
Commission, after securing full
information, finds that the transfer is in
accordance with the provisions of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended,
and gives its consent in writing.
II. Opportunity To Request a Hearing
The NRC hereby provides notice that
this is a proceeding regarding the
issuance of the Order set forth below. In
addition to authorizing the indirect
transfer of control over License No.
SNM–42 held by B&W NOG, the Order
authorizes the indirect transfer of
control over NRC License SNM–124
held by Nuclear Fuel Services for its
operations at Erwin, Tennessee; and
authorizes the indirect transfer of
control over NRC License SNM–2001
held by BWX Technologies, which
pertains to the remediation of the former
Shallow Land Disposal Area near Parks
Township, Pennsylvania. In accordance
with the general requirements in
Subpart C of 10 CFR Part 2, as amended
on January 14, 2004 (69 FR 2182), any
person whose interest may be affected
by this proceeding and who desires to
participate as a party must file a written
request for a hearing and a specification
