Northern States Power Company;
Prairie Island Nuclear Generating
Plant, Units 1 and 2; Notice of Issuance
of Director’s Decision
Notice is hereby given that the
Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor
Regulation, has issued a Director’s
Decision with regard to a petition dated
September 4, 2009, filed by Mr. David
Sebastian, hereinafter referred to as the
‘‘petitioner.’’ On September 30, 2009, the
petitioner requested an opportunity to
address the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) Petition Review
Board (PRB) to provide any additional
information to support the petition. A
teleconference took place on October 13,
2009.
The petition requested that the NRC
take the following actions:
(1) Order Xcel Energy Inc. (Xcel) to
cease and desist from its current
arbitrary and capricious practice of
using the Access Authorization and
Fitness-for-Duty (AA/FFD) Programs for
purposes other than their original
intent, as they are being applied against
him.
(2) Order compliance with:
(A) The NRC’s regulations at Title 10
of the Code of Federal Regulations (10
CFR) 73.56, ‘‘Personnel Access
Authorization Requirements for Nuclear
Power Plants’’;
(B) The rationale described in the
final rule ‘‘Access Authorization
Program for Nuclear Power Plants’’ (RIN
3150–AA90) published in the Federal
Register on April 26, 1991 (56 FR
18997); and
(C) The Nuclear Energy Institute’s
(NEI’s) implementation guidance in NEI
03–01, ‘‘Nuclear Power Plant Access
Authorization Program,’’ Revision 2,
issued October 2008.
(3) Grant the petitioner access
authorization without further delay to
perform his accepted job tasks, with all
record of said denial removed from any
and all records wherever found.
(4) Issue any other order, or grant any
other relief, to which the petitioner may
have shown himself entitled.
As the basis for the September 4,
2009, request, the petitioner stated that
Xcel is in violation of 10 CFR 73.56 in
denying him access to the Prairie Island
Nuclear Generating Plant using the AA/
FFD Programs by basing the decision
solely upon an existing tax lien. The
petitioner stated that Xcel failed to base
the decision to grant or deny unescorted
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 220001
access authorization on a review and
evaluation of all pertinent information.
The petitioner stated that Xcel failed to
incorporate all three elements (i.e.,
background investigation, psychological
assessment, and behavioral observation)
of the unescorted access authorization
program when making the decision to
deny unescorted access and that this is
contrary to the rationale for rulemaking,
as discussed in 56 FR 18997.
On October 26 and December 2, 2009,
the NRC PRB convened to discuss the
petition under consideration to
determine whether it met the criteria
established in NRC Management
Directive (MD) 8.11, ‘‘Review Process for
10 CFR 2.206 Petitions,’’ dated October
25, 2000, for acceptance into the process
under 10 CFR 2.206, ‘‘Requests for
Action under This Subpart.’’ The PRB
made the following final
recommendations:
(1) Item 1 met the criteria established
in MD 8.11 for acceptance into the 10
CFR 2.206 process for the petition under
consideration.
(2) Item 2 met the criteria established
in MD 8.11 for acceptance into the 10
CFR 2.206 process for the petition under
consideration.
(3) Item 3 did not meet the MD 8.11
criteria for further review under the 10
CFR 2.206 process, in that the request
did not specifically address an
enforcement-related action.
(4) Item 4 did not meet the MD 8.11
criteria for further review under the 10
CFR 2.206 process, in that the petition
provided insufficient facts to support
the request.
The NRC sent a copy of the proposed
Director’s Decision to the petitioner and
the licensee for comment on May 7,
2010. The licensee had no comments on
the proposed Director’s Decision. On
June 4, 2010, the NRC staff received
comments on the proposed Director’s
Decision from the petitioner. The
Director’s Decision includes the
comments and the NRC staff’s response
to them.
The Director of the Office of Nuclear
Reactor Regulation has determined that
the request pertaining to Xcel be denied.
The Director’s Decision, DD–10–02,
explains the reasons for this decision
pursuant to 10 CFR 2.206. The complete
text of the decision is available in the
Agencywide Documents Access and
Management System (ADAMS)

review. As provided for by this
regulation, the director’s decision will

Mail Contract 27 to the competitive
product list.1 The Postal Service asserts
that Priority Mail Contract 27 is a
competitive product ‘‘not of general
applicability’’ within the meaning of 39
U.S.C. 3632(b)(3). Id. at 1. The Postal
Service states that prices and
classification underlying this contract
are supported by Governors’ Decision
No. 09–6 in Docket No. MC2009–25. Id.
The Request has been assigned Docket
No. MC2010–32.
The Postal Service
contemporaneously filed a contract
related to the proposed new product
pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3632(b)(3) and 39
CFR 3015.5. The contract has been
assigned Docket No. CP2010–77.
Request. In support of its Request, the
Postal Service filed six attachments as
follows:
• Attachment A—a redacted copy of
the Governor’s Decision No. 09–6,
originally filed in Docket No. MC2009–
25, authorizing certain Priority Mail
contracts;
• Attachment B—a redacted copy of
the contract;
• Attachment C—a proposed change
in the Mail Classification Schedule
competitive product list;
• Attachment D—a Statement of
Supporting Justification as required by
39 CFR 3020.32;
• Attachment E—a certification of
compliance with 39 U.S.C. 3633(a); and
• Attachment F—an application for
non-public treatment of materials to
maintain redacted portions of the
contract and supporting document
under seal.
In the Statement of Supporting
Justification, Brian G. Denneny, Acting
Manager, Sales and Communications,
asserts that the service to be provided
under the contract will cover its
attributable costs, make a positive
contribution to institutional costs, and
increase contribution toward the
requisite 5.5 percent of the Postal
Service’s total institutional costs. Id.,
Attachment D. Thus, Mr. Denneny
contends there will be no issue of
subsidization of competitive products
by market dominant products as a result
of this contract. Id.
Related contract. A redacted version
of the specific Priority Mail Contract 27
is included with the Request. The
contract will become effective on the
day that the Commission provides all
necessary regulatory approvals. It is
terminable upon 30 days notice by a
party, but could continue for 3 years.

Postal Service will provide the shipper
with Priority Mail packaging for eligible
Priority Mail items mailed by the

specific Priority Mail Contract 27, under
seal. It maintains that the contract and
related financial information, including
the customer’s name and the
accompanying analyses that provide
prices, terms, conditions, cost data, and
financial projections should remain
under seal. See Attachment F. It also
requests that the Commission order that
the duration of such treatment of all
customer-identifying information be
extended indefinitely, instead of ending
after 10 years. Id. at 7.
II. Notice of Filings

Extension:
Rule 17a–7; SEC File No. 270–147; OMB
Control No. 3235–0131.
Notice is hereby given that pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities
and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the collection of information
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit this existing collection
of information to the Office of
Management and Budget for extension
and approval.
Rule 17a–7 (17 CFR 240.17a–7) under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15
U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (‘‘Exchange Act’’)
requires non-resident broker-dealers
registered or applying for registration
pursuant to Section 15 of the Exchange
Act to maintain—in the United States—
complete and current copies of books
and records required to be maintained
under any rule adopted under the
Exchange Act. Alternatively, Rule 17a–
7 provides non-resident broker-dealers
may sign written undertakings to
furnish the requisite books and records
to the Commission upon demand.
There are approximately 63 nonresident brokers and dealers. Based on
the Commission’s experience in this
area, it is estimated that the average
amount of time necessary to preserve
the books and records required by Rule
17a–7 is one hour per year. Accordingly,
the total burden is 63 hours per year.
With an average cost per hour of
approximately $294, the total cost of
compliance for the respondents is
approximately $18,522 per year.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information; (c) ways to
