ACTION: Opportunity for public

AGENCY:
The Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is requesting public
comment on Management Directive
(MD) 8.11, ‘‘Review Process for 10 CFR
2.206 Petitions,’’ dated July 1, 1999. MD
8.11 is a guidance document that details
the internal procedures for NRC staff
review and disposition of petitions
submitted under Title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.206.
Because some of these internal
procedures directly impact the
interaction between members of the
public and the NRC, the NRC is
soliciting comments from the public, on
what, if any, revisions should be made
to the agency’s internal process as
described in MD 8.11.
DATES: Comments must be filed no later
than October 13, 2010. Comments

The NRC requests that any party
soliciting or aggregating comments
received from other persons for

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
MD 8.11, ‘‘Review Process for 10 CFR
2.206 Petitions,’’ is a guidance document
that details the internal procedures for
NRC staff review and disposition of
petitions submitted under Title 10 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR)
2.206. Because some of these internal
procedures directly impact the
interaction between members of the
public and the NRC, the NRC is
soliciting comments from the public, on
what, if any, revisions should be made
to the agency’s internal process as
described in MD 8.11. The 10 CFR 2.206
process is the primary mechanism for a
member of the public to request
Commission review of a potential safety
problem with an NRC licensed facility,
outside of a licensing or rulemaking
proceeding. Any person may file a
petition under 10 CFR 2.206 to request
that the Commission modify, suspend,
or revoke a license, or take any other
enforcement-related action that may be
proper. This process provides the public
with a mechanism to raise issues of
concern to the Commission. Each 10
CFR 2.206 petition is reviewed by the
E:\FR\FM\30JYN1.SGM
30JYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 146 / Friday, July 30, 2010 / Notices
appropriate major program Office. Upon
receipt of each petition, the appropriate
program Office assembles a petition
review board (PRB) typically consisting
of a Senior Executive Service level
manager, a petition manager, a petition
coordinator, technical experts, regional
inspectors, and legal and enforcement
advisors. The PRB follows the guidance
in MD 8.11 to determine if the petition
meets the criteria for review. If the PRB
determines that the petition meets the
criteria for review, the office director
issues a formal Director’s Decision
providing a specific disposition of the
issues raised in the petition. If the Office
Director finds that the petition raises a
substantial safety concern, an
enforcement order may be issued or
other appropriate action taken, within
the Office Director’s discretion.
Discussion
In support of the NRC’s efforts to
update each MD every five years, the
NRC staff is evaluating MD 8.11, which
details the internal procedures for NRC
staff review and disposition of petitions
submitted under Title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.206. The
purpose of this evaluation is to ensure
that the 10 CFR 2.206 process is an
effective, equitable, and credible
mechanism for the public to prompt
Commission investigation and
resolution of potential health and safety
problems. This evaluation is consistent
with current Commission efforts to
ensure openness in the Commission’s
decision making process. The NRC
plans to consider comments provided
by members of the public during its
evaluation of MD 8.11.

Table of Contents
I. Introduction
II. Notice of Filing
III. Ordering Paragraphs
I. Introduction
The Postal Service seeks to add a new
product, Global Plus 2A, to the
competitive product list and to that end,
filed notice, pursuant to 39 CFR 3015.5,
announcing that it has entered into two
additional Global Plus 2A contracts.1
The Postal Service states that the instant
contracts are functionally equivalent to
one another and to previously submitted
Global Plus 2 contracts, and are filed in
accordance with Order No. 112.2 It
states further that the instant contracts
are supported by Governors’ Decision
No. 08–10, which establishes prices and
classifications not of general
applicability for Global Direct, Global
Bulk Economy and Global Plus
Contracts.3
While the Postal Service’s filing was
not submitted pursuant to 39 U.S.C.
3020.30 et seq., it appears to request the
addition of a new product to the
competitive product list. Docket No.
MC2010–27 is established to consider
this part of the filing.
1 Notice of the United States Postal Service of
Filing of Two Functionally Equivalent Global Plus
2A Contracts Negotiated Service Agreements, July
13, 2010 (Notice); see Errata to Notice of the United
States Postal Service of Filing of Two Functionally
Equivalent Global Plus 2A Contracts Negotiated

The Postal Service
contemporaneously filed copies of the
contracts related to the proposed
competitive product classification
pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3632(b)(3) and 39
CFR 3015.5. The contracts have been
assigned Docket Nos. CP2010–69 and
CP2010–70, respectively.
The instant contracts. The Postal
Service filed the instant contracts
pursuant to 39 CFR 3015. The Postal
Service states that the instant contracts
are the immediate successor contracts to
those in Docket Nos. CP2009–48 and
CP2009–49 that are scheduled to expire
July 31, 2010. Notice at 2–3. The instant
contracts are expected to begin August
1, 2010, and expire on the day prior to
the day of any changes in the published
rates that affect the Qualifying Mail
subject to the contracts. Id. at 3–4.
The Postal Service filed copies of the
contracts, Governors’ Decision with
attachments, and supporting financial
documentation under seal. Id. at 2.
Additionally, in support of its Notice,
the Postal Service filed the following
five attachments:
1. Attachment 1–a statement of
supporting justification required by 39
CFR 3020.32;
2. Attachments 2A and 2B–a redacted
copy of each contract;
3. Attachment 3A and 3B–a certified
statement for each contract required by
39 CFR 3015.5(c)(2);
4. Attachment 4–a redacted copy of
Governors’ Decision No. 08–10, which
establishes prices and classifications for
Global Direct, Global Bulk Economy,
and Global Plus Contracts, formulas for
the prices, analysis and certification of
the formulas and certification of the
Governors’ vote; and
5. Attachment 5–an application for
non-public treatment of materials to
maintain the contract and supporting
documents under seal.
Functional equivalence. The Postal
Service asserts that the instant contracts
are functionally equivalent both to one
another and to the precursor Global Plus
2 contracts in that they share similar
cost and market characteristics. Id. at 4.
It contends as a result the instant
contracts should be grouped together as
a single product. Id.
The Postal Service addresses
similarities in the instant contracts and
their predecessors, e.g., that the
customers are the same and that
fundamental terms and conditions of
the contracts remain essentially
unchanged. In addition the Postal
Service identifies what it characterizes
as material changes in the contracts,
e.g., term, price incentives, and
additional service options. It asserts that
the differences do not affect either the
