SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Introduction
The NRC is amending its regulations
at Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR) parts 2, 10, 20, 25,
26, 30, 34, 40, 50, 54, 70, 71, 72, 95, 110,
and 150 to make miscellaneous
administrative changes, including an
update of the list of Agreement and
Non-Agreement States, the merging of
the Region II materials program with
that of Region I, the correction of office
titles associated with the Office of
Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards
and the Office of Federal and State
Materials and Environmental
Management Programs, the inclusion of
references to new E.O. 13526, and other
edits, corrections, and conforming
changes.
Summary of Changes
Include Electronic Watermarks to
Denote Proprietary Content
In § 2.390(b)(1)(i)(A) and (b)(1)(i)(B),
the language is revised to include
electronic watermarks to denote
proprietary content. Current regulations
at § 2.390(b)(1)(i)(A) and (b)(1)(i)(B)
currently require proprietary marking at
the top of the first page, and on
succeeding, affected pages, either
adjacent to the material sought to be
withheld from public disclosure, or at
the top of the page, if the entire page is
sought to be withheld. At the time the
regulations were written, information
technology alternatives, such as
PO 00000
Frm 00001
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
electronic watermarks, were not in
common use, if the technology was
available at all. Various alternatives
such as electronic watermark, margin
notation, or other suitable markings may
now be available to denote proprietary
content, and would be acceptable as
being completely within the spirit of the
regulations, since the goal of the
regulations is simply to ensure that
there is notice of proprietary content to
whoever is handling the document and
not to be unnecessarily prescriptive,
either as to methodology or terminology.
Update the List of Non-Agreement
States
In §§ 30.6(b)(2)(i), 40.5(b)(2)(i), and
70.5(b)(2)(i), Maine, Massachusetts,
Pennsylvania and New Jersey no longer
appear because they are Agreement
States. In §§ 30.6(b)(2)(iii)(B),
40.5(b)(2)(iii)(B), and 70.5(b)(2)(iii)(B),
Ohio, Wisconsin and Minnesota no
longer appear because they are
Agreement States and in
§§ 30.6(b)(2)(iv)(B), 40.5(b)(2)(iv)(B), and
70.5(b)(2)(iv)(B), Oklahoma no longer
appears because it is an Agreement
State.
Add a List of Mining and Milling
Agreement States
In §§ 30.6(b)(2)(iii)(A),
40.5(b)(2)(iii)(A), and 70.5(b)(2)(iii)(A),
Illinois and Ohio are now properly
identified as mining and milling
Agreement States and in
§§ 30.6(b)(2)(iv)(A), 40.5(b)(2)(iv)(A),
and 70.5(b)(2)(iv)(A), Colorado, Utah,
Texas and Washington are also
identified as mining and milling
Agreement States. This addition was
made to highlight those Agreements
States who selected oversight authority
concerning this type of regulation.
Amend Relevant Sections to Identify
That Region II’s Materials Program Has
Been Merged Into That of Region I
The contact information for material
licensees has been updated in
§§ 30.6(b)(2)(ii), 40.5(b)(2)(ii),
70.5(b)(2)(ii) to reflect Region I because
Region II’s materials program has been
merged into that of Region I.
Remove Obsolete Text
Sections 30.37, 40.43, and 70.33 are
revised to remove obsolete text,
contained in paragraph (b) of each
section, that is related to a final rule
published on January 16, 1996 (61 FR
E:\FR\FM\30NOR1.SGM
30NOR1
73936
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 229 / Tuesday, November 30, 2010 / Rules and Regulations
1109). The final rule provided, on a onetime basis, a five-year extension for
certain licenses. Those license
extensions are now expired.
Correct Office Title Associated with the
Office of Nuclear Material Safety and
Safeguards
The office title ‘‘Spent Fuel Project
Office’’ is corrected to ‘‘Division of Spent
Fuel Storage and Transportation’’ in
§§ 71.1, 71.17(c)(3), 71.95(c), 71.101(c),
72.4, 72.16(a), 72.44(f), and 72.186(b).
Use the Formal Title for the Office of
Federal and State Materials and
Environmental Management Programs
Section 71.97(c)(3)(iii) is revised to
change the office title from ‘‘Office of
State Programs’’ to ‘‘Office of Federal
and State Materials and Environmental
Management Programs’’.
Remove Text for an Exemption that
Expired on October 18, 2004
Remove Reference to Section That Does
Not Exist
In § 150.10, the reference to § 150.18
is removed because that section does
not exist.
Correct Name of NUREG
In § 150.17(b), the name ‘‘NUREG/BR–
007’’ is corrected to read ‘‘NUREG/BR–
0007’’.
Correct Executive Order Reference
Executive Order (E.O.) 12958 was
revoked and replaced with E.O. 13526
in early 2010. References were corrected
to E.O. 13526 in the authority citations
to 10 CFR parts 25, 54, and 95;
definitions in §§ 10.5, 25.5, 95.5, and
110.2; and §§ 25.37(b) and 95.59.
Make Conforming Changes for
Consistency and Correct an Error in 10
CFR Part 26
Paperwork Reduction Act Statement
This final rule does not contain
information collection requirements
and, therefore, is not subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
Public Protection Notification
The NRC may not conduct or sponsor,
and a person is not required to respond
to, a request for information or an
information collection requirement
unless the requesting document
displays a currently valid Office of
Management and Budget control
number.
Backfit Analysis
The NRC has determined that the
backfit rule does not apply to this final
rule; therefore, a backfit analysis is not
required for this final rule because these
amendments are administrative in
nature and do not involve any
provisions that would impose backfits
as defined in 10 CFR chapter I, or be
inconsistent with the issue finality
provisions in 10 CFR part 52.
In a petition for rulemaking (PRM)
submitted by the Nuclear Energy
Institute on April 16, 2008 (PRM–70–8;
Docket ID NRC–2009–0184), the
petitioner requested removal of the
exemption in the introductory text to
Appendix A to 10 CFR part 70 because
this exemption expired on October 18,
2004. The NRC agrees with the
petitioner and the text is removed.
Conforming changes to refer to
‘‘review procedure’’ are made in § 26.39.
Conforming changes to refer to
individuals ‘‘constructing or directing
the construction of safety- or securityrelated SSCs’’ are made in
§§ 26.403(b)(2)(ii), 26.403(b)(3),
26.405(c)(1), 26.406(b), 26.406(d),
26.407 and 26.409. An incorrect
reference to operators licensed under 10
CFR Part 52 is removed from the
introductory text of § 26.719(b)(2).
Correct Column Heading in Appendix B
of 10 CFR Part 20
Rulemaking Procedure
List of Subjects
Because these amendments constitute
minor administrative corrections to the
regulations, the Commission finds that
the notice and comment provisions of
the Administrative Procedure Act are
unnecessary and is exercising its
authority under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) to
publish these amendments as a final
rule. The amendments are effective 30
days after publication in the Federal
Register. These amendments do not
require action by any person or entity
regulated by the NRC. Also, the final
rule does not change the substantive
responsibilities of any person or entity
regulated by the NRC.
10 CFR Part 2
In the second table that appears in
Appendix B to 10 CFR part 20, the
heading for the second column of Table
1 which reads ‘‘μCi/ml’’ is corrected to
read ‘‘μCi’’.
Correct to Use the Defined Term
‘‘Watchman’’
In § 26.4(a)(5), the term ‘‘watchperson’’
is replaced with the defined term
‘‘watchman’’.
Correct the Spelling of the Word
‘‘Measures’’
In § 50.70(b)(3), the spelling of the
word ‘‘measures’’ is corrected.
Environmental Impact: Categorical
Exclusion
jdjones on DSK8KYBLC1PROD with RULES
Remove References to Information
Collections
In § 34.8(b), the reference to § 34.53 is
removed because it does not contain any
information collections. In § 71.6(b), the
reference to § 71.20 is removed because
the information collection in that
section has expired.
Add Missing Punctuation
In § 50.56, a comma is added after the
word ‘‘contrary’’.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:07 Nov 29, 2010
Jkt 223001
The NRC has determined that this
final rule is the type of action described
in categorical exclusion 10 CFR
51.22(c)(2), which excludes from a
major action rules which are corrective
or of a minor non-policy nature and do
not substantially modify existing
regulations. Therefore, neither an
environmental impact statement nor an
environmental assessment has been
prepared for this rule.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
10 CFR Part 851
Worker Safety and Health Program:
Safety Conscious Work Environment
Office of the General Counsel,
Department of Energy (DOE).
ACTION: Notice of denial of petition for
rulemaking.
AGENCY:
The Department of Energy
received a petition from the Hanford
Challenge on August 18, 2009,
requesting the initiation of a rulemaking
regarding safety policies at DOE’s
nuclear facilities. The petition calls for
DOE to establish by regulation a safety
program using the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission’s ‘‘Safety-Conscious Work
Environment’’ guidelines as a model.
DOE published this petition and a
request for comment on October 16,
2009. DOE denies the petition for
rulemaking.
DATES: This notice is effective
November 30, 2010.

Assistant Secretary, Safety Management

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOE
received numerous comments in
response to the notice of the Hanford
Challenge petition for rulemaking,
published on October 16, 2009. 74 FR
53190. The vast majority of those
comments recommended denial of the
petition, for two reasons. First, DOE
already has numerous regulations in
place to protect and encourage
employees to raise work-related

concerns. Second, not only would
instituting a ‘‘Safety-Conscious Work
Environment’’ by regulation be
redundant, but it would also fail to add
any additional protections not already
in place. The comments DOE received
in favor of the petition were generally
related to the existing culture of safety
and whistleblower protection. The main
concern in these comments was that
DOE facilities would be unsafe without
an environment where employees could
raise concerns without fear of retaliation
or reprisal.
After reviewing the existing
protections, DOE agrees with the
majority of the comments that granting
the petition for rulemaking would be
unnecessary. Currently, employee
protection and safety programs exist in
the following statutory and regulatory
authorities: 42 U.S.C. 5851, 10 CFR part
708, 10 CFR part 851, 29 CFR 1960.28,
48 CFR 970.0309, and 29 CFR part 24,
as well as numerous internal DOE
orders and directives including DOE’s
Employee Concerns Program (DOE
Order 442.1A) and Differing
Professional Opinions Manual (DOE
Manual 442.1–1). These authorities
provide sufficient guidance and
protections in which employees can
properly raise concerns that will be
promptly reviewed and appropriately
resolved with timely feedback.
DOE denies the petition for
rulemaking because the existing
regulations provide legal protection to
employees while adequately promoting
worker involvement in raising and
resolving concerns. Implementing the
‘‘Safety-Conscious Work Environment’’
would be redundant and would fail to
add any substantive protections not
currently in place. While the petitioner
believes that the existing regulations are
inadequate, neither DOE’s internal
review nor the comments submitted in
response to the petition demonstrate
that to be the case.
Nevertheless, DOE recognizes that the
existing authorities governing safety and
employee protection programs can be
diverse and confusing. In an attempt to
provide as much clarity on this issue as
possible, DOE has created a Web site
summarizing the existing law and
providing a central location
consolidating all the relevant standards
on this issue. This Web site can be
accessed at: https://www.gc.energy.gov/
1630.htm. The Department believes that
this Web site will increase awareness of
the existing protections for DOE
employees and DOE contractors and
will address the underlying concerns
evident in the Hanford Challenge
petition for rulemaking and the
comments in support thereof.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Introduction
The NRC is amending its regulations at Title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR) parts 2, 10, 20, 25, 26, 30, 34, 40, 50,
54, 70, 71, 72, 95, 110, and 150 to make miscellaneous administrative
changes, including an update of the list of Agreement and Non-Agreement
States, the merging of the Region II materials program with that of
Region I, the correction of office titles associated with the Office of
Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards and the Office of Federal and
State Materials and Environmental Management Programs, the inclusion of
references to new E.O. 13526, and other edits, corrections, and
conforming changes.
Summary of Changes
Include Electronic Watermarks to Denote Proprietary Content
In Sec. 2.390(b)(1)(i)(A) and (b)(1)(i)(B), the language is
revised to include electronic watermarks to denote proprietary content.
Current regulations at Sec. 2.390(b)(1)(i)(A) and (b)(1)(i)(B)
currently require proprietary marking at the top of the first page, and
on succeeding, affected pages, either adjacent to the material sought
to be withheld from public disclosure, or at the top of the page, if
the entire page is sought to be withheld. At the time the regulations
were written, information technology alternatives, such as electronic
watermarks, were not in common use, if the technology was available at
all. Various alternatives such as electronic watermark, margin
notation, or other suitable markings may now be available to denote
proprietary content, and would be acceptable as being completely within
the spirit of the regulations, since the goal of the regulations is
simply to ensure that there is notice of proprietary content to whoever
is handling the document and not to be unnecessarily prescriptive,
either as to methodology or terminology.
Update the List of Non-Agreement States
In Sec. Sec. 30.6(b)(2)(i), 40.5(b)(2)(i), and 70.5(b)(2)(i),
Maine, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and New Jersey no longer appear
because they are Agreement States. In Sec. Sec. 30.6(b)(2)(iii)(B),
40.5(b)(2)(iii)(B), and 70.5(b)(2)(iii)(B), Ohio, Wisconsin and
Minnesota no longer appear because they are Agreement States and in
Sec. Sec. 30.6(b)(2)(iv)(B), 40.5(b)(2)(iv)(B), and 70.5(b)(2)(iv)(B),
Oklahoma no longer appears because it is an Agreement State.
Add a List of Mining and Milling Agreement States
In Sec. Sec. 30.6(b)(2)(iii)(A), 40.5(b)(2)(iii)(A), and
70.5(b)(2)(iii)(A), Illinois and Ohio are now properly identified as
mining and milling Agreement States and in Sec. Sec.
30.6(b)(2)(iv)(A), 40.5(b)(2)(iv)(A), and 70.5(b)(2)(iv)(A), Colorado,
Utah, Texas and Washington are also identified as mining and milling
Agreement States. This addition was made to highlight those Agreements
States who selected oversight authority concerning this type of
regulation.
Amend Relevant Sections to Identify That Region II's Materials Program
Has Been Merged Into That of Region I
The contact information for material licensees has been updated in
Sec. Sec. 30.6(b)(2)(ii), 40.5(b)(2)(ii), 70.5(b)(2)(ii) to reflect
Region I because Region II's materials program has been merged into
that of Region I.
Remove Obsolete Text
Sections 30.37, 40.43, and 70.33 are revised to remove obsolete
text, contained in paragraph (b) of each section, that is related to a
final rule published on January 16, 1996 (61 FR
[[Page 73936]]
1109). The final rule provided, on a one-time basis, a five-year
extension for certain licenses. Those license extensions are now
expired.
Correct Office Title Associated with the Office of Nuclear Material
Safety and Safeguards
The office title ``Spent Fuel Project Office'' is corrected to
``Division of Spent Fuel Storage and Transportation'' in Sec. Sec.
71.1, 71.17(c)(3), 71.95(c), 71.101(c), 72.4, 72.16(a), 72.44(f), and
72.186(b).
Use the Formal Title for the Office of Federal and State Materials and
Environmental Management Programs
Section 71.97(c)(3)(iii) is revised to change the office title from
``Office of State Programs'' to ``Office of Federal and State Materials
and Environmental Management Programs''.
Remove Text for an Exemption that Expired on October 18, 2004
In a petition for rulemaking (PRM) submitted by the Nuclear Energy
Institute on April 16, 2008 (PRM-70-8; Docket ID NRC-2009-0184), the
petitioner requested removal of the exemption in the introductory text
to Appendix A to 10 CFR part 70 because this exemption expired on
October 18, 2004. The NRC agrees with the petitioner and the text is
removed.
Correct Column Heading in Appendix B of 10 CFR Part 20
In the second table that appears in Appendix B to 10 CFR part 20,
the heading for the second column of Table 1 which reads ``[mu]Ci/ml''
is corrected to read ``[mu]Ci''.
Correct to Use the Defined Term ``Watchman''
In Sec. 26.4(a)(5), the term ``watchperson'' is replaced with the
defined term ``watchman''.
Correct the Spelling of the Word ``Measures''
In Sec. 50.70(b)(3), the spelling of the word ``measures'' is
corrected.
Remove References to Information Collections
In Sec. 34.8(b), the reference to Sec. 34.53 is removed because
it does not contain any information collections. In Sec. 71.6(b), the
reference to Sec. 71.20 is removed because the information collection
in that section has expired.
Add Missing Punctuation
In Sec. 50.56, a comma is added after the word ``contrary''.
Remove Reference to Section That Does Not Exist
In Sec. 150.10, the reference to Sec. 150.18 is removed because
that section does not exist.
Correct Name of NUREG
In Sec. 150.17(b), the name ``NUREG/BR-007'' is corrected to read
``NUREG/BR-0007''.
Correct Executive Order Reference
Executive Order (E.O.) 12958 was revoked and replaced with E.O.
13526 in early 2010. References were corrected to E.O. 13526 in the
authority citations to 10 CFR parts 25, 54, and 95; definitions in
Sec. Sec. 10.5, 25.5, 95.5, and 110.2; and Sec. Sec. 25.37(b) and
95.59.
Make Conforming Changes for Consistency and Correct an Error in 10 CFR
Part 26
Conforming changes to refer to ``review procedure'' are made in
Sec. 26.39. Conforming changes to refer to individuals ``constructing
or directing the construction of safety- or security-related SSCs'' are
made in Sec. Sec. 26.403(b)(2)(ii), 26.403(b)(3), 26.405(c)(1),
26.406(b), 26.406(d), 26.407 and 26.409. An incorrect reference to
operators licensed under 10 CFR Part 52 is removed from the
introductory text of Sec. 26.719(b)(2).
Rulemaking Procedure
Because these amendments constitute minor administrative
corrections to the regulations, the Commission finds that the notice
and comment provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act are
unnecessary and is exercising its authority under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) to
publish these amendments as a final rule. The amendments are effective
30 days after publication in the Federal Register. These amendments do
not require action by any person or entity regulated by the NRC. Also,
the final rule does not change the substantive responsibilities of any
person or entity regulated by the NRC.
Environmental Impact: Categorical Exclusion
The NRC has determined that this final rule is the type of action
described in categorical exclusion 10 CFR 51.22(c)(2), which excludes
from a major action rules which are corrective or of a minor non-policy
nature and do not substantially modify existing regulations. Therefore,
neither an environmental impact statement nor an environmental
assessment has been prepared for this rule.
Paperwork Reduction Act Statement
This final rule does not contain information collection
requirements and, therefore, is not subject to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
Public Protection Notification
The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a request for information or an information collection
requirement unless the requesting document displays a currently valid
Office of Management and Budget control number.
Backfit Analysis
The NRC has determined that the backfit rule does not apply to this
final rule; therefore, a backfit analysis is not required for this
final rule because these amendments are administrative in nature and do
not involve any provisions that would impose backfits as defined in 10
CFR chapter I, or be inconsistent with the issue finality provisions in
10 CFR part 52.
Congressional Review Act (CRA)
Under the CRA of 1996, the NRC has determined that this action is
not a major rule and has verified this determination with the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs of OMB.

shall establish procedures for the review of a determination that an
individual who they employ or who has applied for authorization has
violated the FFD policy. The review procedure must provide for an
objective and impartial review of the facts related to the
determination that the individual has violated the FFD policy.
(b) The review procedure must provide notice to the individual of
the grounds for the determination that the individual has violated the
FFD policy, and must provide an opportunity for the individual to
respond and submit additional relevant information.
(c) The review procedure must ensure that the individual who
conducts the review is not associated with the administration of the
FFD program [see the description of FFD program personnel in Sec.
26.4(g)]. Individuals who conduct the review may be management
personnel.

other entity shall update the relevant records to reflect the outcome
of the review and delete or correct all information the review found to
be inaccurate.

and other entities rely, and the C/V determines that its employee,
subcontractor, or applicant has violated its FFD policy, the C/V shall
ensure that the review procedure required in this section is provided
to the individual. Licensees and other entities who rely on a C/V's FFD
