SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: To assist in the preparation of its study on federal protection for pre-1972 sound recordings, the Office published a Notice of Inquiry seeking comments on many detailed questions regarding various aspects of the study. See 75 FR 67777 (November 3, 2010). Initial comments, which were due on January 31, 2011, have been received and are posted on the Copyright Office Web site at https://www.copyright.gov/docs/ sound/comments/initial/. Reply comments were due to be filed by March 2, 2011. The Copyright Office has received a request from the Association of Recorded Sound Collections (ARSC) to extend the reply comment period by 42 days in order to allow sufficient time to provide the Office with comprehensive comments on issues relating to copyright law, licensing, and the marketing of sound recordings raised by the initial comments. ARSC points out that at the request of another commenter, the deadline for initial comments was extended by 42 days, and that the initial comments raised VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:21 Feb 23, 2011 Jkt 223001 ‘‘[m]any complex issues relating to copyright law, licensing, and the marketing of sound recordings.’’ ARSC states that a 42-day extension of the deadline for submission of reply comments would assure that all parties have ample time to craft responses. Given the complexity of the issues addressed by the initial comments, and in the interest in developing a thorough record, the Office has decided to extend the deadline for filing reply comments by a period of 42 days, making reply comments due by April 13, 2011. The Office received one initial comment after the January 31 deadline. Because of the extension of the deadline for reply comments, the Office has decided to accept that comment, which has been posted on the Copyright Office Web site at https://www.copyright.gov/ docs/sound/comments/initial/ as Comment Number 59.

To control this accumulation, agency records managers prepare schedules proposing retention periods for records and submit these schedules for NARA’s approval, using the Standard Form (SF) 115, Request for Records Disposition Authority. These schedules provide for the timely transfer into the National Archives of historically valuable records and authorize the disposal of all other records after the agency no longer needs them to conduct its business. Some schedules are comprehensive and cover all the records of an agency or one of its major subdivisions. Most schedules, however, cover records of only one office or program or a few series of records. Many of these update previously approved schedules, and some include records proposed as permanent. The schedules listed in this notice are media neutral unless specified otherwise. An item in a schedule is media neutral when the disposition instructions may be applied to records regardless of the medium in which the records are created and maintained. Items included in schedules submitted to NARA on or after December 17, 2007, are media neutral unless the item is limited to a specific medium. (See 36 CFR 1225.12(e).) No Federal records are authorized for destruction without the approval of the Archivist of the United States. This approval is granted only after a thorough consideration of their administrative use by the agency of origin, the rights of the Government and of private persons directly affected by the Government’s activities, and whether or not they have historical or other value. Besides identifying the Federal agencies and any subdivisions requesting disposition authority, this public notice lists the organizational unit(s) accumulating the records or indicates agency-wide applicability in the case of schedules that cover records that may be accumulated throughout an agency. This notice provides the control number assigned to each schedule, the total number of schedule items, and the number of temporary items (the records proposed for destruction). It also includes a brief description of the temporary records. The records schedule itself contains a full description of the records at the file unit level as well as their disposition. If NARA staff has prepared an appraisal memorandum for the schedule, it too includes information about the records. Further information about the disposition process is available on request.

[FR Doc. 2011–4264 Filed 2–23–11; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 7515–01–P NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION [Docket No. 50–346; NRC–2010–0253] License No. NPF–3; FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company Notice of Issuance of Director’s Decision Notice is hereby given that the Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), has issued a Director’s Decision with regard to a petition dated April 5, 2010, filed by David Lochbaum, hereafter referred to as the ‘‘Petitioner.’’ The petition concerns the operation of the DavisBesse Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1 (DBNPS). The petition requested that the NRC issue a Show Cause Order, or comparable enforcement action, preventing the DBNPS from restarting following the shutdown in February 2010, until adequate protection standards were met. As the basis for the April 5, 2010, request, the Petitioner states that FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (the licensee for DBNPS) has violated Federal regulations and the explicit conditions of its operating license by operating for longer than 6 hours with pressure boundary leakage. The Petitioner considers such operation to be potentially unsafe and to be in violation of Federal regulations. To support the Petitioner’s belief that the facility is prohibited from operating longer than 6 hours with pressure boundary leakage, the petition references the facility operating license; the technical specifications for DBNPS; Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) part 50, ‘‘Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities,’’ Appendix A, ‘‘General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants’’; and the Standard Technical Specifications. The petition of April 5, 2010, states that the licensee for DBNPS has repeatedly violated Federal regulations and the explicit conditions of its operating license by operating the reactor longer than 6 hours with pressure boundary leakage. In doing so, the Petitioner states that the public was exposed to elevated and undue risk. The NRC’s regulations and the operating PO 00000 Frm 00090 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 10409 license the NRC issued for DBNPS define adequate protection standards, which include zero reactor coolant pressure boundary leakage during operation, with the requirement to shut down the reactor within 6 hours if such leakage exists. The Petitioner states that with regard to the DBNPS, evidence demonstrates that the adequate protection standard was not met on multiple occasions and that it is imperative for the NRC to act now to protect the public. The NRC sent a copy of the proposed Director’s Decision to the Petitioner and to the licensee on November 10, 2010. The Petitioner responded with comments on November 23, 2010, and the licensee did not provide comments. The final Director’s Decision includes a summary of the comments and the NRC staff’s response to them. The Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation has determined that the request to issue a Show Cause Order or comparable enforcement-related action to the licensee for DBNPS is denied. The Director’s Decision [DD– 11–02] pursuant to 10 CFR 2.206, ‘‘Requests for Action under This Subpart,’’ explains the reasons for this decision. The complete text of the Director’s Decision is available for inspection in the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System at the Commission’s Public Document Room, located at One White Flint North, Public File Area O1 F21, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland, and from the ADAMS Public Library component on the NRC’s Web site, https://www.nrc.gov/ reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room), ADAMS Accession No. ML110250189). In summary, the NRC has completed a rigorous Special Inspection and determined that enforcement is not required for this matter and that the NRC has reasonable assurance that adequate protection standards have been met and will continue to be met at DBNPS. NRC Region III Inspection Report 05000346/2010–008, dated October 22, 2010, focused on these concerns. The NRC Special Inspection Team was chartered to assess the circumstances surrounding the identification of the flaws in the reactor pressure vessel head control rod drive mechanism (CRDM) nozzle penetrations at DBNPS. The NRC has reviewed in detail the CDRM nozzle cracking, as well as the circumstances surrounding the causes of this cracking and previous opportunities for identification and intervention. The NRC’s inspection determined that the public health and safety have not been, nor are likely to E:\FR\FM\24FEN1.SGM 24FEN1

NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION


Records Schedules; Availability and Request for Comments

AGENCY: National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

[[Page 10407]]


ACTION: Notice of availability of proposed records schedules; request 
for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) 
publishes notice at least once monthly of certain Federal agency 
requests for records disposition authority (records schedules). Once 
approved by NARA, records schedules provide mandatory instructions on 
what happens to records when no longer needed for current Government 
business. They authorize the preservation of records of continuing 
value in the National Archives of the United States and the 
destruction, after a specified period, of records lacking 
administrative, legal, research, or other value. Notice is published 
for records schedules in which agencies propose to destroy records not 
previously authorized for disposal or reduce the retention period of 
records already authorized for disposal. NARA invites public comments 
on such records schedules, as required by 44 U.S.C. 3303a(a).

DATES: Requests for copies must be received in writing on or before 
March 28, 2011. Once the appraisal of the records is completed, NARA 
will send a copy of the schedule. NARA staff usually prepare appraisal 
memorandums that contain additional information concerning the records 
covered by a proposed schedule. These, too, may be requested and will 
be provided once the appraisal is completed. Requesters will be given 
30 days to submit comments.

ADDRESSES: You may request a copy of any records schedule identified in 
this notice by contacting the Life Cycle Management Division (NWML) 
using one of the following means:
    Mail: NARA (NWML), 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD 20740-6001.
    E-mail: request.schedule@nara.gov.
    FAX: 301-837-3698.
    Requesters must cite the control number, which appears in 
parentheses after the name of the agency which submitted the schedule, 
and must provide a mailing address. Those who desire appraisal reports 
should so indicate in their request.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Laurence Brewer, Director, Life Cycle 
Management Division (NWML), National Archives and Records 
Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD 20740-6001. 
Telephone: 301-837-1539. E-mail: records.mgt@nara.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each year Federal agencies create billions 
of records on paper, film, magnetic tape, and other media. To control 
this accumulation, agency records managers prepare schedules proposing 
retention periods for records and submit these schedules for NARA's 
approval, using the Standard Form (SF) 115, Request for Records 
Disposition Authority. These schedules provide for the timely transfer 
into the National Archives of historically valuable records and 
authorize the disposal of all other records after the agency no longer 
needs them to conduct its business. Some schedules are comprehensive 
and cover all the records of an agency or one of its major 
subdivisions. Most schedules, however, cover records of only one office 
or program or a few series of records. Many of these update previously 
approved schedules, and some include records proposed as permanent.
    The schedules listed in this notice are media neutral unless 
specified otherwise. An item in a schedule is media neutral when the 
disposition instructions may be applied to records regardless of the 
medium in which the records are created and maintained. Items included 
in schedules submitted to NARA on or after December 17, 2007, are media 
neutral unless the item is limited to a specific medium. (See 36 CFR 
1225.12(e).)
    No Federal records are authorized for destruction without the 
approval of the Archivist of the United States. This approval is 
granted only after a thorough consideration of their administrative use 
by the agency of origin, the rights of the Government and of private 
persons directly affected by the Government's activities, and whether
