For additional information, see the Direct Final Rule published in the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register. Procedural Background Because NRC considers this action noncontroversial and routine, the NRC is publishing this proposed rule concurrently as a direct final rule in the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register. Adequate protection of public health and safety continues to be ensured. The direct final rule will become effective on June 13, 2011. However, if the NRC receives significant adverse comments on the direct final rule by April 27, 2011, then the NRC will publish a document that withdraws the direct final rule. If the direct final rule is withdrawn, the NRC will address the comments received in response to the proposed revisions in a subsequent final rule. Absent significant modifications to the proposed revisions requiring republication, the NRC will not initiate a second comment period on this action in the event the direct final rule is withdrawn. A significant adverse comment is a comment where the commenter explains why the rule would be inappropriate, including challenges to the rule’s underlying premise or approach, or would be ineffective or unacceptable without a change. A comment is adverse and significant if: (1) The comment opposes the rule and provides a reason sufficient to require a substantive response in a notice-andcomment process. For example, a substantive response is required when: (a) The comment causes the NRC staff to reevaluate (or reconsider) its position or conduct additional analysis; (b) The comment raises an issue serious enough to warrant a substantive response to clarify or complete the record; or (c) The comment raises a relevant issue that was not previously addressed or considered by the NRC staff. E:\FR\FM\28MRP1.SGM 28MRP1 17038 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 59 / Monday, March 28, 2011 / Proposed Rules (2) The comment proposes a change or an addition to the rule, and it is apparent that the rule would be ineffective or unacceptable without incorporation of the change or addition.

    For additional information, see the Direct Final Rule published in 
the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register.

Procedural Background

    Because NRC considers this action noncontroversial and routine, the 
NRC is publishing this proposed rule concurrently as a direct final 
rule in the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register. 
Adequate protection of public health and safety continues to be 
ensured. The direct final rule will become effective on June 13, 2011. 
However, if the NRC receives significant adverse comments on the direct 
final rule by April 27, 2011, then the NRC will publish a document that 
withdraws the direct final rule. If the direct final rule is withdrawn, 
the NRC will address the comments received in response to the proposed 
revisions in a subsequent final rule. Absent significant modifications 
to the proposed revisions requiring republication, the NRC will not 
initiate a second comment period on this action in the event the direct 
final rule is withdrawn.
    A significant adverse comment is a comment where the commenter 
explains why the rule would be inappropriate, including challenges to 
the rule's underlying premise or approach, or would be ineffective or 
unacceptable without a change. A comment is adverse and significant if:
    (1) The comment opposes the rule and provides a reason sufficient 
to require a substantive response in a notice-and-comment process. For 
example, a substantive response is required when:
    (a) The comment causes the NRC staff to reevaluate (or reconsider) 
its position or conduct additional analysis;
    (b) The comment raises an issue serious enough to warrant a 
substantive response to clarify or complete the record; or
    (c) The comment raises a relevant issue that was not previously 
addressed or considered by the NRC staff.

[[Page 17038]]

    (2) The comment proposes a change or an addition to the rule, and 
it is apparent that the rule would be ineffective or unacceptable 
without incorporation of the change or addition.
    (3) The comment causes the NRC staff to make a change (other than 
editorial) to the rule, Certificate of Compliance (CoC), or Technical 
Specifications (TS).
    For additional procedural information and the regulatory analysis, 
see the direct final rule published in the Rules and Regulations 
section of this Federal Register.
