Download as PDF 22804 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 79 / Monday, April 25, 2011 / Rules and Regulations Paperwork Reduction Act This policy statement does not contain new or amended information collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing requirements were approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Approval Number 3150–0136. 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 OMB control number. Congressional Review Act In accordance with the Congressional Review Act 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, Office of Management and Budget. Accordingly, the NRC Enforcement Policy is revised to read as follows: NRC Enforcement Policy * * * * * jdjones on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with RULES 9.2 Enforcement Discretion for the Minimum Days Off Requirements of § 26.205(d)(3) This section sets forth the interim policy that the NRC will follow to exercise enforcement discretion for licensees who pursue the alternative approach to the minimum days off (MDO) requirements of § 26.205(d)(3). This alternative approach is consistent with the bases and objectives of 10 CFR part 26, specifically managing cumulative fatigue, and provides licensees improved simplicity and flexibility for work scheduling. This interim policy is only applicable to licensees who inform the NRC of their intent to adopt the alternative approach. Licensees shall comply with all requirements of Subpart I, as applicable, unless explicitly replaced or amended in this interim policy. The alternative approach to the MDO requirements applies to the work hours of covered individuals 1 during normal (e.g., non-outage/emergency) plant operations. This interim policy will remain in place until the implementation date of a revised final rule associated with the MDO 1 The term ‘‘covered workers’’ refers to those individuals indentified in § 26.4(a) who are subject to the requirements in § 26.205. VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:12 Apr 22, 2011 Jkt 223001 requirements in 10 CFR part 26, subpart I. A licensee who informs the NRC of its intent to transition to the alternative approach will receive enforcement discretion, and no enforcement action will be taken for the violation of § 26.205(d)(3). If at any time while the licensee is implementing this alternate approach it does not meet the requirements, as stated in this interim policy, the licensee may be in violation of § 26.205(d)(3) and subject to enforcement action. Once a licensee has transitioned to the alternate approach, it has the option to revert back to the requirement of § 26.205(d)(3); however, the licensee is only allowed one opportunity to do so. A. Actions and Requirements for Transition A licensee must inform the NRC of its intent to transition to the alternative approach. Notification shall be made via a letter to the respective Regional Administrator and shall identify the implementation date which will be set by the licensee. The hours worked prior to the implementation date, must meet the requirement of § 26.205(d)(3), or enforcement action may be taken. Once the NRC has been notified of the implementation date, the licensee can commence its transition to the alternate approach. In order to receive continuous enforcement discretion once the alternate approach is implemented, each covered worker is limited to a weekly average of 54 hours worked, calculated using a rolling window of up to 6 weeks. This alternative is not applicable to unit outages or security system outages. Any instance of an individual’s average weekly work hours exceeding the requirements for enforcement discretion may result in a violation of the MDO requirements. Typically, an instance of an isolated occurrence or occurrences with limited duration would generally be considered either a minor violation or a non-cited violation. B. Required Actions for Transition Back to the MDO Requirement At any time prior to the implementation date of a revised final rule associated with the MDO requirements in 10 CFR part 26, subpart I, ‘‘Managing Fatigue,’’ the licensee has the option to transition back to the MDO requirements. However, the licensee has this option only once. The licensee must submit a written notification to the respective Regional Administrator stating that it is reverting back to compliance with the MDO requirements as specified under § 26.205(d)(3), and PO 00000 Frm 00020 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 shall give the NRC advance notice of its transition date. There will be no enforcement action taken on any MDO violations that occurred while the licensee was implementing the alternate approach, unless the licensee failed to meet the requirements as stated in Section 9.2.A of this policy. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 19th day of April 2011. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Annette L. Vietti-Cook, Secretary of the Commission.

Technical Amendment to List of CBP Preclearance Offices in 
Foreign Countries: Addition of Dublin, Ireland

AGENCY: U.S. Customs and Border Protection, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

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

SUMMARY: This document amends U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 
regulations to reflect that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 
has added a preclearance station in Dublin, Ireland. CBP officers at 
preclearance stations conduct inspections and examinations to ensure 
compliance with U.S. customs, immigration, and agriculture laws, as 
well as other laws enforced by CBP at the U.S. border. Such inspections 
and examinations prior to arrival in the United States generally enable 
travelers to exit the domestic terminal or connect directly to a U.S. 
domestic flight without undergoing further CBP processing.

DATES: Effective Date: April 25, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathleen Conway, Office of Field 
Operations, Preclearance Operations, (202) 344-1759.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    CBP preclearance operations have been in existence since 1952. 
Preclearance facilities are established through the cooperative efforts 
of CBP, foreign government representatives, and the local facility 
authorities and are evidenced with signed preclearance agreements. Each 
facility is staffed with CBP officers responsible for conducting

[[Page 22805]]

inspections and examinations in connection with preclearing passengers, 
crew, and their goods bound for the United States. Generally, travelers 
who are inspected at a preclearance facility are permitted to arrive at 
a U.S. domestic facility and exit the U.S. domestic terminal upon 
arrival or connect directly to a U.S. domestic flight without further 
CBP processing. Preclearance facilities primarily serve to facilitate 
low risk travelers, relieve passenger congestion at federal inspection 
facilities in the United States, and enhance security in the air 
environment through the screening and inspection of travelers prior to 
their arrival in the United States. In Fiscal Year 2010, over 14 
million aircraft travelers were processed at preclearance locations. 
This figure represents more than 16 percent of all commercial aircraft 
travelers cleared by CBP in FY 2010.
    The Agreement Between the Government of the United States of 
America and the Government of Ireland on Air Transport Preclearance was 
signed on November 17, 2008. Preclearance operations began in Dublin, 
Ireland on January 19, 2011. The Dublin preclearance station is open 
for use by commercial flights.
    Section 101.5 of the CBP regulations (19 CFR 101.5) sets forth a 
list of CBP preclearance offices in foreign countries. This document 
amends this section to add Dublin, Ireland to the list of preclearance 
offices.

Inapplicability of Public Notice and Delayed Effective Date 
Requirements

    This amendment reflects the addition of a new CBP preclearance 
office that was established through a signed agreement between the 
United States and the Government of Ireland. Accordingly, pursuant to 5 
U.S.C. 553(b)(B), notice and public procedure are unnecessary. For the 
same reason, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), a delayed effective date 
is not required.

The Regulatory Flexibility Act and Executive Order 12866

    Because no notice of proposed rulemaking is required, the 
provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do 
not apply. This amendment does not meet the criteria for a 
``significant regulatory action'' as specified in Executive Order 
12866.

Signing Authority

    This document is being issued in accordance with 19 CFR 0.2(a).

List of Subjects in 19 CFR Part 101
