Technical Standard DOE–STD–1095–
2011, Department of Energy
Laboratory Accreditation for External
Dosimetry
AGENCY: Office of Health, Safety and
Security, Department of Energy.
ACTION: Notification of updated
Technical Standard.
The Department of Energy
(DOE or the Department) is issuing
Technical Standard DOE–STD–1095–
2011, Department of Energy Laboratory
Accreditation for External Dosimetry,
January 2011. This standard provides
updated technical criteria for
performance testing for, and provides a
requirement for onsite quality assurance
assessments of, whole body and
extremity dosimetry programs in use at
DOE sites. The testing and assessment
results are used, in part, to determine
whether to accredit dosimetry programs
in accordance with the DOE Laboratory
Accreditation Program (DOELAP). The
effective date for the new Technical
Standard is April 1, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOE
previously administered its laboratory
accreditation program for whole body
external dosimetry pursuant to DOE
Order 5480.15, Department of Energy
Laboratory Accreditation Program for
Personnel Dosimetry, dated December
14, 1987. At that time, DOELAP used
Technical Standards DOE/EH–0027,
Department of Energy Standard for the
Performance Testing of Personnel
Dosimetry Systems, December 1986, and
DOE/EH–0026, Handbook for the
Department of Energy Laboratory
Accreditation Program for Personnel
Dosimetry Systems, December 1986, to
evaluate contractor personnel dosimetry
programs. DOE/EH–0027 was based on
American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) N13.11–1983, American
National Standard—Criteria for Testing
Personnel Dosimetry Performance,
Pacific Northwest Laboratory PNL–
4515, Criteria for Testing Personnel

Jkt 223001
Dosimetry Performance, 1984, and
comments received during peer review
by DOE and DOE contractor personnel.
Both DOELAP Technical Standards
remained in effect through 2010.
On December 14, 1993, DOE
promulgated 10 CFR part 835,
Occupational Radiation Protection, (58
FR 65458), which included a
requirement for DOELAP accreditation
for external dosimetry programs. This
regulatory requirement led to the
cancellation of DOE Order 5480.15.
Technical Standard DOE–STD–1095–95,
Department of Energy Laboratory
Accreditation Program for Personnel
Dosimetry Systems, was published in
December 1995 to establish the criteria
for DOELAP accreditation pursuant to
10 CFR 835.402(b). The recent updating
of ANSI standards for performance
testing whole body dosimeters (ANSI
N13.11–2009, American National
Standard for Dosimetry—Personnel
Dosimetry Performance—Criteria for
Testing) and extremity dosimeters
(ANSI N13.32–2008, American National
Standard—Performance Testing of
Extremity Dosimeters) led DOE to revise
its DOELAP dosimetry Technical
Standards. In planning the revision, it
was decided to make DOE–STD–1095
the primary Technical Standard for
accrediting external dosimetry programs
by cancelling DOE/EH–0026 and –0027
and incorporating both of the recently
updated ANSI standards by reference
into the new DOE Technical Standard.
Other changes include changing
‘‘Personnel Dosimetry Systems’’ to
‘‘External Dosimetry’’ in the title of the
new Technical Standard, providing for
limited retesting, and adding an
incentive for obtaining an exemption
from a future onsite assessment. The
change to the Technical Standard’s title
was made to better identify the
Standard’s purpose and does not change
the requirement for dosimetry program
accreditation provided in 10 CFR
835.402(b). The guidance information in
DOE/EH–0026 and –0027 will be
updated and published in a
supplemental, nonregulatory document.
This Technical Standard is effective
on April 1, 2011.
Issued in Washington, DC.

25–438–SC]
Special Conditions: Boeing, Model
747–8 Series Airplanes; Door 1
Extendable Length Escape Slide
AGENCY: Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final special conditions.
SUMMARY: These special conditions are
issued for Boeing Model 747–8
airplanes. These airplanes will have a
novel or unusual design feature
associated with an extendable length
escape slide. The applicable
airworthiness regulations do not contain
adequate or appropriate safety standards
for this design feature. These special
conditions contain the additional safety
standards that the Administrator
considers necessary to establish a level
of safety equivalent to that established
by the existing airworthiness standards.
Additional special conditions will be
issued for other novel or unusual design
features of Boeing 747–8 airplanes.
DATES: Effective Date: August 1, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On November 4, 2005, The Boeing
Company, PO Box 3707, Seattle, WA,
98124, applied for an amendment to
Type Certificate Number A20WE to
include the new Model 747–8 series
passenger airplane. Boeing later applied
for, and was granted, an extension of
time for the type certificate, which
changed the effective application date to
December 31, 2006. The Model 747–8 is
a derivative of the 747–400. The Model
747–8 is a four-engine jet transport
airplane that will have a maximum
takeoff weight of 975,000 pounds, new
General Electric GEnx –2B67 engines,
and the capacity to carry 605
passengers.
Type Certification Basis
Under the provisions of Title 14, Code
of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 21.101,
Boeing must show that the Model 747–
8 (hereafter referred as 747–8) meets the
applicable provisions of part 25,
