Download as PDF tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 12888 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 42 / Friday, March 2, 2012 / Notices a direct result of ground motion caused by an earthquake centered in Mineral, Virginia, approximately 10 miles from North Anna 1 and 2. The licensee has not determined the root cause of this event, nor has it explained why the reactor tripped on ‘‘negative flux rate’’ rather than on loss of offsite power. (2) Subsequent to the earthquake, the licensee initiated various inspection activities and tests to discover the extent of damage to the nuclear facility, but these inspection and testing activities continue and remain incomplete and non-validated. (3) The licensee had set an overly aggressive schedule for restarting North Anna 1 and 2 that was based on economic considerations rather than safety. (4) The licensee needs to amend its licensing documents, including its licenses and the updated facility analysis report. As a result of ground motion experienced at, and damage sustained to, North Anna 1 and 2, due to the earthquake of August 23, 2011, which is greater than the licensee’s design and safety bases, North Anna 1 and 2, are in an unanalyzed condition and current licensing documents are erroneous and incomplete. As a result, the licensee cannot rely on them to provide reasonable assurance to the NRC that these nuclear reactors can be operated in a safe and reliable manner to protect public health and safety. (5) The licensee needs to conduct new seismic and geological evaluations of the North Anna 1 and 2, site that are independent. These evaluations should ascertain the degree and magnitude of future earthquake events and address a ‘‘worst case’’ earthquake. (6) There are numerous issues with the seismic instrumentation at North Anna 1 and 2, including lack of free field instrumentation, issues associated with conversion of analog data to digital data, issues with lack of on-site personnel with sufficient training in seismic measurements, and potential skewing of ground motion data due to the location of the ‘‘scratch plates.’’ (7) Retrofitting of North Anna 1 and 2, is required due to damage to North Anna 1 and 2, from the earthquake of August 23, 2011. (8) There are concerns with the impact of the August 23, 2011, earthquake on the North Anna 1 and 2, Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) including the fact that 25 casks weighing over 115 tons were not supposed to shift as much as 4.5 inches during a predicted earthquake, validation of the integrity of the seals inside the spent fuel casks, assessing whether spent nuclear fuel VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:01 Mar 01, 2012 Jkt 226001 storage facilities could topple or otherwise sustain significant damage resulting in a release, and assessing whether the licensee’s emergency plans adequately addressed damage to the ISFSI as a result of a severe earthquake. (9) The petitioner is concerned that the licensee cannot be trusted to communicate reliable information to the public or the regulator based on the fact that the licensee in the 1970s failed to promptly disclose the discovery of geological information and was subjected to a monetary fine for the violation. The request is being treated pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.206, ‘‘Requests for action under this subpart,’’ of the Commission’s regulations. The request has been referred to the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. As provided by § 2.206, appropriate action will be taken on this petition within a reasonable time. The petitioner met with the NRR petition review board on September 29, 2011 (transcript at ADAMS Accession No. ML11332A046), and November 7, 2011 (transcript at ADAMS Accession No. ML113530035), to discuss the petition. The results of these discussions were considered in the PRB’s final recommendation to accept the petition for review and in establishing the schedule for the review of the petition. A copy of the petition is available for inspection 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 20852.

Introduction On February 24, 2012, the Postal Service filed a notice announcing that it has entered into an additional International Business Reply Service (IBRS) contract.1 The Postal Service asserts that the instant contract is functionally equivalent to the IBRS 3 baseline contract originally filed in Docket Nos. MC2011–21 and CP2011– 59 and supported by Governors’ Decision No. 08–24 (IBRS 3 baseline contract). Id., Attachment 3. The notice explains that Order No. 684, which established IBRS Competitive Contracts 3 as a product, also authorized functionally equivalent agreements to be included within the product, provided that they meet the requirements of 39 U.S.C. 3633. Id. at 1–2. 1 Notice of the United States Postal Service Filing of a Functionally Equivalent International Business Reply Service Competitive Contract 3 Negotiated Service Agreement, February 24, 2012 (notice). E:\FR\FM\02MRN1.SGM 02MRN1 tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 42 / Friday, March 2, 2012 / Notices The instant contract. The Postal Service filed the instant contract pursuant to 39 CFR 3015.5, and states that the instant contract is also in compliance with Order No. 178. The instant contract will remain in effect until 1 year after its effective date, unless termination of the agreement occurs earlier. Id. The Postal Service shall notify the mailer of the effective date of the instant contract within 30 days of its approval by the Commission. Id., Attachment 1 at 4. The instant contract may be terminated by either party upon 30 days’ written notice. Id., Attachment 1 at 10. In support of its notice, the Postal Service filed four attachments as follows: • Attachment 1—a redacted copy of the contract and applicable annexes; • Attachment 2—a certified statement required by 39 CFR 3015.5(c)(2); • Attachment 3—a redacted copy of Governors’ Decision No. 08–24, which establishes prices and classifications for IBRS contracts, a description of applicable IBRS contracts, formulas for prices, an analysis of the formulas, a certification as to the formulas for prices offered under applicable IBRS contracts, and certification of the Governors’ vote; and • Attachment 4—an application for non-public treatment of materials to maintain redacted portions of the contract and file supporting documents under seal. The notice enumerates the reasons why the instant IBRS Competitive Contract allegedly fits within the Mail Classification Schedule language for IBRS Competitive Contract 3. The Postal Service identifies general contract terms that distinguish the instant contract from the IBRS 3 baseline contract, such as (1) a revised sentence in Article 15 stating that the Postal Service may be required to file information in connection with the contract in other Commission dockets; and (2) an additional Article 30 concerning intellectual property, co-branding, and licensing. Id. at 5. The Postal Service states that the differences affect neither the fundamental service that the Postal Service is offering nor the fundamental structure of the contract. Id. The Postal Service concludes that its filing demonstrates that the new IBRS contract complies with the requirements of 39 U.S.C. 3633 and is functionally equivalent to the IBRS 3 baseline contract filed in Docket Nos. MC2011– 21 and CP2011–59. Id. at 6. Therefore, it requests that the instant contract be included within the IBRS Competitive Contract 3 (MC2011–21) product. Id.

    The instant contract. The Postal Service filed the instant contract 
pursuant to 39 CFR 3015.5, and states that the instant contract is also 
in compliance with Order No. 178. The instant contract will remain in 
effect until 1 year after its effective date, unless termination of the 
agreement occurs earlier. Id. The Postal Service shall notify the 
mailer of the effective date of the instant contract within 30 days of

applicable annexes;

3015.5(c)(2);
     Attachment 3--a redacted copy of Governors' Decision No. 
08-24, which establishes prices and classifications for IBRS contracts, 
a description of applicable IBRS contracts, formulas for prices, an

Governors' vote; and
     Attachment 4--an application for non-public treatment of 
materials to maintain redacted portions of the contract and file 
supporting documents under seal.
    The notice enumerates the reasons why the instant IBRS Competitive 
Contract allegedly fits within the Mail Classification Schedule 
language for IBRS Competitive Contract 3. The Postal Service identifies 
general contract terms that distinguish the instant contract from the 
IBRS 3 baseline contract, such as (1) a revised sentence in Article 15 
stating that the Postal Service may be required to file information in 
connection with the contract in other Commission dockets; and (2) an 
additional Article 30 concerning intellectual property, co-branding, 
and licensing. Id. at 5. The Postal Service states that the differences 
affect neither the fundamental service that the Postal Service is 
offering nor the fundamental structure of the contract. Id.
    The Postal Service concludes that its filing demonstrates that the 
new IBRS contract complies with the requirements of 39 U.S.C. 3633 and 
is functionally equivalent to the IBRS 3 baseline contract filed in 
Docket Nos. MC2011-21 and CP2011-59. Id. at 6. Therefore, it requests 
that the instant contract be included within the IBRS Competitive 
Contract 3 (MC2011-21) product. Id.
