Administrative Guide for Verifying Compliance With Packaging Requirements for Shipment and Receipt of Radioactive Material, 18871-18872 [2012-7438]

Download as PDF tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 60 / Wednesday, March 28, 2012 / Notices policies and procedures for creating this list are limited in scope and do not establish a process by which the Office can resolve the specialty station status of a particular station, regardless of the purported facts. Since the inception of this process, the Office has stated clearly that it would not play a role in determining the merits of a specialty station claim, noting that ‘‘it should not itself verify the specialty station status of particular stations.’’ 54 FR 38466 (September 18, 1989). The Office has also commented that it periodically provides an updated annotated list so that ‘‘cable systems can make an informed decision as to whether MPAA or any other party might contest the system’s carriage of a particular station on a specialty basis.’’ 56 FR 61056 (November 29, 1991). In light of these policies and practices, there is no support for MPAA’s contention that the Office can make determinations regarding the specialty status of a particular station under the principles underlying Section 411(b). As noted above, the Office received affidavits from 63 broadcast stations for which the owner or licensee of the television station had filed the requested affidavit. Since the publication of the initial list, the Office received 24 additional affidavits, attesting to the specialty station status of the 24 identified stations. Because the Office received a substantial number of late filed affidavits, the Office found it necessary to seek input from the public regarding the asserted specialty station status of these particular stations and allow any interested party to file an objection to these newly listed stations. See 76 FR 69288 (November 8, 2011). No one filed any objections to the television stations listed in this most recent Federal Register publication. As such, these stations shall be duly listed here. The final list of specialty stations, as identified in the affidavits and published herein, shall be applicable to accounting periods beginning on January 1, 2012. Licensing examiners shall refer to the final annotated list in examining a statement of account where a cable system operator claims specialty station status for a particular station. If a cable system operator claims specialty station status for a station not on the published final list, the examiner shall determine whether the owner of the station has filed an affidavit since publication of the list. With regard to the treatment of contested specialty stations after this proceeding concludes, it is important to note that the Licensing Division examiners will look at these stations in VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:29 Mar 27, 2012 Jkt 226001 the same way they have done in the past. That is, if a cable operator claims specialty station status for a contested station on the list, the examiner will inform the operator by letter that a particular party objects to the ‘‘specialty station characterization.’’ See 54 FR 38461, 38464 (September 18, 1989). The cable operator may then file an amended Statement of Account and recalculate royalties, if the operator so chooses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    The NRC is issuing a revision to an existing guide in the NRC's 
``Regulatory Guide'' series. This series was developed to describe and 
make available to the public information such as methods that are 
acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific parts of the 
agency's regulations, techniques that the staff uses in evaluating 
specific problems or postulated accidents, and data that the staff 
needs in its review of applications for permits and licenses.
    This revision to Regulatory Guide 7.7 provides licensees and 
applicants with a method the NRC considers acceptable for meeting the 
administrative requirements for transporting licensed material under 10 
CFR part 71, ``Packaging and Transportation of Radioactive Material'' 
either in a Type B or a Type AF package and receipt, and for opening of 
the package under 10 CFR Part 20, ``Standards for Protection Against 
Radiation.'' The NRC's administrative requirements for the shipment, 
receipt, and opening of a Type B package appear in Subpart J, 
``Precautionary Procedures'' of 10 CFR part 20 and subpart G, 
``Operating Controls and Procedures,'' of 10 CFR part 71.
    The staff developed and published this guidance to provide 
licensees with an acceptable method to satisfy the administrative 
requirements in 10 CFR part 20 and part 71 for transferring, shipping, 
and receiving radioactive material.

II. Further Information

    Revision 1 of Regulatory Guide 7.7 was issued with a temporary 
identification as Draft Regulatory Guide, DG-7007. Draft Regulatory 
Guide, DG-7007, was published in the Federal Register on January 28, 
2011 (76 FR 5215) for a 60 days public comment period. The public 
comment period closed on March 30, 2011. The NRC staff's responses to 
the public comments on DG-7007 are available under ADAMS Accession 
Number ML112160411.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 19th day of March, 2011.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
