Further Information DG–1234 was published in the Federal Register on July 15 2010, (75 FR 41241) for a 60-day public comment period. The public comment period closed on September 10, 2010. RG. 1.82, was first issued in June 1974. The NRC issued revisions to RG 1.82 in November 1985, May 1996, and November 2003 to incorporate gains in the understanding of containment sump performance, particularly debris blockage on the Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) strainers, and provide guidance in VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:42 Mar 30, 2012 Jkt 226001 determining net positive suction head margin for the ECCS and the containment heat removal system. Since the November 2003 revision, (Revision 3), was issued supplemental information has been accumulated pertaining to ECCS performance accounting for in-plant considerations such as generation of debris and chemical effects associated with the debris circulating in the ECCS systems. Additionally, the NRC issued GL 2008– 01, ‘‘Managing Gas Accumulation in Emergency Core Cooling, Decay Heat Removal, and Containment Spray Systems,’’ in January 2008, to address gas accumulation in safety systems. The NRC obtained significant testing and analysis methodology information relative to pump characteristics affected by fluid voiding and gas transport as a function of system flow conditions which are germane to RG 1.82.

Purpose CBSX proposes to amend its Maker fees for transactions in securities priced $1 or greater to further institute a tiered fee structure through which Makers who transact more business on CBSX will pay lower transaction fees. Currently, the Maker fee for transactions in securities priced $1 or greater executed by a market participant that adds two million or more shares of liquidity that day is $0.0016 per share,3 and the Maker fee for transactions in securities priced $1 or greater executed by a market participant that does not add two million or more shares of liquidity that day is $0.0018 per share. CBSX 3 This rate applies to all transactions in securities priced $1 or greater made by the same market participant in any day in which such participant adds two million shares or more of liquidity. Market participants who share a trading acronym or MPID may aggregate their trading activity for purposes of this rate. Qualification for this rate will require that a market participant appropriately indicate his trading acronym and/or MPID in the appropriate field on the order. E:\FR\FM\02APN1.SGM 02APN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    The NRC is issuing a revision to an existing guide in the agency'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.
    Revision 4 of Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.82, ``Water Sources for Long-
Term Recirculation Cooling Following a Loss-of-Coolant Accident,'' was 
issued with a temporary identification as Draft Regulatory Guide, DG-
1234. RG 1.82 describes methods that the NRC staff considers acceptable 
to implement requirements regarding the sumps and suppression pools 
that provide water sources for emergency core cooling, containment heat 
removal, or containment atmosphere cleanup systems. RG 1.82 provides 
guidelines for evaluating the adequacy and the availability of the sump 
or suppression pool for long-term recirculation cooling following a 
loss-of-coolant accident.

II. Further Information

    DG-1234 was published in the Federal Register on July 15 2010, (75 
FR 41241) for a 60-day public comment period. The public comment period 
closed on September 10, 2010. RG. 1.82, was first issued in June 1974. 
The NRC issued revisions to RG 1.82 in November 1985, May 1996, and 
November 2003 to incorporate gains in the understanding of containment 
sump performance, particularly debris blockage on the Emergency Core 
Cooling System (ECCS) strainers, and provide guidance in determining 
net positive suction head margin for the ECCS and the containment heat 
removal system. Since the November 2003 revision, (Revision 3), was 
issued supplemental information has been accumulated pertaining to ECCS 
performance accounting for in-plant considerations such as generation 
of debris and chemical effects associated with the debris circulating 
in the ECCS systems. Additionally, the NRC issued GL 2008-01, 
``Managing Gas Accumulation in Emergency Core Cooling, Decay Heat 
Removal, and Containment Spray Systems,'' in January 2008, to address 
gas accumulation in safety systems. The NRC obtained significant 
testing and analysis methodology information relative to pump 
characteristics affected by fluid voiding and gas transport as a 
function of system flow conditions which are germane to RG 1.82. This 
revision of RG 1.82 includes the latest information, and incorporates 
revised staff regulatory positions reflected in several safety 
evaluations performed upon ECCS performance testing results since the 
RG 1.82 Revision 3 was issued. Public comments on DG-1234 and the staff 
responses to the public comments are available in ADAMS under Accession 
No. ML111330292.
