Pilot Certification and Qualification Requirements for Air Carrier Operations; Correction, 53025-53026 [2013-20962]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 167 / Wednesday, August 28, 2013 / Rules and Regulations consistent with the NRC rule regarding import and export of radioactive waste that has been in place since 1995, and, through its limitation to one-for-one exchanges, has a neutral effect on disposal capacity constraints within the U.S. The NRC staff also notes that the other nine Low-Level Waste Compacts and ten unaffiliated States have not expressed specific views on the waste management practices that apply to disused radioactive sources. By addressing this aspect of the Northwest Compact’s comment in this comment resolution document (published at the same time as the BTP), the NRC is reiterating to licensees the potential limits both to disposal options for disused sources and long-term storage capacity at the licensees’ respective sites. Comment: Three commenters (Northwest Compact, LLW Forum and UDEQ) would like additional language added to the BTP to acknowledge the lack of current disposal options for nonU.S. origin disused radioactive sources. UDEQ commented that ‘‘[t]he importation of sources/devices not directly attributable to U.S.-origin certainly raises a concern regarding disposal site access in Utah.’’ UDEQ suggested adding clarification to the BTP to state that where disposal of such sources is not an option, a licensee ‘‘. . . would still be required to store these sources safely, to meet the financial assurance provisions as applicable in the regulations, and would have to dispose of the sources in an authorized facility at some time. The DEQ staff expects that licensees would consider the additional costs for potential storage and out-of-compact disposal in deciding whether to import sources . . .’’ wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES UDEQ also suggested adding more explanatory text regarding potential storage and disposal considerations and requirements directly into the BTP as a clarifying footnote. The Northwest Compact and LLW Forum raised similar concerns about potential impacts on capacity for domestic long-term storage and ultimate disposal by NRC and Agreement State licensees. Specifically, the LLW Forum observed that ‘‘. . . although NRC may allow certain radioactive sources to be imported into the country under the proposed BTP, the agency should be aware that there may not be a disposal option for the sources depending upon the policies of the particular Compact and/or sited state to which the sources are being returned.’’ Response: A specific license for the import of radioactive waste must ‘‘. . . name an appropriate facility that has agreed to accept and is authorized to possess the waste for management or disposal . . .’’ (10 CFR 110.43(d) VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:52 Aug 27, 2013 Jkt 229001 53025 (emphasis added)) where ‘‘management’’ includes authorization for long-term storage under a company’s NRC or Agreement State issued possession license. A general license (10 CFR 110.27) is contingent on ‘‘the U.S. consignee [being] authorized to receive and possess the material under a general or specific NRC or Agreement State license . . .’’ Among other things, the domestic authorization sets possession limits and provisions for long-term storage. The NRC staff is aware that there may not be disposal options for some sources due to current Compact policies on admittance of out-ofCompact waste. Agreement State and NRC possession license holders historically have not differentiated use or storage of radioactive sources based on origin. In terms of their possession limits and storage capacity, licensees handle the sources identically regardless of origin in order to protect public health and safety. With the ‘‘one-for-one’’ exchange required under the BTP, there should be no increase in the volume of disused sources for management or disposal as a result of the BTP. The application of this BTP is limited to those radioactive sources that have been exchanged on a ‘‘one-for-one’’ basis and after a good faith effort has been made by the importer to determine the origin. Accordingly, it is the NRC’s expectation that the number of disused sources imported by the manufacturer or distributor into the United States must not be greater than the number of new or refurbished sources exported by that manufacturer or distributor. Comment: The Northwest Compact and the UDEQ suggested that the final BTP include language explicitly: ‘‘. . . when the NRC is in the process of developing policy positions on the disposal of disused sources, the NRC should evaluate whether the position is consistent with the policies of interstate compacts that host Part 61 commercial low-level radioactive waste disposal facilities and should also include consultation and communication with affected compacts and sited states.’’ ‘‘. . . informing U.S. licensees to consider the ramifications and costs of the potential need for extended storage in the absence of a recycling or subsequent disposal option for imported sources and devices as well as the legal jurisdictions of low-level radioactive waste compacts in terms of the availability of or access to disposal activities.’’ [FR Doc. 2013–20975 Filed 8–27–13; 8:45 am] Response: The NRC is aware that the costs of long term storage may be an issue for some licensees. For this reason, NRC has added language to the final BTP to reflect the Northwest Compact and State of Utah concerns regarding the availability and access to the limited disposal options currently available. Comment: The LLW Forum expressed that ‘‘the NRC should show greater deference to the LLW Compacts and host states through earlier and more active involvement in the import of potentially non-U.S. origin radioactive sources for disposal.’’ They suggest that: 14 CFR Part 141 PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Response: The NRC staff works within the confines of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and recognizes the authorities granted to the States and Compacts in the Low Level Waste Policy Act of 1985. The LLW Compacts are provided multiple opportunities to comment on publications for rulemaking in Part 110, Part 110 specific license applications for import of radioactive waste, and guidance documents such as the BTP (see preemption response above). Comment: International Isotopes suggested that the final BTP should ‘‘recognize the practice of a ‘‘one-forone’’ source exchange and acknowledge that there are complexities associated the radioactive source supply chain.’’ More specifically, International Isotopes points out that the timing of exports and imports over the course of a timeframe might not align specifically with the ‘‘one-for-one’’ principle on which the BTP is based. Response: The NRC staff recognizes that importing/exporting trends and an importer’s intent are licensee and isotope-specific and will be considered on a case-by-case basis by NRC staff.
