The loss of the various barriers led to the release of radioactive materials, which further hampered operator efforts to arrest the accidents and ultimately led to the contamination of large areas surrounding the plant. Fortunately, the evacuation of local populations minimized the immediate danger to public health and safety from the loss of control of the large amount of radioactive materials within the reactor cores. The events at Fukushima reinforced the importance of reliable operation of hardened containment vents during emergency conditions, particularly, for small containments such as the Mark I and Mark II designs. On March 12, 2012, the NRC issued Order EA–12–050 1 requiring the Licensees identified in Attachment 1 to this order to implement requirements for a reliable hardened containment venting system (HCVS) for Mark I and Mark II containments. Order EA–12–050 required licensees of BWR facilities with Mark I and Mark II containments to install a reliable HCVS to support strategies for controlling containment pressure and preventing core damage following an event that causes a loss of heat removal systems (e.g., an extended loss of electrical power). The NRC determined that the issuance of EA–12–050 and implementation of the requirements of that order were necessary to provide reasonable assurance of adequate protection of the public health and safety. While developing the requirements for a reliable HCVS in Order EA–12– 050, the NRC acknowledged that questions remained about maintaining containment integrity and limiting the release of radioactive materials if the venting systems were used during severe accident conditions. The NRC staff presented options to address these issues, including the possible use of engineered filters to control releases, for Commission consideration in SECY–12– 0157, ‘‘Consideration of Additional Requirements for Containment Venting Systems for Boiling Water Reactors With Mark I and Mark II Containments’’ (issued November 26, 2012). Option 2 in SECY–12–0157 was to modify EA–12– 050 to require severe accident capable vents (i.e., a reliable HCVS capable of operating under severe accident conditions). Other options discussed in SECY–12–0157 included the installation 1 ‘‘Order Modifying Licenses With Regard To Reliable Hardened Containment Vents (Effective Immediately),’’ EA–12–050 (March 12, 2012) (ADAMS Accession No. ML12056A043). VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:45 Sep 17, 2013 Jkt 229001 of engineered filtered containment venting systems (Option 3) and the development of a severe accident confinement strategy (Option 4). In the Staff Requirements Memorandum (SRM) for SECY–12–0157, dated March 19, 2013, the Commission approved Option 2 and directed the staff to issue a modification to Order EA–12–050 requiring licensees subject to that order to ‘‘upgrade or replace the reliable hardened vents required by Order EA– 12–050 with a containment venting system designed and installed to remain functional during severe accident conditions.’’ The requirements in this order, in addition to providing a reliable HCVS to assist in preventing core damage when heat removal capability is lost (the purpose of EA–12–050), will ensure that venting functions are also available during severe accident conditions. Severe accident conditions include the elevated temperatures, pressures, radiation levels, and combustible gas concentrations, such as hydrogen and carbon monoxide, associated with accidents involving extensive core damage, including accidents involving a breach of the reactor vessel by molten core debris. This order requires installation of reliable hardened vents that will not only assist in preventing core damage when heat removal capability is lost, but will also function in severe accident conditions (i.e., when core damage has occurred). The safety improvements to Mark I and Mark II containment venting systems required by this order are intended to increase confidence in maintaining the containment function following core damage events. Although venting the containment during severe accident conditions could result in the release of radioactive materials, venting could also prevent containment structural and gross penetration leakage failures due to overpressurization that would hamper accident management (e.g., continuing efforts to cool core debris) and ultimately result in larger, uncontrolled releases of radioactive material. On August 28, 2013, NEI submitted NEI 13–02, ‘‘Industry Guidance for Compliance with Order EA–13–109,’’ Revision C2 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13247A403), to provide specification for the development, implementation, and maintenance of guidance in response to the order regarding reliable hardened containment vents capable of operation under severe accident conditions. This ISG endorses, with clarifications and exceptions, the methodologies described in the industry guidance document NEI 13–02. PO 00000 Frm 00069 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 57419 Proposed Action By this action, the NRC is requesting public comments on draft JLD–ISG– 2013–02. This draft JLD–ISG proposes guidance related to requirements contained in Order EA–13–109, ‘‘Order Modifying Licenses With Regard to Reliable Hardened Containment Vents Capable of Operation Under Severe Accident Conditions’’. The NRC staff will make a final determination regarding issuance of the JLD–ISG after it considers any public comments received in response to this request.

Supplemental Information IV. Commission Action V. Ordering Paragraphs I. Introduction Background. On September 10, 2013, the Postal Service filed notice, pursuant to 39 CFR 3010.40 et seq., announcing E:\FR\FM\18SEN1.SGM 18SEN1 57420 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 18, 2013 / Notices that it has entered into a bilateral agreement with Korea Post (Agreement), along with a Type 2 rate adjustment.1 It asks that the Commission include the Agreement within the Inbound MarketDominant Multi-Service Agreements with Foreign Postal Operators I (MC2010–35) product on grounds of functional equivalence. This Order provides public notice of the Postal Service’s Notice, invites comments, and takes other administrative actions. II. The Postal Service’s Filings emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES Compliance with filing requirements. In addition to the Notice, the Postal Service filed an application for nonpublic treatment of materials filed under seal (Attachment 1); a redacted copy of the Korea Post Agreement (Attachment 2); and a redacted Excel file with supporting financial documentation. Notice at 3. The Postal Service also filed unredacted copies of the Agreement and the supporting financial documentation under seal. Id. The Agreement is the most recent in a series of agreements the Postal Service has proposed for inclusion within Inbound Market-Dominant MultiService Agreements with Foreign Postal Operators I (MC2010–35).2 The Postal Service identifies Korea Post, the postal operator for the Republic of Korea, and the Postal Service as the parties to the Agreement. Id. at 4. The Postal Service describes the Agreement as establishing a service for delivery confirmation scanning with Letter Post small packets. Id. It asserts this service is similar to the service for delivery confirmation scanning with Letter Post small packets established by the China Post 2010 Agreement and other agreements approved for inclusion with the product. Id. It states that the Type 2 rate adjustment results in an improvement over default rates established under the Universal Postal Union Acts for inbound letter post items. Id. at 1. The Postal Service identifies October 1, 2013 as the intended effective date; states that its Notice provides the requisite advance notice; identifies a Postal Service official as a contact person; provides financial data and information in the redacted workpapers; describes expected operational improvements; and addresses why the 1 Notice of United States Postal Service of Type 2 Rate Adjustment, and Notice of Filing Functionally Equivalent Bilateral Agreement with Korea Post, September 10, 2013 (collectively, Notice). 2 See Notice at 1–2 for previous agreements. The Postal Service uses the Singapore Post Agreement for purposes of identifying differences in the Agreement. VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:45 Sep 17, 2013 Jkt 229001 Agreement will not result in unreasonable harm to the marketplace. Id. at 4–7. Data collection and performance reporting proposals. The Postal Service proposes that no special data collection plan be created for the Agreement because it intends to report information on the Agreement through the Annual Compliance Report. Id. at 7. With respect to performance measurement, the Postal Service asks that it be excepted from separate reporting under 39 CFR 3055.3(a)(3), and cites the Commission’s granting of similar exceptions for other agreements in support of its proposal. Id. at 7–8. The Postal Service further requests, pursuant to 39 CFR 3055.3(a)(3), that the Commission approve an exception to the performance reporting requirements for all agreements added to the Mail Classification Schedule as Inbound Market-Dominant Multi-Service Agreements with Foreign Postal Operators 1 because the performance of the products covered by those agreements is already included in the measurement of other products. Id. at 12. Statutory criteria. The Postal Service states that under 39 U.S.C. 3622(c)(10), the criteria for Commission review are whether the Agreement (1) improves the Postal Service’s net financial position or enhances performance of operational functions; (2) will not cause unreasonable harm to the marketplace; and (3) will be available on public and reasonable terms to similarly situated mailers. Id. at 8. It states that it addresses the first two criteria in its Notice and views the third criterion as inapplicable, given Korea Post’s status as the designated operator for Letter Post originating in the Republic of Korea. Id. Functional equivalence. In support of a finding of functional equivalence, the Postal Service states that the terms of the Agreement fit within the proposed Mail Classification Schedule (MCS) language for Inbound Market-Dominant Multi-Service Agreements with Foreign Postal Operators 1, so the Agreement and the agreements previously included within this product conform to a common description. Id. at 9. The Postal Service also states that the Agreement and referenced agreements constructed from a similar template and contain many similar terms and conditions, including establishing a service for delivery confirmation scanning with Letter Post small packets; are with foreign postal operators; and have cost characteristics, as they relate to services for delivery confirmation scanning with PO 00000 Frm 00070 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Letter Post small packets, that are similar. Id. at 9–10. The Postal Service identifies two material differences between the Agreement and the Singapore Post Agreement. Article 8, Paragraph 1 provides that the Agreement may be terminated for good cause if a party fails to make timely and full payment of any undisputed invoice of portion thereof. Id. at 11. Annex 2 to the Agreement contains a section related to interest on past due undisputed invoices and portions thereof for inbound mailstreams. Id. The Postal Service states that these differences do not detract from the conclusion that the Korea Post Agreement is functionally equivalent to the Singapore Post 2011 Agreement and other agreements in the Inbound Market-Dominant MultiService Agreements with Foreign Postal Operators 1 product. Id. III. Supplemental Information The Notice states: ‘‘The agreement’s inbound market dominant rates are planned to become effective on October 1, 2013. Public notice of these rates is being given through this Notice at least 45 days before the effective date.’’ Id. at 3.3 Given the filing date of the Notice, please reconcile these two statements. A response to this inquiry is due no later than September 16, 2013. IV. Commission Action The Commission, in conformance with rule 3010.44, establishes Docket No. R2013–9 to consider matters raised by the Notice.

I. Introduction

    Background. On September 10, 2013, the Postal Service filed notice, 
pursuant to 39 CFR 3010.40 et seq., announcing

[[Page 57420]]

that it has entered into a bilateral agreement with Korea Post 
(Agreement), along with a Type 2 rate adjustment.\1\ It asks that the 
Commission include the Agreement within the Inbound Market-Dominant 
Multi-Service Agreements with Foreign Postal Operators I (MC2010-35) 
product on grounds of functional equivalence. This Order provides 
public notice of the Postal Service's Notice, invites comments, and 
takes other administrative actions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Notice of United States Postal Service of Type 2 Rate 
Adjustment, and Notice of Filing Functionally Equivalent Bilateral 
Agreement with Korea Post, September 10, 2013 (collectively, 
Notice).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. The Postal Service's Filings

    Compliance with filing requirements. In addition to the Notice, the 
Postal Service filed an application for non-public treatment of 
materials filed under seal (Attachment 1); a redacted copy of the Korea 
Post Agreement (Attachment 2); and a redacted Excel file with 
supporting financial documentation. Notice at 3. The Postal Service 
also filed unredacted copies of the Agreement and the supporting 
financial documentation under seal. Id.
    The Agreement is the most recent in a series of agreements the 
Postal Service has proposed for inclusion within Inbound Market-
Dominant Multi-Service Agreements with Foreign Postal Operators I 
(MC2010-35).\2\ The Postal Service identifies Korea Post, the postal 
operator for the Republic of Korea, and the Postal Service as the 
parties to the Agreement. Id. at 4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See Notice at 1-2 for previous agreements. The Postal 
Service uses the Singapore Post Agreement for purposes of 
identifying differences in the Agreement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Postal Service describes the Agreement as establishing a 
service for delivery confirmation scanning with Letter Post small 
packets. Id. It asserts this service is similar to the service for 
delivery confirmation scanning with Letter Post small packets 
established by the China Post 2010 Agreement and other agreements 
approved for inclusion with the product. Id. It states that the Type 2 
rate adjustment results in an improvement over default rates 
established under the Universal Postal Union Acts for inbound letter 
post items. Id. at 1.
    The Postal Service identifies October 1, 2013 as the intended 
effective date; states that its Notice provides the requisite advance 
notice; identifies a Postal Service official as a contact person; 
provides financial data and information in the redacted workpapers; 
describes expected operational improvements; and addresses why the 
Agreement will not result in unreasonable harm to the marketplace. Id. 
at 4-7.
    Data collection and performance reporting proposals. The Postal 
Service proposes that no special data collection plan be created for 
the Agreement because it intends to report information on the Agreement 
through the Annual Compliance Report. Id. at 7. With respect to 
performance measurement, the Postal Service asks that it be excepted 
from separate reporting under 39 CFR 3055.3(a)(3), and cites the 
Commission's granting of similar exceptions for other agreements in 
support of its proposal. Id. at 7-8. The Postal Service further 
requests, pursuant to 39 CFR 3055.3(a)(3), that the Commission approve 
an exception to the performance reporting requirements for all 
agreements added to the Mail Classification Schedule as Inbound Market-
Dominant Multi-Service Agreements with Foreign Postal Operators 1 
because the performance of the products covered by those agreements is 
already included in the measurement of other products. Id. at 12.
    Statutory criteria. The Postal Service states that under 39 U.S.C. 
3622(c)(10), the criteria for Commission review are whether the 
Agreement (1) improves the Postal Service's net financial position or 
enhances performance of operational functions; (2) will not cause 
unreasonable harm to the marketplace; and (3) will be available on 
public and reasonable terms to similarly situated mailers. Id. at 8. It 
states that it addresses the first two criteria in its Notice and views 
the third criterion as inapplicable, given Korea Post's status as the 
designated operator for Letter Post originating in the Republic of 
Korea. Id.
    Functional equivalence. In support of a finding of functional 
equivalence, the Postal Service states that the terms of the Agreement 
fit within the proposed Mail Classification Schedule (MCS) language for 
Inbound Market-Dominant Multi-Service Agreements with Foreign Postal 
Operators 1, so the Agreement and the agreements previously included 
within this product conform to a common description. Id. at 9. The 
Postal Service also states that the Agreement and referenced agreements 
constructed from a similar template and contain many similar terms and 
conditions, including establishing a service for delivery confirmation 
scanning with Letter Post small packets; are with foreign postal 
operators; and have cost characteristics, as they relate to services 
for delivery confirmation scanning with Letter Post small packets, that 
are similar. Id. at 9-10.
    The Postal Service identifies two material differences between the 
Agreement and the Singapore Post Agreement. Article 8, Paragraph 1 
provides that the Agreement may be terminated for good cause if a party 
fails to make timely and full payment of any undisputed invoice of 
portion thereof. Id. at 11. Annex 2 to the Agreement contains a section 
related to interest on past due undisputed invoices and portions 
thereof for inbound mailstreams. Id. The Postal Service states that 
these differences do not detract from the conclusion that the Korea 
Post Agreement is functionally equivalent to the Singapore Post 2011 
Agreement and other agreements in the Inbound Market-Dominant Multi-
Service Agreements with Foreign Postal Operators 1 product. Id.

III. Supplemental Information

    The Notice states: ``The agreement's inbound market dominant rates 
are planned to become effective on October 1, 2013. Public notice of 
these rates is being given through this Notice at least 45 days before 
the effective date.'' Id. at 3.\3\ Given the filing date of the Notice, 
please reconcile these two statements. A response to this inquiry is 
due no later than September 16, 2013.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See also 39 CFR 3010.44(b) (``[N]o rate shall take effect 
until 45 days after the Postal Service files a notice of rate 
adjustment specifying that rate.'').
