ZionSolutions, LLC, Zion Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2
Document Number: 2015-02606
Type: Notice
Date: 2015-02-09
Agency: Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Agencies and Commissions
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing an exemption in response to an October 27, 2014, request from ZionSolutions, LLC (ZS), for Zion Nuclear Power Station (ZNPS), Units 1 and 2 (Docket Nos. 50-295 and 50-304), from the requirement to investigate and report to the NRC when ZS does not receive notification or receipt of a shipment, or part of a shipment, of low-level radioactive waste within 20 days after transfer. ZionSolutions is currently in the process of decommissioning the ZNPS site. Inherent to the decommissioning process, large volumes of slightly contaminated debris are generated and require disposal at distant locations. Historical data from the experiences of other decommissioning reactor sites indicates that rail transportation time to waste disposal facilities frequently exceeded the 20-day reporting requirement. The licensee requested that the time period for it to receive acknowledgement that the shipment has been received by the intended recipient be extended from 20 to 45 days to avoid an excessive administrative burden because of required investigations and reporting arising from rail shipments that frequently take more than 20 days to reach their destination.

FTA Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 Apportionments, Allocations, and Program Information
Document Number: 2015-02555
Type: Notice
Date: 2015-02-09
Agency: Federal Transit Administration, Department of Transportation
On December 16, 2014, President Obama signed the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015 (FY 2015 Appropriations) which provided $11.008 billion in new budget authority including a full fiscal year's funding for the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) programs funded from the General Fund of the Treasury, which funds its administrative expenses as well as its Research, Technical Assistance and Training programs, Capital Investment Grants program, and Grants to the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority. The FY 2015 Appropriations Act follows several continuing resolutions that provided funds for these programs through December 15, 2014. The Highway and Transportation Funding Act of 2014 extended FTA's contract (budget) authority to carry out its formula assistance programs only through May 31, 2015. The act pro-rated the amount of budget authority available for the period October 1, 2014 through May 31, 2015 based on an anticipated full FY 2015 total of $8.595 billion. As a result, FTA may apportion only 8/12th or $5.722 billion in contract authority at this time. When combined with the full-year funding from the General Funded programs listed above, FTA is apportioning or allocating in this notice a total of $8.136 billion of the $11.008 billion of new budget authority provided in the FY 2015 Appropriations. Congress will have to extend the authorization for public transportation beyond May 31, 2015, before additional contract authority can be provided for the formula assistance programs. FTA annually publishes one or more notices apportioning funds appropriated by law. This notice apportions and provides information on the FY 2015 funding currently available for FTA assistance programs, provides program guidance and requirements, and information on several program issues important in the current year. This notice also provides information on FTA's discretionary programs and forthcoming program guidance.

Document Number: 2015-02552
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2015-02-09
Agency: Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, Department of Treasury, Department of the Treasury
The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) is proposing to amend its regulations to permit the use of American viticultural area names as appellations of origin on labels for wines that would otherwise qualify for the use of the AVA name, except that the wines have been fully finished in a State adjacent to the State in which the viticultural area is located, rather than the State in which the labeled viticultural area is located. The proposal would provide greater flexibility in wine production and labeling while still ensuring that consumers are provided with adequate information as to the identity of the wines they purchase. TTB permits the use of viticultural area names as appellations of origin on wine labels, so that vintners may better describe the origin of their wines and consumers may better identify the wines they may purchase.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission or Agency) proposes to add a new system of records, FCC/CGB-4, ``Internet- based Telecommunications Relay Service-User Registration Database (ITRS-URD) Program.'' The FCC's Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau (CGB) will use the information contained in the ITRS-URD Program's system of records to cover the personally identifiable information (PII) that is collected, used, stored, and maintained as part of the management, operations, and functions of the ITRS-URD's Program's database(s). The ITRS-URD Program, which is administered under contract with the FCC, is a database registration system that provides a necessary interface for multiple services, which include, but are not limited to Internet-based Telecommunications Relay Services (ITRS) such as VRS,\1\ IP Relay,\2\ and IPCTS,\3\ for individuals who are deaf, deaf-blind, hard of hearing, and/or have speech disabilities, and who are eligible under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and who have registered to subscribe to/participate in the ITRS-URD Program's services. These various forms of Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS) allow persons who are deaf, deaf-blind, hard of hearing, and/or have a speech disability to engage in communication by wire or radio with one or more individuals, in a manner that is functionally equivalent to the ability of a hearing individual who does not have a speech disability to communicate using voice communication services by wire or radio.
