Statistical Terminology and Notation for Special Nuclear Materials Control and Accountability
Document Number: 2016-26911
Type: Notice
Date: 2016-11-08
Agency: Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Agencies and Commissions
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is withdrawing Regulatory Guide (RG) 5.3, ``Statistical Terminology and Notation for Special Nuclear Materials Control and Accountability,'' that was issued in 1973. This document is being withdrawn in part because regulatory guidance is not needed for common statistical terminology and notation information that is commonly used in the field of statistics. Further, RG 5.3 provided guidance on the term ``limits of error'' as defined in the NRC's regulations. This term is no longer a defined regulatory term and is no longer used by the NRC except in certain transaction reports. Also, RG 5.3 endorsed a 1972 American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard that was later withdrawn. Therefore, the NRC finds that RG 5.3 is obsolete.

Changes to the Coastal Zone Management Act Program Change Procedures
Document Number: 2016-26680
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2016-11-08
Agency: Department of Commerce, National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) wants to provide states and NOAA with a more efficient process for making changes to state coastal management programs (``management programs''). NOAA proposes to revise the Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) program change regulations and associated guidance (Program Change Guidance (July 1996) and Addendum (November 2013)) within our regulations. Under the CZMA, a coastal state may not implement any amendment, modification, or other change as part of its approved management program unless the amendment, modification, or other change is approved by the Secretary of Commerce under this subsection. Once NOAA approves the incorporation of a change into a management program, any new or amended management program enforceable policies are applied to federal actions through the CZMA federal consistency provision. This proposed rule addresses the issues raised in NOAA's Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 73 FR 29093 (May 20, 2008) (ANPR) to: Provide a more efficient process for states and NOAA to make changes to state management programs; remove unnecessary requirements in the current regulations; establish program change documentation that all states would adhere to; continue to ensure that federal agencies and the public have an opportunity to comment to NOAA on a state's proposed change to its management program; and comply with the requirements of the CZMA and other applicable federal law. The proposed rule also addresses comments submitted on the ANPR.

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to update and reissue a current DHS system of records titled, ``DHS/United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)-005 Intercountry Adoptions Security'' system of records. DHS/USCIS collects, uses, and maintains Intercountry Adoptions Security records on prospective adoptive parents and other individuals associated with an intercountry adoption-related application or petition. DHS/USCIS is updating this system of records to: Clarify the information technology used to process intercountry adoption-based applications and petitions; update the categories of individuals in the system; clarify the categories of records in the system; update the legal authorities for the intercountry adoption immigration process from countries that are party to the Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption (Hague Adoption Convention) and from non-Hague Adoption Convention (orphan) countries; reflect an increased retention period for intercountry adoption records; include all sources of records for adoption-based forms used in the Hague Adoption Convention process and non-Hague (orphan) process; and add Routine Use R, which permits the disclosure of information to the Department of Health and Human Services. Additionally, this notice includes non-substantive changes to simplify the formatting and text of the previously published notice. This updated system will be included in the Department of Homeland Security's inventory of record systems.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) received and is considering approval of four amendment requests. The amendment requests are for Crystal River Unit 3 Nuclear Generating Plant; Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, Unit Nos. 1 and 2; Vogtle Electric Generating Plant, Units 3 and 4; and Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3. For each amendment request, the NRC proposes to determine that they involve no significant hazards consideration. Because each amendment request contains sensitive unclassified non-safeguards information (SUNSI) and/or safeguards information (SGI), an order imposes procedures to obtain access to SUNSI and SGI for contention preparation.
