typical fire probabilistic risk assessment
targets such as electrical cable and
nearby equipment. The experimental
data will be used by the NRC to
determine the adequacy of existing
HEAF ZOIs presented in NUREG/CR–
6850, Appendix M and Supplement 1
and to adjust existing methodology as
necessary. The phase 2 testing will also
focus on the HEAF involving aluminum
components as it pertains to both
increased physical damage states and
electrical conductive products of
combustion concerns. This test program
is also being proposed internationally
through the OECD and the NEA as a
collaborative international nuclear
safety research program.
This document is not intended for
interim use. The NRC will review public
comments received on the document,
incorporate suggested changes as
appropriate, and make the final test plan
available. Consistent with past
experimental programs, the final test
plan will be considered a living
document.
Changes to the final test plan can, and
likely will be made during the testing
phase as insights and observations from
the testing develop that would suggest
changes are necessary to ensure
valuable data from experiments is being
obtained.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 27th day
of July, 2017.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Chief, Fire and External Hazard Analysis

David A. Trissell, General Counsel, at
(202) 789–6820.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June
30, 2017, the Postal Service filed a
notice of market dominant price
adjustment and classification changes in
accordance with 39 U.S.C. 3622 and 39
CFR part 3010.1 On July 3, 2017, Order
No. 3990 established the procedural
schedule for this proceeding, including
a comment deadline of July 20, 2017.2
By rule, the Commission determines, at
a minimum, whether the planned
adjustment is consistent with the price
cap 14 days following the comment
deadline. See 39 CFR 3010.11(d). These
dates are predicated on complete
information being available for parties
to comment on and the Commission to
review. See, e.g., 39 CFR 3010.12(b)(3).3
This case represents a series of changes
relating to the Move Update assessment
charge, where complete information
regarding the potential price cap
impacts of the changes was not available
with the Postal Service’s initial filing,
prompting several Chairman’s
Information Requests.4
1 United States Postal Service Notice of Market
Dominant Price Adjustment and Classification
Changes, June 30, 2017 (Notice).
2 Notice and Order on Price Adjustment for Move
Update, July 3, 2017 (Order No. 3990). Comments
for market dominant rate adjustments are due 20
days after the date of filing, pursuant to 39 CFR
3010.11(a)(5).
3 39 CFR 3010.12(b)(3) requires that the Postal
Service include with its notice of rate adjustment
‘‘{t}he percentage change in rates for each class of
mail calculated as required by § 3010.23.’’ It further
requires that this information ‘‘be supported by
workpapers in which all calculations are shown
and all input values, including current rates, new
rates, and billing determinants, are listed with
citations to the original sources.’’ Id. 39 CFR
3010.23(d)(2) requires that the Postal Service ‘‘make
reasonable adjustments to the billing determinants
to account for the effects of classification changes
such as the introduction, deletion, or redefinition
of rate cells.’’ 39 CFR 3010.23(d)(2). In making those
adjustments, the Postal Service is required to
‘‘identify and explain all adjustments’’ and provide
‘‘{a}ll information and calculations relied upon to
develop the adjustments . . . with an explanation
of why the adjustments are appropriate.’’ Id.
4 The Postal Service proposes an increase to the
Move Update assessment charge, an updated
enforcement method for the charge, and a change
to the threshold for its tolerance of change of
address (COA) errors. Notice at 1; id. n.1. There
have been five Chairman’s Information Requests
issued in this case: Chairman’s Information Request
No. 1, July 5, 2017; Chairman’s Information Request
No. 2, July 7, 2017 (CHIR No. 2); Chairman’s
Information Request No. 3, July 13, 2017 (CHIR No.
3); Chairman’s Information Request No. 4, July 20,
PO 00000

Comments filed July 20, 2017, did not
have the benefit of the Postal Service’s
responses to CHIR No. 3 or CHIR No. 4
(and had only one day to review and
consider the Postal Service’s response to
CHIR No. 2). The Association for Postal
Commerce notes that ‘‘a few elements in
the Postal Service’s filing, and in its
proposed Move Update assessment
process generally, . . . warrant further
explanation.’’ 5
The Commission, due to the potential
importance of this missing information
to the issues of the proceeding (for both
informed comments and the
Commission’s review), finds that
commenters and its own review would
be prejudiced without equitably tolling
the time of filing (and deadlines set by
that time of filing). Therefore, the
Commission finds it necessary to
constructively adjust (toll) the filing
date for Postal Service’s Notice to July
20, 2017, at which time the Postal
Service had provided the bulk of the
information necessary to evaluate the
potential impacts of proposed changes
in its Notice. As a result, commenters
may file additional comments by August
9, 2017.6 Likewise, the date required by
39 CFR 3010.11(d) for the Commission’s
determination shall be August 23, 2017.
It is ordered:
1. Any additional comments are due
by August 9, 2017.
2. The Commission’s determination,
pursuant to 39 CFR 3010.11(d) shall be
filed by August 23, 2017.
3. The Secretary shall arrange for
publication of this order in the Federal
Register.
By the Commission.
Ruth Ann Abrams,
Acting Secretary.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
In its filing with the Commission, the
self-regulatory organization included
statements concerning the purpose of,
and basis for, the proposed rule change
and discussed any comments it received
on the proposed rule change. The text
of those statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below.
The Exchange has prepared summaries,
set forth in sections A, B, and C below,
of the most significant parts of such
statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
In connection with the September 5,
2017 compliance date for shortening of
the standard settlement cycle from T+3
to T+2, the Exchange proposes to (1)
delete Rule 282.65 and Section 703.02
(part 2) of the Listed Company Manual;
(2) delete the preamble and ‘‘T’’
modifier from Rule 282.65T and Section
703.02T of the Listed Company Manual;
and (3) establish the operative date of
Rule 282.65T and Section 703.02T of
the Listed Company Manual as
September 5, 2017.
Background
On September 28, 2016, the Securities
and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’)
proposed amendments to Rule 15c6–
1(a) to shorten the standard settlement
PO 00000
Frm 00083
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
cycle from T+3 to T+2.4 Following this
action by the SEC, the Exchange
adopted new rules with the modifier
‘‘T’’ to reflect a T+2 settlement cycle.5
Because the Exchange would not
implement the new rules until after the
final implementation of T+2, the
Exchange retained the versions of the
rules reflecting T+3 settlement on its
books. Certain of these rules have since
been deleted in connection with the
Exchange’s elimination of non-regular
way trading.6 In order to reduce the
potential for confusion regarding which
version of the rule governs, the
Exchange added explanatory preambles,
provided below.
In particular, the following preamble
was added to the Rule 282.65 and
Section 703.02 (part 2):
‘‘This version of . . . will remain
operative until the Exchange files
separate proposed rule changes as
necessary to establish the operative date
of . . . , to delete this version of . . .
and preamble, and to remove the
preamble text from the version of . . . .
In addition to filing the necessary
proposed rule changes, the Exchange
will announce via Information Memo
the operative date of the deletion of this
Rule and implementation of . . .’’
The following preamble was added to
the Rule 282.65T and Section 703.02T:
‘‘The Exchange will file separate
proposed rule changes to establish the
operative date of . . . , to delete . . .
and the preamble text from . . . , and
to remove the preamble text from the
version of . . . . Until such time, . . .
will remain operative. In addition to
filing the necessary proposed rule
changes, the Exchange will announce
via Information Memo the
implementation of this Rule and the
operative date of the deletion of . . .’’
On March 22, 2017, the SEC adopted
the proposed amendment to Rule 15c6–
1(a) under the Act 7 with a compliance
date of September 5, 2017.8
Proposed Rule Change
In order to comply with the
September 5, 2017, transition to T+2
settlement, the Exchange proposes to:
• Delete Rule 282.65 and Section
703.02 (part 2), including the preambles,
in their entirety;
