II. Discussion
On September 8, 2023, the NRC
requested comments on a regulatory
basis titled ‘‘Increased Enrichment of
Conventional and Accident Tolerant
Fuel Designs for Light-Water Reactors’’
to support a rulemaking that would
amend the NRC’s regulations to
facilitate the use of light-water reactor
fuel containing uranium enriched to
greater than 5.0 weight percent
uranium-235 (U–235) in part 50 of title
10 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(10 CFR), ‘‘Domestic Licensing of
Production and Utilization Facilities,’’
10 CFR part 51, ‘‘Environmental
Protection Regulations for Domestic
Licensing and Related Regulatory
Functions,’’ and 10 CFR part 71,
‘‘Packaging and Transportation of
Radioactive Material.’’ This rulemaking
would allow the NRC to prepare for the
effective and efficient licensing of
applications using fuels enriched to
greater than 5.0 and less than 20.0
weight percent U–235 without
compromising reasonable assurance of
adequate protection of public health and
safety, reduce the need for exemptions
from existing regulations and license
amendment requests, provide licensees
operational flexibility and certainty in
licensing of accident tolerant fuel, and
support the principles of good
regulation. The rule changes would
apply to any light-water power reactor
application submitted to the NRC under
10 CFR part 50 and part 52, ‘‘Licenses,
Certifications, and Approvals for
Nuclear Power Plants.’’
The public comment period was
originally scheduled to close on
November 22, 2023. The NRC has
decided to extend the public comment
period on this document until January
22, 2024, to allow more time for
members of the public to submit their
comments.
The NRC may post materials related
to this document, including public
comments, on the Federal rulemaking
website at https://www.regulations.gov
under Docket ID NRC–2020–0034. In
addition, the Federal rulemaking

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking

AGENCY:
The FAA proposes to adopt a
new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Airbus Canada Limited
Partnership Model BD–500–1A10 and
BD–500–1A11 airplanes. This proposed
AD was prompted by a report of
possible chafing of a power harness at
fuselage frame (FR) 65. This proposed
AD would require rerouting the power
harness, as specified in a Transport
Canada AD, which is proposed for
incorporation by reference. The FAA is
proposing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.
DATES: The FAA must receive comments
on this proposed AD by December 21,
2023.
ADDRESSES: You may send comments,
using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following
