Hazardous Materials: Notice of Applications for New Special Permits, 17538-17539 [2024-05034]

Download as PDF 17538 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 48 / Monday, March 11, 2024 / Notices ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 To assure opportunity for public participation in the international regulatory development process, DOT and NRC are soliciting comments and information pertaining to the draft proposed changes to the IAEA regulations. Submitted comments will be reviewed and added to the draft if considered appropriate by DOT and NRC staff. Comments added to the proposed draft do not constitute a decision to revise SSR–6 (Rev. 1). The focus of this solicitation is to identify issues or concerns with a proposed revised draft of SSR–6 (Rev. 1). Comments requesting changes to paragraphs that do not already have proposed changes in the linked draft will not be considered. That draft (number DS543) can be found online at https://www.iaea.org/resources/safetystandards/draft-standards-for-mscomment. The IAEA requests that any proposal for a change in SSR–6 (Rev. 1) should demonstrate that the proposed change is: • Required to ensure safety and to protect people, property, and the environment from harmful effects of ionizing radiation during the transport of radioactive material. • Needed to define or redefine the level of protection of people, property, and the environment from harmful effects of ionizing radiation during the transport of radioactive material. • Required for consistency within SSR–6 (Rev. 1). • Required as a result of advances in technology. • Needed to improve implementation of SSR–6 (Rev. 1). The IAEA also requests that a submission of an identified problem in SSR–6 (Rev. 1) for which new text is not proposed should also demonstrate a clear link to the criteria outlined above. Comments and proposed changes should reference the particular paragraphs of concern in SSR–6 (Rev. 1). This information, and any associated discussions, will assist DOT in examining the full range of views and alternatives as the Agency develops proposals to be submitted to the IAEA for consideration. DOT has not yet fully harmonized its U.S. regulations with the 2012 and 2018 editions of SSR–6. DOT will follow its normal rulemaking procedures in any action to harmonize requirements for domestic and international transportation of radioactive materials. This call for input to the IAEA process is separate from any future or current domestic rulemakings. II. Public Participation PHMSA and the NRC are jointly seeking comments on issues concerning the changes they have drafted to the requirements in SSR–6 (Rev. 1). The IAEA is considering revisions to the SSR–6 (Rev. 1) regulations as part of its periodic review cycle for a new edition of those requirements. Proposals must be submitted in writing (electronic file in Microsoft Word format preferred). DOT and NRC will review the proposed issues and identified problems. Proposed issues and identified problems from all Member States and International Organizations will be initially considered at the IAEA Transport Safety Standards Committee (TRANSSC) Meeting to be convened by IAEA on June 10–14, 2024, in Vienna, Austria. The subsequent meeting of TRANSSC, to be held in November 2024, will determine whether the aggregate of the accepted proposed changes amounts to a change in requirements that is important in terms of safety. If this is the case, a revision of SSR–6 (Rev. 1) will be initiated by the IAEA. If there is no safety imperative, the issues agreed upon will be considered during the next review cycle scheduled to start in 2027. Issued in Washington, DC, on March 4, 2024. William S. Schoonover, Associate Administrator for Hazardous Materials Safety, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration.
