Your request should state that the NRC does not routinely edit comment submissions to remove such information before making the comment submissions available to the public or entering the comment into ADAMS. II. Rulemaking Procedure Because the NRC considers this action to be non-controversial, the NRC is publishing this proposed rule concurrently with a direct final rule in the Rules and Regulations section of this issue of the Federal Register. The direct final rule will become effective on November 19, 2024. However, if the NRC receives any significant adverse comment by October 7, 2024, then the NRC will publish a document that withdraws the direct final rule. If the direct final rule is withdrawn, the NRC will address the comments in a subsequent final rule. In general, absent significant modifications to the proposed revisions requiring republication, the NRC will not initiate a second comment period on this action in the event the direct final rule is withdrawn. A significant adverse comment is a comment where the commenter explains why the rule would be inappropriate, including challenges to the rule’s underlying premise or approach, or would be ineffective or unacceptable without a change. A comment is adverse and significant if: (1) The comment opposes the rule and provides a reason sufficient to require a substantive response in a notice-and- comment process. For example, a substantive response is required when: (a) The comment causes the NRC to reevaluate (or reconsider) its position or conduct additional analysis; (b) The comment raises an issue serious enough to warrant a substantive response to clarify or complete the record; or (c) The comment raises a relevant issue that was not previously addressed or considered by the NRC. (2) The comment proposes a change or an addition to the rule, and it is apparent that the rule would be ineffective or unacceptable without incorporation of the change or addition. (3) The comment causes the NRC to make a change (other than editorial) to the rule, certificate of compliance, or technical specifications. For a more detailed discussion of the proposed rule changes and associated analyses, see the direct final rule published in the Rules and Regulations section of this issue of the Federal Register. III. Background Section 218(a) of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, as amended, requires that ‘‘[t]he Secretary [of the Department of Energy] shall establish a demonstration program, in cooperation with the private sector, for the dry storage of spent nuclear fuel at civilian nuclear power reactor sites, with the objective of establishing one or more technologies that the [Nuclear Regulatory] Commission may, by rule, approve for use at the sites of civilian nuclear power reactors without, to the maximum extent practicable, the need for additional site-specific approvals by the Commission.’’ Section 133 of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act states, in part, that ‘‘[t]he Commission shall, by rule, 72345 establish procedures for the licensing of any technology approved by the Commission under Section 219(a) [sic: 218(a)] for use at the site of any civilian nuclear power reactor.’’ To implement this mandate, the Commission approved dry storage of spent nuclear fuel in NRC-approved casks under a general license by publishing a final rule that added a new subpart K in part 72 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) entitled ‘‘General License for Storage of Spent Fuel at Power Reactor Sites’’ (55 FR 29181; July 18, 1990). This rule also established a new subpart L in 10 CFR part 72 entitled ‘‘Approval of Spent Fuel Storage Casks,’’ which contains procedures and criteria for obtaining NRC approval of spent fuel storage cask designs. The NRC subsequently issued a final rule on November 21, 2008 (73 FR 70587) that approved the NAC International, Inc. MAGNASTOR® Storage System design and added it to the list of NRC-approved cask designs in § 72.214 as Certificate of Compliance No. 1031. IV. Plain Writing The Plain Writing Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111–274) requires Federal agencies to write documents in a clear, concise, and well-organized manner. The NRC has written this document to be consistent with the Plain Writing Act as well as the Presidential Memorandum, ‘‘Plain Language in Government Writing,’’ published June 10, 1998 (63 FR 31885). The NRC requests comment on the proposed rule with respect to clarity and effectiveness of the language used. V.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Election Campaign Act, 52 U.S.C. 30101–45 (the ‘‘Act’’), and Commission regulations require political committees to report ‘‘all receipts’’ 1 and ‘‘all disbursements.’’ 2 Specifically, 52 U.S.C. 30104(b)(2) requires political committees to report both the ‘‘total amount of all receipts’’ generally and the ‘‘total amount of all receipts’’ in certain specified categories, namely: contributions; loans; Federal funds; rebates; refunds; offsets to operating expenditures; transfers from affiliated committees (and, for political party committees, transfers from another political party committee regardless of whether it is affiliated); and dividends, interest, and ‘‘other forms of receipts.’’ 3 Through a series of advisory opinions, the Commission has concluded that an equal-value exchange of mailing lists is neither a contribution, donation, or transfer of funds or any other thing of value.4 Therefore, it is ‘‘a non-reportable event.’’ 5 Then, in REG 2003–03 (Mailing Lists), the Commission proposed, and ultimately declined, to issue new regulations on mailing list sales, rentals, 1 52 U.S.C. 30104(b)(2); see also 11 CFR 104.3(a)(2)(ix). 2 52 U.S.C. 30104(b)(4); see also 11 CFR 104.3(b). 3 52 U.S.C. 30104(b)(2).

In the notice of proposed rulemaking, the Commission proposed ‘‘to adopt formally its historical approach . . . or to modify those approaches . . . and to provide candidates and political committees with more comprehensive guidance on commercial transactions involving mailing lists.’’ 6 For equalvalue exchanges, the Commission proposed to treat them neither as a contribution nor a reportable receipt if the exchange satisfies three elements.7 First, the parties must ascertain in advance the ‘‘usual and normal charge’’ for the mailing list.8 Second, the mailing lists must be of ‘‘equal value.’’ 9 And third, the mailing list exchange must be a ‘‘bona fide arm’s length transaction with commercially reasonable terms.’’ 10 After reviewing the comments received on the proposed rule and holding a public hearing, the Commission decided not to proceed to final rules.11 In doing so, the Commission relied on comments asserting that the appropriate factors for determining the usual and normal charge and whether a transaction is commercially reasonable will ‘‘vary considerably depending upon the circumstances.’’ 12 Because the Commission could not conclude that any particular test would be ‘‘sufficiently flexible and comprehensive to address all circumstances to which the proposed rules would apply,’’ it terminated the rulemaking through a Notice of Disposition.13 6 Mailing Lists of Political Committees, 68 FR 52531, 52532 (Sept. 4, 2003). 7 Id. at 52535. 8 Id. 9 Id. 10 Id. 11 Mailing Lists of Political Committees, 68 FR 64571, 64571–72 (Nov. 14, 2003). 12 Id. at 64572. 13 Id.

II. Rulemaking Procedure

    Because the NRC considers this action to be non-controversial, the 
NRC is publishing this proposed rule concurrently with a direct final 
rule in the Rules and Regulations section of this issue of the Federal 
Register. The direct final rule will become effective on November 19, 
2024. However, if the NRC receives any significant adverse comment by 
October 7, 2024, then the NRC will publish a document that withdraws 
the direct final rule. If the direct final rule is withdrawn, the NRC 
will address the comments in a subsequent final rule. In general, 
absent significant modifications to the proposed revisions requiring 
republication, the NRC will not initiate a second comment period on 
this action in the event the direct final rule is withdrawn.
    A significant adverse comment is a comment where the commenter 
explains why the rule would be inappropriate, including challenges to 
the rule's underlying premise or approach, or would be ineffective or 
unacceptable without a change. A comment is adverse and significant if:
    (1) The comment opposes the rule and provides a reason sufficient 
to require a substantive response in a notice-and-comment process. For 
example, a substantive response is required when:
    (a) The comment causes the NRC to reevaluate (or reconsider) its 
position or conduct additional analysis;
    (b) The comment raises an issue serious enough to warrant a 
substantive response to clarify or complete the record; or
    (c) The comment raises a relevant issue that was not previously 
addressed or considered by the NRC.
    (2) The comment proposes a change or an addition to the rule, and 
it is apparent that the rule would be ineffective or unacceptable 
without incorporation of the change or addition.
    (3) The comment causes the NRC to make a change (other than 
editorial) to the rule, certificate of compliance, or technical 
specifications.
    For a more detailed discussion of the proposed rule changes and 
associated analyses, see the direct final rule published in the Rules 
and Regulations section of this issue of the Federal Register.

III. Background

    Section 218(a) of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, as amended, 
requires that ``[t]he Secretary [of the Department of Energy] shall 
establish a demonstration program, in cooperation with the private 
sector, for the dry storage of spent nuclear fuel at civilian nuclear 
power reactor sites, with the objective of establishing one or more 
technologies that the [Nuclear Regulatory] Commission may, by rule, 
approve for use at the sites of civilian nuclear power reactors 
without, to the maximum extent practicable, the need for additional 
site-specific approvals by the Commission.'' Section 133 of the Nuclear 
Waste Policy Act states, in part, that ``[t]he Commission shall, by 
rule, establish procedures for the licensing of any technology approved 
by the Commission under Section 219(a) [sic: 218(a)] for use at the 
site of any civilian nuclear power reactor.''
    To implement this mandate, the Commission approved dry storage of 
spent nuclear fuel in NRC-approved casks under a general license by 
publishing a final rule that added a new subpart K in part 72 of title 
10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) entitled ``General 
License for Storage of Spent Fuel at Power Reactor Sites'' (55 FR 
29181; July 18, 1990). This rule also established a new subpart L in 10 
CFR part 72 entitled ``Approval of Spent Fuel Storage Casks,'' which 
contains procedures and criteria for obtaining NRC approval of spent 
fuel storage cask designs. The NRC subsequently issued a final rule on 
November 21, 2008 (73 FR 70587) that approved the NAC International, 
Inc. MAGNASTOR[supreg] Storage System design and added it to the list 
of NRC-approved cask designs in Sec.  72.214 as Certificate of 
Compliance No. 1031.

IV. Plain Writing

    The Plain Writing Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111-274) requires Federal 
agencies to write documents in a clear, concise, and well-organized 
manner. The NRC has written this document to be consistent with the 
Plain Writing Act as well as the Presidential Memorandum, ``Plain 
Language in Government Writing,'' published June 10, 1998 (63 FR 
31885). The NRC requests comment on the proposed rule with respect to 
clarity and effectiveness of the language used.
