Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 175 / Tuesday, September 10, 2024 / Rules and Regulations khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES • FSIS separated ‘‘Animal Welfare’’ and ‘‘Environmental Stewardship’’ sections and renamed ‘‘Environmental Stewardship’’ to ‘‘Environment-Related’’ to better clarify the claims and the documentation to be submitted for each type of claim. • FSIS made several changes to the formatting, language, and organizational structure of the guideline to improve readability. As explained above, FSIS also made some significant changes to the guideline in response to petitions and public comments on the last version of the guideline. • FSIS updated documentation that establishments are strongly encouraged to submit to LPDS to substantiate claims like ‘‘Pasture Raised,’’ ‘‘Pasture Fed,’’ ‘‘Pasture Grown,’’ and ‘‘Meadow Raised.’’ • FSIS recommended criteria for third-party organizations that certify animal-raising or environment-related claims. • FSIS further emphasized that, to substantiate a third-party certification claim, establishments should provide FSIS with a copy of their current certificate. • FSIS further emphasized that if a claim was certified by a third-party organization, the Agency will approve the label bearing the claim only if it includes the certifying entity’s name, website address (where the relevant standards can be found), and logo, when the organization has a logo. • FSIS added language strongly encouraging establishments to substantiate negative antibiotic use claims by instituting a routine sampling program to test for the use of antibiotics in animals prior to slaughter or by using a third-party certifier who performs routine antibiotic sampling and testing as part of their certification standards. • FSIS added language stating that establishments are strongly encouraged to provide FSIS with relevant data or studies (e.g., soil/land variation or air quality studies and results) to substantiate environment-related claims. • FSIS added language strongly encouraging establishments to use thirdparty certification to substantiate animal-raising or environment-related claims, given the limits of FSIS jurisdiction.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Discussion

    The NRC is issuing a revision in the NRC's ``Regulatory Guide'' 
series. This series was developed to describe methods that are 
acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific parts of the 
agency's regulations, to explain techniques that the staff uses in 
evaluating specific issues or postulated events, and to describe 
information that the staff needs in its review of applications for 
permits and licenses.
    The proposed Revision 3 to RG 5.62 was issued with a temporary 
identification of DG-5080 (ADAMS Accession No. ML23198A191).
    This revision provides additional guidance on physical security 
event notifications, written follow-up reports, and recordkeeping of 
security events and other security-related conditions adverse to 
quality. These new and updated requirements are part of the NRC's final 
rule, entitled ``Enhanced Weapons, Firearms Background Checks, and 
Security Event Notifications'' (hereafter the Enhanced Weapons rule), 
that was published in the Federal Register on March 14, 2023 (88 FR 
15864). These provisions are found in the NRC's regulations under title 
10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Sec. Sec.  73.1200, 
73.1205, and 10 CFR 73.1210.
    Revision 3 to RG 5.62 provides examples, considerations, and 
guidance to assist licensees and their security personnel in 
understanding their responsibilities in implementing the provisions of 
Sec. Sec.  73.1200, 73.1205, and 73.1210.

II. Additional Information

    The NRC published a notice of availability of DG-5080 in the 
Federal Register on October 27, 2023 (88 FR 73767) for a 45-day public 
comment period. The public comment period closed on December 11, 2023. 
The NRC staff made changes to RG 5.62 in response to public comments. 
The NRC staff's responses to these public comments on DG-5080 are 
available in ADAMS under Accession No. ML23299A187.
    As noted in the Federal Register on December 9, 2022 (87 FR 75671), 
this document is being published in the ``Rules'' section of the 
Federal Register to comply with publication requirements under 1 CFR 
chapter I.

III. Congressional Review Act

    This RG is a rule as defined in the Congressional Review Act (5 
U.S.C. 801-808). However, the Office of Management and Budget has not 
found it to be a major rule as defined in the Congressional Review Act.

IV. Backfitting, Forward Fitting, and Issue Finality

    Issuance of Revision 3 to RG 5.62 does not constitute backfitting 
as defined in 10 CFR 72.62, ``Backfitting,'' 10 CFR 70.76, 
``Backfitting,'' and 10 CFR 50.109, ``Backfitting,'' and as described 
in NRC Management Directive (MD) 8.4, ``Management of Backfitting, 
Forward Fitting, Issue Finality, and Information Requests'' (ADAMS 
Accession No. ML18093B087); does not constitute forward fitting as that 
term is defined and described in MD 8.4; and does not affect the issue 
finality of any approval issued under 10 CFR part 52, ``Licenses, 
Certificates, and Approvals for Nuclear Powerplants,'' because, as 
explained in Revision 3 to RG 5.62, licensees are not required to 
comply with the positions set forth in the RG.

V. Submitting Suggestions for Improvement of Regulatory Guides

    A member of the public may, at any time, submit suggestions to the 
NRC for improvement of existing RGs or for the development of new RGs. 
Suggestions can be submitted on the NRC's public website at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/reg-guides/contactus.html. 
Suggestions will be considered in future updates and enhancements to 
the ``Regulatory Guide'' series.

    Dated: September 4, 2024.
