Notice of Intent To Request Public Comments
As part of its ongoing systematic review of all Federal Trade Commission rules and guides, the Commission gives notice that, during 2005, it intends to request public comments on the two rules listed below. The Commission will request comments on, among other things, the economic impact of, and the continuing need for, the rules; possible conflict between the rules and state, local, or other federal laws or regulations; and the effect on the rules of any technological, economic, or other industry changes. No Commission determination on the need for or the substance of the rules should be inferred from the intent to publish request for comments. In addition, the Commission announces a revised 10-year regulatory review schedule.
Security Requirements for Portable Gauges Containing Byproduct Material
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its regulations governing the use of byproduct material in specifically licensed portable gauges. The final rule requires a portable gauge licensee to use a minimum of two independent physical controls that form tangible barriers to secure portable gauges from unauthorized removal whenever the portable gauges are not under the control and constant surveillance of the licensee. The primary intent of this rulemaking is to increase licensees' control of portable gauges to reduce the opportunity for unauthorized removal or theft.
Donald A. Barbour, Philotechnics; Denial of Petition for Rulemaking
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is denying a petition for rulemaking (PRM-40-28) submitted by Mr. Donald A. Barbour, Philotechnics. The petitioner requested that the NRC amend its regulations governing the domestic licensing of source material to provide clarity regarding the effective control of depleted uranium aircraft counterweights held under the exemption in 10 CFR 40.13(c)(5). The petitioner believes that this amendment should address a number of issues concerning the exemption, storage, and disposal of these devices.
Records Schedules; Availability and Request for Comments
The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) publishes notice at least once monthly of certain Federal agency requests for records disposition authority (records schedules). Once approved by NARA, records schedules provide mandatory instructions on what happens to records when no longer needed for current Government business. They authorize the preservation of records of continuing value in the National Archives of the United States and the destruction, after a specified period, of records lacking administrative, legal, research, or other value. Notice is published for records schedules in which agencies propose to destroy records not previously authorized for disposal or reduce the retention period of records already authorized for disposal. NARA invites public comments on such records schedules, as required by 44 U.S.C. 3303a(a).

This change is required to recognize the ``Rights in DataSBIR Programs'' clause rather than the FAR ``Rights in DataGeneral'' clause currently referenced in the NFS ``Final Scientific and Technical Reports'' clause.
