Commission Seeks To Update the Record for a Petition for Reconsideration Regarding Home Shopping Stations
In this document, the Commission seeks to update the record for a Petition for Reconsideration filed by the Center for the Study of Commercialism (CSC), concerning stations that air home shopping programming and their status. The Commission seeks comment on CSC's argument that the Commission failed to consider in its public interest analysis the significant amount of commercial programming broadcast by home shopping stations; on the specific issues concerning how home shopping stations serve the people in their communities, including the elderly and homebound; on CSC's assertion that the Commission failed to consider information relevant to one of three statutory factors, i.e., competing demands for the spectrum; and on CSC's assertion that the Cable Act requires the Commission to consider non-broadcast uses in its analysis of competing demands for spectrum. The Commission would like to update the record for this proceeding before ruling on the petition.
Geologic Repository Operations Area Security and Material Control and Accounting Requirements
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is making available preliminary draft rule language to amend its regulations to revise the security requirements and material control and accounting (MC&A) requirements for a geologic repository operations area (GROA). The goal of this rulemaking is to ensure effective security measures are in place for the protection of high-level radioactive waste given the post-September 11, 2001, threat environment. New requirements for specific training enhancements, improved access authorization, and enhancements to defensive strategies will be incorporated. The proposed rule will reinstate the alcohol and drug provisions of the fitness-for- duty provisions to a GROA. The proposed rule will also impose the fatigue portion of the fitness-for-duty requirements for the security personnel at a GROA. The proposed rule will establish general performance objectives and corresponding system capabilities for the GROA MC&A program, with a focus on strengthening, streamlining, and consolidating all MC&A regulations specific to a GROA. In addition, the proposed rule will require the emergency plan to address radiological emergencies. The availability of the preliminary draft rule language is intended to inform stakeholders of the current status of the NRC's activities, but the NRC is not soliciting formal public comments on the information at this time.
