Ethyl Alcohol for Fuel Use: Determination of the Base Quantity of Imports
Section 423(c) of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2703 note), requires the United States International Trade Commission to determine annually the amount (expressed in gallons) that is equal to 7 percent of the U.S. domestic market for fuel ethyl alcohol during the 12-month period ending on the preceding September 30. This determination is to be used to establish the ``base quantity'' of imports of fuel ethyl alcohol with a zero percent local feedstock requirement that can be imported from U.S. insular possessions or CBERA-beneficiary countries. The base quantity to be used by U.S. Customs and Border Protection in the administration of the law is the greater of 60 million gallons or 7 percent of U.S. consumption, as determined by the Commission.

License Renewal Interim Staff Guidance LR-ISG-2007-02: Changes to Generic Aging Lessons Learned Report Aging Management Program XI.E6, Electrical Cable Connections Not Subject to 10 CFR 50.49 Environmental Qualification Requirements”; Notice of Availability
The NRC is issuing the final License Renewal Interim Staff Guidance (LR-ISG), LR-ISG-2007-02, ``Changes to Generic Aging Lessons Learned (GALL) Report Aging Management Program (AMP) XI.E6, ``Electrical Cable Connections Not Subject to 10 CFR 50.49 Environmental Qualification Requirements.'' LR-ISG-2007-02 revises current NRC guidance in Section XI.E6 of NUREG-1801, Revision 1, ``Generic Aging Lessons Learned (GALL) Report,'' Volume 2, dated September 2005 (GALL Report). Volume 2 of the GALL Report is available in the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) under Accession No. ML052780376. The revised GALL Report Section XI.E6 recommends an AMP with a one-time inspection for electrical cable connections not subject to 10 CFR 50.49 environmental qualification requirements, instead of the periodic inspection as currently recommended in the GALL Report. The NRC staff has determined that a one-time inspection, on a representative sample basis, is adequate to ensure that either aging of metallic cable connections is not occurring and/or that an existing preventive maintenance program is effective such that a periodic inspection is not required. The final LR-ISG-2007- 02 is available under Accession No. ML091940093.
