U.S. Advanced Boiling Water Reactor Aircraft Impact Design Certification Amendment
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) proposes to amend its regulations to certify an amendment to the U.S. Advanced Boiling Water Reactor (ABWR) standard plant design to comply with the NRC's aircraft impact assessment (AIA) regulations. This action would allow applicants or licensees intending to construct and operate a U.S. ABWR to comply with the NRC's AIA regulations by referencing the amended design certification rule (DCR). The applicant for certification of the amendment to the U.S. ABWR design is STP Nuclear Operating Company (STPNOC). The public is invited to submit comments on this proposed DCR, the STPNOC design control document (DCD) that would be incorporated by reference into the DCR, and the environmental assessment (EA) for the amendment to the U.S. ABWR design. The public is also invited to submit comments on the NRC's proposed approach for treating multiple suppliers of a single certified design.
Risk Management Requirements for Derivatives Clearing Organizations
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (Commission) is proposing regulations to implement Title VII and Title VIII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act). Proposed regulations would establish the regulatory standards for compliance with derivatives clearing organization (DCO) Core Principles C (Participant and Product Eligibility), D (Risk Management), E (Settlement Procedures), F (Treatment of Funds), G (Default Rules and Procedures), and I (System Safeguards). For DCOs that are designated by the Financial Stability Oversight Council as systemically important DCOs (SIDCOs), the Commission is proposing heightened standards in the area of system safeguards supporting business continuity and disaster recovery and a provision that would implement the Commission's special enforcement authority over SIDCOs. The Commission also is proposing certain additional amendments including replacement of the current part 39 appendix A, Application Guidance and Compliance With Core Principles, with an application form for entities seeking to register as DCOs, technical amendments to reorganize part 39 of the Commission's regulations, and amendments to supplement reporting and public information requirements proposed in a previous rulemaking.
