The public comment period was scheduled to expire on October, 31, 2011; however, on September 16, 2011 (76 FR 57767), the NRC issued a correction and extended the public comment period to November 15, 2011.

Regulatory Changes To Implement the United States/Australian Agreement for Peaceful Nuclear Cooperation
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) is amending its regulations to implement the 2010 ``Agreement between the Government of Australia and the Government of the United States of America Concerning Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy'' (the Agreement). The Agreement prohibits the United States from using Australian- obligated nuclear material to produce tritium for use in a nuclear explosive device, or for any other ``military purpose'' as defined in the Agreement. The Agreement's definition of military purpose states that it includes ``depleted uranium munitions, and other direct military non-nuclear applications, as mutually determined by the Parties.'' The amendments in this final rule help enable the U.S. Government to meet its Agreement obligations with the Government of Australia.
Aging Management of Stainless Steel Structures and Components in Treated Borated Water
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requests public comment on Draft License Renewal Interim Staff Guidance (LR-ISG), LR- ISG-2011-01, ``Aging Management of Stainless Steel Structures and Components in Treated Borated Water.'' This LR-ISG revises the guidance in the Standard Review Plan for Review of License Renewal Applications for Nuclear Power Plants (SRP-LR) and Generic Aging Lessons Learned (GALL) Report for the aging management of stainless steel structures and components exposed to treated borated water.
Proposed Models for Plant-Specific Adoption of Technical Specifications Task Force Traveler TSTF-500, Revision 2, “DC Electrical Rewrite-Update to TSTF-360”
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is correcting a notice appearing in the Federal Register on September 1, 2011 (76 FR 54510), that announced the availability of the model application (with model no significant hazards consideration determination) and model safety evaluation (SE) (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML111751792) for plant-specific adoption of Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) Traveler TSTF-500, Revision 2, ``DC Electrical RewriteUpdate to TSTF-360'' (ADAMS Accession No. ML092670242). The original Notice of Availability (NOA) published in the Federal Register on September 1, 2011 (76 FR 54510), mistakenly stated that the TSTF-500 was available for adoption under the Consolidated Line Item Improvement Process (CLIIP). TSTF-500 is available for adoption, but not under the CLIIP. No other information contained in the original NOA has changed.
