Joint Board for Enrollment of Actuaries July 30, 2015 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has granted the request of Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc., to withdraw its application dated August 14, 2012, for a proposed amendment to Facility Operating License No. DPR-64 for Indian Point Nuclear Generating, Unit No. 3. The proposed change would have changed the licensing basis for the emergency diesel generator fuel oil storage tank requirements, revised Technical Specification (TS) 3.8.3, ``Diesel Fuel Oil, and Starting Air,'' and relocated the specific numerical values for fuel oil storage requirements from the TSs to the TS Bases in accordance with Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF) Traveler TSTF-501, Revision 1, ``Relocate Stored Fuel Oil and Lube Oil Volume Values to Licensee Control.''

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is denying a petition for rulemaking (PRM), dated December 2, 2011, which was filed with the NRC by Motti Slodowitz on behalf of CampCo (the petitioner) and supplemented with additional information on September 18, 2012. The petitioner requests the NRC to amend its regulations that govern the licensing of products containing byproduct material to allow the commercial distribution of tritium markers for use under an exemption from licensing requirements. The NRC is denying the petition because the petitioner fails to demonstrate that a specific exemption is warranted and that the existing regulatory framework for self-luminous products is insufficient.
