Commonwealth of Virginia: Discontinuance of Certain Commission Regulatory Authority Within the State; Notice of Agreement Between the NRC and the Commonwealth of Virginia; Notice of Waiver Termination
This notice is announcing that on March 4, 2009, Dr. Dale E. Klein, Chairman of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and on March 18, 2009, Governor Timothy M. Kaine of the Commonwealth of Virginia signed an Agreement as authorized by Section 274b of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act). The Agreement provides for the Commission to discontinue its regulatory authority and for Virginia to assume regulatory authority over the possession and use of byproduct material as defined in Sections 11e.(1), 11e.(2), 11e.(3), and 11e.(4) of the Act, source material, and special nuclear materials (in quantities not sufficient to form a critical mass). Under the Agreement, a person in Virginia possessing these materials is exempt from certain Commission regulations. The exemptions have been previously published in the Federal Register (FR) and are codified in the Commission's regulations as 10 CFR Part 150. The Agreement is published here as required by Section 274e of the Act.

Proposed Generic Communication; Pre-Licensing Construction Activities at Proposed Uranium Recovery Facilities
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to issue a regulatory issue summary (RIS) to present its interpretation of the regulations governing the commencement of construction found in 10 CFR 40.32(e). This Federal Register notice is available through the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) under accession number ML083470668.
Power Reactor Security Requirements
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its security regulations and adding new security requirements pertaining to nuclear power reactors. This rulemaking establishes and updates generically applicable security requirements similar to those previously imposed by Commission orders issued after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Additionally, this rulemaking adds several new requirements not derived directly from the security order requirements but developed as a result of insights gained from implementation of the security orders, review of site security plans, implementation of the enhanced baseline inspection program, and NRC evaluation of force-on-force exercises. This rulemaking also updates the NRC's security regulatory framework for the licensing of new nuclear power plants. Finally, it resolves three petitions for rulemaking (PRM) that were considered during the development of the final rule.
Proposed Revisions to the License Renewal Interim Staff Guidance Process and Regulatory Issue Summary 2007-16; Request for Public Comment
The NRC requests public comment on a proposed draft License Renewal Interim Staff Guidance (LR-ISG) Process, Revision 1. This draft incorporates changes to the existing LR-ISG process, dated December 12, 2003, and basic framework for developing and implementing LR-ISGs. The NRC also requests public comment on a proposed revision to NRC Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2007-16. This revision clarifies the role of the LR-ISG process for including ``newly identified'' systems, structures, and components in accordance with Sec. 54.37(b) of Title 10, Part 54, ``Requirements for Renewal of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants,'' of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 54.37(b)). The proposed revisions to the LR-ISG process and RIS are available in the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS), under Accession Nos. ML082180346 and ML083500028, respectively.
Variable Annual Fee Structure for Power Reactors
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering whether to propose to amend its rule governing annual fees to establish a variable annual fee structure for power reactors based on licensed power limits. Current regulations governing annual fees require that each operating power reactor pay the same annual fee, regardless of the size of the reactor. The NRC has determined that the current single annual fee structure for power reactors should be reviewed in light of the potential for future licensing of small and medium sized nuclear reactors, some of which may not be used to generate electric power, and some of which may be used and licensed in configurations of up to twenty (20) reactors (modules). Although issuance of a license for a small or medium sized reactor which triggers imposition of fees may be several years in the future, this ANPR invites early input from interested stakeholders and the public on the issues relevant to the establishment of a variable annual fee structure for power reactors.

Notice of Availability of the Final Interim Staff Guidance COL/ESP-ISG-004 on the Definition of Construction and on Limited Work Authorizations; Correction
This document corrects a notice appearing in the Federal Register on February 23, 2009 (74 FR 8124), that announced the availability of Final Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) COL/ESP-ISG-004. This action is necessary to correct the Agencywide Documents Access Management System (ADAMS) accession number for the ISG.
Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; Comment Request
The NRC invites public comment about our intention to request the OMB's approval for renewal of an existing information collection that is summarized below. We are required to publish this notice in the Federal Register under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted: 1. The title of the information collection: NRC Form 590, Application/Permit for Use of the Two White Flint North (TWFN) Auditorium. 2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0181. 3. How often the collection is required: Occasionally. Each time public use of the auditorium is requested. 4. Who is required or asked to report: Members of the public requesting use of the NRC Auditorium. 5. The number of annual respondents: 5. 6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement or request: 1.25 hours (5 requests x 15 minutes per request). 7. Abstract: In accordance with the Public Buildings Act of 1959, an agreement was reached between the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (MPPC), the General Services Administration (GSA), and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that the NRC auditorium will be made available for public use. Public users of the auditorium will be required to complete NRC Form 590, Application/Permit for Use of Two White Flint North (TWFN) Auditorium. The information is needed to allow for administrative and security review and scheduling, and to make a determination that there are no anticipated problems with the requester prior to utilization of the facility.
Interim Staff Guidance on Disposition of Review of Evaluation To Address Adverse Flow Effects in Equipment Other Than Reactor Internals
The NRC is soliciting public comment on its Proposed Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) DC/COL-ISG-010 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML090510728). The purpose of this ISG is to modify and provide additional clarity in the guidance for the review of analyses of adverse flow effects in equipment other than reactor internals performed by Combined License (COL) and Design Certification (DC) applicants. This ISG would revise the staff guidance previously issued in March 2007 in the Standard Review Plan (SRP) NUREG-0080, ``Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants,'' Section 3.9.2, ``Dynamic Testing and Analysis of Systems, Structures, and Components,'' Section 3.9.5, ``Reactor Pressure Vessel Internals,'' and Regulatory Guide 1.20, ``Comprehensive Vibration Assessment Program for Reactor Internals During Pre-operational and Initial Startup Testing.'' The NRC staff issues DC/COL-ISGs to facilitate timely implementation of current staff guidance and to facilitate activities associated with review of applications for DCs and COLs by the Office of New Reactors. The NRC staff will also incorporate the approved DC/COL-ISG-010 into the next revision of the SRP and related guidance documents.
