If special assistance is required at one of the scoping meetings, please contact Ms. Margaret Gidding via the phone number or e-mail listed above no less than five working days prior to the meetings. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Development of the PEIS/EIR for the Program is being carried out under Congressional authorization granted to the Secretary of the Interior under section 3406(c)(1) of the Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CVPIA) and will serve as the initial planning and environmental review activities necessary to implement the Settlement described below. In 1992, Congress passed the CVPIA (Pub. L. 102-575, Title XXXIV) in order to protect, restore, and enhance fish, wildlife, and associated habitats in California's Central Valley. Specifically, CVPIA Section 3406(c)(1) requires the Secretary of the Interior to “[d]evelop a comprehensive plan, which is reasonable, prudent, and feasible, to address fish, wildlife, and habitat concerns on the San Joaquin River, including but not limited to the streamflow, channel, riparian habitat, and water quality improvements that would be needed to reestablish where necessary and to sustain naturally reproducing anadromous fisheries from Friant Dam to its confluence with the San Francisco Bay/Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Estuary.” In 1988, a coalition of environmental groups, led by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), filed a lawsuit challenging the renewal of the long-term water service contracts between the United States and the Central Valley Project, Friant Division contractors. After more than 18 years of litigation of this lawsuit, known as the *Natural Resources Defense Council et al.* , v. *Rodgers, et al.* , a Settlement was reached. On September 13, 2006, the Settling Parties reached agreement on the terms and conditions of the Settlement which was subsequently approved by the Court on October 23, 2006. The “Settling Parties” include the NRDC, Friant Water Users Authority, and the Departments of the Interior and Commerce. The Settlement is based on two parallel goals: • To restore and maintain fish populations in “good condition” in the main stem of the San Joaquin River below Friant Dam to the confluence of the Merced River, including naturally reproducing and self-sustaining populations of salmon and other fish (Restoration Goal); and • To reduce or avoid adverse water supply impacts to all of the Friant Division long-term contractors that may result from the Interim Flows and Restoration Flows provided for in the Settlement (Water Management Goal). The Settlement states that the Secretary of the Interior will implement the terms and conditions of the Settlement. Additionally, the Settling Parties agreed that implementation of the Settlement will also require participation of the State of California (State). Therefore, concurrent with the execution of the Settlement, the Settling Parties entered into a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU)with the State (by and through the California Resources Agency, DWR, DFG, and the California Environmental Protection Agency) regarding the State's role in the implementation of the Settlement. The “implementing agencies”, which include Reclamation, USFWS, NMFS, DWR, and DFG, are responsible for the management of the Program to implement the Settlement.

E7-14996 Filed 8-1-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4510-FN-P DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Employment and Training Administration [TA-W-58,984] Independent Steel Castings Company, New Buffalo, MI; Notice of Revised Determination of Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on Remand On July 10, 2007, the U.S. Court of International Trade (USCIT) remanded to the U.S. Department of Labor (Department) *Former Employees of Independent Steel Castings Company, Inc.* v. *United States Department of Labor,* Court No. 06-00338. In its order, the USCIT directed the Department to acquire additional information on criterion two of the Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance
(ATAA)program (whether the adversely affected workers in the petitioning workers' firm possess job skills that are not easily transferable to other employment). The Department's determination regarding the subject workers' eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance
(TAA)and ineligibility to apply for Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance
(ATAA)was issued on June 16, 2006. The Department's Notice of determination was published in the **Federal Register** on July 14, 2006 (71 FR 40157). The determination stated that of the three criteria used to assess eligibility for ATAA —(1) Significant number of adversely affected workers age 50 or over;
(2)whether workers possess skills that are easily transferable; and
(3)whether competitive conditions within the workers' industry are adverse—workers at the subject firm had not satisfied the second criterion because they possessed skills that were easily transferable. The subject workers had been engaged in the production of investment castings (i.e. steel, aluminum and bronze castings). The subject firm closed May 2005. The petitioner, the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW), requested administrative reconsideration of the negative ATAA determination. The request alleged that the county in which the subject firm is located “has not seen any significant employment growth in the last four years” and has a high unemployment rate. By a letter dated July 31, 2006, the Department denied the request for reconsideration, stating that the UAW had not presented evidence that the Department had erred in its interpretation of facts or of the law. The letter also outlined the Department's ATAA investigation methodology—Training and Employment Guidance Letter No. 2-03 (TEGL 2-03)—and stated that the UAW's allegations were insufficient to satisfy ATAA criterion two (whether workers possess skills that are easily transferable). In the complaint, the Plaintiffs alleged that the separated workers did not possess skills that are easily transferable; that the Department “relied on conclusory assertions” provided by the subject firm “while ignoring evidence presented by the Union;” and that the Department “relied on unverified information” provided by the subject firm official. While the USCIT upheld the Department's position that it was reasonable for the Department to rely on information provided by a knowledgeable subject firm official, the USCIT found that the Department's conclusion on ATAA criterion two was not supported by substantial evidence. Accordingly, the USCIT remanded the matter to the Department for further investigation and a redetermination of the subject workers' ATAA eligibility. During the remand investigation, the Department contacted the Plaintiffs' counsel to obtain the position descriptions and lists of skill sets of each of the separated workers. The Department also attempted to contact the subject firm official who provided the Department information during the initial investigation to obtain more information regarding the workers' skills and the skills required to gain new employment in the New Buffalo, Michigan local commuting area. In addition, the Department surveyed companies in the New Buffalo, Michigan local commuting area to determine whether their jobs required the same skills as those which the subject workers possessed. As a result of the remand investigation, the Department finds that workers at the subject firm do not possess skills that are easily transferable. Accordingly, the workers have satisfied criterion two. Further, the Department finds that at least five percent of the workforce at the subject firm is at least fifty years of age and that competitive conditions within the industry are adverse. Therefore, the Department has concluded that all three ATAA criteria have been met. Conclusion After careful review of the additional facts obtained on remand, I conclude that the requirements of section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, have been met for workers at the subject firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification: “All workers of Independent Steel Castings Company, New Buffalo, Michigan, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after March 2, 2005 through June 16, 2008 are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.” Signed in Washington, DC, this 19th day of July, 2007.

License No. 37-00245-09 was originally issued on February 5, 1987, and is due to expire on May 31, 2015. II On March 10, 2005, and March 23, 2006, the NRC Office of Investigations
(OI)initiated investigations (OI Case Nos. 1-2005-008 and 1-2006-023) to determine whether UPitt willfully violated the physical presence requirements on March 4, 2005, and whether a neurosurgeon had willfully entered the authorized user's
(AU)initials on written directives without the AU's knowledge or consent. The investigations were completed on June 15, 2006 and October 10, 2006. Based on a March 5, 2005, visit to the UPitt Medical Center Gamma Knife facility and the investigations, the NRC informed UPitt, in a letter dated February 27, 2007, that three apparent violations were being considered for escalated enforcement action in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy. To address the three apparent violations, the February 27, 2007, letter offered UPitt a choice to
(1)Attend a Predecisional Enforcement Conference (PEC), or
(2)request Alternative Dispute Resolution
(ADR)with the NRC in an attempt to resolve any disagreement on whether a violation occurred, the appropriate enforcement action, and the appropriate corrective actions. III Subsequent to the NRC's identification of the apparent violations, UPitt took several actions to assure that these events would not recur. These actions included:
(1)Ensuring that an Authorized Medical Physicist
(AMP)and an AU are present during each GSR treatment;
(2)issuance of a procedure for physical presence requirements and posting it at each GSR unit; and,
(3)hiring another AMP. Also, in response to the NRC's February 27, 2007 letter, UPitt requested the use of ADR to resolve the apparent violations and pending enforcement action. ADR is a process in which a neutral mediator, with no decision-making authority, assists the NRC and UPitt to resolve any disagreements on whether a violation occurred, the appropriate enforcement action, and the appropriate corrective actions. At UPitt's request, an ADR session was held in the Region I Office in King of Prussia, PA on May 17, 2007, between UPitt and the NRC. This ADR session was mediated by a professional mediator, arranged through Cornell University's Institute of Conflict Management. Based on the discussion during the ADR session, a settlement agreement was reached regarding this matter. The elements of the settlement agreement are as follows: 1. As noted in an NRC letter dated February 27, 2007, based on an NRC inspection and NRC investigations, the NRC identified three apparent violations of NRC requirements at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Gamma Knife facility. The first apparent violation, which involved a failure to meet physical presence requirements described in 10 CFR 35.615(f)(3), included three examples, two of which involved willfulness. The examples included:
(1)A March 4, 2005, failure to meet physical presence requirements in that a GSR treatment was conducted without the continuous physical presence of an AMP;
(2)multiple incidents between May 13, 2004 and March 10, 2005, when two neurosurgeons, in careless disregard of NRC regulations, initiated GSR treatments in separate suites with only one AMP available to meet physical presence requirements; and,
(3)a February 22, 2005, incident when one neurosurgeon willfully initiated a treatment without a written directive signed by an AU and without the physical presence of an AU. The second apparent violation involved licensee management's failure to ensure that GSR activities met NRC requirements, as required by 10 CFR 35.24(b). The third apparent violation involved multiple occasions when a neurosurgeon recorded the Radiation Therapist's initials on the GSR written directive, causing the licensee to violate 10 CFR 35.32. In the NRC February 27, 2007 letter, the NRC noted that it had not determined that violations had occurred or that enforcement should be taken, and the NRC offered the licensee an opportunity to attend a PEC prior to making an enforcement decision. In the alternative, the NRC offered the licensee the opportunity to attend an ADR mediation session to resolve these matters. 2. As a result of an ADR mediation session conducted on May 17, 2007, the licensee and the NRC agreed to final disposition of this matter by way of a single violation of the regulatory requirements in 10 CFR 35.24(b). Specifically, the licensee through the Radiation Safety Officer:
(a)Failed to ensure from May 13, 2004 through March 10, 2005, the physical presence requirements of 10 CFR 35.615(f)(3) were consistently met; and
(b)failed to ensure between 1998 and 2000 that written directives were consistently signed by all three members of the Gamma Knife team prior to administration of GSR treatments in accordance with 10 CFR 35.32. The NRC concluded that certain aspects of the 10 CFR 35.24(b) violation were willful. The licensee disputed this conclusion. The NRC and the licensee have agreed to disagree regarding any willful aspects of this violation. 3. Prior to the ADR mediation session, the licensee described the actions that it had taken to address the apparent violations identified by the NRC. Those actions included:
(1)Ensuring that an AMP and an AU are present during each GSR treatment;
(2)issuance of a procedure for physical presence requirements and posting it at each GSR unit; and,
(3)hiring another AMP. Some of these actions were verified by the NRC during the following:
(1)An on-site inspection on March 15-17, 2005;
(2)the NRC's review of the UPitt response to a Confirmatory Action Letter (CAL), dated April 28, 2005;
(3)an on-site inspection on May 12, 2005 to follow-up on the CAL; and,
(4)a routine inspection performed September 25-29, 2006. 4. During the ADR mediation session, the licensee also described additional corrective actions that it had taken or planned, which includes:
(1)Having the RSO initiate a requirement for a physical presence log to be maintained at each gamma knife treatment console, to include patient name, AU physically present, AMP physically present, date, and start/stop time of treatment;
(2)having the RSO staff provide annual radiation safety training to the gamma knife staff, including a review of all applicable requirements in 10 CFR Parts 19, 20, and 35, with emphasis on the physical presence and written directive requirements;
(3)having an outside independent consultant (medical RSO) conduct an audit of the Radiation Safety Program with special emphasis on the gamma knife program and management oversight;
(4)increasing surveillance of GSR treatments by RSO staff; and,
(5)developing a program to heighten awareness of the need to report concerns, and including this program in initial and refresher training for all radiation workers, to foster an environment for raising safety concerns. 5. To provide further opportunity for other licensees in the industry to learn from this incident, UPitt also agreed to:
(1)Enhance its 40 hour GSR training course provided to users at other facilities throughout the United States, including expanding the lecture on NRC regulatory requirements to include the physical presence requirements, including a description of this experience as part of the training; and,
(2)submit a lessons-learned article for the Operational Radiation Safety publication and the Elekta Newsletter, *eWavelength* , describing these occurrences. The licensee will provide a copy of the training syllabus before conducting the training, and a copy of the article to the NRC at least 30 days prior to the submittal of the article to the organization. 6. In light of the actions that the licensee has taken, or committed to take, as described in Items 3-5 above, as well as the fact that the violation did not result in any known safety consequences to patients, workers, or the public, the NRC agrees to issue a Notice of Violation without a civil penalty for the violation as characterized in Item 2 and to classify the violation at Severity Level III. This action will be publically available in ADAMS and on the NRC “Significant Enforcement Actions” Web site. 7. The licensee also agreed to issuance of a Confirmatory Order confirming this agreement. IV In light of the actions UPitt has taken and agreed to take to correct the violations and prevent recurrence, as set forth in Section III above, the NRC has concluded that its concerns can be resolved through implementation of UPitt's commitments as outlined in this Confirmatory Order. The NRC has also determined that these commitments shall be confirmed by this Confirmatory Order. Based on the above and UPitt's consent, this Confirmatory Order is immediately effective upon issuance. V Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 81, 161b, 161i, 161o, 182, and 186 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and the Commission's regulations in 10 CFR Part 2.202 and 10 CFR Part 30 and 35, it is hereby ordered, that within one year of the date of this order: 1. UPitt will enhance its 40 hour GSR training course provided to users at other facilities throughout the United States, including expanding the lecture on NRC regulatory requirements to include the physical presence requirements, including a description of this experience as part of the training; 2. UPitt will provide the NRC a copy of the training syllabus before conducting the training; 3. UPitt will submit a lessons-learned article for the Operational Radiation Safety publication and the Elekta Newsletter, *eWavelength* , describing these occurrences; 4. UPitt will provide a copy of the article to the NRC at least 30 days prior to the submission of the article to the organization; and 5. UPitt will send a letter to the NRC informing the NRC that the actions in Sections V.1-4 are complete, and UPitt will send the letter within 30 days of completion of all of these actions. The NRC Region I Regional Administrator may relax or rescind, in writing, any of the above conditions upon a showing by UPitt of good cause. VI Any person adversely affected by this Confirmatory Order, other than UPitt, may request a hearing within 20 days of its issuance. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the time to request a hearing. A request for extension of time must be made in writing to the Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555, and must include a statement of good cause for the extension. Any request for a hearing shall be submitted to the Secretary, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Chief, Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff, Washington, DC 20555. Copies of the hearing request shall also be sent to the Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington DC 20555, to the Assistant General Counsel for Materials Litigation and Enforcement, to the Director of the Division of Regulatory Improvement Programs at the same address, to the NRC Region I office at 475 Allendale Rd., King of Prussia, PA 19406, and to UPitt. Because of potential disruptions in delivery of mail to United States Government offices, it is requested that answers and requests for hearing be transmitted to the Secretary of the Commission either by means of facsimile transmission to 301-415-1101 or by e-mail to *hearingdocket@nrc.gov* and also to the Office of the General Counsel by means of facsimile transmission to 301-415-3725 or e-mail to *OGCMailCenter@nrc.gov* . If such a person requests a hearing, that person shall set forth with particularity the manner in which his interest is adversely affected by this Order, and shall address the criteria set forth in 10 CFR Part 2.309(d) and (f). If a hearing is requested by a person whose interest is adversely affected, the Commission will issue an Order designating the time and place of any hearing. If a hearing is held, the issue to be considered at such hearing shall be whether this Confirmatory Order shall be sustained. An answer or a request for a hearing shall not stay the immediate effectiveness of this order. Dated this 23th day of July 2007. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Marc L. Dapas, Deputy Regional Administrator. [FR Doc.

Pilgrim is located on the western shore of Cape Cod in the Town of Plymouth, Plymouth County, Massachusetts. It is 38 miles southeast of Boston, Massachusetts, and 44 miles east of Providence, Rhode Island. Possible alternatives to the proposed action (license renewal) include no action and reasonable alternative energy sources. As discussed in Section 9.3 of the final Supplement 29, the recommendation of the staff is that the Commission determine that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for Pilgrim are not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy-planning decision makers would be unreasonable. The recommendation is based on:
(1)The analysis and findings in the GEIS;
(2)the Environmental Report submitted by Entergy;
(3)consultation with Federal, State, and local agencies;
(4)the staff's own independent review; and
(5)the staff's consideration of public comments. The final Supplement 29 to the GEIS is publicly available at the NRC Public Document Room (PDR), located at One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland, 20852, or from the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS).

(NRC)is considering the issuance of an amendment to NRC By-product Materials License No. 21-05199-02, which is held by the State of Michigan, Department of Environmental Quality (licensee). The amendment would authorize the decommissioning and unrestricted release of the licensee's former facilities located at 3423 and 3500 N. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Lansing, Michigan (the facilities). The NRC has prepared an Environmental Assessment in support of this action in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 51. Based on the Environmental Assessment, the NRC has determined that a Finding of No Significant Impact is appropriate. The amendment to the State of Michigan's Department of Environmental Quality license will be issued following the publication of this Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact. I. Environmental Assessment Identification of Proposed Action The proposed action would approve the State of Michigan's Department of Environmental Quality request to amend its license and release the facilities for unrestricted use in accordance with 10 CFR Part 20, Subpart E. The proposed action does not pertain to the licensee's radiological laboratory at 815 Terminal Road, in Lansing, Michigan, where licensed activities will continue. The proposed action is in accordance with the licensee's request to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC)to amend its license by letter dated February 28, 2007 (ADAMS Accession No. ML070590426). The State of Michigan's Department of Environmental Quality was first licensed to use by-product materials at its facilities at 3500 N. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. (formerly 3500 N. Logan) on June 30, 1964, and at 3423 N. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. on February 21, 1997. The licensee is authorized to use by-product materials for activities involving instrument calibration and for analysis of environmental samples. The licensee was authorized to use sealed sources at the facilities containing cesium-137, cobalt-60, americium-241, nickel-63, and strontium-90. Isotopes that were authorized for use at the facilities in an unsealed form included any by-product material up to a maximum of 100 millicuries at any one time. At the 3500 N. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. address, the licensee used by-product materials in two buildings. The licensee analyzed environmental and special samples in its Nuclear Counting Facility in Building 44, and stored radiological materials in its Radioactive Material Storage Bunker in Building 20. The licensee ceased using the Nuclear Counting Laboratory and moved all calibration standards, environmental samples and special samples to its new radiological laboratory at 815 Terminal Road, Lansing, Michigan, prior to conducting final status surveys in November 2000 to verify that the 3500 N. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. facility could be released for unrestricted use. In October 2000, the Michigan Department of Public Health requested the NRC terminate its SUB-1385 license, which also authorized the use of radioactive material in the Radioactive Material Storage Bunker in Building 20. The Michigan Department of Public Health provided a Final Status Survey Report that documented that the Radioactive Material Storage Bunker in Building 20 had been surveyed for residual contamination in 1998 and was acceptable for unrestricted use. In January 2001, the NRC terminated the SUB-1385 license and released the Radioactive Material Storage Bunker in Building 20 for unrestricted use. The licensee stated in a July 11, 2007, telephone conference, that it had not used the Radioactive Material Storage Bunker in Building 20 since it had been released for unrestricted use by the NRC in 2001. At the 3423 N. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. address, the licensee maintained a facility for the calibration of portable radiation survey instruments and the storage of radioactive material. The licensee ceased using the calibration/storage facility and moved all radiation sources and environmental samples to its new calibration facility at 815 Terminal Road, Lansing, Michigan, prior to conducting final status surveys in November 2000 to verify that the 3423 N. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. facility could be released for unrestricted use. The licensee conducted surveys of the facilities as part of its decommissioning activities and provided this information to the NRC to demonstrate that the radiological condition there is consistent with radiological criteria for unrestricted use in 10 CFR Part 20, Subpart E. The licensee was not required to submit a decommissioning plan to the NRC since any decommissioning activities and procedures implemented were consistent with those approved for routine operations. No radiological remediation activities are required to complete the proposed action. Need for the Proposed Action The licensee is requesting this license amendment because it has moved out of the facilities, and is conducting licensed activities at another location. The NRC is fulfilling its responsibilities under the Atomic Energy Act to make a decision on the proposed action for decommissioning that ensures that residual radioactivity is reduced to a level that is protective of the public health and safety and the environment, and allows the facilities to be released for unrestricted use. Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Action The NRC staff reviewed the information provided and surveys performed by the licensee to demonstrate that the release of the facilities is consistent with the radiological criteria for unrestricted use specified in 10 CFR 20.1402. Based on its review, the staff determined that there were no radiological impacts associated with the proposed action because no radiological remediation activities were required to complete the proposed action, and that the radiological criteria for unrestricted use in § 20.1402 have been met. Based on its review, the staff determined that the radiological environmental impacts from the proposed action for the facilities are bounded by the “Generic Environmental Impact Statement in Support of Rulemaking on Radiological Criteria for License Termination of NRC-Licensed Nuclear Facilities” (NUREG-1496). Additionally, no non-radiological or cumulative impacts were identified. Therefore, the NRC has determined that the proposed action will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment. Alternatives to the Proposed Action The only alternative to the proposed action is to take no action. Under the no-action alternative, the facilities would remain under an NRC license and would not be released for unrestricted use. Denial of the license amendment request would result in no change to current conditions. The no-action alternative is not acceptable because it is inconsistent with 10 CFR 30.36, which requires that decommissioning of by-product material facilities be completed and approved by the NRC after licensed activities cease. This alternative would impose an unnecessary regulatory burden in controlling access to the former facility, and limit potential benefits from the future use of the facility. Conclusion The NRC staff concluded that the proposed action is consistent with the NRC's unrestricted release criteria specified in 10 CFR 20.1402. Because the proposed action will not significantly impact the quality of the human environment, the NRC staff concludes that the proposed action is the preferred alternative. Agencies and Persons Consulted The NRC staff has determined that the proposed action will not affect listed species or critical habitats. Therefore, no further consultation is required under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act. Likewise, the NRC staff has determined that the proposed action is not a type of activity that has potential to cause effect on historic properties. Therefore, consultation under section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act is not required. The NRC consulted with the Michigan Department of Community Health (DCH). The Michigan DCH, Bureau of Health Systems, Division of Health Facilities and Services, was provided the draft EA for comment on July 13, 2007. Mr. Bruce Matkovich, Manager, Radiation Safety Section, with the Michigan DCH, responded to the NRC by e-mail on July 16, 2007, indicating that the State had no comments regarding the NRC Environmental Assessment for the release of the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality facilities. II. Finding of No Significant Impact On the basis of the EA in support of the proposed license amendment, the NRC has determined that the proposed action will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment. Thus, the NRC has not prepared an environmental impact statement for the proposed action. III.

E7-15036 Filed 8-1-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 7590-01-P NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION NUREG-1556, Volume 9, Revision 2, “Consolidated Guidance About Materials Licenses Program-Specific Guidance About Medical Use Licenses; Draft Guidance Document for Comment AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission. ACTION: Notice of availability for public comment. SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC)has amended its regulations to include jurisdiction over certain radium sources, accelerator-produced radioactive materials, and certain naturally occurring radioactive material, as required by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct), which was signed into law on August 8, 2005. The EPAct expanded the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 definition of byproduct material to include these radioactive materials. Subsequently, these radioactive materials were placed under NRC's regulatory authority. NRC is revising its regulations to provide a regulatory framework that includes these newly added radioactive materials. See SECY-07-0062, “Final Rule: Requirements for Expanded Definition of Byproduct Material,” dated April 3, 2007, for information on that rulemaking. Two licensing guidance documents in the NUREG-1556 series are being revised along with these new regulations to provide guidance related to the new requirements:

(301)415-7900, e-mail: *tmt@nrc.gov* . SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On August 8, 2005, the President signed into law the EPAct. Among other provisions, section 651(e) of the EPAct expanded the definition of byproduct material as defined in section 11e. of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (AEA), placing additional byproduct material under the NRC's jurisdiction, and required the Commission to provide a regulatory framework for licensing and regulating this additional byproduct material. Specifically, section 651(e) of the EPAct expanded the definition of byproduct material by:
(1)Adding any discrete source of radium-226 that is produced, extracted, or converted after extraction, before, on, or after the date of enactment of the EPAct for use for a commercial, medical, or research activity; or any material that has been made radioactive by use of a particle accelerator and is produced, extracted, or converted after extraction, before, on, or after the date of enactment of the EPAct for use for a commercial, medical, or research activity (Section 11e.(3) of the AEA); and
(2)adding any discrete source of naturally occurring radioactive material, other than source material, that the Commission, in consultation with the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, the Secretary of the Department of Energy, the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, and the head of any other appropriate Federal agency, determines would pose a threat similar to the threat posed by a discrete source of radium-226 to the public health and safety or the common defense and security; and is extracted or converted after extraction before, on, or after the date of enactment of the EPAct for use in a commercial, medical, or research activity (Section 11e.(4) of the AEA). NRC is revising its regulations to provide a regulatory framework that includes these newly added radioactive materials. *See* SECY-07-0062, “Final Rule: Requirements for Expanded Definition of Byproduct Material,” dated April 3, 2007, for information on that rulemaking. Discussion As part of the rulemaking effort to address the mandate of the EPAct, the NRC also evaluated the need to revise certain licensing guidance documents to provide necessary guidance to applicants in preparing license applications to include the use of the newly added radioactive material as byproduct material. Two NUREG-1556 documents are being revised to provide additional guidance to licensees:
(1)NUREG-1556, Volume 13, Revision 1, “Consolidated Guidance About Materials Licenses—Program-Specific Guidance About Commercial Radiopharmacy Licenses,” and
(2)NUREG-1556, Volume 9, Revision 2, “Consolidated Guidance About Materials Licenses—Program-Specific Guidance About Medical Use Licenses.” Additionally, a new NUREG-1556 volume has been developed as Volume 21 to address production of radioactive material using an accelerator. This NUREG-1556, Volume 21, is entitled: “Consolidated Guidance About Materials Licenses—Program-Specific Guidance About Possession Licenses for Production of Radioactive Material Using an Accelerator.” At this time, NRC is announcing the availability for public comment NUREG-1556, Volume 9, Revision 2, “Consolidated Guidance About Materials Licenses—Program-Specific Guidance About Medical Use Licenses,” Draft Report for Comment. The other two NUREGs were previously noticed for public comment:
(1)NUREG-1556, Volume 13, Revision 1, on July 3, 2007 (72 FR 36526) and
(2)NUREG-1556, Volume 21, on May 29, 2007 (72 FR 29555). NUREG-1556, Volume 9, Revision 2, “Consolidated Guidance About Materials Licenses—Program-Specific Guidance About Medical Use Licenses,” provides guidance for applicants in preparing their license applications for the medical use of byproduct material. Volume 9 is being revised primarily to provide additional guidance related to the NARM rule, as discussed above. In the draft final rule for the NARM rulemaking, the concept of consortiums and noncommercial distribution was addressed. In summary, because of the short-lived radionuclides associated with Positron Emission Tomography (PET), the source of these radioactive materials needs to be produced in the facility of use or within close proximity. The NRC developed a new regulatory process based on existing practices for consortiums and noncommercial distribution. For this purpose, educational institutions, medical use facilities or Federal facilities may form consortiums with adjacent or nearby hospitals to jointly own or share in the operation and maintenance costs of the PET radionuclide production facility. This is discussed in more detail in SECY-07-0062, “Final Rule: Requirements for Expanded Definition of Byproduct Material,” dated April 3, 2007, and within the draft **Federal Register** notice that is provided as an attachment to SECY-07-0062. NUREG-1556, Volume 9, Revision 2, provides guidance for applicants in licensees about consortiums and noncommercial distribution in Sections 1 and 8, and in Appendix AA. NRC is requesting specific comments on this guidance to ensure that it is clear and easily understood by affected stakeholders. It is also being revised to clarify training and experience requirements, replaces NRC Form 313A with six new NRC Form 313A forms specific to types of authorizations. References and information related to Subpart J of 10 CFR Part 35 have been removed since these regulatory requirements expired on October 25, 2005. Additionally, other minor changes are being made that are administrative in nature, such as updating the Agreement State section and updating references. Also, information related to identifying and protecting sensitive information is being updated. NRC is only requesting comments on the specific changes in this document related to those revisions discussed above. NRC will make corrections if any errors or editorial corrections are noted; however, any comments not related to these specific changes will be evaluated during the next routine review of NUREG-1556, Volume 9. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 26th day of July, 2007. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Dennis K.

E7-15049 Filed 8-1-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 7590-01-P OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET Amending Federal Financial Assistance-Related Forms to Include Universal Identifier AGENCY: Office of Federal Financial Management and Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget. ACTION: Notice; request for comments. SUMMARY: The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB)proposes to authorize each Federal agency that receives applications for Federal financial assistance to add a field for the applicant's Dun and Bradstreet Data Universal Numbering System
(DUNS)number to application forms previously approved by OMB. This proposed update would broaden the directive's effect to all forms of Federal financial assistance covered by the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (the “Act”) including grants, subgrants, loans, awards, cooperative agreements, and other forms of financial assistance. DATES: Comments are due by September 4, 2007. ADDRESSES: Comments should be addressed to Marguerite Pridgen, Office of Federal Financial Management, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th Street, NW., Washington, DC 20503; telephone 202-395-7844; fax 202-395-3952; e-mail *mpridgen@omb.eop.gov.* Due to potential delays in OMB's receipt and processing of mail sent through the U.S. Postal Service, we encourage respondents to submit comments electronically to ensure timely receipt. We cannot guarantee that comments mailed will be received before the comment closing date. Please include “Amending Forms for DUNS” in the subject line of the email message; please also include the full body of your comments in the text of the message and as an attachment. Include your name, title, organization, postal address, telephone number, and e-mail address in your message. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Marguerite Pridgen at the addresses noted above. Authority: Sec. 2, Pub. L. 109-282, 102 Stat. 1186. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB)proposes to authorize each Federal agency that receives applications for Federal financial assistance to add a field for the applicant's Dun and Bradstreet Data Universal Numbering System
(DUNS)number to application forms previously approved by OMB. The intent of authorizing agencies to add the field without additional OMB approval is to enable the agencies to require applicants other than individual persons to provide DUNS numbers for all applications submitted on or after October 1, 2007. This proposal thereby would update the policy in the OMB directive issued on June 27, 2003 [68 FR 38403], “Use of a Universal Identifier by Grant Applicants.” That directive authorized agencies to add the DUNS number as a required field for applications leading to the award of two specific forms of Federal financial assistance: Grants and cooperative agreements. This proposed update would broaden the directive's effect to all forms of Federal financial assistance covered by the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (the “Act”) including grants, subgrants, loans, awards, cooperative agreements, and other forms of financial assistance. The reason for the proposed update is that the DUNS number will be used as the unique identifier for recipient entities that is required by the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (Pub. L. 109-282). Under that Act, OMB must ensure the establishment and maintenance of a location on the World Wide Web through which the public may access and search data on agencies' awards. The unique identifier of the recipient entity is one of the data elements that the Act requires for each award. Note that the Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (Councils) are addressing the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act requirements for contracts, subcontracts, purchase orders, task orders and delivery orders under separate **Federal Register** notices.

E7-15044 Filed 8-1-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 3110-01-P OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES TRADE REPRESENTATIVE Notice of Effective Date for Goods of Mexico for Certain Modifications of the NAFTA Rules of Origin AGENCY: Office of the United States Trade Representative. ACTION: Notice of effective date. SUMMARY: In Proclamation 8111 of February 28, 2007, the President modified the rules of origin for certain goods of Mexico under the North American Free Trade Agreement (the “NAFTA”) incorporated in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (the “HTS”). The proclamation stated that the modifications would be effective on the date to be announced in the **Federal Register** by the United States Trade Representative (the “USTR”) and would apply to goods of Mexico that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after the date indicated in the proclamation. The purpose of this notice is to announce that the effective date for the modifications is July 30, 2007. The changes were printed in the **Federal Register** of March 6, 2007 (72 FR 10028). FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For further information, please contact Caroyl Miller, Deputy Special Textile Negotiator, Office of the United States Trade Representative, 600 17th Street, NW., Washington, DC 20508, fax number,
(202)395-5639. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Presidential Proclamation 6641 of December 15, 1993 implemented the North American Free Trade Agreement (the “NAFTA”) with respect to the United States and, pursuant to the North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act (Pub. L. 103-182) (the “NAFTA Implementation Act”), incorporated in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (the “HTS”) the tariff modifications and rules of origin necessary or appropriate to carry out the NAFTA. Section 202 of the NAFTA Implementation Act (19 U.S.C. 3332) provides rules for determining whether goods imported into the United States originate in the territory of a NAFTA party and thus are eligible for the tariff and other treatment contemplated under the NAFTA. Section 202(q) of the NAFTA Implementation Act (19 U.S.C. 3332(q)) authorizes the President to proclaim, as a part of the HTS, the rules of origin set out in the NAFTA and to proclaim modifications to such previously proclaimed rules of origin, subject to the consultation and layover requirements of section 103(a) of the NAFTA Implementation Act (19 U.S.C. 3313(a)). The President determined that the modifications to the HTS contained in Proclamation 8811 pursuant to sections 201 and 202 of the NAFTA Implementation Act were appropriate and proclaimed such changes with respect to goods of Mexico entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after the date indicated in the Annex to that Proclamation. The President decided that the effective date of the modifications shall be announced by the United States Trade Representative (USTR). On March 15, 2007, the government of Mexico obtained the necessary authorization to implement the rule of origin changes with respect to goods of the United States. Subsequently, officials from the government of Mexico and the government of the United States agreed to implement these changes with respect to each other's eligible goods, effective July 30, 2007.
