The Commission further determines, pursuant to section 733(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(a)), that there is a reasonable indication that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason of imports from China and Germany of sodium nitrite, that are alleged to be sold in the United States at less than fair value (LTFV). 1 The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)). Commencement of Final Phase Investigations Pursuant to section 207.18 of the Commission's rules, the Commission also gives notice of the commencement of the final phase of its investigations concerning sodium nitrite from China and Germany. The Commission will issue a final phase notice of scheduling, which will be published in the **Federal Register** as provided in section 207.21 of the Commission's rules, upon notice from the Department of Commerce (Commerce) of affirmative preliminary determinations in the investigations under sections 703(b) and 733(b) of the Act, or, if the preliminary determinations are negative, upon notice of affirmative final determinations in those investigations under sections 705(a) and 735(a) of the Act. Parties that filed entries of appearance in the preliminary phase of the investigations need not enter a separate appearance for the final phase of the investigations. Industrial users and, if the merchandise under investigation is sold at the retail level, representative consumer organizations have the right to appear as parties in Commission antidumping and countervailing duty investigations. The Secretary will prepare a public service list containing the names and addresses of all persons, or their representatives, who are parties to the investigations. Background On November 8, 2007, a petition was filed with the Commission and Commerce by General Chemical LLC, Parsippany, NJ, alleging that an industry in the United States is materially injured or threatened with material injury by reason of subsidized imports of sodium nitrite from China, and by reason of LTFV imports of sodium nitrite from China and Germany. Accordingly, effective November 8, 2007, the Commission instituted countervailing and antidumping duty investigations Nos. 701-TA-453 and 731-TA-1136-1137 (Preliminary). Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigations and of a public conference to be held in connection therewith was given by posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the **Federal Register** of November 15, 2007 (72 FR 64241). The conference was held in Washington, DC, on November 27, 2007, and all persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in person or by counsel. The Commission transmitted its determinations in these investigations to the Secretary of Commerce on December 26, 2007. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 3979 (January 2008), entitled *Sodium Nitrite from China and Germany: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-453 and 731-TA-1136-1137 (Preliminary).* By order of the Commission.

(NRC)is issuing this regulatory issue summary
(RIS)to inform addressees of requirements concerning the implementation of changes authorized by a 10 CFR Part 72 dry storage cask Certificate of Compliance
(CoC)amendment to a cask loaded under the original CoC or an earlier amendment thereto (“previously loaded cask”). The NRC will include review of this matter in future inspections to verify compliance with these requirements. No specific action or written response is required. Background The NRC initially considered this issue after a general licensee sought clarification about the application of a CoC amendment to a previously loaded cask. Subsequently, during the May 2007 Nuclear Energy Institute Dry Storage Information Forum, NRC staff described agency requirements for the implementation of CoC amendments to previously loaded casks. Staff told forum participants that 10 CFR Part 72 requires licensees to obtain NRC approval if licensees wish to apply any changes of a CoC amendment to a previously loaded cask, if such changes result in a change to the terms or conditions (including the technical specifications) of the CoC under which the cask was loaded. Some licensees have asserted that 10 CFR 72.48 allows them to apply some or all of the changes of a CoC amendment to a previously loaded cask without obtaining express NRC approval. This essentially, allows an “upgrade” of the CoC. NRC's position is that such an upgrade, if it involves a change to a term, condition, or specification of the CoC, would be tantamount to amending the design basis of the previously loaded cask, and as such, express NRC approval is required. Summary of Issue 10 CFR 72.210 grants the authority to store spent fuel in an independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) at power reactor sites to persons authorized to possess or operate nuclear power reactors under the provisions of 10 CFR Part 50. Regulations at 10 CFR 72.212 set forth the conditions of such a general license, including the condition that such spent fuel must be stored in casks, the design of which is approved under the provisions of 10 CFR Part 72. The NRC issues a CoC for each approved cask design. Further, 10 CFR 72.212 requires the general licensee to notify the NRC at least 90 days before the first storage of spent fuel under the general license. 1 Thereafter, the licensee must register the use of each cask with the NRC no later than 30 days after using that cask to store spent fuel. In addition, the licensee must provide certain information, including the cask certificate number, model number, and identification number. 2 Regulations at 10 CFR 72.212 require that licensees “[p]erform written evaluations, prior to use, that establish that: [The] conditions set forth in the Certificate of Compliance have been met.” 3 The NRC's position is that the phrase “prior to use” means before the cask is loaded with spent nuclear fuel. 1 10 CFR 72.212(b)(1)(i). 2 10 CFR 72.212(b)(1)(ii). 3 10 CFR 72.212(b)(2)(i)(A). Regulations at 10 CFR 72.212 also require that any changes made to the written evaluation required by that section must be made in accordance with 10 CFR 72.48(c), the NRC regulation governing changes, tests, and experiments made by a licensee or a certificate holder to a spent fuel storage cask design. 4 Regulations at 10 CFR 72.48(c) permit a licensee to make changes to a cask design, without obtaining express NRC approval if such changes do not require, “a change in the terms, conditions, or specifications incorporated in the CoC.” 5 4 10 CFR 72.212(b)(ii). 5 10 CFR 72.48(c)(1)(ii)(B). If the CoC holder or a general licensee (through the CoC holder) desires to amend the CoC, such that the amendment results in a change to the terms, conditions, or specifications of the CoC, then the CoC holder must submit a proposed CoC amendment to NRC. Such an amendment must be approved by NRC before it can be effective. 6 Amendments for each approved cask design are listed in 10 CFR 72.214. 6 10 CFR 72.244 and 72.246. The NRC's practice is to consider each CoC amendment as a new design basis. Thus, each CoC amendment requires an NRC rulemaking before the amendment is effective. 7 Each CoC amendment is considered a separate and distinct CoC, accompanied by its own certificate (setting forth terms, conditions, and specifications) and safety evaluation report. Moreover, an amendment to a CoC may not amend all previous CoC amendments; thus, each succeeding amendment does not necessarily encompass all previous amendments. 7 54 FR 19379, 19380 (May 5, 1989) (“Storage casks certified in the future will be routinely added to the listing in § 72.214 through rulemaking procedures”). Further, a previously loaded cask is bound by the terms, conditions, and specifications of the CoC under which the cask was loaded. The applicable NRC regulation states that the licensee shall: “Maintain a copy of the Certificate of Compliance and documents referenced in the certificate for each cask model used for storage of spent fuel, until use of the cask model is discontinued. The licensee shall comply with the terms and conditions of the certificate.” 8 8 10 CFR 72.212(b)(7). Therefore, a licensee seeking to implement changes from a later CoC amendment to a previously loaded cask must obtain NRC approval if the changes alter the terms and conditions of the CoC under which the cask was loaded. NRC approval would be in the form of an exemption. 9 Specifically, the licensee would seek an exemption from the requisite provisions of 10 CFR 72.212 and 72.214, namely:
(a)10 CFR 72.212(a)(2) (i.e., general license limited to storage of spent fuel in casks approved under the provisions of this part);
(b)10 CFR 72.212(b)(2)(i)(A) (i.e., perform written evaluations before use establishing that conditions set forth in the CoC have been met);
(c)10 CFR 72.212(b)(7) (i.e., licensee to comply with the terms and conditions of the CoC); and
(d)10 CFR 72.214 (i.e., list of each approved CoC and CoC amendment). As an example, NRC granted an exemption from these regulations to a licensee, allowing the licensee to implement a change approved in Amendment 2 to CoC 1014, for casks loaded under Amendment 1 at the licensee's ISFSI. 10 9 10 CFR 72.7 (“The Commission may, upon application by any interested person or upon its own initiative, grant such exemptions from the requirements of the regulations in this part as it determines are authorized by law and will not endanger life or property or the common defense and security and are otherwise in the public interest”). 10 71 FR 70551 (December 5, 2006). Some general licensees have asserted that 10 CFR 72.48 provides a basis to apply CoC amendment changes to a previously loaded cask, without express NRC approval, even if such changes result in a change to the terms, conditions, or specifications of the CoC under which the cask was loaded. The NRC does not interpret 10 CFR 72.48 (nor 10 CFR 72.212) to allow for such a cask upgrade without express NRC approval. The only reference to 10 CFR 72.48 in 10 CFR 72.212 is that the licensee “shall evaluate any changes to written evaluations required by [10 CFR 72.212(b)(2)(i)] using the requirements of § 72.48(c).” 11 Section 72.48(c) does not expressly refer to previously loaded casks. It also does not appear to contemplate a licensee's application of a newer CoC amendment's changes, either in whole or in part, to a previously loaded cask without NRC approval. Section 72.48(c) refers only to “cask design as described in the [final safety analysis report] FSAR.” 12 11 10 CFR 72.212(b)(2)(ii). Section 72.212(b)(2)(i)(A)-(C) requires the licensee to perform written evaluations, before cask use, that:
(a)establish that the conditions set forth in the CoC have been met;
(b)the cask storage pads and areas have been designed to adequately support static and dynamic loads of the stored casks; and
(c)the requirements of 10 CFR 72.104 have been met (10 CFR 72.104 concerns limiting radiation exposure from ISFSI operations). 12 10 CFR 72.48(c)(1). The October 4, 1999, Statement of Consideration to the rule that revised 10 CFR 72.48 explained the purpose of 10 CFR 72.48(c) as establishing the conditions that a licensee must meet to:
(a)Make changes to cask design as described in the FSAR;
(b)make changes to the procedures as described in the FSAR; or
(c)conduct tests or experiments not described in the FSAR, without prior NRC approval. 13 Specifically, those conditions are that the change, test, or experiment will not require a change in the technical specifications, terms, conditions or specifications incorporated in the CoC, or will not meet any of the criteria in 10 CFR 72.48 paragraph (c)(2). 14 Failure to meet these conditions will require the licensee to seek NRC approval. By these criteria, any “upgrade” to the design basis of a previously loaded cask that requires a change to the terms, conditions, or specifications of that cask's CoC will require express NRC approval before the “upgrade” can be implemented. 13 64 FR 53582, 53609 (October 4, 1999). 14 Paragraph (c)(2) of 10 CFR 72.48 lists additional criteria which, if triggered, require a licensee or certificate holder to obtain NRC approval for the desired change, test, or experiment, e.g., the change, test, or experiment results “in more than a minimal increase in the frequency of occurrence of an accident previously evaluated in the FSAR (as updated).” 10 CFR 72.48(c)(2)(i). Certainly, upon NRC approval of a new CoC amendment for a particular cask model, a licensee can load an empty cask of that model under that amendment, provided the loading is otherwise in accordance with 10 CFR 72.212. A previously loaded cask, however, relies upon an earlier design basis, and the licensee's use of that previously loaded cask is bounded by the terms, conditions, and specifications of the CoC under which that cask was loaded. Backfit Discussion This RIS only provides clarification of 10 CFR part 72, subparts L and K requirements. This RIS does not impose a regulatory staff position or interpretation of the Commission's rules that is either new or different from a previously applicable position. Further, this RIS requires no action or written response. Any addressee action in accordance with the information contained in this RIS is strictly voluntary. Thus, under the provisions of 10 CFR 50.109 and 72.62 this RIS does not constitute a backfit. Consequently, the staff did not perform a backfit analysis. **Federal Register** Notification A notice of opportunity for public comment on this RIS was published in the **Federal Register** (xx FR xxxxx), on {January xx, 2008}.

(301)415-5369; e-mail: *tgm@nrc.gov* . SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Introduction The Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC)has issued a license amendment to Facility Operating License R-115 that allows decommissioning of the University of Illinois's (University's or licensee's) Nuclear Research Laboratory
(NRL)Advanced Teaching Research Isotope General Atomic (TRIGA) Mark II nuclear research reactor located on the campus of the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana in the city of Urbana, Illinois. By letters dated March 28, 2006 (See ADAMS ML060900623), and August 20, 2007 (See ADAMS ML072550089), the licensee submitted a Decommissioning Plan
(DP)in accordance with 10 CFR 50.82(b)(1), in order to dismantle the TRIGA Reactor, to dispose of its component parts and radioactive material, and to decontaminate the facilities in accordance with the proposed DP to meet the Commission's unrestricted release criteria. After the Commission verifies that the release criteria have been met, Facility Operating License No. R-115 will be terminated. The University of Illinois ceased operations of the NRL TRIGA reactor on August 6, 1998, and it was placed in a Safe Storage (SAFSTOR) condition. On August 18, 2004, the reactor fuel was removed and shipped to the U.S. Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory. A “Notice and Solicitation of Comments Pursuant to 10 CFR 20.1405 and 10 CFR 50.82(b)(5) Concerning Proposed Action to Decommission the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Nuclear Reactor Laboratory” was published in the **Federal Register** on August 1, 2006 (71 FR 43528), and in the Champaign County, Illinois daily newspaper, *The News-Gazette* , on August 3, 2006. No comments were received. The University of Illinois is planning unrestricted use for the area that would be released. The NRC Final Rule on License Termination, 10 CFR 20.1402, provides radiological criteria for release of a site for unrestricted use. Release criteria for unrestricted use is a maximum Total Effective Dose Equivalent
(TEDE)of 25 mrem per year from residual radioactivity above background and doses as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA). The results of the final status survey will be used to demonstrate that the predicted dose to a member of the public from any residual radioactivity does not exceed the 25 mrem per year dose limit. The NRC will perform inspections and if necessary a confirmatory survey to verify that the decommissioning activities and the final status survey results are acceptable. Based on the review of the specific proposed activities associated with the dismantling and decontamination of the NRL, which includes the TRIGA Reactor, the staff has determined that the proposed action will not increase the probability or consequences of accidents. No changes are being made in the types of any effluents that may be released off site, and there will be no significant increase in occupational or public radiation exposure above those during the operation of the facility. Therefore, the staff concludes that there are no significant radiological environmental impacts associated with the proposed action. II. Opportunity to Request a Hearing The NRC hereby provides notice that this is a proceeding on an application for a license amendment regarding the decommissioning of the University of Illinois NRL test reactor. Any person whose interest may be affected by this proceeding and who desires to participate as a party must file a request for a hearing and, a specification of the contentions which the person seeks to have litigated in the hearing, in accordance with the NRC E-Filing rule, which the NRC promulgated in August, 2007, 72 FR 49139 (Aug. 28, 2007). The E-Filing rule requires participants to submit and serve documents over the internet or in some cases to mail copies on electronic storage media. Participants may not submit paper copies of their filings unless they seek a waiver in accordance with the procedures described below. To comply with the procedural requirements of E-Filing, at least five
(5)days prior to the filing deadline, the petitioner/requestor must contact the Office of the Secretary by e-mail at *HEARINGDOCKET@NRC.GOV* , or by calling
(301)415-1677, to request
(1)a digital identification
(ID)certificate, which allows the participant (or its counsel or representative) to digitally sign documents and access the E-Submittal server for any proceeding in which it is participating; and/or
(2)creation of an electronic docket for the proceeding (even in instances in which the petitioner/requestor (or its counsel or representative) already holds an NRC-issued digital ID certificate). Each petitioner/requestor will need to download the Workplace Forms Viewer TM to access the Electronic Information Exchange (EIE), a component of the E-Filing system. The Workplace Forms Viewer TM is free and is available at *http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/install-viewer.html* . Information about applying for a digital ID certificate is available on NRC's public Web site at *http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/apply-certificates.html* . Once a petitioner/requestor has obtained a digital ID certificate, had a docket created, and downloaded the EIE viewer, it can then submit a request for hearing or petition for leave to intervene. Submissions should be in Portable Document Format
(PDF)in accordance with NRC guidance available on the NRC public Web site at *http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html.* A filing is considered complete at the time the filer submits its documents through EIE. To be timely, an electronic filing must be submitted to the EIE system no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the due date. Upon receipt of a transmission, the E-Filing system time-stamps the document and sends the submitter an e-mail notice confirming receipt of the document. The EIE system also distributes an e-mail notice that provides access to the document to the NRC Office of the General Counsel and any others who have advised the Office of the Secretary that they wish to participate in the proceeding, so that the filer need not serve the documents on those participants separately. Therefore, applicants and other participants (or their counsel or representative) must apply for and receive a digital ID certificate before a hearing request/petition to intervene is filed so that they can obtain access to the document via the E-Filing system. A person filing electronically may seek assistance through the “Contact Us” link located on the NRC Web site at *http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html* or by calling the NRC technical help line, which is available between 8:30 a.m. and 4:15 p.m., Eastern Time, Monday through Friday. The help line number is
(800)397-4209 or locally,
(301)415-4737. Participants who believe that they have a good cause for not submitting documents electronically must file a motion, in accordance with 10 CFR 2.302(g), with their initial paper filing requesting authorization to continue to submit documents in paper format. Such filings must be submitted by:
(1)First class mail addressed to the Office of the Secretary of the Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, Attention: Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff; or
(2)courier, express mail, or expedited delivery service to the Office of the Secretary, Sixteenth Floor, One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville, Pike, Rockville, Maryland, 20852, Attention: Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff. Participants filing a document in this manner are responsible for serving the document on all other participants. Filing is considered complete by first-class mail as of the time of deposit in the mail, or by courier, express mail, or expedited delivery service upon depositing the document with the provider of the service. Non-timely requests and/or petitions and contentions will not be entertained absent a determination by the Commission, the presiding officer, or the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board that the petition and/or request should be granted and/or the contentions should be admitted based on a balancing of the factors specified in 10 CFR 2.309(c)(1)(i)-(c)(1)(viii). To be timely, filings must be submitted no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the due date. Documents submitted in adjudicatory proceedings will appear in NRC's electronic hearing docket which is available to the public at *http://ehd.nrc.gov/EHD_Proceeding/home.asp* , unless excluded pursuant to an order of the Commission, an Atomic Safety and Licensing Board, or a Presiding Officer. Participants are requested not to include social security numbers in their filings. Copyrighted works, except for limited excerpts that serve the purpose of the adjudicatory filings and would constitute a Fair Use application, should not be included in the submission. The formal requirements for documents contained in 10 CFR 2.304(c)-(e) must be met. If the NRC grants an electronic document exemption in accordance with 10 CFR 2.302(g)(3), then the requirements for paper documents, set forth in 10 CFR 2.304(b) must be met. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(b), a request for a hearing must be filed by March 10, 2008. In addition to meeting other applicable requirements of 10 CFR 2.309, the general requirements involving a request for a hearing filed by a person other than an applicant must state: 1. The name, address, and telephone number of the requester; 2. The nature of the requester's right under the Act to be made a party to the proceeding; 3. The nature and extent of the requester's property, financial or other interest in the proceeding; 4. The possible effect of any decision or order that may be issued in the proceeding on the requester's interest; and 5. The circumstances establishing that the request for a hearing is timely in accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(b). In accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(f)(1), a request for hearing or petitions for leave to intervene must set forth with particularity the contentions sought to be raised. For each contention, the request or petition must: 1. Provide a specific statement of the issue of law or fact to be raised or controverted; 2. Provide a brief explanation of the basis for the contention; 3. Demonstrate that the issue raised in the contention is within the scope of the proceeding; 4. Demonstrate that the issue raised in the contention is material to the findings that the NRC must make to support the action that is involved in the proceeding; 5. Provide a concise statement of the alleged facts or expert opinions which support the requester's/petitioner's position on the issue and on which the requester/petitioner intends to rely to support its position on the issue; and 6. Provide sufficient information to show that a genuine dispute exists with the applicant on a material issue of law or fact. This information must include references to specific portions of the application (including the applicant's environmental report and safety report) that the requester/petitioner disputes and the supporting reasons for each dispute, or, if the requester/petitioner believes the application fails to contain information on a relevant matter as required by law, the identification of each failure and the supporting reasons for the requester's/petitioner's belief. In addition, in accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(f)(2), contentions must be based on documents or other information available at the time the petition is to be filed, such as the application, supporting safety analysis report, environmental report or other supporting document filed by an applicant or licensee, or otherwise available to the petitioner. On issues arising under the National Environmental Policy Act, the requester/petitioner shall file contentions based on the applicant's environmental report. The requester/petitioner may amend those contentions or file new contentions if there are data or conclusions in the NRC draft or final environmental impact statement; and environmental assessment or any supplements relating thereto, that differ significantly from the data or conclusions in the applicant's documents. Otherwise, contentions may be amended or new contentions filed after the initial filing only with leave of the presiding officer. Each contention shall be given a separate numeric or alpha designation within one of the following groups: 1. *Technical* —primarily concerns issues relating to matters discussed or referenced in the Safety Evaluation Report for the proposed action. 2. *Environmental* —primarily concerns issues relating to matters discussed or referenced in the Environmental Report for the proposed action. 3. *Emergency Planning* —primarily concerns issues relating to matters discussed or referenced in the Emergency Plan as it relates to the proposed action. 4. *Physical Security* —primarily concerns issues relating to matters discussed or referenced in the Physical Security Plan as it relates to the proposed action. 5. *Miscellaneous* —does not fall into one of the categories outlined above. If the requester/petitioner believes a contention raises issues that cannot be classified as primarily falling into one of these categories, the requester/petitioner must set forth the contention and supporting bases, in full, separately for each category into which the requester/petitioner asserts the contention belongs with a separate designation for that category. Requesters/petitioners should, when possible, consult with each other in preparing contentions and combine similar subject matter concerns into a joint contention, for which one of the co-sponsoring requesters/petitioners is designated the lead representative. Further, in accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(f)(3), any requester/petitioner that wishes to adopt a contention proposed by another requester/petitioner must do so, in accordance with the E-Filing rule, within ten days of the date the contention is filed, and designate a representative who shall have the authority to act for the requester/petitioner. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(g), a request for hearing and/or petition for leave to intervene may also address the selection of the hearing procedures, taking into account the provisions of 10 CFR 2.310.
