SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :
I. Background 
The International Atomic Energy 
Agency (IAEA) works with its Member States and multiple partners worldwide to promote safe, secure, and peaceful nuclear technologies. The IAEA 
established and maintains an international standard, Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material (SSR–6 (Rev. 1)), to promote the safe and secure transportation of radioactive material. The IAEA periodically reviews and, as deemed appropriate, revises its regulations to reflect new information and accumulated experience. The Department of Transportation (DOT) is the U.S. competent authority for radioactive material transportation matters. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) provides technical support to DOT in this regard, particularly regarding Type B and other fissile transportation packages. 
On February 17, 2022, PHMSA and 
NRC issued a joint Federal Register notice
1to solicit comments on revisions 
to the IAEA regulations. Comments received from that notice were evaluated, edited, and ultimately drafted into a proposed revision of the IAEA regulations alongside recommendations from DOT and NRC. 
VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:24 Mar 08, 2024 Jkt 262001 PO 00000 Frm 00166 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\11MRN1.SGM 11MRN1ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES117538 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 48 / Monday, March 11, 2024 / Notices 
To assure opportunity for public 
participation in the international regulatory development process, DOT and NRC are soliciting comments and information pertaining to the draft proposed changes to the IAEA regulations. Submitted comments will be reviewed and added to the draft if considered appropriate by DOT and NRC staff. Comments added to the proposed draft do not constitute a decision to revise SSR–6 (Rev. 1). 
The focus of this solicitation is to 
identify issues or concerns with a proposed revised draft of SSR–6 (Rev. 1). Comments requesting changes to paragraphs that do not already have proposed changes in the linked draft will not be considered. That draft (number DS543) can be found online at https://www.iaea.org/resources/safety- standards/draft-standards-for-ms- comment. 
The IAEA requests that any proposal 
for a change in SSR–6 (Rev. 1) should demonstrate that the proposed change is: 
•Required to ensure safety and to 
protect people, property, and the environment from harmful effects of ionizing radiation during the transport of radioactive material. 
•Needed to define or redefine the 
level of protection of people, property, and the environment from harmful effects of ionizing radiation during the transport of radioactive material. 
•Required for consistency within 
SSR–6 (Rev. 1). 
•Required as a result of advances in 
technology. 
•Needed to improve implementation 
of SSR–6 (Rev. 1). 
The IAEA also requests that a 
submission of an identified problem in SSR–6 (Rev. 1) for which new text is not proposed should also demonstrate a clear link to the criteria outlined above. Comments and proposed changes should reference the particular paragraphs of concern in SSR–6 (Rev. 1). 
This information, and any associated 
discussions, will assist DOT in examining the full range of views and alternatives as the Agency develops proposals to be submitted to the IAEA for consideration. DOT has not yet fully harmonized its U.S. regulations with the 2012 and 2018 editions of SSR–6. DOT will follow its normal rulemaking 
procedures in any action to harmonize requirements for domestic and international transportation of radioactive materials. This call for input to the IAEA process is separate from any future or current domestic rulemakings. 
II. Public Participation 
PHMSA and the NRC are jointly 
seeking comments on issues concerning 
the changes they have drafted to the requirements in SSR–6 (Rev. 1). The IAEA is considering revisions to the SSR–6 (Rev. 1) regulations as part of its periodic review cycle for a new edition of those requirements. Proposals must be submitted in writing (electronic file in Microsoft Word format preferred). 
DOT and NRC will review the 
proposed issues and identified problems. Proposed issues and identified problems from all Member States and International Organizations will be initially considered at the IAEA Transport Safety Standards Committee (TRANSSC) Meeting to be convened by IAEA on June 10–14, 2024, in Vienna, 
Austria. The subsequent meeting of TRANSSC, to be held in November 2024, will determine whether the aggregate of the accepted proposed changes amounts to a change in requirements that is important in terms of safety. If this is the case, a revision of SSR–6 (Rev. 1) will be initiated by the IAEA. If there is no safety imperative, the issues agreed upon will be considered during the next review cycle scheduled to start in 2027.
