SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The Petition 

On September 20, 2011, the NRC 

published a notice of receipt (76 FR 

58165) of six PRMs filed by the NRDC, 

including PRM–50–102. The petitioner 

solely and specifically cited the 

‘‘Recommendations for Enhancing 

Reactor Safety in the 21st Century: The 

Near-Term Task Force Review of 

Insights from the Fukushima Dai-ichi 

Accident’’ (NTTF Report, ADAMS 

Accession No. ML111861807), dated 

July 12, 2011, as the rationale for the 

PRMs. For PRM–50–102, the petitioner 

cites Section 4.2.5, pages 46–50, of the 

NTTF Report, regarding the 

strengthening and integration of onsite 

emergency response capabilities such as 

emergency operating procedures (EOPs), 

SAMGs, and EDMGs. At the time of 

receipt of the PRMs, the Commission 

was still in the process of reviewing the 

NTTF Report, and the NRC did not 

institute a public comment period for 

the PRMs. 

In PRM–50–102, the petitioner 

requests the NRC to institute a 

rulemaking proceeding applicable to 

nuclear facilities licensed under Title 10 

of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 

CFR) parts 50, 52, and other applicable 

regulations to revise 10 CFR 50.63 to 

require more realistic, hands-on training 

and exercises on SAMGs and EDMGs for 

all staff expected to implement the 

strategies and those licensee staff 

expected to make decisions during 

emergencies, including emergency 

coordinators and emergency directors. 

Reasons for Consideration 

The Commission has established a 

process for addressing a number of the 

recommendations in the NTTF Report, 

and the NRC determined that the issues 

raised in PRM–50–102 are appropriate 

for consideration and will consider 

them in the ongoing NTTF 

Recommendation 8 rulemaking based 

on Section 4.2.5 of the NTTF Report. 

The public will have the opportunity 

to provide comments on the issues 

raised by the petitioner in PRM–50–102 

as part of the NTTF Recommendation 8 

rulemaking. The NRC will consider the

Reporting of Ancillary Airline 

Passenger Revenues 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary (OST), 

Department of Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of Public Meeting. 

SUMMARY: This document announces a 

public meeting on a Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking (NPRM) issued on July 15, 

2011. The NPRM proposed changes 

regarding reporting of airline ancillary 

passenger revenues, computation of 

mishandled baggage rates, and 

collection of separate statistics for 

mishandled wheelchairs and scooters 

used by passengers with disabilities. 

During the public meeting, DOT staff 

will provide a summary of the proposals 

in the NPRM and seek input on costs 

and benefits associated with the 

implementation of the proposals. 

DATES: Meeting Date and Time: The 

public meeting is scheduled for May 17, 

2012, from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and 

from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., Eastern Time. 

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held in 

the Oklahoma City Conference Room 

(located on the lobby level of the West 

Building) at the U.S. Department of 

Transportation, 1200 New Jersey 

Avenue SE., Washington, DC. 

Attendance is open to the public; 

however, since access to the U.S. DOT 

headquarters building is controlled for 

security purposes, any member of the 

general public who plans to attend this 

meeting must notify the Department 

contacts noted below at least ten (10) 

calendar days prior to the meeting.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 

15, 2011, the Department of 

Transportation (DOT or Department) 

published a notice of proposed 

rulemaking in the Federal Register 

proposing to collect airline ancillary 

revenue information in a more detailed 

manner, change the way mishandled 

baggage rates are computed from 

mishandled baggage reports per unit of 

domestic enplanements to mishandled 

bags per unit of checked bags, and fill 

a data gap by collecting separate 

statistics on mishandled wheelchairs 

and scooters used by passengers with 

disabilities. See 76 FR 41726. You may 

review comments to this NPRM at 

www.regulations.gov, docket no. DOT– 

RITA–2011–0001. The Department is 

holding the public meeting primarily for 

the purpose of obtaining additional 

information about current industry 

practices for processing and accounting 

for baggage and wheelchairs. This 

information is critical to determining 

the cost associated with the proposal to 

change the manner in which the 

mishandled baggage rate is calculated 

and the proposal to report on the 

number of mishandled wheelchairs/ 

scooters. We are also interested in 

learning more about the costs associated 

with the proposal to report airline 

ancillary fee revenue. Interested persons 

may provide oral comments at the 

meeting. The Department will also 

accept written materials at the public 

meeting. We will place, in the public 

docket for this rulemaking, any 

materials received at the meeting, as 

well as a summary of the meeting. 

Below are examples of questions that 

the Department intends to pose at the 

public meeting. 

1. Reporting of Ancillary Fee Revenue 

• What is the current industry 

practice regarding ancillary fee revenue 

reporting for the Form 41 financial data? 

The Department would like to 

understand the process and logistics of 

how ancillary revenues are collected 

and transferred into reporting formats. It 

would also be helpful to know the 

amount of staff time required to develop 

the quarterly and semi-annual Form 41 

reports. 

• How would the aforementioned 

systems and processes be adapted for 

carriers to comply with the proposed 

reporting requirement? 

• What new systems and processes 

would be necessary for carriers to 

comply with the proposed reporting 

requirement? 

• What other resource requirements, 

e.g. additional personnel and training, 

would be necessary for carriers to 

comply with the proposed reporting 

requirement? What would be the dollar 

cost of providing those resources? 

• The Department assumes that, as a 

matter of good business practice, 

airlines already collect the ancillary fee 

revenue identified in the proposed 

reporting requirement. Under this 

assumption, the costs of compliance 

with the new reporting requirement are 

estimated to be the necessary one-time 

programming costs to adapt existing 

computer systems (about 40 hours of 

programming for each carrier to capture 

the ancillary revenue items), in addition 

to any recurring annual expenses (e.g. 

staff time) for developing the additional 

reports. Are there airlines that don’t 

already gather information about the 

ancillary fee revenue identified in the 

NPRM? 

• How much lead time is necessary to 

implement the proposed reporting 

requirement? 

• Is there any other information that 

the Department should consider 

regarding the reporting of ancillary fee 

revenue? 

2. The Metric Used To Calculate 

Mishandled Baggage 

• What is the current industry 

practice regarding processing and 

accounting for checked bags that are 

checked at the check-in counter, at the 

self-service bag drop, at the gate, or at 

the jet bridge? The Department would 

like to understand the entire process 

from what happens on the ground and 

the associated data systems when 

passengers check a bag, to what happens 

on the ground and the associated data 

systems when passengers claim the bag 

upon arrival, whether that is at the 

baggage carousel or at the gate or jet 

bridge. 

• What are the existing processes and 

data systems associated with reporting 

mishandled bags? The Department 

would like to understand the reporting 

process from the time the passenger
