Albany, New York 12233-0001 

Dear Mr. Walter: 

I am writing in response to your recent letter requesting 

clarification of the definition of the characteristics of ignitability for hazardous wastes. 

Your understanding that the words "it is a liquid, other 

than an aqueous solution containing less than 24 percent alcohol 

by volume" were intended to exclude alcoholic beverages, such as 

wine, and non-liquid materials is correct. However, while the 

Agency's intent was that this exemption apply to potable beverages 

only, because the term "alcohol" was used instead of "ethanol," 

all aqueous wastes which are ignitable only because they contain 

alcohols (here using the term alcohol to mean any chemical containing 

the hydroxyl [-OH] functional group) are excluded from regulation. 

While the Agency completes the process of officially adopting 

a method for identifying "free liquids," for use in the land 

disposal regulations, it is our current practice to employ Method 

9095 (see "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste,SW-946 ̄) for 

such purposes. Any material passing through the paint filter is 

deemed to be a liquid. 

With respect to what constitutes an "aqueous solution," 

such a solution is one in which water is the primary component. 

This means that water constitutes at least 50 percent by 

weight of the sample. Although, we have not officially approved 

any test methods for determining a waste's water content, any 

competent laboratory should be able to make such a determination 

using standard techniques (e.g., Karl Fisher titration, GC). 

We share your concern over the ambiguities in the current 

ignitability definition and have a program underway to correct 

the characteristic's shortcomings. Specifically, changes are 

under development to replace the alcoholic solution exclusion 
 RO 11060 

- 2 - 

with a generic exclusion for those wastes which, while possessing 

a flash point below 60 ̄C, neither continue to burn nor, if they 

do burn, release enough energy to cause a major fire. In addition, 

steps are being taken to expand the ignitability characteristic 

to include wastes which are physical solids. Both of these 

changes will involve proposal and promulgation of specific 

definitional test methods and thresholds. 

I hope this information clears up any questions you may 

have about the ignitability characteristic. If you have any 

further questions concerning any of the hazardous waste 

characteristics, please contact David Friedman, of my staff, at 

202-382-4770. 

Sincerely yours,

MEMORANDUM TO: R. W. Borchardt 

 Executive Director for Operations 

FROM: Kenneth R. Hart, Acting Secretary /RA/

SUBJECT: STAFF REQUIREMENTS – SECY-12-0053 – 

RECOMMENDATIONS ON REGULATORY CHANGES FOR 

PERMANENT IMPLANT BRACHYTHERAPY PROGRAMS 

The Commission has approved the staff’s recommendations for modifying the regulatory 

requirements that appear in 10 CFR 35.3045 for permanent implant brachytherapy medical 

event reporting, as outlined in the enclosure to SECY-12-0053, and conforming changes to the 

current written directive requirements in 10 CFR 35.40(b)(6). These modifications should be 

developed as part of the proposed rule for the expanded 10 CFR Part 35 rulemaking. 

Ahead of the current schedule for the expanded 10 CFR Part 35 rulemaking, the staff should 

clarify medical event reporting for permanent implant brachytherapy under the existing rule as 

outlined in the May 23, 2012, Commissioners’ Assistants Note, “Options to Clarify Medical 

Event Reporting for Permanent Implant Brachytherapy.” Specifically, the staff should pursue 

Option 3, issuance of a Regulatory Issue Summary to NRC medical use licensees and to 

Agreement State regulatory programs to provide insights about compliance with the current 

NRC requirements related to permanent implant brachytherapy. The staff should also pursue 

Option 5, development of an interim enforcement policy for Commission approval that would 

allow the staff to exercise enforcement discretion for both existing and future violations of 

current Part 35 that do not result in the misapplication of byproduct material by those licensees 

that use total source strength and treatment time for determining the existence of a medical 

event. The interim enforcement policy should be shared with the Agreement States so that they 

may choose whether or not to use a similar interim policy. 

The staff should replace the term “seeds” with “sources” in all 10 CFR Part 35 rulemaking 

documentation. 

As the combined rulemaking proceeds, the staff should provide the Commission with a new 

paper at any time a substantive delay in the completion schedule for this rule becomes 

apparent. This paper should explain the schedule delay and the impact of separating a 

permanent implant brachytherapy rule from the combined rulemaking. 

Where possible, the staff should leverage the significant outreach done during the development 

of the regulatory basis for the proposed rule to further streamline the rulemaking process.

#### § 270.320 Entry and inspection of site where a building failure has occurred.

When the Director establishes and deploys a Team, the Team members will be issued notices of inspection authority to enter and inspect the site where the building failure has occurred.
§ 270.1 Description of rule; purpose; applicability. ( a ) The National Construction Safety Team Act (the Act) (Pub. L. 107-231) provides for the establishment of investigative teams to assess building performance and emergency response and evacuation procedures in the wake of any building failure that has resulted in substantial loss of life or that posed significant potential of substantial loss of life.
( b ) ( 1 ) The purpose of the Act is to provide for the establishment of investigative teams to assess building performance and emergency response and evacuation procedures in the wake of any building failure that has resulted in substantial loss of life or that posed significant potential of substantial loss of life. The role of NIST in implementing the Act is to understand the factors contributing to the building failure and to develop recommendations for improving national building and fire model codes, standards, and practices. To do this, the Teams produce technical reports containing data, findings, and recommendations for consideration by private sector bodies responsible for the affected national building and fire model code, standard, or practice. While NIST is an active participant in many of these organizations, NIST's recommendations are one of many factors considered by these bodies. NIST is not now and will not become a participant in the processes and adoption of practices, standards, or codes by state or local regulatory authorities.
( 2 ) It is not NIST's role to determine whether a failed building resulted from a criminal act, violated any applicable federal requirements or state or local code or regulatory requirements, or to determine any culpability associated therewith. These are matters for other federal, state, or local authorities, who enforce their regulations.
( c ) This part is applicable to the establishment and deployment of Teams and the conduct of investigations under the Act.

BANKING IN RUSSIA'S REGIONS

----

**July 1997**
by Lana Simkina
Firms doing business in Moscow are already growing accustomed to the wide range of bankingservices now available in the Russian capital, including corporate banking, lending, and securitiestransactions.  Beyond Moscow, however, regional banks are still widely viewed with skepticism. With Russia's banking system in a state of rapid change, BISNIS set out recently to learn whatbanking services are available outside Moscow, how risky regional banking may be, and what tolook for in choosing regional banking services.
There are at least three options when selecting regional corporate banking services.  If yourcompany is based in Moscow and only conducts business elsewhere on occasion, all interregionaltransactions can be conducted through correspondent accounts at an appropriate Moscow bank. As your firm's regional operations grow, however, banking from Moscow may become expensiveor inconvenient.  At this point, you may want to consider opening an account with a regional bankor moving to a regional branch of a Moscow-based bank.
