hearingdocket@nrc.gov, or by calling 

(301) 415–1677, to request: (1) A digital 

ID certificate, which allows the 

participant (or its counsel or 

representative) to digitally sign 

documents and access the E-Submittal 

server for any NRC proceeding in which 

it is participating; and/or (2) creation of 

an electronic docket for the proceeding 

(even in instances when the requestor 

(or its counsel or representative) already 

holds an NRC-issued digital ID 

certificate). Each requestor will need to 

download the Workplace Forms ViewerJ 

to access the Electronic Information 

Exchange (EIE), a component of the EFiling system. The Workplace Forms 

ViewerTM is free and is available at 

http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals/install-viewer.html. 

Information about applying for a digital 

ID certificate also is available on NRC’s 

public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/ 

site-help/e-submittals/applycertificates.html. 

Once a requestor has obtained a 

digital ID certificate, had a docket 

created, and downloaded the EIE 

viewer, it can then submit a request for 

a hearing through EIE. 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/esubmittals.html. A filing is considered 

complete at the time the filer submits its 

document through EIE. To be timely, 

electronic filings must be submitted to 

the EIE system no later than 11:59 p.m. 

Eastern 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 document on those 

participants separately. Therefore, any 

others who wish to participate in the 

proceeding (or their counsel or 

representative) must apply for and 

receive a digital ID certificate before a 

hearing request is filed so that they may 

obtain access to the document via the EFiling system. 

A person filing electronically using 

the agency’s adjudicatory e-filing system 

may seek assistance through the 

‘‘Contact Us’’ link located on the NRC 

Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/sitehelp/e-submittals.html or by calling the 

NRC Meta-System Help Desk, which is 

available between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., 

Eastern Time, Monday through Friday, 

excluding government holidays. The 

Meta-System Help Desk can be 

contacted by telephone at 1–866–672– 

7640 or by e-mail at 

MSHD.Resource@nrc.gov. 

Participants who believe that they 

have 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 firstclass 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. 

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 

personal privacy information, such as 

social security numbers, home 

addresses, or home phone numbers in 

their filings. With respect to copyrighted 

works, except for limited excerpts that 

serve the purpose of the adjudicatory 

filings and would constitute a Fair Use 

application, participants are requested 

not to include copyrighted materials in 

their works. 

If a person other than Earth 

Exploration 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 2.309(d) and (f). 

If the 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 should 

be sustained. In the absence of any 

request for hearing, or written approval 

of an extension of time in which to 

request a hearing, the provisions 

specified in Section V above shall be 

final 20 days from the date this Order 

is published in the Federal Register 

without further order or proceedings. If 

an extension of time for requesting a 

hearing has been approved, the 

provisions specified in Section V shall 

be final when the extension expires, if 

a hearing request has not been received. 

A request for hearing shall not stay 

the immediate effectiveness of this 

order. 

For the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission.

[NRC–2008–0439] 

Office of New Reactors; Final Interim 

Staff Guidance on Evaluation and 

Acceptance Criteria for 10 CFR 20.1406 

To Support Design Certification and 

Combined License Applications 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC). 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The NRC is issuing its Final 

Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) DC/COL– 

ISG–06 (Agencywide Documents Access 

and Management System (ADAMS) 

Accession No. ML092470100). The 

purpose of this ISG is to clarify NRC 

position on what is an acceptable level 

of detail and content for demonstrating 

compliance with Title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations, Section 20.1406 

(10 CFR 20.1406). Regulatory Guide 

4.21, ‘‘Minimization of Contamination 

and Waste Generation: Life Cycle 

Planning,’’ provides an acceptable 

method of demonstrating compliance. 

This ISG provides further clarification 

on the evaluation and acceptance 

criteria that will be used by NRC staff 

in reaching a reasonable assurance 

finding that a design certification (DC) 

or combined license (COL) applicant 

has complied with the requirements of 

10 CFR 20.1406. The NRC staff issues 

DC/COL–ISGs to facilitate timely 

implementation of current staff 

guidance and to facilitate activities 

associated with review of applications 

for DCs and COLs by the Office of New 

Reactors. The NRC staff will also 

incorporate the approved DC/COL–ISG– 

06 into the next revision of the SRP and 

related guidance documents.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[NRC–2009–0444] 

Notice of Opportunity for Public 

Comment on the Proposed Model 

Safety Evaluation for Plant-Specific 

Adoption of Technical Specification 

Task Force Traveler-513, Revision 2, 

‘‘Revise PWR Operability 

Requirements and Actions for RCS 

Leakage Instrumentation’’ 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC). 

ACTION: Notice of opportunity for public 

comment. 

SUMMARY: The NRC is requesting public 

comment on the enclosed proposed 

model safety evaluation, model no 

significant hazards consideration 

determination, and model application 

for plant-specific adoption of Technical 

Specification Task Force (TSTF) 

Traveler-513, Revision 2, ‘‘Revise PWR 

Operability Requirements and Actions 

for RCS Leakage Instrumentation.’’ The 

TSTF Traveler-513, Revision 2, is 

available in the Agencywide Documents 

Access Management System (ADAMS) 

under Accession Number 

ML091810158. The proposed changes 

revise Standard Technical Specification 

(STS) [3.4.15], ‘‘[Reactor Coolant System 

(RCS) Leakage Detection 

Instrumentation].’’ The proposed 

changes also revise the STS Bases to 

clearly define the RCS leakage detection 

instrumentation Operability 

requirements in the Limiting Condition 

for Operation (LCO) Bases, eliminate 

discussion from the STS Bases that 

could be erroneously construed as 

Operability requirements, and reflect 

the changes to the TSs. This model 

safety evaluation will facilitate 

expedited approval of plant-specific 

adoption of TSTF Traveler-513, 

Revision 2. 

DATES: Comment period expires 

November 9, 2009 Comments received 

after this date will be considered, if it 

is practical to do so, but the 

Commission is able to ensure 

consideration only for comments 

received on or before this date. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

by any one of the following methods. 

Please include Docket ID NRC–2009– 

0444 in the subject line of your 

comments. Comments submitted in 

writing or in electronic form will be 

posted on the NRC Web site and on the 

Federal rulemaking Web site 

Regulations.gov. Because your 

comments will not be edited to remove 

any identifying or contact information,
