installment agreement, however, the IRS 

may authorize the Department of Justice 

to file a counterclaim or third-party 

complaint in a refund action or to join 

that person in any other proceeding in 

which liability for the tax that is the 

subject of the installment agreement or 

proposed installment agreement may be 

established or disputed, including a suit 

against the United States under 28 

U.S.C. 2410. In addition, the United 

States may file a claim in any 

bankruptcy proceeding or insolvency 

action brought by or against such 

person. If a person named in an 

installment agreement is joined in a 

proceeding, the United States obtains a 

judgment against that person, and the 

case is referred back to the IRS for 

collection, collection will continue to 

occur pursuant to the terms of the 

installment agreement. Notwithstanding 

the installment agreement, any claim or 

suit permitted will be for the full 

amount of the liabilities owed. 

(g) Suspension of the statute of 

limitations on collection. The statute of 

limitations under section 6502 for 

collection of any liability shall be 

suspended during the period that a 

proposed installment agreement relating 

to that liability is pending with the IRS, 

for 30 days immediately following the 

rejection of a proposed installment 

agreement, and for 30 days immediately 

following the termination of an 

installment agreement. If, within the 30 

days following the rejection or 

termination of an installment 

agreement, the taxpayer files an appeal 

with Appeals, the statute of limitations 

for collection shall be suspended while 

the rejection or termination is being 

considered by Appeals. The statute of 

limitations for collection shall continue 

to run if an exception under paragraph 

(f)(2) of this section applies and levy is 

not prohibited with respect to the 

taxpayer. 

(h) Annual statement. The 

Commissioner shall provide each 

taxpayer who is party to an installment 

agreement under this section with an 

annual statement setting forth the initial 

balance owed at the beginning of the 

year, the payments made during the 

year, and the remaining balance as of 

the end of the year. 

(i) Biannual review of partial payment 

installment agreements. The 

Commissioner shall perform a review of 

the taxpayer’s financial condition in the 

case of a partial payment installment 

agreement at least once every two years. 

The purpose of this review is to 

determine whether the taxpayer’s 

financial condition has significantly 

changed so as to warrant an increase in 

the value of the payments being made 

or termination of the agreement. 

(j) Cross reference. Pursuant to section 

6601(b)(1), the last day prescribed for 

payment is determined without regard 

to any installment agreement, including 

for purposes of computing penalties and 

interest provided by the Internal 

Revenue Code. For special rules 

regarding the computation of the failure 

to pay penalty while certain installment 

agreements are in effect, see section 

6651(h) and § 301.6651–1(a)(4). 

(k) Effective date. This section is 

applicable on the date final regulations 

are published in the Federal Register. 

Par. 4. Section 301.6331–4 is revised 

to read as follows: 

§ 301.6331–4 Restrictions on levy while 

installment agreements are pending or in 

effect.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The use of ionizing radiation has 

increased significantly in recent years. 

Today, ionizing radiation is used in a 


erjones on PRODPC74 with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 42 / Monday, March 5, 2007 / Proposed Rules 9717 

wide variety of workplaces and 

operations, including security 

operations, hospitals and medical 

offices, dental offices, manufacturing 

worksites, research facilities, forestry 

and other agricultural worksites, and 

wastewater treatment plants. 

In 2005, OSHA initiated information 

collection efforts to obtain data, 

information, and comment on the 

increased workplace use of ionizing 

radiation and other related issues. These 

efforts started with the publication of a 

Request for Information (RFI) on May 3, 

2005 (70 FR 22828). OSHA received 51 

comments in response to the RFI. To 

supplement this information, OSHA is 

inviting interested parties to attend 

informal stakeholder meetings on the 

Occupational Exposure to Ionizing 

Radiation. OSHA will use the data and 

materials obtained through these 

information collections efforts to 

determine, in conjunction with other 

Federal agencies, whether regulatory 

action is necessary to protect employees 

from ionizing radiation exposure. 

OSHA’s existing standard on Ionizing 

Radiation (29 CFR 1910.1096) was 

adopted in 1971 pursuant to section 6(a) 

of the Act (29 U.S.C. 655). The standard 

has remained largely unchanged since 

that time. 

OSHA’s Ionizing Radiation standard 

applies to all workplaces except 

agricultural operations and those 

workplaces exempted from OSHA 

jurisdiction under section 4(b)(1) of the 

Occupational Safety and Health Act of 

1970 (the Act) (29 U.S.C. 653). Section 

4(b)(1) states: 

Nothing in this Act shall apply to working 

conditions of employees with respect to 

which other Federal agencies, and State 

agencies acting under section 274 of the 

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 

U.S.C. 2021), exercise statutory authority to 

prescribe or enforce standards or regulations 

affecting occupational safety and health. 

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission 

(NRC) has statutory authority for 

licensing and regulating nuclear 

facilities and materials as mandated by 

the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (as 

amended)(42 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.), the 

Energy Reorganization Act of 1974 (as 

amended), the Nuclear Nonproliferation 

Act of 1978, and other applicable 

statutes. Specifically, the NRC has the 

authority to regulate source, byproduct 

and certain special nuclear materials 

(e.g., nuclear reactor fuel). This 

authority covers radiation hazards in 

NRC-licensed nuclear facilities 

produced by radioactive materials and 

plant conditions that affect the safety of 

radioactive materials and thus present 

an increased radiation hazard to 

workers. 

In 1988, OSHA and NRC signed a 

memorandum of understanding (MOU) 

delineating the general areas of 

responsibility of each agency (CPL 2.86, 

December 22, 1989). The MOU specifies 

that at NRC-licensed facilities OSHA 

has authority to regulate occupational 

ionizing radiation sources not regulated 

by NRC (CPL 2.86). Examples of nonNRC regulated radiation sources include 

X-ray equipment, accelerators, electron 

microscopes, betatrons, and some 

naturally occurring radiation sources 

(CPL 2.86). (See the Ionizing Radiation 

RFI (70 FR 22828) for additional 

information on sources of ionizing 

radiation exposure, workplace uses of 

ionizing radiation, and health effects of 

ionizing radiation exposure.) 

Most recently, the Energy Policy Act 

of 2005 authorized NRC to regulate 

material made radioactive by 

accelerators by adding ‘‘acceleratorproduced material’’ to the definition of 

‘‘byproduct material’’ that NRC is 

authorized to license and regulate. The 

Energy Policy Act directed NRC to issue 

licensing and compliance oversight 

regulations to carry out the legislation. 

Until NRC issues and begins enforcing 

those regulations, OSHA retains 

authority over both accelerators and the 

materials they produce. 

Stakeholder Meetings 

OSHA intends to hold four 

stakeholder meetings on Occupational 

Exposure to Ionizing Radiation, two of 

which the Agency is announcing in this 

notice. OSHA will publish a Federal 

Register notice announcing the other 

two stakeholder meetings when meeting 

arrangements are finalized. The first 

stakeholder meeting, to be held in 

Washington, DC, will cover the uses of 

ionizing radiation in the healing arts, 

including medicine, dentistry, 

chiropractor services and veterinary 

medicine. The second stakeholder 

meeting, to be held in Orlando, FL, in 

conjunction with the Annual Research 

Symposium of the American Society for 

Nondestructive Testing, will cover 

nondestructive testing. The other two 

stakeholder meetings will cover nonmedical use of accelerators and the use 

of ionizing radiation in security 

operations. OSHA encourages interested 

parties to attend only the stakeholder 

meeting that deals with their industry, 

occupation, or operation. 

The stakeholder meetings will be an 

opportunity for informal discussion and 

the exchange of data, ideas, and points 

of view. To make the stakeholder 

meetings as productive as possible, 

OSHA requests that interested parties 

attending stakeholder meetings be 

prepared to discuss the following issues 

relating to occupational exposure to 

ionizing radiation in their respective 

industries, occupations, or operations: 

• Uses of ionizing radiation; 

• Available exposure data; 

• Controls utilized to minimize 

exposure; and 

• Training. 

In addition, OSHA will use the 

stakeholder meetings to discuss 

comments and materials received in 

response to the RFI. 

Each stakeholder meeting will begin 

with OSHA’s presentation on Agency 

responsibilities related to occupational 

exposure to ionizing radiation followed 

by stakeholder questions. OSHA will 

devote the remainder of each meeting to 

informal discussions on the topics 

above and related issues. In particular, 

OSHA is interested in hearing firsthand 

from employers and employees and in 

reviewing exposure data. Meeting 

participants are not expected to prepare 

and present formal testimony. 

Public Participation—Submission of 

Notices of Intention To Attend and
