28902 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 99 / Wednesday, May 23, 2007 / Proposed Rules 

current regulation does not describe the 

compliance review and appeals 

processes in a single, cohesive section. 

A unified compliance section may 

improve the regulation. 

(f) Revising the portions of the 

regulation regarding evaluation 

[currently found at § 1485.20(c)] to 

include requirements for country 

progress reports and success stories. 

(g) Eliminating the Export Incentive 

Program/Market Access Program (EIP/ 

MAP) subcomponent. FAS does not 

currently operate the EIP/MAP 

subcomponent and is considering 

removing reference to the 

subcomponent from the regulation. 

III. With respect to risk management, 

FAS is soliciting comments regarding 

the mitigation of the risk inherent to 

reimbursing third party contracting 

expenses and brand participant 

activities with program funds. This 

could include improved accounting 

controls, insurance against fraud, 

bonding employees, or other risk 

management tools. 

IV. In addition, FAS requests 

comments on any other aspect of the 

program set forth at 7 CFR part 1485 

which commenters believe should be 

addressed in any future amendment of 

the regulation. 

Dated: May 10, 2007.

Acting Administrator, Foreign Agricultural 

Service, and Vice President, Commodity 

Credit Corporation.

BILLING CODE 3410–34–P 

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

10 CFR Part 50 

[Docket No. PRM–50–84] 

Mark Edward Leyse; Receipt of 

Petition for Rulemaking 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Petition for rulemaking; notice 

of receipt. 

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) has received and 

requests public comment on a petition 

for rulemaking dated March 15, 2007, 

filed by Mark Edward Leyse. The 

petition has been docketed by the NRC 

and has been assigned Docket No. PRM–

50–84. The petitioner is requesting that 

the NRC amend the regulations that 

govern domestic licensing of production 

and utilization facilities to require that 

nuclear power facilities be operated to 

limit the thickness of crud (corrosion 

products) layers and/or the thickness of 

oxide layers on fuel rod cladding 

surfaces. The petitioner also requests 

that the requirements pertaining to 

Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) 

evaluation models be amended to 

require that the steady-state temperature 

distribution and stored energy in reactor 

fuel at the onset of a postulated loss-ofcoolant accident (LOCA) be calculated 

by factoring in the role that the thermal 

resistance of crud and/or oxide layers 

on cladding plays in increasing the 

stored energy in the fuel. Lastly, the 

petitioner requests that the acceptance 

criteria for emergency core cooling 

systems for light-water nuclear power 

reactors be amended to stipulate a 

maximum allowable percentage of 

hydrogen content in cladding of fuel 

rods.
