II. Background 

After more than 20 years of regulatory 

experience with dry cask storage and in 

the anticipation of longer storage 

durations and with more nuclear power 

plants storing high burnup fuel (fuel 

with peak rod average burnup greater 

than 45,000 MWd/MTU is considered 

high burnup fuel), the NRC is reviewing 

its policies and regulatory framework 

for dry cask storage and spent fuel 

transportation in several key areas. As 

discussed in COMSECY–10–0007, 

‘‘Project Plan for the Regulatory Program 

Review to Support Extended Storage 

and Transportation of Spent Nuclear 

Fuel’’ (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML101390216), the NRC is currently 

evaluating its spent fuel storage and 

transportation regulatory structure. The 

goal of this review is to identify areas 

for enhancing the regulatory framework 

(e.g. regulations, guidance, procedures 

and processes) to incorporate past 

regulatory knowledge and experience, 

and to ensure long-term stability and 

effectiveness of NRC’s future dry cask 

storage and transportation program. 

NRC expects to consider a number of 

issues for which NRC will request 

public input early in the 

decisionmaking process. Current 

regulatory areas that NRC has identified 

for evaluation and potential 

enhancement include: (1) Compatibility 

and integration of storage and 

transportation requirements; (2) 

streamlining the process for spent fuel 

storage cask design certification; (3) 

administration of storage certificates of 

compliance and amendments to 

certificates of compliance; (4) 

applicability, compatibility, and 

consistency of the storage regulatory 

framework; and (5) regulating standalone ISFSIs. The NRC staff held two 

public meetings on July 27, 2011 and 

August 16, 2012, (see http:// 

www.nrc.gov/waste/spent-fuel-storage/ 

public-involvement.html for more 

information on these two meetings) to 

solicit initial stakeholder feedback on 

these topics. This is the first of a series 

of requests for stakeholder input related 

to these topics that NRC expects to issue 

during its review of its storage and 

transportation regulatory framework. 

III. NRC Consideration of Public 

Comments 

The NRC does not intend to provide 

detailed comment responses to 

information provided by stakeholders in 

response to this request. The NRC staff 

will consider timely comments on this 

request in its evaluation of policy issues 

on retrievability, cladding integrity and 

safe handling of spent fuel. In its efforts 

to enhance the efficiency and 

effectiveness of the regulatory 

framework for spent fuel storage and 

transportation, NRC may ultimately 

revise regulations or guidance. 

Stakeholders will have the opportunity 

to participate in any future rulemaking 

or guidance developments. 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 31st day 

of December, 2012. 

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Director, Division of Spent Fuel Storage and 

Transportation, Office of Nuclear Material

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION 

16 CFR Part 429 

Rule Concerning Cooling-Off Period 

for Sales Made at Homes or at Certain 

Other Locations 

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission. 

ACTION: Proposed rule amendment; 

request for public comment. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Trade 

Commission (‘‘FTC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’) 

has completed its regulatory review of 

the Trade Regulation Rule Concerning 

Cooling-Off Period for Sales Made at 

Homes or at Certain Other Locations 

(‘‘Cooling-Off Rule’’ or ‘‘Rule’’) as part 

of the Commission’s systematic review 

of all current Commission regulations 

and industry guides. The Rule makes it 

an unfair and deceptive act or practice 

for a seller engaged in a door-to-door 

sale of consumer goods or services, with 

a purchase price of $25 or more, to fail 

to provide the buyer with certain oral 

and written disclosures regarding the 

buyer’s right to cancel the contract 

within three business days from the date 

of the sales transaction. Based on the 

comments received, the Commission 

has determined to retain the Rule. In 

addition, the Commission is soliciting 

public comment on a proposed increase 

in the $25 exclusionary limit identified 

in the Rule to account for inflation since 

the exclusionary limit was established. 

DATES: Written comments concerning 

the Cooling-Off Rule must be received 

no later than March 4, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: Interested parties may file a 

comment online or on paper, by 

following the instructions in the 

Request for Comment part of the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section 

below. Write ‘‘Cooling-Off Rule 

Regulatory Review, 16 CFR 429, 

Comment, Project No. P087109’’ on your 

comment, and file your comment online 

at https://ftcpublic.commentworks.com/ 

ftc/coolingoffproposedamend, by 

following the instructions on the webbased form. If you prefer to file your 

comment on paper, mail or deliver your 

comment to the following address: 

Federal Trade Commission, Office of the 

Secretary, Room H–113 (Annex C), 600 

Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington, 

DC 20580. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Sana Coleman Chriss, Attorney, (404) 

656–1364, or Cindy A. Liebes, Regional 

Director, (404) 656–1390, Federal Trade 

Commission, Southeast Region, 225 

Peachtree Street NE., Suite 1500, 

Atlanta, Georgia 30303. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The Commission systematically 

reviews all its rules and guides to 

ensure they continue to achieve their 

intended purpose without unduly 

burdening commerce. These reviews 

seek information about the costs and 

benefits of the rules and guides, and 

their regulatory and economic impact. 

The information obtained assists the 

Commission in identifying rules and 

guides that warrant modification or 

rescission. 

To that end, the Commission sought 

comment on the effectiveness of the 

Cooling-Off Rule, 16 CFR part 429, 

including the continuing need for the 

Rule, its economic impact, and the 

effect of any technological, economic, or 

industry changes on the Rule.1 The 

comment period closed on September 

25, 2009.2 The Commission has 

completed its analysis of the comments
