In accordance with those procedures, 

oral or written views may be presented

representatives of the nuclear industry. 

Electronic recordings will be permitted 

only during the open portions of the 

meeting. Persons desiring to make oral 

statements should notify the Cognizant 

ACRS staff named below five days 

before the meeting, if possible, so that 

appropriate arrangements can be made 

to allow necessary time during the 

meeting for such statements. Use of still, 

motion picture, and television cameras 

during the meeting may be limited to 

selected portions of the meeting as 

determined by the Chairman. 

Information regarding the time to be set 

aside for this purpose may be obtained

prior to the meeting. In view of the 

possibility that the schedule for ACRS 

meetings may be adjusted by the 

Chairman as necessary to facilitate the 

conduct of the meeting, persons 

planning to attend should check with 

the Cognizant ACRS staff if such 

rescheduling would result in major 

inconvenience. 

In accordance with Subsection 10(d) 

Public Law 92–463, I have determined 

that it may be necessary to close a 

portion of this meeting noted above to 

discuss organizational and personnel 

matters that relate solely to internal 

personnel rules and practices of ACRS, 

and information the release of which 

constitute a clearly unwarranted

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 50–315; License No. DPR–58; 

NRC–2009–0111] 

Indiana Michigan Power Company; 

Receipt of Request for Action Under 10 

CFR 2.206 

Notice is hereby given that by petition 

dated December 16, 2008, Mr. David 

Lochbaum (petitioner) has requested 

that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) take action with 

regard to the licensee for the Donald C. 

Cook Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1. The 

petitioner requests that the NRC issue a 

demand for information requiring the 

licensee to docket information regarding 

the following four issues at least 30 days 

before restarting the reactor from the 

current outage: 

(1) The vibration levels experienced 

in the control room, turbine building, 

and other structures during the 

September 20, 2008, event; 

(2) The vibration levels assumed in 

these locations during the safeshutdown earthquake (SSE); 

(3) In locations where the vibration 

levels during the September 20, 2008, 

event exceeded the vibration levels 

assumed for an SSE, the extent to which 

piping and pipe supports were replaced 

or repaired because of potential stress 

damage and the bases for not replacing 

other structures, systems, and 

components exposed to greater than SSE 

loading; and 

(4) In locations where the vibration 

levels during the September 20, 2008, 

event did not exceed the vibration levels 

assumed for an SSE, the extent of the 

measures taken to protect against 

spurious equipment operation and the 

bases for concluding that the as-left 

configuration will not pose a public 

health hazard in event of an SSE. 

As the basis for this request, the 

petitioner states that the event caused 

significant vibration levels that caused 

spurious operation of standby 

equipment and may have contributed to 

a breach that seriously impaired the fire 

protection system. The petitioner 

further states that the information being 

sought in the petition is needed to apply 

the proper lessons from the event to the 

future operation of the Donald C. Cook 

Nuclear Plant, Unit 1. The petitioner 

states that without this information, the 

NRC cannot be assured of, and the 

public is therefore not adequately 

protected from, significant adverse 

safety implications of an SSE causing 

spurious actuation of equipment. 

The NRC is treating the request 

pursuant to Title 10, Section 2.206, 

‘‘Requests for Action under This 

Subpart,’’ of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR 2.206). The request 

has been referred to the Director of the 

Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. As 

provided by 10 CFR 2.206, the NRC will 

take appropriate action on this petition 

within a reasonable time. A copy of the 

petition is available for inspection at the 

Commission’s Public Document Room 

(PDR), located at One White Flint North, 

Public File Area O1 F21, 11555
