closed pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b (c)(2) and 

(6) to discuss organizational and personnel 

matters that relate solely to internal 

personnel rules and practices of ACRS, and 

information the release of which would 

constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of 

personal privacy.] 

11:45 a.m.–12 p.m.: Reconciliation of 

ACRS Comments and 

Recommendations (Open)—The 

Committee will discuss the responses 

from the NRC Executive Director for

Saturday, April 4, 2009, Conference 

Room T–2B3, Two White Flint North, 

Rockville, Maryland 

8:30 a.m.–1 p.m.: Preparation of 

ACRS Reports (Open)—The Committee 

will continue its discussion of proposed 

ACRS reports. 

1 p.m.–1:15 p.m.: Miscellaneous 

(Open)—The Committee will discuss 

matters related to the conduct of 

Committee activities and specific issues 

that were not completed during 

previous meetings, as time and 

availability of information permit. 

Procedures for the conduct of and 

participation in ACRS meetings were 

published in the Federal Register on 

October 6, 2008, (73 FR 58268–58269). 

In accordance with those procedures, 

oral or written views may be presented 

by members of the public, including 

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 

by contacting the Cognizant ACRS staff 

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 

invasion of personal privacy pursuant to 

5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(2) and (6). 

Further information regarding topics 

to be discussed, whether the meeting 

has been canceled or rescheduled, as 

well as the Chairman’s ruling on 

requests for the opportunity to present 

oral statements and the time allotted 

therefor can be obtained by contacting

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

OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES 

TRADE REPRESENTATIVE 

Determinations Under the African 

Growth and Opportunity Act; 

Correction 

AGENCY: Office of the United States 

Trade Representative. 

ACTION: Notice; correction. 

SUMMARY: The United States Trade 

Representative (USTR) published a 

document in the Federal Register of 

August 4, 2006, concerning a 

determination under the African Growth 

and Opportunity Act (AGOA) in respect 

of Burkina Faso. The document did not 

expressly include a modification to list 

Burkina Faso in note 2(d) to Subchapter 

XIX of chapter 98 of the Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States 

(HTSUS). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Elizabeth Baltzan, Office of the General 

Counsel, Office of the United States 

Trade Representative, (202) 395–3582. 

Correction 

In the Federal Register Notice of 

August 4, 2006, the USTR determined 

that Burkina Faso had met certain 

customs requirements under the AGOA. 

President Bush had by Proclamation 

7853 previously designated Burkina 

Faso as a lesser developed beneficiary 

country for purposes of what was then 

Section 112(b)(3)(B) of the AGOA. U.S. 

Note 2(d) to Subchapter XIX of chapter 

98 of the HTSUS provides that countries 

qualifying for designation as a lesser 

developed beneficiary country shall be 

enumerated therein. The Federal 

Register notice reflecting the USTR’s 

determination in respect of Burkina 

Faso did not expressly modify that Note 

to include Burkina Faso. Accordingly, 

Note 2(d) to subchapter XIX of chapter 

98 of the HTSUS is modified by 

inserting ‘‘Burkina Faso’’ in alphabetical 

sequence in the list of countries.

importation of eligible articles when 

imported from designated beneficiary 

developing countries. The GSP program 

is authorized by Title V of the Trade Act 

of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2461, et seq.), as 

amended (the 1974 Act), and is 

implemented in accordance with 

Executive Order 11888 of November 24, 

1975, as modified by subsequent 

Executive Orders and Presidential 

Proclamations. 

Pursuant to 15 CFR 2007.0(b), the GSP 

Subcommittee of the Trade Policy Staff 

Committee (TPSC) has recommended 

the acceptance and continuation of the 

review of, and the TPSC has accepted 

and continued the review of, several 

country practice petitions: Petitions 

regarding worker rights in Bangladesh, 

Niger, the Republic of the Philippines, 

and Uzbekistan; and petitions regarding 

protection of intellectual property in 

Lebanon, Russia, and Uzbekistan. For 

additional information, see the ‘‘List of 

2008 Annual Review Country Practice 

Petitions under Further Review’’ posted 

on the USTR Web site and available at: 

http://www.regulations.gov/, docket 

number USTR–2009–0009. Acceptance 

of a petition for review does not indicate 

any opinion with respect to the 

disposition on the merits of the petition. 

Acceptance indicates only that the 

petition has been found eligible for 

review by the TPSC and that such 

review will take place. 

A Federal Register notice dated 

January 21, 2009, 74 FR 3657, indicated 

that the decision whether to accept the 

country practice petitions with respect 

to worker rights in Iraq and Sri Lanka 

that were submitted for inclusion in the 

2008 Annual Review, and a country 

practice petition submitted regarding 

the Republic of the Philippines, which 

has since been withdrawn, was 

expected to be announced no later than 

March 15, 2009. The decision whether 

to accept the country practice petitions 

for Iraq and Sri Lanka in the GSP 2008 

Annual Review has been further 

deferred. Once a decision is made, it
