NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

10 CFR Part 50 

[Docket No. PRM–50–77; NRC–2002–0020] 

Bob Christie; Consideration of Petition 

in Rulemaking Process 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Closure of petition for 

rulemaking docket. 

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) will consider the 

issues raised in a petition for 

rulemaking (PRM) submitted by Bob 

Christie (petitioner) in the NRC’s 

rulemaking process. The petition was 

dated May 2, 2002, and was docketed as 

PRM–50–77. The petitioner requested 

that the NRC amend its regulations at 10 

CFR Part 50, Appendix A, to eliminate 

the requirement for assuming a loss-ofoffsite power (LOOP) coincident with 

postulated accidents. The petitioner 

believes this requirement is detrimental 

to safety because it results in fast start 

time requirements for emergency diesel 

generators (EDG) and because it requires 

operator training to focus on unrealistic 

events. 

DATES: The docket for the petition for 

rulemaking PRM–50–77 is closed on 

April 13, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: You can access publicly 

available documents related to this 

petition for rulemaking using the 

following methods: 

Federal e-Rulemaking Portal: Further 

NRC action on the issues raised by this 

petition will be considered in the 

rulemaking activity directed at 

decoupling an assumed LOOP from a 

coincident loss-of-coolant accident 

(LOCA) as currently required by 10 CFR 

Part 50, Appendix A, Criterion 35. This 

rulemaking activity is entitled, 

‘‘Decoupling of Assumed Loss of Offsite 

Power from Loss-of-Coolant Accident,’’

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 69 / Monday, April 13, 2009 / Proposed Rules 16803 

The Petition 

The NRC received a petition for 

rulemaking (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML082530041) from Bob Christie (the 

petitioner) dated May 2, 2002, which 

was docketed as PRM–50–77. The 

petitioner requested that the NRC 

amend its regulations to eliminate the 

requirement for assuming a LOOP 

coincident with postulated accidents. 

The petitioner believes this requirement 

is detrimental to safety because it 

requires fast start times for emergency 

diesel generators (EDG) and because it 

requires operator training for unrealistic 

events. The petitioner proposed specific 

changes to several of the General Design 

Criteria at 10 CFR part 50, appendix A, 

which, if implemented, would 

accomplish the petition’s request. These 

General Design Criteria include: 

Criterion 17—Electric power systems; 

Criterion 35—Emergency core cooling; 

Criterion 38—Containment heat 

removal; Criterion 41—Containment 

atmosphere cleanup; and Criterion 44— 

Cooling water. 

On June 13, 2002, (67 FR 40622), the 

NRC published a notice of receipt for 

this petition in the Federal Register and 

requested public comment. The public 

comment period ended on August 27, 

2002. One comment letter was received; 

it was in support of the petition. The 

comment letter can be found by 

following the instructions given in the 

ADDRESSES section of this document. 

Resolution of Petition 

The NRC will consider the issues 

raised in PRM–50–77, along with the 

comment submitted on PRM–50–77, in 

the ongoing rulemaking activity directed 

at decoupling an assumed LOOP from a 

coincident LOCA as currently required 

by 10 CFR part 50, appendix A, 

Criterion 35. The NRC believes that the 

underlying technical considerations 

regarding a postulated accident 

coincident with a LOOP are sufficiently 

related to this ongoing rulemaking 

activity; therefore, the issues raised in 

PRM–50–77 are being considered in the 

rulemaking activity. 

The NRC is continuing work to 

develop the technical basis for this 

rulemaking. Although the NRC will 

consider the issues raised in the 

petition, the petitioner’s concerns may 

not be addressed exactly as the 

petitioner has requested. After the 

conclusion of the NRC’s development of 

the technical basis for the rule, the NRC 

will determine whether to adopt the 

petitioner’s requested rulemaking 

changes. During the rulemaking process, 

the NRC will solicit comments from the 

public and will consider all comments 

before issuing a final rule. 

If the ongoing work to establish the 

technical basis for this rulemaking does 

not support the issuance of a proposed 

rule, the NRC will issue a document in 

the Federal Register that addresses why 

the petitioner’s requested rulemaking 

changes were not adopted by the NRC. 

With this action, the NRC closes the 

docket for PRM–50–77. 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 26th day 

of March 2009. 

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Acting Executive Director for Operations.

Identifier 2007–NE–39–AD]

Airworthiness Directives; Honeywell 

International Inc. ALF502 Series and 

LF507 Series Turbofan Engines 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to 

supersede an existing airworthiness 

directive (AD) for Honeywell 

International Inc. ALF502 series and 

LF507 series turbofan engines with 

certain fuel manifold assemblies 

installed. That AD currently requires 

initial and repetitive on-wing eddy 

current or in-shop fluorescent penetrant 

inspections of certain part number (P/N) 

fuel manifold assemblies for cracks, and 

replacement of cracked fuel manifolds 

with serviceable manifolds. This 

proposed AD would continue to require 

inspecting those fuel manifolds for 

cracks, would also add leak checks of 

certain additional P/N fuel manifolds, 

and would specify replacement of the 

affected manifolds as an optional 

terminating action in lieu of the 

repetitive inspections. This proposed 

AD results from reports of fire in the 

engine nacelle. We are proposing this 

AD to detect cracks in certain fuel 

manifolds and fuel leaks from other fuel 

manifolds, which could result in a fire 

in the engine nacelle and a hazard to the 

aircraft. 

DATES: We must receive any comments 

on this proposed AD by June 12, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Use one of the following 

addresses to comment on this proposed 

AD.
