Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 114 / Tuesday, June 14, 2022 / Proposed Rules 35923 

if the comments do not change the 

Administrator’s determination, APHIS 

will publish a second notice in the 

Federal Register designating the taxon 

as associated with Phytophthora 

ramorum and listing it. 

■ 91. Section 301.92–3 is amended by 

revising paragraph (a) to read as follows: 

§ 301.92–3 Quarantined areas and 

regulated establishments. 

(a) Quarantined areas. (1) Except as 

otherwise provided in paragraph (a)(2) 

of this section, the Administrator will 

designate as a quarantined area each 

State or portion of a State in which 

Phytophthora ramorum has been 

confirmed by an inspector to be 

established in the natural environment, 

in which the Administrator has reason 

to believe that Phytophthora ramorum is 

present in the natural environment, or 

that the Administrator considers it 

necessary to quarantine because of its 

inseparability for quarantine 

enforcement purposes from localities in 

which Phytophthora ramorum has been 

found in the natural environment. The 

Administrator will publish a list of all 

quarantined areas (the quarantine list) 

on the PPQ website at 

www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus/

planthealth/plant-pest-and-diseaseprograms/pests-and-diseases/ 

phytophthora-ramorum/sod. The list 

will include the date that the list was 

last updated. Lists of all quarantined 

areas may also be obtained by request 

from any local office of PPQ; local 

offices are listed in telephone 

directories and on the internet at 

www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus/ 

planthealth/ppq-program-overview/ 

sphd. After a change is made to the list 

of quarantined areas, APHIS will 

publish a notice in the Federal Register 

informing the public that the change has 

occurred and describing the change to 

the quarantined areas. Less than an 

entire State will be designated as a 

quarantined area only if the 

Administrator determines that: 

(i) The State has adopted and is 

enforcing restrictions on the intrastate 

movement of regulated, restricted, and 

associated articles that are substantially 

the same as those imposed by this 

subpart on the interstate movement of 

regulated, restricted, and associated 

articles; and 

(ii) The designation of less than the 

entire State as a quarantined area will 

prevent the interstate spread of 

Phytophthora ramorum. 

(2) The Administrator or an inspector 

may temporarily designate any 

nonquarantined area as a quarantined 

area in accordance with the criteria in 

paragraph (a)(1) of this section. The 

Administrator or the inspector will give 

a copy of this regulation along with a 

written notice for the temporary 

designation to the owner or person in 

possession of the nonquarantined area. 

Thereafter, the interstate movement of 

any regulated, restricted, or associated 

article from the area temporarily 

designated as a quarantined area will be 

subject to this subpart. As soon as 

practicable, this area will be added to 

the quarantine list or the designation 

will be terminated by the Administrator 

or an inspector. The owner or person in 

possession of an area for which 

designation is terminated will be given 

notice of the termination as soon as 

practicable.

II. Rulemaking Procedure 

Because the NRC considers this action 

to be non-controversial, the NRC is 

publishing this proposed rule 

concurrently with a direct final rule in 

the Rules and Regulations section of this 

issue of the Federal Register. The direct 

final rule will become effective on 

August 29, 2022. However, if the NRC 

receives any significant adverse 

comment by July 14, 2022, then the NRC 

will publish a document that withdraws 

the direct final rule. If the direct final 

rule is withdrawn, the NRC will address 

the comments in a subsequent final rule. 

Absent significant modifications to the 

proposed revisions requiring 

republication, the NRC will not initiate 

a second comment period on this action 

in the event the direct final rule is 

withdrawn. 

A significant adverse comment is a 

comment where the commenter 

explains why the rule would be 

inappropriate, including challenges to 

the rule’s underlying premise or 

approach, or would be ineffective or 

unacceptable without a change. A 

comment is adverse and significant if: 

(1) The comment opposes the rule and 

provides a reason sufficient to require a 

substantive response in a notice-andcomment process. For example, a 

substantive response is required when: 

(a) The comment causes the NRC to 

reevaluate (or reconsider) its position or 

conduct additional analysis; 

(b) The comment raises an issue 

serious enough to warrant a substantive 

response to clarify or complete the 

record; or 

(c) The comment raises a relevant 

issue that was not previously addressed 

or considered by the NRC. 

(2) The comment proposes a change 

or an addition to the rule, and it is 

apparent that the rule would be 

ineffective or unacceptable without 

incorporation of the change or addition. 

(3) The comment causes the NRC to 

make a change (other than editorial) to 

the rule. 

For a more detailed discussion of the 

proposed rule changes and associated 

analyses, see the direct final rule 

published in the Rules and Regulations 

section of this issue of the Federal 

Register. 

III. Background 

Section 218(a) of the Nuclear Waste 

Policy Act of 1982, as amended, 

requires that ‘‘[t]he Secretary [of the 

Department of Energy] . . . establish a 

demonstration program, in cooperation 

with the private sector, for the dry 

storage of spent nuclear fuel at civilian 

nuclear power reactor sites, with the 

objective of establishing one or more 

technologies that the [Nuclear 

Regulatory] Commission may, by rule, 

approve for use at the sites of civilian 

nuclear power reactors without, to the 

maximum extent practicable, the need 

for additional site-specific approvals by 

the Commission.’’ Section 133 of the 

Nuclear Waste Policy Act states, in part, 

that ‘‘[t]he Commission shall, by rule, 

establish procedures for the licensing of 

any technology approved by the 

Commission under Section 219(a) [sic: 

218(a)] for use at the site of any civilian 

nuclear power reactor.’’ 

To implement this mandate, the 

Commission approved dry storage of 

spent nuclear fuel in NRC-approved 

casks under a general license by 

publishing a final rule that added a new 

subpart K in part 72 of title 10 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 

entitled ‘‘General License for Storage of 

Spent Fuel at Power Reactor Sites’’ (55 

FR 29181; July 18, 1990). This rule also 

established a new subpart L in 10 CFR 

part 72 entitled ‘‘Approval of Spent Fuel 

Storage Casks,’’ which contains 

procedures and criteria for obtaining 

NRC approval of spent fuel storage cask 

designs. The NRC subsequently issued a 

final rule on October 19, 2000 (65 FR 

62581), that approved the NAC 

International NAC–UMS Universal 

Storage System and added it to the list 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with PROPOSALS1

of NRC-approved cask designs in 

§ 72.214 as Certificate of Compliance 

No. 1015. 

IV. Plain Writing 

The Plain Writing Act of 2010 (Pub. 

L. 111–274) requires Federal agencies to 

write documents in a clear, concise, 

well-organized manner. The NRC has 

written this document to be consistent 

with the Plain Writing Act as well as the 

Presidential Memorandum, ‘‘Plain 

Language in Government Writing,’’ 

published June 10, 1998 (63 FR 31885). 

The NRC requests comment on the 

proposed rule with respect to clarity 

and effectiveness of the language used.

standards for consumer miscellaneous 

gas products. DOE published a proposed 

coverage determination for these 

products in the Federal Register on 

February 7, 2022. This request for 

information (‘‘RFI’’) solicits information 

from the public to help DOE determine 

whether potential standards for 

miscellaneous gas products would 

result in significant energy savings and 

whether such standards would be 

technologically feasible and 

economically justified, information 

which will prove useful in the event 

DOE moves forward with a final 

coverage determination. As part of this 

RFI and to aid in the Department’s 

evaluation, DOE seeks comment on the 

market for these products and 

technologies to improve their energy 

efficiency or reduce their energy 

consumption. DOE also welcomes
