[Docket No. NRC–2017–0031] 

RIN 3150–AK52 

Decommissioning Financial Assurance 

for Sealed and Unsealed Radioactive 

Materials 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Regulatory basis; reopening of 

comment period and correction. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is correcting the 

notification published in the Federal 

Register on April 28, 2022, regarding a 

regulatory basis to support a rulemaking 

that would amend its regulations for 

decommissioning financial assurance 

for sealed and unsealed radioactive 

materials. This action is necessary to 

correct a publication issue with the 

regulatory basis. In the notification, the 

NRC solicited comments from the 

public, and the public comment period 

closed on June 27, 2022. The NRC has 

decided to reopen the public comment 

period to allow more time for members 

of the public to develop and submit 

their comments. 

DATES: The correction takes effect on 

July 19, 2022. The comment period for 

the document published on April 28, 

2022, (87 FR 25157) has been reopened. 

Comments should be filed no later than 

August 18, 2022. Comments received 

after this date will be considered, if it 

is practical to do so, but the NRC is able 

to ensure consideration only for 

comments received on or before this 

date. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

by any of the following methods; 

however, the NRC encourages electronic 

comment submission through the 

Federal rulemaking website:

• NRC’s Agencywide Documents 

Access and Management System 

(ADAMS): You may obtain publicly 

available documents online in the 

ADAMS Public Documents collection at 

https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/ 

adams.html. To begin the search, select 

‘‘Begin Web-based ADAMS Search.’’ For

the NRC’s Public Document Room (PDR) 

reference staff at 1–800–397–4209, 301– 

415–4737, or by email to 

PDR.Resource@nrc.gov. For the

B. Submitting Comments 

The NRC encourages electronic 

comment submission through the

www.regulations.gov). Please include 

Docket ID NRC–2017–0031 in your 

comment submission. 

The NRC cautions you not to include

disclosed in your comment submission. 

The NRC will post all comment 

submissions at https://

II. Correction 

In the Federal Register on April 28, 

2022, in Doc. 2022–09099, on page 

25159, in the second column of the last 

entry in the table, correct 

‘‘ML21235A480’’ to read 

‘‘ML22188A206.’’ This will correct a 

publication error with the regulatory 

basis, restoring previously omitted 

pages 45–67 including Appendices A 

through C. 

III. Discussion 

On April 28, 2022, the NRC solicited 

comments on a regulatory basis to 

support a rulemaking that would amend 

its regulations for decommissioning 

financial assurance for sealed and 

unsealed radioactive materials. The 

purpose of the regulatory basis 

document is to serve as a precursor to 

a proposed rule and to describe the 

NRC’s recommendation and 

considerations in amending appendix B, 

‘‘Quantities of licensed material 

requiring labeling,’’ to part 30 of title 10 

of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 

CFR), ‘‘Rules of General Applicability to

42970 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 137 / Tuesday, July 19, 2022 / Proposed Rules 

Domestic Licensing of Byproduct 

Material,’’ and 10 CFR 70.25, ‘‘Financial 

assurance and recordkeeping for 

decommissioning.’’ The proposed rule 

would address the petition for 

rulemaking (PRM)–30–66, ‘‘Request of 

the Organization of Agreement States for 

the NRC to Amend Appendix B, 

‘Quantities of Licensed Material 

Requiring Labeling,’’’ submitted by the 

Organization of Agreement States (OAS) 

on April 14, 2017. The public comment 

period closed on June 27, 2022. The 

NRC has decided to reopen the public 

comment period on this document until 

August 18, 2022, to correct a publication 

error and allow more time for members 

of the public to submit their comments. 

The NRC may post materials related 

to this document, including public 

comments, on the Federal rulemaking 

website at https://www.regulations.gov 

under Docket ID NRC–2017–0031. In 

addition, the Federal rulemaking 

website allows members of the public to

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS 

Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a 

new airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

Airbus SAS Model A300 B2K–3C, B2– 

203, B4–2C, and B4–203 airplanes. This 

proposed AD was prompted by reports 

of cracking of the flight compartment aft 

window frame and adjacent fuselage 

skin. This proposed AD would require 

a one-time check for previously 

accomplished repairs of the window 

pane and adjacent fuselage panel, and 

applicable corrective actions, as 

specified in a European Union Aviation 

Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is 

proposed for incorporation by reference. 

The FAA is proposing this AD to 

address the unsafe condition on these 

products. 

DATES: The FAA must receive comments 

on this proposed AD by September 2, 

2022. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following 

methods:

marked submissions as confidential 

under the FOIA, and they will not be 

placed in the public docket of this 

NPRM. Submissions containing CBI
