Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 15 / Monday, January 25, 2010 / Proposed Rules 3877 

are both non-conservative for 

calculating the temperature at which an 

autocatalytic (runaway) oxidation 

reaction of Zircaloy would occur in the 

event of a LOCA. The petitioner states 

that these experiments demonstrate that 

the autocatalytic oxidation reaction of 

Zircaloy cladding occurs at 

temperatures far below those predicted 

by the Baker-Just and Cathcart-Pawel 

equations. The petitioner concludes that 

this, in turn, indicates that the BakerJust and Cathcart-Pawel equations are 

both non-conservative for calculating 

the metal-water reaction rates that 

would occur in the event of a LOCA. 

The petitioner requests that the NRC 

revise its regulations at 10 CFR 

50.46(b)(1) to require that the calculated 

maximum fuel element cladding 

temperature not exceed a limit based on 

data from multi-rod (assembly) severe 

fuel damage experiments. 

The petitioner also requests that the 

NRC revise Appendix K to 10 CFR Part 

50 to require that the rates of energy 

release, hydrogen generation, and 

cladding oxidation from the metal-water 

reaction considered in emergency core 

cooling system (ECCS) evaluation 

calculations be based on data from 

multi-rod (assembly) severe fuel damage 

experiments. The petitioner believes 

that these same requirements also need 

to apply to any NRC-approved bestestimate ECCS evaluation models used 

in lieu of calculations made under 

Appendix K to 10 CFR Part 50. 

Lastly, the petitioner requests that the 

NRC promulgate a regulation that will 

stipulate minimum allowable core 

reflood rates in the event of a LOCA. 

The petitioner believes that it can be 

extrapolated from experimental data 

that in the event of a LOCA, a constant 

core reflood rate of approximately one 

inch per second or lower would not, 

with high probability, prevent Zircaloy 

fuel cladding from exceeding the peak 

cladding temperature limit of 2200 °F if, 

at the onset of reflood, the cladding 

temperature was 1200 °F or higher. 

The petitioner believes that, if 

implemented, the amendments 

proposed in the petition would improve 

public and plant-worker safety. 

Therefore, the petitioner requests that 

the NRC amend its regulations regarding 

the domestic licensing of production 

and utilization facilities.

The Proposal 

This action proposes to amend Title 

14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 

CFR), Part 71 by adding additional Class 

E airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface for the newly 

established SIAPs at Skylark Field 

Airport, Killeen, TX. The airport name 

would be changed from Killeen 

Municipal Airport, to Skylark Field 

Airport, in accordance with the FAAs 

National Aeronautical Charting Office. 

Controlled airspace is needed for the 

safety and management of IFR 

operations at the airport. 

Class E airspace areas are published 

in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 

7400.9T, dated August 27, 2009, and 

effective September 15, 2009, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designation 

listed in this document would be 

published subsequently in the Order.

3878 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 15 / Monday, January 25, 2010 / Proposed Rules 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. It, 

therefore, (1) is not a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ under Executive 

Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant 

rule’’ under DOT Regulatory Policies 

and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 

26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant 

preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation 

as the anticipated impact is so minimal. 

Since this is a routine matter that will 

only affect air traffic procedures and air 

navigation, it is certified that this rule, 

when promulgated, will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 

Section 106 describes the authority of 

the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, 

Aviation Programs, describes in more 

detail the scope of the agency’s 

authority. This rulemaking is 

promulgated under the authority 

described in Subtitle VII, Part A, 

Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it would add 

additional controlled airspace at Skylark 

Field Airport, Killeen, TX.
