and the System 80+ Standard Designs;

Proposed Rule and Meeting

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory

Commission.

ACTION: Proposed Rule: Supplementary

notice of proposed rulemaking and

public meeting.

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC or Commission) is

considering approval by rulemaking of

the U.S. Advanced Boiling Water

Reactor (ABWR) and the System 80+

standard designs. The applicant for

certification of the U.S. ABWR design is

GE Nuclear Energy and for the System

80+ design is Asea Brown BoveriCombustion Engineering. Notices of

proposed rulemaking for the

certification of these designs were

published in the Federal Register on

April 7, 1995 (60 FR 17902 and 60 FR

17924). The final design certification

rules, which are under consideration by

the Commission, are contained in

SECY–96–077, ‘‘Certification of Two

Evolutionary Designs,’’ which was

prepared by the NRC staff. This SECY

paper has been placed in the NRC

Public Document Room and additional

comments on the proposed rules,

focusing specifically on staff

recommended changes from the rules

originally proposed, are solicited. These

changes are discussed in the

supplementary information section of

the recommended notices of final

rulemaking contained in SECY–96–077.

In this regard, the NRC will also

conduct a public meeting. The purpose

of the meeting is to provide an

opportunity for the public to ask

questions on the development of the

final rules and the NRC’s resolution of

comments received on the proposed

rules.

DATES: Public meeting on Thursday,

May 2, 1996, 1:00 p.m. Comments are

due on or before May 24, 1996.

Comments received after this date will

be considered if it is practical to do so,

The Age 60 Rule

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

ACTION: Disposition of comments and

notice of agency decisions; correction.

SUMMARY: This document makes a minor

correction to the disposition of

comments and notice of agency

decisions regarding the ‘‘Age 60 Rule’’

published on Wednesday, December 20,

1995 (60 FR 65977).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On December 11, 1995, the FAA

issued a disposition of comments and

notice of agency decisions, which

explained the agency’s decision not to

propose to change the Age 60 Rule (14

CFR 121.383(c)). (60 FR 65977;

December 20, 1995).

The Disposition also stated the

agency’s intention to deny numerous

petitions for exemption from the Age 60

Rule. In describing the petitions for

exemption, the FAA referred to reports

prepared by Richard Golaszewski that

petitioners had criticized, and cited

reports made by Mr. Golaszewski in

1983, 1991, and 1993 (60 FR at 65979).

However, the reference to the 1993

report was an editorial error, in that the

1993 report was not commented on by

petitioners. Further, the 1993 report was

into prepared for the FAA, and FAA did

not have a copy of or rely on it in

making its determinations or preparing

the Disposition.

The sentence citing to the

Golaszewski Reports at 60 FR 65979

should read as follows:

They state that studies used by the FAA in

the past to justify the rule are flawed,

including the NIH Study and the reports

prepared by Richard Golaszewski
