49722 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 164 / Friday, August 22, 2008 / Notices 

why shipments cannot be made before the 

October 1, 2008, expiration date. The 

justification must demonstrate that: (a) There 

are no alternative domestically approved 

packages available; (b) the contents cannot be 

reconfigured such that transport can be 

conducted in accordance with the 

regulations; and (c) the transport schedule 

cannot be adjusted so as to be conducted in 

accordance with the regulations. The 

justification must also describe any goodfaith efforts to acquire replacement packages 

that meet the current package performance 

requirements, including a detailed 

description of past activities and the current 

status of acquiring replacement packages. In 

addition, any adverse impacts that will result 

if the shipment is not conducted should be 

fully described. 

(4) Safety Justification for Continued Use 

and Proposed Compensatory Measures. Since 

the expiring package designs may lack safety 

enhancements included in newer designs, 

the request must include a safety justification 

for continued use and a description of 

compensatory measures that will be used to 

provide an equivalent level of safety. 

Examples of compensatory measures that 

may be considered are: (a) Special package 

inspections, tests, or determinations that 

ensure that the packaging is in unimpaired 

physical condition; (b) transport by exclusive 

use; (c) transport during time of low road 

usage; and (d) accompaniment of shipment 

by escort equipped to effect a recovery in an 

emergency situation or in case of a 

transportation accident. 

(5) A Plan and Schedule to Acquire 

Replacement Packages or Complete 

Necessary Shipments. Details about the 

planned acquisition of replacement packages 

must be provided, along with key milestones, 

and proposed implementation dates, unless 

the licensee can show why acquiring a 

replacement package is not practical and why 

shipments cannot be made before the October 

1, 2008, expiration date. 

Filing Requests for Extension 

Requests to extend use of these packages 

should be sent to NRC, with a copy sent 

separately to DOT (applications to DOT 

should be in accordance with 49 CFR 

107.105). The requests should be addressed 

as follows: 

ATTN: Document Control Desk, Director, 

Division of Spent Fuel Storage and 

Transportation, Office of Nuclear Material 

Safety and Safeguards, U.S. Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 

20555–001; 

ATTN: Special Permits, PHH–31, Associate 

Administrator for Hazardous Material 

Safety, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials 

Safety Administration, U.S. Department of 

Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Ave., SE., 

Washington, DC 20590. 

Backfit Discussion 

This RIS outlines information that 

licensees should consider for incorporation 

in voluntary submittals for extending the use 

of the subject transportation packages. The 

identified information will assist the NRC in 

the regulatory process and aids licensees in 

developing thorough submittals. Any 

requests to extend the use of the subject 

transportation packages are proposed by 

licensees and are therefore not backfits. 

Further, this RIS requires no action or written 

response and therefore is not a backfit. 

Consequently, the staff did not perform a 

backfit analysis. 

Federal Register Notification 

A notice of opportunity for public 

comment on this RIS was not published in 

the Federal Register because it is 

informational and pertains to a staff position 

that does not represent a departure from 

current regulatory status and practice. This 

RIS is being published in the Federal 

Register for information. 

Congressional Review Act 

This RIS is not a rule, as designated by the 

Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801–808) 

and, therefore, is not subject to the Act. 

Paperwork Reduction Act Statement

Agreements to the Competitive Product List, and

Attachment 1 to the Request consists of Decision of

on the Establishment of Prices and Classifications 

for Global Direct, Global Bulk Economy, and Global 

Plus Contracts (Governors’ Decision No. 08–10),

Decision includes its own set of attachments

of the attachments are redacted. Attachment 2 to the

notes that based on the Commission’s decision and 

guidance in Order No. 85 (which was issued after 

the Global Plus 2 contracts were executed), it no 

longer intends to present future contracts to the 

Commission with retroactivity provisions. Instead, 

it will avail itself of the procedure for expedited 

consideration of requests for temporary relief when 

warranted. Request at 9.

formal request to add a new product to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

On August 8, 2008, the Postal Service 

filed a formal request (with attachments) 

to add a new product to the competitive 

product list for prices not of general 

applicability.1 The Request incorporates 

notice of (1) issuance of the Governors’

Decision authorizing the new product; 

(2) the execution of two related 

contracts; and (3) submission of 

supporting material under seal.2

Request. The Request was filed 

pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3642 and 39 CFR 

3020.30 et seq. Substantively, it seeks 

the addition of a shell classification in 

the competitive product list for a 

product referred to as Global Plus 2 

Negotiated Service Agreements. Prices 

for this product, by the terms of the 

Governors’ Decision, are established by 

setting price floor and price ceiling 

formulas in the contracts. 

The Request also addresses the Postal 

Service’s interest in confidentiality; 

presents proposed Mail Classification 

Schedule (MCS) language; cites the 

Cebello Statement with respect to 

satisfaction of pertinent Commission 

rules; and discusses reasons why the 

Global Plus 2 contracts should be 

deemed functionally equivalent. 

Request at 2–7. It affirmatively notes 

that the contracts include retroactivity 

provisions.3 Id. at 7–9. 

Related contracts. The Postal Service 

contemporaneously filed contracts 

related to the proposed new product 

listing pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3632(b)(3) 

and 39 CFR 3015.5. It maintains that 

both contracts, by virtue of their terms, 

fit within the proposed MCS language. 

It asks that the contracts be added as 

one product to the competitive product 

list for prices not of general 

applicability. Id. at 1. It further notes 

that both contracts are set to expire July 

1, 2009. Id. at 2. 

II. Notice of Filings 

The Commission establishes Docket 

Nos. MC2008–7, CP2008–16 and 

CP2008–17 for consideration of the 

Request pertaining to Global Plus 2 and 

the two related contracts. In keeping

addressed on a consolidated basis for 

purposes of this Order; however, future 

filings should be made in the specific 

docket in which issues being addressed 

pertain. Interested persons may submit 

comments on whether the Postal 

Service’s filings in the captioned 

dockets are consistent with the policies 

of 39 U.S.C. 3632, 3633, or 3642. 

Comments are due no later than August 

27, 2008. The public portions of these 

filings can be accessed via the 

Commission’s Web site (www.prc.gov). 

The Commission appoints Paul L. 

Harrington to serve as Public 

Representative in the captioned filings.

Nos. MC2008–7, CP2008–16 and 

CP2008–17 for consideration of the 

matters raised in each docket. 

2. The Commission, pursuant to 39 

U.S.C. 505, appoints Paul L. Harrington

proceedings. 

3. Comments by interested persons on 

issues in these proceedings are due no 

later than August 27, 2008.

Register.
