SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The IAEA periodically revised its 

Basic Safety Standards to reflect new 

information and accumulated 

experience. The current version was 

published in 1996 (http://wwwpub.iaea.org/MTCD/publications/PDF/ 

ss-115-web/Pub996_web-1a.pdf). The 

revision now underway is based on the 

recommendations of the International 

Commission on Radiological Protection 

(ICRP) contained in ICRP Publication 

103, published in late 2007. 

On January 28, 2010, the IAEA posted 

a draft revision of the BSS for comment 

by each of the member states of the 

IAEA. The draft (DS379) is available for 

viewing and downloading on the 

Internet at: http://www-ns.iaea.org/ 

standards/documents/draft-msposted.asp. Several other International 

Organizations, including the World 

Health Organization and the 

International Labor Organization, are 

also providing the draft to their Member 

States for comment. The United States 

is a Member State of each of these 

International Organizations, and the 

U.S. Government will be developing 

coordinated comments on the draft 

revision. 

The BSS provides requirements for 

the wide range of radiation protection 

situations which may exist. The draft 

report organizes these requirements into 

three principle exposure situations, 

namely: Planned exposure situations, in 

which an activity that may cause 

radiation exposure can be planned in 

advance, and appropriate controls put 

into place; emergency exposure 

situations, that arises as a result of an 

accident, a malicious act, or any other 

unexpected event, and requires prompt 

action in order to avoid or reduce 

adverse consequences; and existing 

exposure situations, in which the 

circumstances causing exposure already 

exist when a decision on the need for 

control has to be taken (such as radon 

in homes). The requirements in the 

existing BSS, and those contained in the 

draft cover areas which may be under 

the jurisdiction of the NRC, or may be 

part of programs under other Federal 

Agencies, including the Environmental 

Protection Agency, the Department of 

Health and Human Services, the 

Department of Labor, and the 

Department of Energy, or may be under 

the jurisdiction of various State 

Agencies. 

Many Member States of the IAEA will 

utilize the BSS as one basis for the 

regulations for radiation safety in their 

countries. Adherence to the provisions 

of the BSS is mandated for IAEA’s own 

conduct, and any uses of radiation or 

radioactive material where the IAEA is 

providing technical assistance and 

support to the Member State. Users of 

radiation and radioactive materials from 

the United States who may do business 

in these countries may therefore be 

particularly interested in this draft 

version. The United States does not 

directly adopt IAEA standards, but may 

consider such standards as a useful 

point of reference in the development of 

proposals under the Administrative 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 24 / Friday, February 5, 2010 / Notices 6071 

Procedure Act for changes to regulations 

or guidance in the United States. There 

are many areas in which the existing 

BSS and the draft BSS available for 

comment are known to differ from the 

current provisions in the regulations of 

various Federal and State agencies in 

the United States. Thus, views 

expressed on the IAEA draft BSS are not 

considered as comments on any current 

or possible future regulation activity, 

but are useful to assist the international 

community in developing a logical, 

scientifically based set of requirements. 

Furthermore, the IAEA BSS can serve as 

one possible point of reference in the 

ongoing consideration by various U.S. 

Agencies of possible regulatory options 

which may or may not result in a greater 

degree of alignment with international 

radiation protection recommendations, 

such as those in ICRP Publication 103. 

ISCORS is a Committee of Federal 

Agencies intended to foster early 

resolution and coordination of 

regulatory issues associated with 

radiation standards and guidelines. 

Federal Agencies who are members of 

ISCORS include the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency, the U.S. Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission, the U.S. 

Department of Energy, the U.S. 

Department of Defense, the U.S. 

Department of Homeland Security, the 

U.S. Department of Transportation, the 

Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration of the U.S. Department 

of Labor, and the U.S. Department of 

Health and Human Services. The Office 

of Science and Technology Policy, and 

the Office of Management and Budget 

are observers to the Committee because 

of their science policy and regulatory 

policy responsibilities. Representatives 

from selected state radiation control 

organizations and the Defense Nuclear 

Facilities Safety Board are also 

observers to the Committee because of 

their expertise in regulatory 

implementation and oversight. 

Attendees at the meeting are invited 

to express their views on the draft safety 

requirement DS379. The views 

expressed during the meeting will be 

considered for incorporation, along with 

comments developed within the 

Agencies, and will help determine the 

U.S. Government comments on the draft 

BSS to be submitted to the IAEA. 

ISCORS recognizes that a variety of 

views may be provided, and that 

viewpoints may differ. ISCORS does not 

intend to provide specific feedback to 

those attending the public meeting, and 

attendees should have no expectation 

that the views expressed during the 

meeting will be included in the U.S. 

Government comments submitted to 

IAEA. However, ISCORS, and its 

members agencies, believe that is 

important to provide an opportunity for 

the public to express their views on the 

BSS through this forum. Comments 

submitted by Member States, including 

the United States, will be available on 

the IAEA web site. Note that future 

domestic rulemakings, if appropriate, 

will continue to follow established 

rulemaking procedures, including the 

opportunity to formally comment on 

proposed rules.

of January, 2010.

Exelon Generation Company, LLC; 

PSEG Nuclear, LLC; Peach Bottom 

Atomic Power Station Units 2 and 3; 

Notice of Withdrawal of Application for 

Amendment to Facility Operating 

License 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (the Commission) has 

granted the request of Exelon 

Generation Company, LLC, (Exelon) and 

PSEG Nuclear, LLC, to withdraw the 

portion of its August 7, 2008, 

application related to incorporation of 

Technical Specification Task Force 

Traveler 363, Revision 0, for proposed 

amendment to Facility Operating 

License Nos. DPR–44 and DPR–56 for 

the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station 

(PBAPS), Units 2 and 3, located in York 

and Lancaster Counties, Pennsylvania. 

The proposed amendment would 

have revised the Technical 

Specifications to incorporate TSTF– 

363–A, ‘‘Revise Topical Report 

References in ITS [improved technical 

specifications] 5.6.5, COLR [Core 

Operating Limits Report],’’ Revision 0. 

The amendment would have modified 

the PBAPS Units 2 and 3 TS 5.6.5, ‘‘Core 

Operating Limits Report (COLR),’’ to 

remove the requirement to maintain 

COLR Topical Report references by 

number, title, date, and NRC staff 

approved document, if included. 

Incorporation of the TSTF would have 

permitted referencing of the topical 

report by number and title only in the 

TSs, with the additional details being 

controlled within the COLR document. 

The Commission had previously 

issued a Notice of Consideration of 

Issuance of Amendment published in 

the Federal Register on May 5, 2009 (74 

FR 20744). However, by letter dated 

January 19, 2010, the licensee withdrew 

the proposed change. 

For further details with respect to this 

action, see the application for 

amendment dated August 7, 2008, and 

the licensee’s letter dated January 19, 

2010, which withdrew the application 

for license amendment. Documents may 

be examined, and/or copied for a fee, at
