Sharing alliance and the Nuclear Energy 

Institute (NEI), respectively. On July 18, 

2008, the NRC staff discussed these 

comments during a public meeting with 

NEI and industry representatives, as 

documented in ‘‘Summary of the 

License Renewal Meeting Held between 

the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission Staff and the Nuclear 

Energy Institute,’’ dated October 3, 2008 

(ML082480547). Overall, the comments 

indicated that the NRC staff’s proposed 

guidance is too prescriptive and does 

not acknowledge the unique design 

aspects of each plant, as reflected in the 

plant’s current licensing basis. 

The NRC staff evaluated both the 

comments submitted in writing, and 

those provided during the July 18, 2008, 

meeting and subsequent public license 

renewal meetings, and determined that 

the proposed clarification in LR–ISG– 

2008–01 is unnecessary because the 

NRC staff’s review of license renewal 

applications is based on the plantspecific current licensing bases, 

regulatory requirements, and offsite 

power design configurations. As such, 

the NRC staff will continue to review 

license renewal applications against the 

acceptance criteria in SRP–LR section 

2.5.2.1.1 to ensure applicants include 

within the scope of license renewal the 

systems, structures, and components 

that perform functions to demonstrate 

compliance with the Station Blackout 

Rule, as required by 10 CFR 54.4(a)(3). 

Therefore, by this action, the NRC is 

withdrawing LR–ISG–2008–01.

application for proposed amendment to 

Renewed Facility Operating License 

Nos. DPR–29 and DPR–30 for the Quad 

Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1

Illinois. 

The proposed amendment would 

have revised the Technical 

Specifications Surveillance 

Requirements to establish an acceptance 

criterion to verify that total battery 

connector resistances for the 125 and 

250 volt direct current batteries are 

within pre-established limits that ensure 

the batteries can perform their design 

function. 

The Commission had previously 

issued a Notice of Consideration of 

Issuance of Amendment published in 

the Federal Register on February 26, 

2008 (73 FR 10298) and December 30,

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Commission is noticing a 

recently-filed Postal Service request to 

add Express Mail & Priority Mail 

Contract 8 to the Competitive Product 

List. The Postal Service has also filed a 

related contract. This notice addresses 

procedural steps associated with these 

filings. 

DATES: Comments are due July 15, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Submit comments 

electronically via the Commission’s 

Filing Online system at http://

stephen.sharfman@prc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

On July 2, 2009, the Postal Service 

filed a formal request pursuant to 39 

U.S.C. 3642 and 39 CFR 3020.30 et seq. 

to add Express Mail & Priority Mail 

Contract 8 to the Competitive Product 

List.1 On July 6, 2009, the Postal Service 

filed a revised version of its filing which 

includes attachments inadvertently 

omitted from the July 2, 2009 request.2

The Postal Service asserts that the 

Express Mail & Priority Mail Contract 8 

product is a competitive product ‘‘not of 

general applicability’’ within the 

meaning of 39 U.S.C. 3632(b)(3). Id. at 

1. The Request has been assigned 

Docket No. MC2009–33. 

The Postal Service 

contemporaneously filed a contract 

related to the proposed new product 

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

CFR 3015.5. Id. at 2. The contract has 

been assigned Docket No. CP2009–44. 

Request. The Request incorporates (1) 

A redacted version of the Governors’ 

Decision authorizing the new product; 

(2) a redacted version of the contract; (3) 

requested changes to the Mail 

Classification Schedule product list; (4) 

a Statement of Supporting Justification 

as required by 39 CFR 3020.32; and (5) 

certification of compliance with 39 

U.S.C. 3633(a).3 Substantively, the 

Request seeks to add Express Mail & 

Priority Mail Contract 8 to the 

Competitive Product List. Request at 

1–2. 

In the Statement of Supporting 

Justification, Mary Prince Anderson, 

Manager, Sales and Communications, 

Expedited Shipping, asserts that the 

service to be provided under the 

contract will cover its attributable costs, 

make a positive contribution to 

institutional costs, and increase 

contribution toward the requisite 5.5 

percent of the Postal Service’s total 

institutional costs. Id., Attachment D. 

Thus, Ms. Anderson contends there will 

be no issue of subsidization of 

competitive products by market 

dominant products as a result of this 

contract. Id. 

Related contract. A redacted version 

of the specific Express Mail & Priority 

Mail Contract 8 is included with the 

Request. The contract has an initial term 

of 3 years and is to be effective 1 day 

after the Commission provides all 

necessary regulatory approvals. The 

Postal Service represents that the 

contract is consistent with 39 U.S.C. 

3633(a) and 39 CFR 3015.7(c). See id., 

Attachment A and Attachment E. It 

notes that actual performance under this 

contract could vary from estimates, but 

concludes that the risks are manageable. 

Id., Attachment A. 

The Postal Service filed much of the 

supporting materials, including the 

Governors’ Decision and the specific 

Express Mail & Priority Mail Contract 8, 

under seal. In its Request, the Postal 

Service maintains that the contract and 

related financial information, including 

the customer’s name and the 

accompanying analyses that provide 

prices, terms, conditions, and financial 

projections should remain under seal. 

Id. at 2–3. 

II. Notice of Filings 

The Commission establishes Docket 

Nos. MC2009–33 and CP2009–44 for 

consideration of the Request pertaining 

to the proposed Express Mail & Priority 

Mail Contract 8 product and the related 

contract, respectively. In keeping with 

practice, these dockets are 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 and 39 

CFR part 3015 and 39 CFR part 3020 

subpart B. Comments are due no later 

than July 15, 2009. The public portions 

of these filings can be accessed via the 

Commission’s Web site (http:// 

www.prc.gov). 

The Commission appoints Paul L. 

Harrington to serve as Public 

Representative in these dockets. 

III. Ordering Paragraphs
