IV. Requested Information and 

Comments 

This section provides specific 

questions associated with the draft 

regulatory analysis (ADAMS Accession 

No. ML16189A050). These questions 

will also be discussed at the public 

meeting. The NRC staff will consider the 

responses to these questions as it revises 

the regulatory analysis. 

Question 1: Is the NRC considering 

appropriate alternatives for the 

regulatory action described in the draft 

regulatory analysis? 

Question 2: Are there additional 

factors that the NRC should consider in 

the regulatory action? What are these 

factors? 

Question 3: Is there additional 

information concerning regulatory 

impacts that the NRC should include in 

its regulatory analysis for this 

rulemaking? 

Question 4: Are all costs and benefits 

properly addressed to determine the 

economic impact of the rulemaking 

alternatives? What cost differences 

would be expected from moving from 

the discussed 1,000 year and 10,000 

year compliance periods to a single 

1,000 year compliance period? Are there 

any unintended consequences of 

making this revision? 

Question 5: Are there any costs that 

should be assigned to those sites not 

planning to accept large quantities of 

depleted uranium for disposal in the 

future? 

Question 6: Is NRC’s assumption that 

only two existing LLRW sites (i.e., 

EnergySolutions’ Clive Utah disposal 

facility and Waste Control Specialists’ 

Texas disposal facility) plan to accept 

large quantities of depleted uranium for 

disposal in the future reasonable? 

Question 7: What additional costs or 

cost savings, not already considered in 

the draft regulatory analysis, will the 

supplemental proposed rulemaking or 

alternatives cause to society, industry, 

and government? What are the potential 

transfer (‘‘pass-through’’) costs to the 

waste generators and processors?

III. Ordering Paragraphs 

I. Introduction and Overview 

On October 6, 2017, the Postal Service 

filed notice with the Commission 

concerning changes in rates of general 

applicability for competitive products.1

The Postal Service represents that, as 

required by 39 CFR 3015.2(b), the 

Notice includes an explanation and 

justification for the changes, the 

effective date, and a schedule of the 

changed rates. See Notice at 1. The 

changes are scheduled to take effect on 

January 21, 2018. Id. 

Attached to the Notice are Governors’ 

Decisions Nos. 16–10 and 16–8, which 

state the new prices are in accordance 

with 39 U.S.C. 3632 and 3633 and 39 

CFR 3015.2.2 The Governors’ Decisions 

provide an analysis of the competitive 

products’ price changes intended to 

demonstrate that the changes comply 

with 39 U.S.C. 3633 and 39 CFR part 

3015.3 The attachment to the Governors’ 

Decisions sets forth the price changes 

and includes draft Mail Classification 

Schedule (MCS) language for 

competitive products of general 

applicability. 

The Governors’ Decisions include two 

additional attachments: 

• A partially redacted table showing 

FY 2017 projected volumes, revenues, 

attributable costs, contribution, and cost 

coverage for each product, assuming 

implementation of the new prices on 

January 21, 2018. 

• A partially redacted table showing 

FY 2017 projected volumes, revenues, 

attributable costs, contribution, and cost 

coverage for each product, assuming a 

hypothetical implementation of the new 

prices on October 1, 2017. 

The Notice also includes an 

application for non-public treatment of 

the attributable costs, contribution, and 

cost coverage data in the unredacted 

version of the annex to the Governors’ 

Decisions, as well as the supporting 

materials for the data.
