Emerald Ash Borer; Quarantined Areas; Maryland, Michigan,
Minnesota, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and
Wisconsin
AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION: Interim rule and request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We are amending the emerald ash borer regulations by adding
areas in Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Pennsylvania,
Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin to the list of areas quarantined
because of emerald ash borer. As a result of this action, the
interstate movement of regulated articles from those areas is
restricted. This action is necessary to prevent the artificial spread
of the emerald ash borer from infested areas in the States of Maryland,
Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia,
and Wisconsin into noninfested areas of the United States.
DATES: This interim rule is effective September 21, 2009. We will
consider all comments that we receive on or before November 20, 2009.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments by either of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing for public
comment a draft guide in the agency's ``Regulatory Guide'' series. This
series was developed to describe and make available to the public such
information as methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff for
implementing specific parts of the NRC's regulations, techniques that
the staff uses in evaluating specific problems or postulated accidents,
and data that the staff needs in its review of applications for permits
and licenses.
The draft regulatory guide (DG), titled, ``Instrument Lines
Penetrating the Primary Reactor Containment,'' is temporarily
identified by its task number, DG-1225, which should be mentioned in
all related correspondence. DG-1225 is proposed Revision 1 of
Regulatory Guide 1.11, dated March 1971.
General Design Criterion (GDC) 55, ``Reactor Coolant Pressure
Boundary Penetrating Containment,'' and GDC 56, ``Primary Containment
Isolation,'' of Appendix A, ``General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power
Plants,'' to Title 10, Part 50, ``Domestic Licensing of Production and
Utilization Facilities,'' of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR
Part 50) require, in part, that each line that penetrates the primary
reactor containment and that is part of the reactor coolant pressure
boundary or connects directly to the containment atmosphere has at
least one locked, closed isolation valve or one automatic valve inside
and one automatic valve outside containment ``unless it can be
demonstrated that the containment isolation provisions for a specific
class of lines, such as instrument lines, are acceptable on some other
defined basis.'' This guide defines a basis that the staff of the NRC
considers acceptable to implement GDC 55 and 56 with regard to
instrument lines. This guide applies to all types of nuclear power
plants.
II. Further Information
The NRC staff is soliciting comments on DG-1225. Comments may be
accompanied by relevant information or supporting data and should
mention DG-1225 in the subject line. Comments submitted in writing or
in electronic form will be made available to the public in their
entirety through the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management
System (ADAMS).
Personal information will not be removed from your comments. You
may submit comments by any of the following methods:
1. Mail comments to: Rulemaking and Directives Branch, MS TWB 05
B01M, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
Washington, DC 20555-0001.
2. E-mail comments to: nrcrep.resource@nrc.gov.
3. Fax comments to: Rulemaking and Directives Branch, Office of
Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission at (301) 492-3446.
Requests for technical information about DG-1225 may be directed to
the NRC contact, Jerome Bettle at (301) 415-1314 or e-mail to
Jerome.Bettle@nrc.gov.
Comments would be most helpful if received by November 16, 2009.
Comments received after that date will be considered if it is practical
to do so, but the NRC is able to ensure consideration only for comments
received on or before this date. Although a time limit is given,
comments and suggestions in connection with items for inclusion in
guides currently being developed or improvements in all published
guides are encouraged at any time.
Electronic copies of DG-1225 are available through the NRC's public
Web site under Draft Regulatory Guides in the ``Regulatory Guides''
collection of the NRC's Electronic Reading Room at http://www.nrc.gov/
reading-rm/doc-collections/. Electronic copies are also available in
ADAMS (http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html), under Accession No.
ML090970530.
In addition, regulatory guides are available for inspection at the
NRC's Public Document Room (PDR), which is located at 11555 Rockville
Pike, Rockville, Maryland. The PDR's mailing address is USNRC PDR,
