BILLING CODE 7555 P NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection:

Comment Request AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information collection

request to OMB and solicitation of

public comment.

SUMMARY

The NRC is preparing a submittal to OMB for review of

continued approval of information

collections under the provisions of the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44

U.S.C. Chapter 35).

Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted:

1. The title of the information collection:

General Licensee Registration, NRC Form 664.

2. Current OMB approval number:

3150-0198. 3. How often the collection is required: Annually.

4. Who is required or asked to report:

General Licensees of the NRC who

possess devices subject to registration

under 10 CFR 31.5.

5. The estimated number of annual respondents: 1,000.

6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement or

request: 333 hours0.00385 days <br />0.0925 hours <br />5.505952e-4 weeks <br />1.267065e-4 months <br /> annually (1,000

respondents 20 minutes per form).

7. Abstract: NRC Form 664 is used by NRC general licensees to make reports

regarding certain generally licensed

devices subject to registration. The

registration program allows NRC to

better track general licensees, so that

they can be contacted or inspected as

necessary, and to make sure that

generally licensed devices can be

identified even if lost or damaged, and

to further ensure that general licensees

are aware of and understand the

requirements for the possession of

devices containing byproduct material.

Greater awareness helps to ensure that

general licensees will comply with the

requirements for proper handling and

disposal of generally licensed devices

and would reduce the potential for

incidents that could result in

unnecessary radiation exposure to the

public and contamination of property.

Submit, by November 20, 2006, comments that address the following

questions:

1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC to

properly perform its functions? Does the

information have practical utility?

2. Is the burden estimate accurate?

3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the

information to be collected?

4. How can the burden of the information collection be minimized, including the use of automated

collection techniques or other forms of

information technology?

A copy of the draft supporting statement may be viewed free of charge

Statement and Conduct Scoping

Process for Facility Operating License

No. DPR-59 for an Additional 20-Year Period, Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc., James A. Fitzpatrick Nuclear

Power Plant The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission)

is considering an application for the

renewal of Operating License No. DPR

- 59, which authorizes Entergy Nuclear

Operations, Inc. (Entergy), to operate the

James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power

Plant (JAFNPP) at 2536 megawatts

thermal. The renewed license would

authorize the applicant to operate the

JAFNPP for an additional 20 years

beyond the period specified in the

current license. JAFNPP is located on

Lake Ontario in Oswego County, VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:40 Sep 19, 2006Jkt 205001PO 00000Frm 00057Fmt 4703Sfmt 4703E:\FR\FM\20SEN1.SGM20SEN1 jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES 55033 Federal Register/Vol. 71, No. 182/Wednesday, September 20, 2006/Notices 1 To the extent that the application contains attachments and supporting documents that are not

publicly available because they are asserted to

contain safeguards or proprietary information, petitions desired access to this information should

contact the applicant or applicant

's counsel to discuss the need for a protective order.

approximately seven miles northeast of the City of Oswego, New York. The

current operating license for the

JAFNPP expires on October 17, 2014.

On August 1, 2006, the Commission

's staff received the application from

Entergy, to renew the Operating License

No. DPR-59 for JAFNPP, pursuant to 10 CFR part 54. A Notice of Receipt and

Availability of the license renewal

application (LRA) was published in the

Federal Register on August 11, 2006 (71 FR 46245).

The Commission

's staff has reviewed the LRA for its acceptability and has

determined that Entergy has submitted

sufficient information in accordance

with 10 CFR 54.19, 54.21, 54.22, 54.23, and 51.53(c), and the application is

acceptable for docketing. The current

Docket No. 50

-333 for Operating License No. DPR

-59 will be retained.

The docketing of the renewal

application does not preclude

requesting additional information as the

review proceeds, nor does it predict

whether the Commission will grant or

deny the application.

Before issuance of each requested renewed license, the NRC will have

made the findings required by the

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the Commission

's rules and regulations. In accordance with 10

CFR 54.29, the NRC may issue a

renewed license on the basis of its

review if it finds that actions have been

identified and have been or will be

taken with respect to: (1) Managing the

effects of aging during the period of

extended operation on the functionality

of structures and components that have

been identified as requiring aging

management review, and (2) time-

limited aging analyses that have been

identified as requiring review, such that

there is reasonable assurance that the

activities authorized by the renewed

license will continue to be conducted in

accordance with the current licensing

basis (CLB), and that any changes made

to the plant

's CLB comply with the Act and the Commission

's regulations. The Commission also must first find that the

requirements of subpart A of 10 CFR 51

have been satisfied, and that matters

raised under 10 CFR 2.335 have been

addressed.

Within 60 days after the date of publication of this Federal Register Notice, the applicant may file a request

for a hearing, and any person whose

interest may be affected by this

proceeding and who wishes to

participate as a party in the proceeding

must file a written request for a hearing

and a petition for leave to intervene

with respect to the renewal of the

license. Requests for a hearing and a petition for leave to intervene shall be filed in accordance with the

Commission

's Rules of Practice for Domestic Licensing Proceedings

in 10 CFR part 2.

Interested persons should consult a current copy of 10 CFR 2.309, which is

available at the Commission

's Public Document Room (PDR), located at One

White Flint North, 11555 Rockville

Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852 and is

accessible from the Agencywide

Documents Access and Management

System (ADAMS) Public Electronic

Reading Room on the Internet at

http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/

adams.html.

Persons who do not have access to ADAMS or who encounter

problems in accessing the documents

located in ADAMS should contact the

NRC's PDR reference staff by telephone at 1-800-397-4209, or 301

-415-4737, or by e-mail at pdr@nrc.gov.

If a request for a hearing/petition for leave to

intervene is filed within the 60-day

period, the Commission or a presiding

officer designated by the Commission or

by the Chief Administrative Judge of the

Atomic Safety and Licensing Board

Panel will rule on the request/petition;

and the Secretary or the Chief

Administrative Judge of the Atomic

Safety and Licensing Board will issue a

notice of a hearing or an appropriate

order. In the event that no request for a

hearing/petition for leave to intervene is

filed within the 60-day period, the NRC

may, upon completion of its evaluations

and upon making the findings required

under 10 CFR parts 51 and 54, renew

the license without further notice.

As required by 10 CFR 2.309, a petition for leave to intervene shall set

forth with particularity the interest of

the petitioner in the proceeding, and

how that interest may be affected by the

results of the proceeding, taking into

consideration the limited scope of

matters that may be considered

pursuant to 10 CFR parts 51 and 54. The

petition must specifically, explain the

reasons why intervention should be

permitted with particular reference to

the following factors: (1) The nature of

the requestor

's/petitioner

's right under the Act to be made a party to the

proceeding; (2) the nature and extent of

the requestor

's/petitioner

's property, financial, or other interest in the proceeding; and (3) the possible effect of

any decision or order which may be

entered in the proceeding on the

requestor's/petitioner

's interest. The petition must also set forth the specific

contentions which the petitioner/

requestor seeks to have litigated at the

proceeding.

Each contention must consist of a specific statement of the issue of law or fact to be raised or controverted. In addition, the requestor/petitioner shall

provide a brief explanation of the bases

of each contention and a concise

statement of the alleged facts or the

expert opinion that supports the

contention on which the requestor/

petitioner intends to rely in proving the

contention at the hearing. The

requestor/petitioner must also provide

references to those specific sources and

documents of which the requestor/

petitioner is aware and on which the

requestor/petitioner intends to rely to

establish those facts or expert opinion.

The requestor/petitioner must provide

sufficient information to show that a

genuine dispute exists with the

applicant on a material issue of law or

fact.1 Contentions shall be limited to matters within the scope of the action

under consideration. The contention

must be one that, if proven, would

entitle the requestor/petitioner to relief.

A requestor/petitioner who fails to

satisfy these requirements with respect

to at least one contention will not be

permitted to participate as a party.

The Commission requests that each contention be given a separate numeric

or alpha designation within one of the

following groups: (1) Technical (primarily related to safety concerns);

(2) environmental; or (3) miscellaneous.

As specified in 10 CFR 2.309, if two or more requestors/petitioners seek to

co-sponsor a contention or propose

substantially the same contention, the

requestors/petitioners will be required

to jointly designate a representative who

shall have the authority to act for the

requestors/petitioners with respect to

that contention.

Those permitted to intervene become parties to the proceeding, subject to any

limitations in the order granting leave to

intervene, and have the opportunity to

participate fully in the conduct of the

hearing. A request for a hearing or a

petition for leave to intervene must be

filed by: (1) First class mail addressed

Possible alternatives to the proposed action (license renewal) include no

action and reasonable alternative energy

sources. The NRC is required by 10 CFR

51.95 to prepare a supplement to the

GEIS in connection with the renewal of

an operating license. This notice is

being published in accordance with 10

CFR 51.26.

The NRC staff will first conduct a scoping process for the supplement to

the GEIS and, as soon as practicable

thereafter, will prepare a draft

supplement to the GEIS for public

comment. Participation in the scoping

process by members of the public and

local, State, Tribal, and Federal

government agencies are encouraged. As

described in 10 CFR 51.29, the scoping

process for the supplement to the GEIS

will be used to accomplish the

following:

a. Define the proposed action which is to be the subject of the supplement to

the GEIS.

b. Determine the scope of the supplement to the GEIS and identify the

significant issues to be analyzed in

depth. c. Identify and eliminate from detailed study those issues that are

peripheral or that are not significant.

d. Identify any environmental assessments and other ElSs that are

being or will be prepared that are

related to, but are not part of, the scope of the supplement to the GEIS being considered.

e. Identify other environmental review and consultation requirements

related to the proposed action.

f. Indicate the relationship between the timing of the preparation of the

environmental analyses and the

Commission

's tentative planning and decision-making schedule.

g. Identify any cooperating agencies and, as appropriate, allocate

assignments for preparation and

schedules for completing the

authorized to develop and enforce

relevant environmental standards.

d. Any affected Indian tribe.

e. Any person who requests or has requested an opportunity to participate

in the scoping process.

f. Any person who has petitioned or intends to petition for leave to

intervene.

In accordance with 10 CFR 51.26, the scoping process for an EIS may include

a public scoping meeting to help

identify significant issues related to a

proposed activity and to determine the

scope of issues to be addressed in an

EIS. The NRC will hold public meetings

for the JAFNPP license renewal

supplement to the GEIS, at the Town

Municipal Building, 42 Creamery Road, Oswego, New York 13126, on Thursday, October 12, 2006. There will be two

BILLING CODE 7590 P NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50

-275 And 50

-323] Pacific Gas and Electric Company; Diablo Canyon Power Plant, Unit Nos.

1 and 2 Environmental Assessment

and Finding of No Significant Impact The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering

issuance of an amendment to Title 10 of

the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Section 50.90 for Facility

Operating Licenses, Nos. DPR

-80 and DPR-82, issued to Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E, the licensee)

for operation of the Diablo Canyon

Power Plant, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 (DCPP or facility), located in San Luis Obispo County, California. Therefore, as

required by 10 CFR 51.21, the NRC is

issuing this environmental assessment

and finding of no significant impact.

Environmental Assessment

Identification of the Proposed Action The proposed action would delete the antitrust license conditions from the

licenses.

The proposed action is in accordance with the licensee

's application dated January 19, 2006, as supplemented by

letter dated June 20, 2006.

The Need for the Proposed Action Circumstances have changed significantly from those that existed

when the antitrust license conditions

were first imposed 28 years ago. In

particular, there have been recent

developments in the law at both the

Federal and State levels to ensure

competition in the industry in

California and elsewhere. Moreover, agreements binding PG&E related to the

Stanislaus Commitments will continue

to be in effect whether or not the

antitrust conditions actually remain a

part of the DCPP licenses, and

competitors have voiced no opposition

to the removal of the conditions.

Finally, under the limited statutory

authority granted to the NRC under

Section 105 of the Atomic Energy Act of

1954, it appears that the NRC lacks the

authority now to continue to impose the

antitrust conditions against PG&E

through the DCPP licenses. Accordingly, in consideration of all of the foregoing, the licensee has requested to remove the

antitrust conditions from the licenses as

the conditions are no longer necessary

to serve the original intended purpose.

Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Action The NRC has completed its safety evaluation of the proposed action and

concludes that the proposed license

amendment involves administrative

actions which have no effect on plant

equipment or operation.

The details of the staff

's safety evaluation will be provided in the

license amendment that will be issued

as part of the letter to the licensee

approving the license amendment.

The proposed action will not significantly increase the probability or

consequences of accidents. No changes

are being made in the types of effluents

that may be released off site. There is no

significant increase in the amount of
