the end of the proposed 20-year 

extended period of operation. Onsite 

facilities are capable of processing of the 

sanitary wastewater generated by D&D 

activities and therefore D&D activities 

would result in no long-term small 

impacts. The No-Action alternative 

would result in no other nonradiological long-term small impacts. 

The No-Action alternative would 

require movement of the spent nuclear 

fuel inventory to another NRC licensed 

ISFSI. These activities are similar to, but 

in reverse of, receipt operations and do 

result in an increased level of 

occupational exposures and exposure to 

the public. Shipment of the spent 

nuclear fuel to another NRC licensed 

ISFSI before the Federal repository is 

ready to receive the fuel would result in 

two separate shipping activities, the first 

shipment moving the spent nuclear fuel 

from the GEMO ISFSI to another NRC 

licensed ISFSI, and the second from the 

second NRC licensed ISFSI to the 

Federal repository. Two shipments 

would result in more radiological 

consequences than a single shipment. 

Additionally, since the constituents of 

the spent nuclear fuel decay over time 

the radiological impacts of shipment 

would be larger if the spent nuclear fuel 

were moved immediately verses 

movement at the end of the proposed 

license renewal period in the year 2022. 

In the long-term, the immediate 

decommissioning of the GEMO ISFSI 

would have a larger negative impact on 

the local economy and infrastructure 

than if decommissioning were to take 

place at the end of the proposed 

extended period of operation. For the 

reasons cited above, the No-Action 

alternative considered is a less practical 

alternative. 

As discussed in the EA, the 

Commission has concluded that there 

are no significant environmental 

impacts associated with the proposed 

license renewal of the GEMO ISFSI, and 

other alternatives were not pursued 

because of additional occupational 

exposures, and the impracticality of 

other offsite storage options. 

Agencies and Persons Contacted:

Officials from the Illinois Emergency 

Management Agency and the Illinois 

Office of the Governor were contacted in 

preparing the staff’s Environmental 

Assessment. The Illinois Emergency 

Management Agency, provided 

comments by letter dated May 14, 2004. 

These comments have been addressed 

in the Environmental Assessment. 

II. Finding of No Significant Impact 

The staff has reviewed the 

environmental impacts for the proposed 

license renewal of the GEMO ISFSI 

relative to the requirements set forth in 

10 CFR part 51, and has prepared an 

Environmental Assessment. Based on 

the Environmental Assessment, the staff 

concludes that there are no significant 

radiological or non-radiological impacts 

associated with the proposed action and 

that issuance of a renewed license for 

the interim storage of spent nuclear fuel 

at the GEMO ISFSI will have no 

significant impact on the quality of the 

human environment. Therefore, 

pursuant to 10 CFR 51.31 and 51.32, a 

finding of no significant impact is 

appropriate and an environmental 

impact statement need not be prepared 

for the issuance of a renewed materials 

license for the GEMO ISFSI. 

Further details related to this 

proposed action are provided in the 

license application, dated May 5, 2000, 

as supplemented August 13, 2001, 

September 27, 2003, and August 9, 

2004, and the staff’s Environmental 

Assessment, dated November 30, 2004. 

However, as of October 25, 2004, the 

NRC initiated an additional security 

review of publicly available documents 

to ensure that potentially sensitive 

information is removed from the 

Agencywide Documents Access and 

Management System (ADAMS) database 

accessible through the NRC’s Web site 

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

adams.html. Interested members of the 

public should check the NRC’s Web 

pages for updates on the availability of 

documents through the ADAMS system. 

Copies of the referenced documents are 

available for review and/or copying at 

the Commission’s Public Document 

Room, One White Flint North Building, 

11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, 

Maryland, pending resumption of 

public access to ADAMS. The NRC 

Public Document Room (PDR) Reference 

staff can be contacted at 1–800–397–

OFFICE OF PERSONNEL

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request for a Revised 

Information Collection: OPM Form 

1644

AGENCY: Office of Personnel 

Management.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(Public Law 104–13, May 22, 1995), this 

notice announces that the Office of 

Personnel Management (OPM) has 

submitted to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) a request for a 

revised information collection. OPM 

Form 1644, Child Care Tuition 

Assistance Program for Federal 

Employees, is used to verify that child 

care providers are licensed and/or 

regulated by State and/or local 

authorities. Therefore, agencies need to 

verify that child care providers to whom 

they make disbursements in the form of 

child care subsidies meet the statutory 

requirement. 

Approximately 2000 OPM 1644 forms 

will be processed annually. The OPM 

Form 1644 takes approximately 10 

minutes to complete by each provider. 

The annual estimated burden is 333.3 

hours. 

For copies of this proposal, contact 

Mary Beth Smith-Toomey on (202) 606–

8358, FAX (202) 418–3251 or e-mail to 

mbtoomey@opm.gov. Please include a 

mailing address with your request.

DATES: Comments on this proposal 

should be received within 30 calendar 

days from the date of this publication.
