Notice of Issuance of Amendments to 

Facility Operating Licenses 

During the period since publication of 

the last biweekly notice, the 

Commission has issued the following 

amendments. The Commission has 

determined for each of these 

amendments that the application 

complies with the standards and 

requirements of the Atomic Energy Act 

of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the 

Commission’s rules and regulations. 

The Commission has made appropriate 

findings as required by the Act and the 

Commission’s rules and regulations in 

10 CFR Chapter I, which are set forth in 

the license amendment. 

Notice of Consideration of Issuance of 

Amendment to Facility Operating 

License, Proposed No Significant 

Hazards Consideration Determination, 

and Opportunity for A Hearing in 

connection with these actions was 

published in the Federal Register as 

indicated. 

Unless otherwise indicated, the 

Commission has determined that these 

amendments satisfy the criteria for 

categorical exclusion in accordance 

with 10 CFR 51.22. Therefore, pursuant 

to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental 

impact statement or environmental 

assessment need be prepared for these 

amendments. If the Commission has 

prepared an environmental assessment 

under the special circumstances 

provision in 10 CFR 51.22(b) and has 

made a determination based on that 

assessment, it is so indicated. 

For further details with respect to the 

action see (1) the applications for 

amendment, (2) the amendment, and (3)

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[NRC–2009–0485] 

Draft Safety Culture Policy Statement: 

Request for Public Comments; 

Extension of Comment Period 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC). 

ACTION: Issuance of draft safety culture 

policy statement and notice of 

opportunity for public comment; 

Extension of comment period. 

SUMMARY: On November 6, 2009, (74 FR 

57525) (ML093030375), the Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission (NRC) 

published for public comment a draft 

policy statement on safety culture to 

include the unique aspects of nuclear 

safety and security, and to note the 

Commission’s expectations that all NRC 

licensees and certificate holders 

establish and maintain a positive safety 

culture that protects public health and 

safety and the common defense and 

security when carrying out licensed 

activities. The comment period was 

scheduled to expire on February 4, 

2010, which coincides with the final 

day of the first of three public 

workshops the NRC is conducting to 

solicit input relating to the development 

of the safety culture policy statement, 

including: (1) development of a 

common safety culture definition; and 

(2) development of high-level 

WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 7 / Tuesday, January 12, 2010 / Notices 1657 

description/traits of areas important to 

safety culture. Based on comments from 

licensees that these workshops may 

stimulate additional comments on the 

final draft policy statement, the NRC has 

decided to extend the comment period 

on the draft policy statement from 

February 4, 2010, to March 1, 2010. 

DATES: The comment period has been 

extended and now expires on March 1, 

2010. Comments received after this date 

will be considered if it is practical to do 

so, but the Commission is able to ensure 

consideration only for comments 

received before this date. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

by any one of the following methods. 

Please include Docket ID NRC–2009– 

0485 in the subject line of your 

comments. Comments submitted in 

writing or in electronic form will be 

posted on the NRC Web site and on the 

Federal rulemaking Web site 

Regulations.gov. Because your 

comments will not be edited to remove 

any identifying or contact information, 

the NRC cautions you against including 

any information in your submission that 

you do not want to be publicly 

disclosed. 

The NRC requests that any party 

soliciting or aggregating comments 

received from other persons for 

submission to the NRC inform those 

persons that the NRC will not edit their 

comments to remove any identifying or 

contact information, and therefore, they 

should not include any information in 

their comments that they do not want 

publicly disclosed.
