NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. NRC–2009–0218] 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Submission for the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

Review; Comment Request 

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC). 

ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of 

information collection and solicitation 

of public comment. 

SUMMARY: The NRC has recently 

submitted to OMB for review the 

following proposal for the collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. Chapter 35). The NRC hereby 

informs potential respondents that an 

agency may not conduct or sponsor, and 

that a person is not required to respond 

to, a collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. The NRC published a Federal 

Register Notice with a 60-day comment 

period on this information collection on 

June 3, 2009. 

1. Type of submission, new, revision, 

or extension: Extension. 

2. The title of the information 

collection: Nuclear Material Events 

Database (NMED) for the Collection of 

Event Report, Response, Analyses, and 

Follow-up Data on Events Involving the 

Use of Atomic Energy Act (AEA) 

Radioactive Byproduct Material. 

3. Current OMB approval number: 

3150–0178. 

4. The form number if applicable: 

N/A. 

5. How often the collection is 

required: Agreement States are 

requested to provide copies of licensee 

material event reports electronically or 

by hard copy to NRC within 30 days of 

receipt from their licensee. In addition, 

Agreement States are requested to report 

events that may pose a significant health 

and safety hazard to the NRC 

Headquarters Operations Officer within 

the next working day of notification by 

an Agreement State licensee. 

6. Who will be required or asked to 

report: Current Agreement States and 

any State receiving Agreement State 

status in the future. 

7. An estimate of the number of 

annual responses: 669. 

8. The estimated number of annual 

respondents: 35. 

9. An estimate of the total number of 

hours needed annually to complete the 

requirement or request: 689 hours for all 

existing Agreement State reporting. 

10. Abstract: NRC regulations require 

NRC licensees to report incidents and 

events involving the use, transportation 

and security of radioactive byproduct 

material, and source material, such as 

those involving radiation 

overexposures, leaking or contaminated 

sealed source(s), release of excessive 

contamination of radioactive material, 

lost or stolen radioactive material, 

equipment failures, abandoned well 

logging sources and medical events. 

Agreement State licenses are also 

required to report these events to their 

individual Agreement State regulatory 

authorities under compatible Agreement 

State regulations. NRC is requesting that 

the Agreement States provide 

information to NRC on the initial 

notification, response actions, and 

follow-up investigations on events 

involving the use (including suspected 

theft or terrorist activities) of nuclear 

materials regulated pursuant to the 

Atomic Energy Act. The event 

information should be provided in a 

uniform electronic format, for 

assessment and identification of any 

facilities/site specific or generic safety 

concerns that could have the potential 

to impact public health and safety. The 

identification and review of safety 

concerns may result in lessons learned, 

and may also identify generic issues for 

further study which could result in 

proposals for changes or revisions to 

technical or regulatory designs, 

processes, standards, guidance or 

requirements. 

A copy of the final supporting 

statement may be viewed free of charge

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 50–391; NRC–2008–0369] 

Tennessee Valley Authority, Watts Bar 

Nuclear Station, Unit 2; Notice of Intent 

To Prepare a Supplement to the 

Operating License Final Environmental 

Statement and Conduct Scoping 

Process 

Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) 

has submitted an application for an 

Operating License for Watts Bar Nuclear 

Station Unit 2 (WBN2). WBN2 is located 

in Rhea County, Tennessee, on the 

Tennessee River. The application for the 

operating license, dated June 30, 1976, 

was submitted pursuant to Title 10 of 

the Code of Federal Regulations (10 

CFR) Part 50. An updated operating 

license was submitted on March 4, 

2009. The WBN Unit 2 Final 

Supplemental Environmental Impact 

Statement for the Completion and 

Operation of WBN Unit 2 (June 2007) 

(FSEIS) was submitted to the U.S 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) 

on February 15, 2008 (Agencywide 

Documents Access and Management 

System (ADAMS) Accession Number 

ML080510469). The proposed action in 

response to the updated application is 

the issuance of an operating license that 

would authorize TVA to possess, use, 

and operate a second lightwater nuclear 

reactor (the facility), Watts Bar Nuclear 

Plant (WBN) Unit 2, located on the 

applicant’s site in Rhea County, 

Tennessee. The unit would operate at a 

steady-state power level of 3,411 

megawatts thermal. Alternatives to the 

proposed action include the denial of an 

operating license or issuance of a 

license for a different power level. The 

purpose of this notice is to inform the 

public that a supplement to the final 

environmental statement (FES) related 

to the review of the license application 

will be prepared in accordance with 10 

CFR 51.92 and to provide the public an 

opportunity to participate in the 

environmental scoping process, as 

defined in 10 CFR 51.29. In addition, as 

outlined in 36 CFR 800.8, ‘‘Coordination 

With the National Environmental Policy 

Act,’’ the NRC plans to coordinate 

compliance with Section 106 of the 

National Historic Preservation Act in 

meeting the requirements of the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969 (NEPA). 

TVA submitted the FSEIS on February 

15, 2008, as part of the updated 

application. The FSEIS is publicly 

available at the NRC Public Document 

Room (PDR), located at One White Flint 

North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, 

Maryland, 20852, or from the NRC’s 

ADAMS. The ADAMS Public Electronic 

Reading Room is accessible at http:// 

adamswebsearch.nrc.gov/dologin.htm. 

The ADAMS Accession Number for the 

FSEIS is ML080510469. In addition, 

TVA provided supplemental 

information to the FSEIS in two 

additional submittals: Watts Bar Nuclear 

Plant (WBN)—Unit 2—Final 

Supplemental Environmental Impact 

Statement—[response to] Request for 

Additional Information dated July 2, 

2008 (ML081850460), and Watts Bar 

Nuclear Plant (WBN) Unit 2—Final 

Supplemental Environmental Impact 

Statement—Severe Accident 

Management Alternatives dated January 

27, 2009 (ML090360706). 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.resource@nrc.gov. The FSEIS may 

also be viewed on the Internet at 

http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/plantspecific-items/watts-bar/keycorrespondence.html. 

This notice advises the public that the 

NRC intends to gather the information 

necessary to prepare a supplement to 

the WBN2 Final Environmental 

Statement. The matters to be addressed 

in the supplement include evaluation of 

new and significant circumstances or 

information, relevant to environmental 

concerns, that developed after the 1978 

FES (ADAMS Accession Number 

ML082560457). This notice is being 

published in accordance with NEPA 

and the NRC’s regulations found in 10 

CFR Part 51. 

The NRC will first conduct a scoping 

process for the supplement to the FES 

and, as soon as practicable thereafter, 

will prepare a draft supplement to the 

FES for public comment. Participation 

in the scoping process by members of 

the public and local, State, Tribal, and 

Federal government agencies is 

encouraged. The scoping process for the 

supplement to the FES as described in 

40 CFR 51.29(a)(1)–(8) will be used to 

accomplish the following: 

1. Define the proposed action which 

is to be the subject of the supplement, 

using the provision of 10 CFR 1502.4. 

2. Determine the scope of the 

supplement and identify the significant 

issues to be analyzed in depth. 

3. Identify and eliminate from 

detailed study those issues that are 

peripheral or that are not significant. 

4. Identify any environmental 

assessments and ElSs that are being, or 

will be, prepared which are related to, 

but are not part of, the scope of the 

supplement. 

5. Identify other environmental 

review and consultation requirements 

related to the proposed action so that 

other required analyses may be prepared 

concurrently and integrated with the 

supplement. 

6. Indicate the relationship between 

the timing of the preparation of the 

environmental analyses and the 

Commission’s tentative planning and 

decision-making schedule. 

7. Identify any cooperating agencies 

and, as appropriate, allocate 

assignments for preparation and 

schedules for completing the 

supplement to the FES. 

8. Describe how the supplement to the 

FES will be prepared, including any 

contractor assistance to be used.
