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 11, 2009. 

1. Type of submission: new, revision, 

or extension: Extension. 

2. The title of the information 

collection: Policy Statement on 

Cooperation with States at Commercial 

Nuclear Power Plants and Other 

Production or Utilization Facilities. 

3. Current OMB approval number: 

3150–0163. 

4. The form number if applicable: 

N/A. 

5. How often the collection is 

required: On occasion, when a State 

wishes to observe NRC inspections or 

perform inspections for NRC. 

6. Who will be required or asked to 

report: Those States interested in 

observing or performing inspections. 

7. An estimate of the number of 

annual responses: 80. 

8. The estimated number of annual 

respondents: 56 (50 for nuclear facility 

licensees + 6 for materials security 

licensees). 

9. An estimate of the total number of 

hours needed annually to complete the 

requirement or request: 800 hours 

(approximately 10 hours per response). 

10. Abstract: States wishing to enter 

into an agreement with NRC to observe 

or participate in NRC inspections at 

nuclear power facilities or conduct 

materials security inspections against 

NRC Orders are requested to provide 

certain information to the NRC to ensure 

close cooperation and consistency with 

the NRC inspection program, as 

specified by the Commission’s Policy of 

Cooperation with States at Commercial 

Nuclear Power Plants and Other Nuclear 

Production or Utilization Facilities and 

Section 274i of the Atomic Energy Act, 

as amended.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 50–315; NRC–2009–0406; 

License No. DPR–058] 

Indiana Michigan Power Company 

Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant, Unit 1; 

Notice of Issuance of Director’s 

Decision Under 10 CFR 2.206 

Notice is hereby given that the 

Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor 

Regulation, has issued a director’s 

decision with regard to a petition dated 

December 16, 2008, filed on behalf of 

the Union of Concerned Scientists 

(UCS) by Mr. David Lochbaum, 

hereinafter referred to as the 

‘‘petitioner.’’ In a letter dated February 

2, 2009, Mr. Lochbaum designated Dr. 

Edwin Lyman as the petitioner and new 

point of contact for UCS. The petition 

concerns the safe future operation of 

Indiana Michigan Power Company’s 

(the licensee) Donald C. Cook Nuclear 

Power Plant, Unit 1 (CNP–1). 

The petition requested that the U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) 

issue a demand for information 

requiring the licensee to docket 

information on four issues described 

below at least 30 days before restarting 

CNP–1 from the current outage. 

As the basis for the December 16, 

2008, request, the petitioner raised 

concerns stemming from the significant 

vibration resulting from the failure of 

the CNP–1 main turbine on September 

20, 2008. Specifically, the petitioner 

stated that the event caused significant 

vibration levels that resulted in the 

spurious operation of standby 

equipment and may have contributed to 

a breach that seriously impaired the fire 

protection system. The petitioner 

requested the information, in part, to 

ensure that the licensee had applied the 

proper lessons learned from the event to 

the future operation of the CNP–1 

reactor. The petitioner further stated 

that without this information, the NRC 

could not be assured that the public was 

adequately protected from the 

significant adverse safety implications 

resulting from a safe shutdown 

earthquake event that causes the 

spurious actuation of equipment. 

On January 21, 2009, the NRC Petition 

Review Board (PRB) convened to 

discuss the petition under consideration 

and determined that it met the criteria 

established in NRC Management 

Directive 8.11, ‘‘Review Process for 10 

CFR 2.206 Petitions,’’ dated October 25, 

2000, for acceptance into the process 

under Title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR) 2.206, ‘‘Requests 

for action under this subpart.’’ On 

January 27, 2009, the NRC staff 

discussed this conclusion with the 

petitioner during a telephone 

conversation. The petitioner stated 

during this conversation that he would 

not need a public meeting to address the 

PRB. 

The NRC sent a copy of the proposed 

director’s decision to the petitioner and 

the licensee for comment on July 2, 

2009. The staff did not receive any 

comments on the proposed director’s 

decision. 

The Director of the Office of Nuclear 

Reactor Regulation has determined that 

the agency should deny the request that 

the NRC issue a demand for information 

requiring Indiana Michigan Power 

Company to docket information on four 

issues at least 30 days before restarting 

CNP–1 from the current outage. The 

director’s decision, DD–09–02, explains 

the reasons for this decision pursuant to 

10 CFR 2.206. The complete text of the 

decision is available in the Agencywide 

Documents Access and Management 

System (ADAMS) Electronic Reading 

Room (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML092230012) on the NRC’s Web site, 

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

adams.html, and for inspection at the 

Commission’s Public Document Room, 

located at One White Flint North, Public 

File Area O1 F21, 11555 Rockville Pike 

(first floor), Rockville, Maryland. 

In a letter dated May 12, 2009, the 

licensee provided a response to the 

petitioner’s request for information. The 

NRC technical staff reviewed the 

licensee’s response and other docketed 

information associated with the event. 

The NRC staff has concluded that public 

health and safety were not affected by 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
47626 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 178 / Wednesday, September 16, 2009 / Notices 

the event, nor would they be affected by 

a similar event in the future. 

Furthermore, the NRC has found the 

licensee’s event response and corrective 

actions to be reasonable and technically 

sound. 

Based on the above, the Office of 

Nuclear Reactor Regulation has 

concluded that future operation of 

CNP–1 provides reasonable assurance of 

the continued protection of public 

health and safety. There were no 

violations associated with the event. 

The licensee’s corrective actions in 

response to the event appear 

appropriate. No further action is 

required. 

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.206 of 

the Commission’s regulations, the staff 

will file a copy of the director’s decision 

with the Secretary of the Commission 

for the Commission’s review. As 

provided for by this regulation, the 

director’s decision will constitute the 

final action of the Commission 25 days 

after the date of the decision, unless the 

Commission, on its own motion, 

institutes a review of the director’s 

decision within that time. 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 4th day 

of September 2009. 

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. 

Eric J. Leeds, 

Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor 

Regulation.
