BILLING CODE 4510–30–P 

NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION 

Publication of the Draft Environmental 

Impact Statement (DEIS) for the 

Advanced Technology Solar Telescope 

(ATST) at the Haleakala ̄ High Altitude 

Observatory (HO) Site, Haleakala ̄, 

Island of Maui, Hawai’i 

AGENCY: National Science Foundation. 

ACTION: Notice—Draft Environmental 

Impact Statement. 

SUMMARY: The National Science 

Foundation (NSF) has prepared a Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) 

for the proposed Advanced Technology 

Solar Telescope (ATST) Project. This 

joint DEIS is prepared in compliance 

with the Federal National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and 

the State of Hawai’i Chapter 343, 

Hawai’i Revised Statutes (HRS). The 

NSF, through an award to the National 

Solar Observatory (NSO), plans to fund 

construction of the proposed ATST at 

the University of Hawai’i Institute for 

Astronomy (IfA), Haleakala ̄ High 

Altitude Observatory (HO) site, on the 

Island of Maui, Hawai’i. An extensive 

campaign of worldwide site testing has 

identified Haleakala ̄ Observatory as the 

optimal location for this next-generation 

solar observing facility. The telescope 

enclosure and a support facility would 

be placed at one of two identified sites 

within the existing observatory 

boundaries. The DEIS addresses the

52586 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 172 / Wednesday, September 6, 2006 / Notices 

multi-year selection process of these 

sites and the potential environmental 

impacts of on-site construction, 

installation, and operation of this 

proposed new solar telescope. With its 

unprecedented 4.2-m (165-inch) 

aperture, advanced optical technology, 

and state-of-the-art instrumentation, the 

proposed ATST would be an 

indispensable tool for exploring and 

understanding physical processes on the 

sun that ultimately affect Earth. The 

DEIS addresses, among other things, the 

potential direct, indirect, and 

cumulative environmental impacts 

associated with the proposed Advanced 

Technology Solar Telescope project.

National Science Foundation will not 

construct the Advanced Technology 

Solar Telescope on Maui. 

Publication of the DEIS does not 

foreclose consideration of any courses of 

action or possible decisions addressed 

by the National Science Foundation in 

its Final Environmental Impact 

Statement (FEIS). No final decisions 

will be made regarding construction of

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 50–128; EA–06–211] 

In the Matter of Texas A&M University 

(Nuclear Science Center TRIGA 

Research Reactor); Order Modifying 

Amended Facility Operating License 

No. R–83 

I 

The Texas A&M University (the 

licensee) is the holder of Amended 

Facility Operating License No. R–83 (the 

license). The license was issued on 

December 7, 1961, by the U.S. Atomic 

Energy Commission and subsequently 

renewed on March 30, 1983, by the U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the 

NRC or the Commission). The license 

includes authorization to operate the 

Nuclear Science Center TRIGA Research 

Reactor (the facility) at a power level up 

to 1,000 kilowatts thermal (1,300 

kilowatts thermal for purposes of testing 

and calibration) and to receive, possess, 

and use special nuclear material 

associated with the operation. The 

facility is on the campus of the Texas 

A&M University, in the city of College 

Station, Brazos County, Texas. The 

mailing address is Nuclear Science 

Center, Texas Engineering Experimental 

Station, Texas A&M University, 3575

3575. 

II 

On February 25, 1986, the 

Commission promulgated a final rule, 

Title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR) Section 50.64, 

limiting the use of high-enriched 

uranium (HEU) fuel in domestic nonpower reactors (research and test 

reactors) (see 51 FR 6514). The 

regulation, which became effective on 

March 27, 1986, requires that if Federal 

Government funding for conversionrelated costs is available, each licensee 

of a non-power reactor authorized to use 

HEU fuel shall replace it with lowenriched uranium (LEU) fuel acceptable 

to the Commission unless the 

Commission has determined that the 

reactor has a unique purpose. The 

Commission’s stated purpose for these 

requirements was to reduce, to the 

maximum extent possible, the use of 

HEU fuel in order to reduce the risk of 

theft and diversion of HEU fuel used in 

non-power reactors. 

Paragraphs 50.64(b)(2)(i) and (ii) 

require that a licensee of a non-power 

reactor (1) not acquire more HEU fuel if 

LEU fuel that is acceptable to the 

Commission for that reactor is available 

when the licensee proposes to acquire 

HEU fuel and (2) replace all HEU fuel 

in its possession with available LEU fuel 

acceptable to the Commission for that 

reactor in accordance with a schedule 

determined pursuant to 10 CFR 

50.64(c)(2). 

Paragraph 50.64(c)(2)(i) requires, 

among other things, that each licensee 

of a non-power reactor authorized to 

possess and to use HEU fuel develop 

and submit to the Director of the Office 

of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (Director) 

by March 27, 1987, and at 12-month 

intervals, thereafter, a written proposal 

for meeting the requirements of the rule. 

The licensee shall include in its 

proposal a certification that Federal 

Government funding for conversion is 

available through the U.S. Department 

of Energy or other appropriate Federal 

agency and a schedule for conversion, 

based upon availability of replacement 

fuel acceptable to the Commission for 

that reactor and upon consideration of 

other factors such as the availability of 

shipping casks, implementation of 

arrangements for available financial 

support, and reactor usage. 

Paragraph 50.64(c)(2)(iii) requires the 

licensee to include in the proposal, to 

the extent required to effect conversion, 

all necessary changes to the license, to 

the facility, and to licensee procedures. 

This paragraph also requires the 

licensee to submit supporting safety 

analyses in time to meet the conversion 

schedule. 

Paragraph 50.64(c)(2)(iii) also requires 

the Director to review the licensee 

proposal, to confirm the status of 

Federal Government funding, and to 

determine a final schedule, if the 

licensee has submitted a schedule for 

conversion. 

Section 50.64(c)(3) requires the 

Director to review the supporting safety 

analyses and to issue an appropriate 

enforcement order directing both the 

conversion and, to the extent consistent 

with protection of public health and 

safety, any necessary changes to the 

license, the facility, and licensee 

procedures. In the Federal Register 

notice of the final rule (51 FR 6514), the 

Commission explained that in most, if
