environmental impacts associated with 

the proposed action. 

With regard to potential nonradiological impacts, the proposed 

action does not have a potential to affect 

any historic sites. It does not affect nonradiological plant effluents and has no 

other environmental impact. Therefore, 

there are no significant non-radiological 

environmental impacts associated with 

the proposed action. 

Accordingly, the NRC concludes that 

there are no significant environmental 

impacts associated with the proposed 

action. 

Environmental Impacts of the 

Alternatives to the Proposed Action 

As an alternative to the proposed 

action, the staff considered denial of the 

proposed action (i.e., the ‘‘no-action’’

alternative). Denial of the application 

would result in no change in current 

environmental impacts. The 

environmental impacts of the proposed 

action and the alternative action are 

similar. 

Alternative Use of Resources 

The action does not involve the use of 

any different resources than those 

previously considered in the Final 

Addendum to the Final Environmental 

Statement Related to Operation of the 

Palisades Nuclear Plant, dated February 

1978. 

Agencies and Persons Consulted 

In accordance with its stated policy, 

on September 11, 2006, the staff 

consulted with the Michigan State 

official, Mary Ann Elzerman of the 

Department of Environmental Quality, 

regarding the environmental impact of 

the proposed action. The State official 

had no comments. 

Finding of No Significant Impact 

On the basis of the environmental 

assessment, the NRC concludes that the 

proposed action will not have a 

significant effect on the quality of the 

human environment. Accordingly, the 

NRC has determined not to prepare an 

environmental impact statement for the 

proposed action. 

For further details with respect to the 

proposed action, see the licensee’s letter 

dated October 4, 2005, as supplemented 

by letter dated June 14, 2006.

BILLING CODE 7590–01–M 

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

Notice of Availability of Model 

Application Concerning Technical 

Specification Improvement To Modify 

Requirements Regarding the Addition 

of LCO 3.0.9 on the Unavailability of 

Barriers Using the Consolidated Line 

Item Improvement Process 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the staff of the Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) has prepared a 

model safety evaluation (SE) and model 

application relating to the modification 

of requirements regarding the impact of 

unavailable barriers, not explicitly 

addressed in technical specifications, 

but required for operability of supported 

systems in technical specifications (TS). 

The NRC staff has also prepared a model 

no-significant-hazards-consideration 

(NSHC) determination relating to this 

matter. The purpose of these models is 

to permit the NRC to efficiently process 

amendments that propose to add an 

LCO 3.0.9 that provides a delay time for 

entering a supported system TS when 

the inoperability is due solely to an 

unavailable barrier, if risk is assessed 

and managed. Licensees of nuclear 

power reactors to which the models 

apply could then request amendments 

utilizing the model application, as 

generically approved by this notice, and 

confirming the applicability of the SE 

and NSHC determination to their 

reactors. 

DATES: The NRC staff issued a Federal 

Register notice (71 FR 32145, June 2, 

2006) which provided a Model Safety 

Evaluation (SE) and model application 

relating to modification of requirements 

regarding the addition to the TS of LCO 

3.0.9 the impact of unavailable barriers; 

similarly the NRC staff herein provides 

a Model Application, including a 

revised Model Safety Evaluation. The 

NRC staff can most efficiently consider 

applications based upon the Model 

Application, which references the 

Model Safety Evaluation, if the 

application is submitted within one year 

of this Federal Register notice.
