NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS

ADMINISTRATION

Agency Information Collection

Activities: Proposed Collection;

Comment Request

AGENCY: National Archives and Records

Administration (NARA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: NARA is giving public notice

that the agency proposes to request

extension of a currently approved

information collection used when a

request involves a record or information

that may be from military records that

were lost in a fire on July 12, 1973, at

the National Personnel Records Center

(NPRC), so that NPRC can search

alternative sources to reconstruct the

requested information. The public is

invited to comment on the proposed

information collection pursuant to the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

DATES: Written comments must be

received on or before October 20, 1997

to be assured of consideration.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent

to: Paperwork Reduction Act Comments

(NHP), Room 3200, National Archives

and Records Administration, 8601

Adelphi Rd, College Park, MD 20740–

6001; or faxed to 301–713–6913; or

electronically mailed to

tamee.fechhelm@arch2.nara.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Requests for additional information or

copies of the proposed information

collections and supporting statements

should be directed to Tamee Fechhelm

at telephone number 301–713–6730, or

fax number 301–713–6913.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

(Pub. L. 104–13), NARA invites the

general public and other Federal

agencies to comment on proposed

information collections. The comments

and suggestions should address one or

more of the following points: (a)

whether the proposed collection

information is necessary for the proper

performance of the functions of NARA;

(b) the accuracy of NARA’s estimate of

the burden of the proposed information

collections; (c) ways to enhance the

quality, utility, and clarity of the

information to be collected; and (d)

ways to minimize the burden of the

collection of information on

respondents, including the use of

information technology. The comments

that are submitted will be summarized

and included in the NARA request for

Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) approval. All comments will

become a matter of public record. In this

notice, NARA is soliciting comments

concerning the following information

collection:

Title: Questionnaire about Military

Service.

OMB number: 3095–0029.

Agency form number: NA Form

13075.

Type of review: Regular.

Affected public: Veterans, their

authorized representatives, state and

local governments, and businesses.

Estimated number of respondents:

70,000.

Estimated time per response: 5

minutes.

Frequency of response: On occasion

(when respondent wishes to request

information from a military service

record). Most of these respondents

initially submitted a request on a SF 180

or in a letter for records that may have

been lost in the 1973 fire.

Estimated total annual burden hours:

5,833 hours.

Abstract: Individuals who write to the

National Personnel Records Center

(NPRC) to request information from

their military service record may receive

this form. The information collection,

used by the NPRC in cases where the

information provided on the SF 180 or

in a letter is not sufficient to locate the

requested record or information, asks

the requester to furnish additional

information. A major fire on July 14,

1973, destroyed a number of military

records at the NPRC. If the request

involves a record or information that

may be from records that were lost in

the fire, the requester may be asked to

complete NA Form 13075,

Questionnaire about Military Service, so

NPRC can search alternative sources to

reconstruct the requested information.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket No.: 030–04552]

Consideration of Amendment Request

for Decommissioning the Department

of the Army, Westwood Radioactive

Material Disposal Facility in the

Edgewood Area, Aberdeen Proving

Ground, Maryland, and Opportunity for

a Hearing

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission.

ACTION: Notice of consideration of

amendment request for

decommissioning the Westwood

Radioactive Material Disposal Facility

in the Edgewood Area, Aberdeen

Proving Ground, Maryland, and

opportunity for a hearing.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission is considering issuance of

a license amendment to Nuclear

Material License No. 19–10306–01,

issued to the Department of the Army,

Edgewood Research, Development and

Engineering Center (the licensee), to

authorize decommissioning of its

facility previously used as a waste

handling facility and later for

radioactive waste research and

development (R&D).

On May 30, 1997, the licensee

submitted a site decommissioning plan

(SDP) to NRC for review that

summarized the decommissioning

activities that will be undertaken to

remove soils, piping and underground

septic equipment contaminated with

radioactive material.

The NRC will require the licensee to

remediate the Westwood facility to meet

NRC’s decommissioning criteria, and

during the decommissioning activities,

to maintain effluents and doses within

NRC requirements and as low as

reasonably achievable.

Prior to approving the

decommissioning plan, NRC will have

made findings required by the Atomic

Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and

NRC’s regulations. These findings will

be documented in a Safety Evaluation

Report. Approval of the SDP will be

documented in an amendment to

License No. 19–10306–01.

The NRC hereby provides notice that

this is a proceeding on an application

for amendment of a license falling

within the scope of Subpart L, ‘‘Informal

Hearing Procedures for Adjudication in

Materials Licensing Proceedings,’’ of

NRC’s rules and practice for domestic

licensing proceedings in 10 CFR Part 2.

Pursuant to § 2.1205(a), any person

whose interest may be affected by this

proceeding may file a request for a

hearing in accordance with § 2.1205(c).

A request for a hearing must be filed

within thirty (30) days of the date of

publication of this Federal Register

notice.

The request for a hearing must be

filed with the Office of the Secretary,

either

1. By delivery to the Docketing and

Service Branch of the Secretary at One

Pike, Rockville, MD 20852–2738; or

2. By mail or telegram addressed to

the Secretary, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission, Washington, DC 20555.

Attention: Docketing and Service

Branch.

In addition to meeting other

applicable requirements of 10 CFR Part

2 of the NRC’s regulations, a request for

a hearing filed by a person other than

an applicant must describe in detail:

1. The interest of the requester in the

proceeding;

2. How that interest may be affected

by the results of the proceeding,

including the reasons why the requestor

should be permitted a hearing, with

particular reference to the factors set out

in § 2.1205(g);

3. The requester’s areas of concern

about the licensing activity that is the

subject matter of the proceeding; and

4. The circumstances establishing that

the request for a hearing is timely in

accordance with § 2.1205(c).

In accordance with 10 CFR

§ 2.1205(e), each request for a hearing

must also be served, by delivering it

personally or by mail, to:

1. The applicant, Department of the

Army, Edgewood Research,

Development and Engineering Center,

Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD 21010–

5423 Attention: Mr. Peter Spaeth; and

2. The NRC staff, by delivery to the

Executive Director for Operations, One

White Flint North, 11555 Rockville

Pike, Rockville, MD 20852, or by mail,

addressed to the Executive Director for

Operations, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission, Washington, DC 20555.

For further details with respect to this

action, the site decommissioning plan is

available for inspection at the NRC’s

Public Document Room, 2120 L Street

N.W., Washington, D.C. 20555, or at

NRC’s Region I offices located at 475
