Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 241 / Tuesday, December 16, 1997 / Notices 65821

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each year

U.S. Government agencies create

billions of records on paper, film,

magnetic tape, and other media. In order

to control this accumulation, agency

records managers prepare records

schedules specifying when the agency

no longer needs the records and what

happens to the records after this period.

Some schedules are comprehensive and

cover all the records of an agency or one

of its major subdivisions. These

comprehensive schedules provide for

the eventual transfer to the National

Archives of historically valuable records

and authorize the disposal of all other

records. Most schedules, however, cover

records of only one office or program or

a few series of records, and many are

updates of previously approved

schedules. Such schedules also may

include records that are designated for

permanent retention.

Destruction of records requires the

approval of the Archivist of the United

States. This approval is granted after a

thorough study of the records that takes

into account their administrative use by

the agency of origin, the rights of the

Government and of private persons

directly affected by the Government’s

activities, and historical or other value.

This public notice identifies the

Federal agencies and their subdivisions

requesting disposition authority,

includes the control number assigned to

each schedule, and briefly describes the

records proposed for disposal. The

records schedule contains additional

information about the records and their

disposition. Further information about

the disposition process will be

furnished to each requester.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket 70–7001]

Notice of Amendment to Certificate of

Compliance GDP–1 for the U.S.

Enrichment Corporation Paducah

Gaseous Diffusion Plant, Paducah, KY

The Director, Office of Nuclear

Material Safety and Safeguards, has

made a determination that the following

amendment request is not significant in

accordance with 10 CFR 76.45. In

making that determination, the staff
65822 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 241 / Tuesday, December 16, 1997 / Notices

concluded that: (1) There is no change

in the types or significant increase in

the amounts of any effluents that may be

released offsite; (2) there is no

significant increase in individual or

cumulative occupational radiation

exposure; (3) there is no significant

construction impact; (4) there is no

significant increase in the potential for,

or radiological or chemical

consequences from, previously analyzed

accidents; (5) the proposed changes do

not result in the possibility of a new or

different kind of accident; (6) there is no

significant reduction in any margin of

safety; and (7) the proposed changes

will not result in an overall decrease in

the effectiveness of the plant’s safety,

safeguards or security programs. The

basis for this determination for the

amendment request is shown below.

The NRC staff has reviewed the

certificate amendment application and

concluded that it provides reasonable

assurance of adequate safety, safeguards,

and security, and compliance with NRC

requirements. Therefore, the Director,

Office of Nuclear Material Safety and

Safeguards, is prepared to issue an

amendment to the Certificate of

Compliance for the Paducah Gaseous

Diffusion Plant. The staff has prepared

a Compliance Evaluation Report which

provides details of the staff’s evaluation.

The NRC staff has determined that

this amendment satisfies the criteria for

a categorical exclusion in accordance

with 10 CFR 51.22. Therefore, pursuant

to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental

impact statement or environmental

assessment need be prepared for this

amendment.

USEC or any person whose interest

may be affected may file a petition, not

exceeding 30 pages, requesting review

of the Director’s Decision. The petition

must be filed with the Commission not

later than 15 days after publication of

this Federal Register Notice. A petition

for review of the Director’s Decision

shall set forth with particularity the

interest of the petitioner and how that

interest may be affected by the results of

the decision. The petition should

specifically explain the reasons why

review of the Decision should be

permitted with particular reference to

the following factors: (1) The interest of

the petitioner; (2) how that interest may

be affected by the Decision, including

the reasons why the petitioner should

be permitted a review of the Decision;

and (3) the petitioner’s areas of concern

about the activity that is the subject

matter of the Decision. Any person

described in this paragraph (USEC or

any person who filed a petition) may

file a response to any petition for

review, not to exceed 30 pages, within

10 days after filing of the petition. If no

petition is received within the

designated 15-day period, the Director

will issue the final amendment to the

Certificate of Compliance without

further delay. If a petition for review is

received, the decision on the

amendment application will become

final in 60 days, unless the Commission

grants the petition for review or

otherwise acts within 60 days after

publication of this Federal Register

Notice.

A petition for review must be filed

with the Secretary, U.S. Nuclear

Regulatory Commission, Washington,

DC 20555–0001, Attention: Rulemakings

and Adjudications Staff, or may be

delivered to the Commission’s Public

Document Room, the Gelman Building,

2120 L Street, NW, Washington, DC, by

the above date.

For further details with respect to the

action see (1) the application for

amendment and (2) the Commission’s

Compliance Evaluation Report. These

items are available for public inspection

at the Commission’s Public Document

Room, the Gelman Building, 2120 L

Street, NW, Washington, DC, and at the

Local Public Document Room.

Date of amendment request: August

29, 1997.

Brief description of amendment: The

amendment proposes to revise the

Technical Safety Requirements (TSRs)

for the uranium hexafluoride release

detection systems located in Zones 1

and 4 of Building C–360. The revision

is to include operability and

surveillance requirements for additional

valves that are required to close upon

C–360 Zone 1 or 4 uranium

hexafluoride detection.

Basis for Finding of No Significance

1. The proposed amendment will not

result in a change in the types or

significant increase in the amounts of

any effluents that may be released

offsite.

The proposed changes establish

limiting conditions for operation and

associated surveillance requirements to

demonstrate the operability of

containment isolation valves. The

change has no effect on the generation

or disposition of effluents. Therefore,

the proposed TSR modifications will

not result in a change to the types or

amount of effluents that may be released

offsite.

2. The proposed amendment will not

result in a significant increase in

individual or cumulative occupational

radiation exposure.

The proposed changes will not

significantly increase any exposure to

radiation. Therefore, the changes will

not result in a significant increase in

individual or cumulative radiation

exposure.

3. The proposed amendment will not

result in a significant construction

impact.

The proposed changes will not result

in any construction, only procedure

modification, therefore, there will be no

construction impacts.

4. The proposed amendment will not

result in a significant increase in the

potential for, or radiological or chemical

consequences from, previously analyzed

accidents.

Accidents of concern involve the

release of uranium hexafluoride in the

C–360 laboratory area (Zone 1) and the

basement transfer room (Zone 4). The

proposed TSR changes ensure that the

TSRs adequately address the current

plant configuration by establishing

limiting conditions for operation and

associated surveillance requirements to

demonstrate the operability of

containment isolation valves. These

changes will enhance the overall plant

safety. The changes will not increase the

probability of occurrence or

consequence of any postulated accident

currently identified in the safety

analysis report.

5. The proposed amendment will not

result in the possibility of a new or

different kind of accident.

The proposed TSR modifications are

necessary to reflect the fact that

multiple valves on the autoclave

transfer and sampling piping will isolate

upon detection of uranium

hexafluoride. The current TSR does not

reflect recent modifications requiring

closure of at least two isolation valves

on each transfer/sampling pathway. The

proposed changes will not create the

possibility of a different type of

equipment malfunction or a different

type of accident.

6. The proposed amendment will not

result in a significant reduction in any

margin of safety.

The proposed changes to the TSRs

ensure that the TSRs adequately address

the current plant configuration by

establishing limiting conditions for

operation and associated surveillance

requirements to demonstrate the

operability of containment isolation

valves that are required to close upon

detection of uranium hexafluoride.

These changes do not decrease the

margins of safety.

7. The proposed amendment will not

result in an overall decrease in the

effectiveness of the plant’s safety,

safeguards or security programs.

Implementation of the proposed

changes do not change the safety,
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 241 / Tuesday, December 16, 1997 / Notices 65823

safeguards, or security programs.

Therefore, the effectiveness of the

safety, safeguards, and security

programs is not decreased.

Effective date: The amendment to

Certificate of Compliance GDP–1

becomes effective 30 days after being

signed by the Director, Office of Nuclear

Material Safety and Safeguards.

Certificate of Compliance No. GDP–1:

Amendment will revise TSR 2.1.4.1 and

2.1.4.2a to establish operability and

surveillance requirements for additional

valves required to close upon C–360

Zone 1 or 4 uranium hexafluoride

detection.

publication of this Federal Register

Notice.

A petition for review must be filed

with the Secretary, U.S. Nuclear

Regulatory Commission, Washington,

DC 20555–0001, Attention: Rulemakings

and Adjudications Staff, or may be

delivered to the Commission’s Public

Document Room, the Gelman Building,

2120 L Street, NW, Washington, DC, by

the above date.

For further details with respect to the

action see (1) the application for

amendment and (2) the Commission’s

Compliance Evaluation Report. These

items are available for public inspection

at the Commission’s Public Document

Room, the Gelman Building, 2120 L

Street, NW, Washington, DC, and at the

Local Public Document Room.

Date of amendment request: April 23,

1997, revised July 31, 1997.

Brief description of amendment: The

amendment is related to the planned

modifications to upgrade the seismic

capability of Buildings C–331 and C–

335 at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion

plant. Specifically, the proposed

amendment will move back the

completion date for the seismic

modifications required by Compliance

Plan Issue 36, from December 31, 1997,

to June 30, 1999. Additionally, the

amendment approves proposed

resolutions of the following three issues:

(1) The increased stiffness of the

buildings following completion of the

modifications may change the predicted

type and number of seismically-induced

equipment failures inside the buildings;

(2) the process of installing the new

structural steel will temporarily make

the building and contained equipment

more susceptible to seismically-induced

failures as the existing structural frames

are altered and/or replaced; and (3) the

process of installing the new structural

steel may temporally increase the

probability of equipment failures due to

load handling accidents during

construction. The amendment will also

partially deny the USEC request. USEC

will be required to begin the planned

18-month construction effort when the

amendment is effective, instead of

delaying until after the NRC completes

review of an updated seismic risk

analysis, USEC’s updated safety analysis

report, and USEC’s final design for the

planned seismic modifications. The

proposed amendment will also approve

two editorial changes to the Justification

for Continued Operation (JCO) in

Compliance Plan Issue 36; one other

proposed change to the JCO will be

denied.

Effective date: The amendment to

Certificate of Compliance GDP–1

becomes effective immediately upon

being signed by the Director, Office of

Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards.

Certificate of Compliance No. GDP–1:

The amendment will revise Compliance

Plan Issue 36 on the seismic

modifications and will allow the

planned modifications to proceed.
