%20B%20Draft%20Credit%20

Redemption%20Agreement%20April%202022.pdf. 

Mitigation Measures 

The Project for which DOE has 

decided to issue credits includes all 

mitigation measures, terms, and 

conditions applied by the NRC in 

licenses DPR–80 and DPR–82. The 

mitigation measures, terms, and 

conditions represent practicable means 

by which to avoid or minimize 

environmental impacts from operation 

of DCPP. NRC is responsible for 

ensuring compliance with all adopted 

mitigation measures, terms, and 

conditions for the Project set forth by 

NRC in licenses DPR–80 and DPR–82. 

DOE’s issuance or payment of any 

credits awarded to PG&E beyond the 

period that DCPP’s current NRC 

operating licenses are in effect—that is, 

operations under a renewed license and 

not the current license—would be 

conditioned on PG&E’s compliance with 

NRC requirements applicable to license 

renewal. DOE would stop payment of 

credits and initiate a process to satisfy 

DOE’s NEPA obligations with respect to 

continuing payments during the period 

of operation under an NRC license 

renewal. 

Habitat monitoring of the DCPP is 

continuous and ongoing due to 

mitigation measures put in place in the 

DCPP license terms after the 1976 ES 

Addendum, which required as a license 

condition that, ‘‘[b]efore engaging in 

additional construction or operational 

activities which may result in a 

significant adverse environmental 

impact that was not evaluated or that is 

significantly greater than that evaluated 

in this Environmental Statement, the 

applicant shall provide written 

notification to the Director of the Office 

of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.’’ This 

license condition continues in the 

current NRC license, which states, ‘‘[a]s 

a condition of the Environmental 

Protection Plan (EPP) which is part of 

the NRC licenses for operation of DCPP, 

PG&E is required to report ‘‘unreviewed 

environmental questions’’ which ‘‘may 

result in a significant increase in any 

adverse environmental impact 

previously evaluated in the final 

environmental statement.’’ 

Implementation of such changes are 

subject to prior approval by the NRC in 

the form of a license amendment 

incorporating the appropriate revision 

into the EPP. PG&E is required to submit 

an annual report identifying if any of 

these events [which may result in a 

significant increase in any adverse 

environmental impact previously 

evaluated] occurred. 

Environmental monitoring continues 

to be conducted at DCPP under the 

Receiving Water Monitoring Program 

(RWMP) and includes monitoring tasks 

such as temperature monitoring, State 

Mussel Watch activities, and intertidal 

and subtidal surveys. 

DOE’s form credit award agreement 

for the CNC Program, which is publicly 

available,3 also contains mitigation and 

monitoring measures. As applied to 

DCPP, this includes annual reporting 

requirements on estimates of emission 

of air pollutants avoided by the 

continued operation of the DCPP 

compared to the emission of air 

pollutants reasonably expected had 

DCPP terminated operation prior to the 

commencement of the award. Annual 

reporting requirements also include the 

number of stakeholder or community 

engagement events held by PG&E and 

their attendance, including 

organizations who represent 

community-based organizations, 

Disadvantaged Communities, federallyrecognized Indian Tribes, State and 

local governments, economic 

development organizations, and labor 

representatives, as well as any 

community benefits agreements created, 

feedback received from stakeholders 

and federally-recognized Indian Tribes 

and steps to address feedback where 

necessary. 

Finally, the award agreement requires 

recipients to attest to their compliance 

with all applicable laws, including 

environmental laws, in all material 

respects at the time of award agreement 

and each time the awardee requests 

payment. Environmental laws include 

any laws in effect as of the date of the 

award agreement and in the future 

which regulate or impose obligations 

relating to environmental impacts, and 

necessarily include any associated 

environmental mitigation measures in 

the terms of NRC licenses DPR–80 and 

DPR–82 and the associated mitigation 

measures contained therein. Future 

requirements imposed by the NRC 

would also be required by the credit 

award agreement for the Project. A 

recipient’s misstatement or omission in 

representation of its compliance with all 

applicable laws may constitute an event 

of default, upon which DOE would have 

the right to exercise remedies, including 

withholding the payment of any credits.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOE 

published in the Federal Register a 

Notice of Availability for the American 

Assured Fuel Supply (AAFS), 76 FR 

51357 (Aug. 18, 2011), and an 

application to standardize the 

information that must be provided in a 

request to access the material in the 

AAFS. 78 FR 72071 (Dec. 2, 2013). DOE 

previously submitted information 

collection extension requests to the 

OMB under the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995 in 2017 and 2020. 82 FR 

17650 (April 12, 2017), 85 FR 60451 

(Sep. 25, 2020). 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the extended collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (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 through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology. 

This information collection request 

contains: 

(1) OMB No.: 1910–NEW; 

(2) Information Collection Request 

Title: The American Assured Fuel 

Supply Program; 

(3) Type of Review: Extension; 

(4) Purpose: DOE created the AAFS, a 

reserve of low enriched uranium (LEU) 

to serve as a backup fuel supply for 

foreign recipients to be supplied 

through U.S. persons, or for domestic 

recipients, in the event of fuel supply 

disruption. This effort supports the 

United States Government’s nuclear 

nonproliferation objectives by 

supporting civilian nuclear energy 

development while minimizing 

proliferation risks. This collection of 

information in the event of supply 

disruption is necessary for DOE to 

identify if applicants meet basic 

requirements to access the AAFS and 

implement this important 

nonproliferation initiative; 

(5) Annual Estimated Number of 

Respondents: 10; 

(6) Annual Estimated Number of 

Total Responses: 10; 

(7) Annual Estimated Number of 

Burden Hours: 8 per respondent for a 

total of 80 per year; 

(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $950.74 

per respondent for a total of $9057.44 

per year. 

Statutory Authority: The Secretary of 

Energy is authorized, pursuant to the 

Atomic Energy of 1954, as amended 

(Pub. L. 83–703) (42 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.), 

and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act 

of 1978 (Pub. L. 95–242) (22 U.S.C. 3201 

et seq.), to encourage the widespread 

use of atomic energy for peaceful 

purposes, and to enter into agreements 

and distribute nuclear material in 

cooperation with other nations where 

appropriate safeguard measures are in 

place to ensure the material is properly 

controlled and used for peaceful 

purposes. 

DOE published in the Federal 

Register a notice of availability for the 

AAFS, 76 FR 51357 (Aug. 18, 2011), and 

a notice of availability of application 

guidance to standardize the information 

that must be provided in an application 

requesting LEU from the AAFS, 78 FR 

72071 (Dec. 2, 2013). This second notice 

‘‘requests that persons or companies 

that seek to purchase low enriched 

uranium (LEU) from the U.S. 

Department of Energy’s American 

Assured Fuel Supply (AFS) provide 

information sufficient to evaluate the 

request to the Office of Nonproliferation 

and International Security [now called 

Office of Nonproliferation and Arms 

Control], National Nuclear Security 

Administration.’’
