Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 189 / Thursday, September 28, 2000 / Notices 58299

Summary

The proposed power uprate will not

significantly increase the probability or

consequences of accidents, will not

involve any new radiological release

pathways, will not result in a significant

increase in occupational or public

radiation exposure, and will not result

in significant additional fuel cycle

environmental impacts. Accordingly,

the NRC staff concludes that there are

no significant radiological

environmental impacts associated with

the proposed action.

Non-Radiological Environmental

Assessment

The licensee reviewed the nonradiological environmental impacts of

power uprate based on information

submitted in the Environmental Report,

Operating License Stage, the NRC Final

Environmental Statement (FES), and the

requirements of the Environmental

Protection Plan. Based on this review,

the licensee concluded that the

proposed uprate has no significant effect

on the non-radiological elements of

concern and the plant will be operated

in an environmentally acceptable

manner as established by the FES. In

addition, the licensee states that existing

Federal, State, and local regulatory

permits presently in effect accommodate

power uprate without modification.

The safety-related standby service

water (SSW) at RBS is drawn from the

ultimate heatsink (UHS), (e.g., the SSW

cooling towers), where the maximum

calculated temperature due to the uprate

does not exceed the original maximum

UHS temperature. As a result of power

uprate to 105 percent of current licensed

core power, there will be a slight

increase in the normal heat loads

rejected to the plant service water

system. For normal operation, the

maximum service water heat loads

occur during peak summer months. The

licensee calculates that the maximum

summer discharge temperature for the

service water system will remain below

the current TS limit of 88 °F. EOI

determined that the effects of power

uprate on air and land resources are

negligible. The aesthetics of the physical

plant and plant site, as well as actual

land use, are not changed or increased

by power uprate. An increase in

operational consumption of natural

resources is negligible and below the

levels previously evaluated for two unit

operation. Finally, air quality and noise

levels remain the same as before the

power uprate.

With regard to potential nonradiological impacts, the proposed

action does not change the method of

operation at RBS or the methods of

handling effluents. No changes to land

use would result and the proposed

action does not involve any historic

sites. Therefore, no new or different

types of non-radiological environmental

impacts are expected. Accordingly, the

NRC concludes that there are no

significant non-radiological

environmental impacts associated with

the proposed action.

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 but would

reduce the operational flexibility that

would be afforded by the proposed

change. The environmental impacts of

the proposed action and the alternative

action are not significantly different.

Alternative Use of Resources

This action does not involve the use

of any resources not previously

considered in the FES for RBS.

Agencies and Persons Consulted

In accordance with its stated policy,

on August 15, 2000, the staff consulted

with the Louisiana State official,

Prosanta Chowdhury, regarding the

environmental impact of the proposed

action. The State official had no

comments.

Finding of No Significant Impact

Based upon 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 July 30, 1999, as supplemented by

letters dated April 3, May 9, July 18, and

August 24, 2000, which may be

examined, and/or copied for a fee, at the

NRC’s Public Document Room, located

at One White Flint North, 11555

Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville,

Maryland. Publicly available records

will be accessible electronically from

the ADAMS Public Library component

on the NRC Web site, (the Electronic

Reading Room).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under

section 4041 of the Employee

Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,

as amended, a single-employer pension

plan may terminate voluntarily only if

it satisfies the requirements for either a

standard or a distress termination.

Pursuant to ERISA section 4041(b), for

standard terminations, and section

4041(c), for distress terminations, and

the PBGC’s termination regulation (29

CFR part 4041), a plan administrator

wishing to terminate a plan is required

to submit specified information to the

PBGC in support of the proposed

termination and to provide specified

information regarding the proposed

termination to third parties

(participants, beneficiaries, alternate

payees, and employee organizations). In

the case of a plan with participants or

beneficiaries who cannot be located

when their benefits are to be distributed,

the plan administrator is subject to the

requirements of ERISA section 4050 and

the PBGC’s missing participants

regulation (29 CFR part 4050).

The PBGC estimates that 1,564 plan

administrators will be subject to the

collection of information requirements

in the PBGC’s termination and missing

participants regulations each year, and

that the total annual burden of

complying with these requirements is

2,246 hours and $1,864,600. (Much of

the work associated with terminating a

plan is performed for purposes other

than meeting these requirements.)

Comments on these collection of

information requirements may address

(among other things)—

• Whether the collection of

information is necessary for the proper

performance of the functions of the

PBGC, including whether the

information will have practical utility;

• The accuracy of the PBGC’s

estimate of the burden of the proposed

collection of information, including the

validity of the methodology and

assumptions used;

• Enhancing the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and

• Minimizing the burden of the

collection of information on those who

are to respond, including through the

use of appropriate automated,

electronic, mechanical, or other

technological collection techniques or

other forms of information technology,

e.g., permitting electronic submission of

responses.

SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION

Agency Information Collection

Activities: Proposed Request and

Comment Request

In compliance with Public Law 104–

13, the Paperwork Reduction Act of

1995, SSA is providing notice of its

information collections that require

submission to the Office of Management

and Budget (OMB). SSA is soliciting

comments on the accuracy of the

agency’s burden estimate; the need for

the information; its practical utility;

ways to enhance its quality, utility and

clarity; and on ways to minimize burden

on respondents, including the use of

automated collection techniques or

other forms of information technology.

I. The information collections listed

below will be submitted to OMB within

60 days from the date of this notice.

Therefore, comments and

recommendations regarding the

information collections would be most

useful if received by the Agency within

60 days from the date of this

publication. Comments should be

directed to the SSA Reports Clearance

Officer at the address listed at the end

of this publication. You can obtain a

copy of the collection instruments by

calling the SSA Reports Clearance

Officer on (410) 965–4145, or by writing

to him at the address listed at the end

of this publication.

1. National Teacher Questionnaire

(SSA–5665–BK), and Information About

the Working Age Child (SSA–5665–

SUPP)–0960–New. The information

collected on forms SSA–5665–BK and

SSA–5665–Sup is used by the Social

Security Administration (SSA) and the

State Disability Determination Services

(DDS) to obtain descriptions of children

claiming SSI benefits based on disability

and their ability to function on a daily

basis. The forms will be used for initial

determinations of eligibility, in appeals

and in initial continuing disability

reviews.

These forms are being developed

because the forms currently used by the

DDSs vary a great deal in format and

content. It was decided that for the sake

of a uniform national childhood

program (and with this information in

hand and the sensitivity of this

population), there is a need for a

National Teacher Questionnaire and

Information About the Working Age

Child. The respondents are the

educational Community and small

businesses that educate and/or employ

applicants for Supplemental Security

Income for the aged, blind, and

Disabled.
