II. Discussion 

The proposed action is for the NRC to 

issue an exemption authorizing the 

early excavation activities prior to the 

submittal of the construction permit 

(CP) application. The NRC issuance of 

the exemption would allow TVA to 

install and leave in place components of 

the initial ground support system for the 

reactor building (RB) excavation, such 

as rock bolts to secure unstable rock 

blocks, wire mesh and non-structural 

sprayed concrete linings to stabilize 

exposed rock walls, horizontal gravity 

drains to manage groundwater, and 

pressurized grout to seal water entry. 

The initial ground support system could 

also include steel soldier beams with 

timber lagging, rock bolts to secure 

soldier beams, and reinforced concrete 

compression rings to support the soldier 

beams. The exemption is needed due to 

the timing of initial ground support 

system installation, which serves no 

function with respect to structural RB 

support or radiological health or safety 

but is needed for construction worker 

safety during RB excavation. If 

excavation for the RB is delayed until 

after the issuance of the CP, the 

construction schedule and commercial 

operation could undergo a delay of 12– 

24 months. TVA anticipates that the 

cost of any delay of the commercial 

operation of Clinch River Nuclear Unit 

1 would be substantial. 

In the EA, the NRC staff assessed the 

potential direct and indirect 

environmental impacts from the 

proposed action associated with the 

following relevant resource areas: land 

use and visual resources, air quality and 

noise, hydrogeology and water 

resources, ecological resources, historic 

and cultural resources, socioeconomics 

and environmental justice, human 

health, and nonradiological waste 

management. The NRC staff determined 

that the environmental impacts of the 

proposed action would be SMALL for 

each potentially affected environmental 

resource, meaning that the 

environmental effects are not detectable 

or are so minor that they will neither 

destabilize nor noticeably alter any 

important attribute of the resource. 

The NRC staff identified alternatives 

to the proposed action and the 

environmental impacts of the 

alternatives, as appropriate. The NRC 

staff determined that there are no 

alternatives that meet the need for the 

proposed action and that are 

environmentally preferrable to the 

proposed action. 

III. Finding of No Significant Impact 

The proposed action before the NRC 

is whether to issue the exemption 

request authorizing early excavation at 

the CRN Site. As required by 10 CFR 

51.21, the NRC prepared the EA. This 

FONSI incorporates by reference the EA 

summarized in Section II of this notice. 

Based on the NRC staff’s determination 

in the EA that the environmental 

impacts would be SMALL for each 

potentially affected resource area, the 

NRC staff has determined that the 

proposed action will not have a 

significant impact on the quality of the 

human environment. Accordingly, the 

NRC staff has made a determination that 

the preparation of an EIS is not required 

for the proposed action and that a 

FONSI is warranted.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A defined 

benefit pension plan that does not have 

enough money to pay benefits may be 

terminated if the employer responsible 

for the plan faces severe financial 

difficulty, such as bankruptcy, and is 

unable to maintain the plan. In such an 

event, PBGC becomes trustee of the plan 

and pays benefits, subject to legal limits, 

to plan participants and beneficiaries. 

The benefits of a pension plan 

participant generally may not be 

assigned or alienated. Title I of ERISA 

provides an exception for domestic 

relations orders (DRO) that relate to 

child support, alimony payments, or 

marital property rights of an alternate 

payee (a spouse, former spouse, child, 

or other dependent of a plan 

participant). The exception applies only 

if the DRO meets specific legal 

requirements that make it a qualified 

domestic relations order (QDRO). 

When PBGC is trustee of a plan, it 

reviews submitted domestic relations 

orders to determine whether the order is 

qualified before paying benefits to an 

alternate payee. The requirements for 

submitting a domestic relations order 

and the contents of such orders are 

established by statute. The models and 

the guidance provided by PBGC assist 

parties by making it easier for them to

comply with ERISA’s QDRO 

requirements in plans trusteed by PBGC; 

they do not create any additional 

requirements and result in a reduction 

of the statutory burden. 

The existing collection of information 

was approved under OMB control 

number 1212–0054, expiring on January 

31, 2025. On August 8, 2024, PBGC 

published in the Federal Register (at 89 

FR 64965), a notice informing the public 

of its intent to request an extension of 

this collection of information, as 

modified. PBGC is adding one term and 

is clarifying other terms in the Glossary 

and is making other clarifying changes 

to the QDRO booklet. No comments 

were received. PBGC is requesting that 

OMB extend approval of the collection 

with modifications for 3 years. An 

agency may not conduct or sponsor, and 

a person is not required to respond to, 

a collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

PBGC estimates that it will receive 

approximately 253 domestic relations 

orders each year from prospective 

alternate payees and participants. PBGC 

further estimates that the total average 

annual burden of this collection of 

information will be approximately 190 

hours and $177,100.
