Estimates of Annualized Cost to 

Respondents for the Hour Burdens 

The cost to respondents generated by 

the list of potential projects is estimated 

to be $3,205,680 over the three years of 

the clearance. No one year’s cost would 

exceed $3,205,680. In other words, if all 

work were done in one year, costs in 

that one year would be $3,205,680 and 

the costs in each of the other 2 years 

would be zero. As in previous requests 

for generic clearance authority, the total 

cost was estimated by summing all the 

hours that might be used on all projects 

over the three years (76,000) and 

multiplying that figure by the hourly 

wage ($42.18) of the level of employee 

who typically answers NSF 

questionnaires or attends NSF 

workshops. This wage amount is the 

May 2011 national cross-industry 

estimate of the mean hourly wage for a 

financial analyst, or Job Category 13– 

2051, by the Bureau of Statistics. 

http://www.bls.gov/oes/#data. The total 

hours are based on similar NSF projects 

over the past few years. 

There are no capital, startup, 

operation or maintenance costs to the 

respondents. The costs generated by 

future data collections will be described 

in the clearance request for each specific 

data collection. NSF does not anticipate 

any capital, startup, operation, or 

maintenance costs for future surveys.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The NRC is considering a license 

amendment request for Special Nuclear 

Materials License Number SNM–2507 

for the NA ISFSI located in Louisa 

County, Virginia (ADAMS Accession 

No. ML14160A707). The applicant, 

Virginia Electric and Power Company 

(Dominion), is proposing to amend 

Technical Specifications (TS) 4.2.3, 

‘‘Storage Pad,’’ to define the minimum 

center-to-center spacing for 

Transnuclear-32 spent nuclear fuel 

storage casks, with heat loads no greater 

than 27.1 kilowatts (kW), from 16 feet 

(feet) to 14 feet. The NRC staff has 

prepared a final environmental 

assessment (EA) as part of its review of 

this proposed license amendment in 

accordance with the requirements in 

part 51 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR). Based on the final 

EA, the NRC has determined that a 

Finding of No Significant Impact 

(FONSI) is appropriate. The NRC is also 

conducting a safety evaluation of the 

proposed license amendment pursuant 

to 10 CFR part 72, and the results will 

be documented in a separate Safety 

Evaluation Report (SER). If Dominion’s 

request is approved, the NRC will issue 

the license amendment following 

publication of this final EA and FONSI 

and the SER. 

II. Final Environmental Assessment 

Summary 

On August 23, 2011, during an 

earthquake centered in Mineral, 

Virginia, 25 of 27 of the Transnuclear32 casks on NA ISFSI Pad I shifted from 

their original positions. The shifting 

changed the center-to-center spacing of 

the casks from 16 feet to a range of 15 

feet 2.25 inches to 16 feet 11.25 inches. 

Dominion is proposing to amend SNM– 

2507 TS 4.2.3, which would change the 

allowable distance between individual 

casks (center-to-center) from a nominal 

16 feet to a minimum of 14 feet for those 

casks with heat loads no greater than 

27.1 kW. Dominion is requesting this 

license amendment in lieu of moving 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 39 / Friday, February 27, 2015 / Notices 10727 

the 25 casks back to their original, preearthquake positions and spacing. If 

approved, the proposed license 

amendment would allow the casks to 

remain in their current positions. 

The NRC has assessed the potential 

environmental impacts associated with 

the proposed action of amending SNM– 

2507 TS 4.2.3, as well as the no-action 

alternative, and has documented the 

results in the final EA (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML15022A575). The NRC 

staff performed its environmental 

review in accordance with the 

requirements in 10 CFR part 51. In 

conducting the environmental review, 

the NRC considered information in the 

license amendment application; 

information in the responses to the 

NRC’s requests for additional 

information (RAIs); communications 

with Dominion, the Virginia State 

Historic Preservation Office, the 

Virginia Department of Game and 

Inland Fisheries and the Virginia 

Department of Health; information from 

the NRC inspections; and the NRC’s 

independent analysis. 

Approval of Dominion’s proposed 

license amendment would allow the 

casks to remain in place at their current 

post-earthquake positions and spacing, 

and no changes to Dominion’s operation 

and maintenance of the NA ISFSI are 

associated with the proposed action. 

Because the proposed action would 

authorize Dominion to leave the casks 

in their current positions, rather than 

taking action to return the casks to their 

pre-earthquake positions, no significant 

radiological or non-radiological impacts 

are expected to result from approval of 

the license amendment request, and the 

proposed action would not significantly 

contribute to cumulative impacts at the 

NA site. There would be no 

disproportionally high and adverse 

impacts on minority and low-income 

populations. The Virginia State Historic 

Preservation Office concurred with the 

NRC’s determination that the proposed 

action would not affect historic 

properties, and the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service concurred with the 

NRC’s determination that the proposed 

action would not affect listed species or 

critical habitats. Furthermore, the NRC 

determined that the proposed action is 

more favorable than the no-action 

alternative (denial of the license 

amendment request), which would 

require movement of the casks back to 

their pre-earthquake positions and 

spacing. Thus, the NRC concludes that 

the proposed action will not result in a 

significant effect on the quality of the 

human environment. 

III. Finding of No Significant Impact 

Based on its review of the proposed 

action, in accordance with the 

requirements in 10 CFR part 51, the 

NRC has concluded that the proposed 

action, amendment of NRC Special 

Nuclear Materials License No. SNM– 

2507 for the NA ISFSI located in Louisa 

County, Virginia, will not significantly 

affect the quality of the human 

environment. Therefore, the NRC has 

determined, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.31, 

that preparation of an environmental 

impact statement is not required for the 

proposed action and a FONSI is 

appropriate.
