14706 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 59 / Thursday, March 27, 1997 / Notices

increase radiation doses will not result

from granting this exemption. No

changes are being made in the types or

amounts of any radiological effluents

that may be released offsite. There is no

significant increase in the allowable

individual or cumulative occupational

radiation exposure. Accordingly, the

Commission concludes that there are no

significant radiological environmental

impacts associated with the proposed

action.

With regard to potential

nonradiological impacts, the proposed

exemption involves systems located

within the restricted area as defined in

10 CFR Part 20. It does not affect

nonradiological plant effluents and has

no other environmental impact.

Accordingly, the Commission concludes

that there are no significant

nonradiological environmental impacts

associated with the proposed action.

Alternatives to the Proposed Action

Since the Commission has concluded

that there is no measurable

environmental impact associated with

the proposed action, any alternatives

with equal or greater environmental

impact need not be evaluated. The

principal alternative would be to deny

the requested exemption. The

environmental impacts of the proposed

action and the alternative action are

similar.

Alternative Use of Resources

This action does not involve the use

of any resources not previously

considered in the Final Environmental

Statement related to the operation of

Indian Point Unit 3 dated December

1975.

Agencies and Persons Consulted

In accordance with its stated policy,

on March 12, 1997, the staff consulted

with the New York State Official, Mr.

Jack Spath of the New York State Energy

Research and Development Authority,

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 Commission concludes

that the proposed action will not have

a significant effect on the quality of the

human environment. Accordingly, the

Commission 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 December 20, 1996, as

supplemented March 5, 1997, and

March 19, 1997, which are available for

public inspection at the Commission’s

Westinghouse Electric Corporation;

Issuance of Director’s Decision Under

10 CFR 2.206

Notice is hereby given that the

Director, Office of Enforcement, has

issued a Director’s Decision concerning

a Petition dated May 30, 1996, filed by

Mr. Shannon Doyle against

Westinghouse Electric Corporation

(Westinghouse) pursuant to § 2.206 of

Title 10 of the Code of Federal

Regulations (10 CFR 2.206). The petition

requested that the NRC institute a show

cause proceeding pursuant to 10 CFR

2.202 and/or impose a civil penalty

upon Westinghouse. The petition was

based on Westinghouse’s failure to

correct the record and, through its

counsel, provision of material false

statements to a Department of Labor

(DOL) Administrative Law Judge in a

case arising under the Energy

Reorganization Act, 89–ERA–022.

The Director, Office of Enforcement,

has determined that the Petition should

be denied for the reasons stated in the

‘‘Director’s Decision Under 10 CFR

2.206’’ (i.e., DD–97–07). In sum, the

Petition raises matters which fall within

the jurisdiction and authority of the

DOL, rather than the NRC. Accordingly,

this matter is being referred to the DOL.

In reaching this decision, the Director

considered the available documents,

including the Petitioner’s submittals

dated May 30 and October 8, 1996, and

Westinghouse’s submittal dated

November 8, 1996. The decision and the

documents cited in the decision are

available for public inspection and

copying in the Commission’s Public

Document Room, the Gelman Building,

2120 L Street NW, Washington, DC.

A copy of this decision has been filed

with the Secretary of the Commission

for the Commission’s review in

accordance with 10 CFR 2.206(c). As

provided therein, this decision will

become final action of the Commission

25 days after issuance unless the

Commission, on its own motion,

institutes a review of the Decision

within that time.

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 20th day

of March 1997.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
