Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 101 /Wednesday, May 27, 1998 / Notices 29041

Alternatives to the Proposed Action

Since the Commission has concluded

there is no significant environmental

impact associated with the proposed

amendments, any alternatives with

equal or greater environmental impact

need not be evaluated. The principal

alternative to this action would be to

deny the request for the amendment.

Such action would not reduce the

environmental impacts of plant

operations.

Alternative Use of Resources

This action did not involve the use of

any resources not previously considered

in the Final Environmental Statement

related to the operation of the BSEP 1

& 2 Electric Generating Plants.

Agencies and Persons Consulted

In accordance with its stated policy,

on May 22, 1998, the staff consulted

with the North Carolina State official,

Mr. M. Fry, of the North Carolina

Department of Environment and Natural

Resources, Division of Radiation

Protection. 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 amendment.

action, see the licensee’s letter dated

November 1, 1996, as supplemented on

Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory

Committee; Open Committee Meeting

According to the provisions of section

10 of the Federal Advisory Committee

Act (Pub. L. 92–463), notice is hereby

given that a meeting of the Federal

Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee

will be held on Thursday, June 11, 1998.

The meeting will start at 10:00 a.m.

and will be held in Room 5A06A, Office

of Personnel Management Building,

1900 E Street, NW., Washington, DC.

The Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory

Committee is composed of a Chair, five

representatives from labor unions

holding exclusive bargaining rights for

Federal blue-collar employees, and five

representatives from Federal agencies.

Entitlement to membership on the

Committee is provided for in 5 U.S.C.

5347.

The Committee’s primary

responsibility is to review the Prevailing

Rate System and other matters pertinent

to establishing prevailing rates under

subchapter IV, chapter 53, 5 U.S.C., as

amended, and from time to time advise

the Office of Personnel Management.

This scheduled meeting will start in

open session with both labor and

management representatives attending.

During the meeting either the labor

members or the management members

may caucus separately with the Chair to

devise strategy and formulate positions.

Premature disclosure of the matters

discussed in these caucuses would

unacceptably impair the ability of the

Committee to reach a consensus on the

matters being considered and would

disrupt substantially the disposition of

its business. Therefore, these caucuses

will be closed to the public because of
