20490 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 78 / Monday, April 23, 2001 / Notices

file its latest update to the BVPS–2

FSAR by April 25, 2001.

The need for the proposed action is

based on taking advantage of the

efficiencies of the NRC’s recently

commenced electronic information

exchange (EIE) process which allows

licensee’s to voluntarily submit

documents to the NRC over the internet

or on a CD–ROM. The NRC issued

Regulatory Issue Summary 2001–05,

‘‘Guidance on Submitting Documents to

the NRC by Electronic Information

Exchange or on CD–ROM,’’ on January

25, 2001 (ADAMS Accession No.

ML003768343). The proposed action is

requested due to the extensive nature of

the planned FSAR revision (expected to

exceed 1000 pages). Use of licensee and

NRC resources to update the numerous

hardcopies of the FSAR can be

substantially reduced by providing an

electronic version of the revised FSAR

in its entirety. An additional 120 days

from the currently required filing date

reflects the licensee’s estimated time

required for production of an electronic

version in lieu of the hardcopies.

Environmental Impacts of the Proposed

Action

The NRC has completed its evaluation

of the proposed action and concludes

that the proposed action is

administrative in nature and is

unrelated to plant operations.

The proposed action will not

significantly increase the probability or

consequences of accidents, no changes

are being made in the types of any

effluents that may be released off site,

and there is no significant increase in

occupational or public radiation

exposure. Therefore, there are no

significant radiological environmental

impacts associated with the proposed

action.

With regard to potential

nonradiological impacts, the proposed

action does not involve any historic

sites. It does not affect nonradiological

plant effluents and has no other

environmental impact. Therefore, there

are no significant nonradiological

environmental impacts associated with

the proposed action.

Accordingly, the NRC concludes that

there are no significant 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. 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 for BVPS–2, dated September

30, 1985 (Nuclear Documents System

(NUDOCS) Accession No. 8509300559).

Agencies and Persons Consulted

In accordance with its stated policy,

on March 23, 2001, the NRC staff

consulted with the Pennsylvania State

official, Mr. L. Ryan, of the

Pennsylvania Department of

Environmental Protection Bureau,

Division of Nuclear Safety, regarding the

environmental impact of the proposed

action. The State official had no

comments.

Finding of No Significant Impact

On the basis of 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 March 13, 2001. Documents 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, http://

www.nrc.gov (the Electronic Reading

Room).

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 17th day

of April 2001.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Project Manager, Section 1, Project

Directorate I, Division of Licensing Project

Management, Office of Nuclear Reactor
