10. Abstract: With NRC Forms 366,

366A, and 366B, the NRC collects

reports of the types of reactor events and

problems that are believed to be

significant and useful to the NRC in its

efforts to identify and resolve threats to

public safety. They are designed to

provide the information necessary for

engineering studies of operational

anomalies and trends and patters

analysis of operational occurrences. The

same information can be used for other

analytic procedures that will aid in

identifying accident precursors.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50–313]

Entergy Operations, Inc., Arkansas

Nuclear One, Unit 1, Notice of

Availability of the Final Supplement 3

to the Generic Environmental Impact

Statement Regarding the License

Renewal of Arkansas Nuclear One,

Unit 1

Notice is hereby given that the U. S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the

Commission) has published a final

plant-specific Supplement 3 to the

Generic Environmental Impact

Statement (GEIS), NUREG–1437,

regarding the renewal of operating

license DPR–51 for an additional 20

years of operation at Arkansas Nuclear

One, Unit 1 (ANO–1). ANO–1 is located

in Pope County, Arkansas. Possible

alternatives to the proposed action

(license renewal) include no action and

reasonable alternative energy sources.

In Section 9.3 of the report, the staff

concludes:

The staff recommends that the Commission

determine that the adverse environmental

impacts of license renewal for ANO–1 are not

so great that preserving the option of license

renewal for energy planning decisionmakers

would be unreasonable. This

recommendation is based on (1) the analysis

and findings in the Generic Environmental

Impact Statement for License Renewal of

Nuclear Power Plants, NUREG–1437; (2) the

Entergy ER [Environmental Report]; (3)

consultation with other Federal, State, and

local agencies; (4) the staff’s own

independent review; and (5) the staff’s

consideration of public comments.

The final Supplement 3 to the GEIS is

available electronically for public

inspection in the NRC Public Document

Room located at One White Flint North,

11555 Rockville Pike (first floor),

Rockville, Maryland, or from the

Publicly Available Records (PARS)

component of NRC’s document system

(ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from

the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/

NRC/ADAMS/index.html (the Public

Electronic Reading Room).

BILLING CODE 7590–01–P

NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

Meeting Concerning the Revision of

the Oversight Program for Nuclear

Fuel Cycle Facilities

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of public meeting.

SUMMARY: NRC will hold a public

meeting at the Information Age Park

Resource Center at 2000 McCracken

Boulevard, Paducah, Kentucky, to

provide the local public, facility

employees, citizens’ groups, and local

officials with information about, and an

opportunity to provide views on, how

the NRC plans to revise and improve its

oversight program for nuclear fuel cycle

facilities. The oversight program applies

to commercial nuclear fuel cycle

facilities regulated under 10 CFR parts

40, 70, and 76. The facilities currently

include gaseous diffusion plants, highly

enriched uranium fuel fabrication

facilities (one of which is NFS), lowenriched uranium fuel fabrication

facilities, and a uranium hexafluoride

(UF6) production facility. These

facilities possess large quantities of

materials that are potentially hazardous

(i.e., radioactive, toxic, and/or

flammable) to the workers, public, and

environment. Also, some of the facilities

possess information and material

important to national security. In this

area, the NRC regulates both the

Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant

operated by the United States

Enrichment Corporation, and the

Honeywell Specialty Chemicals

uranium conversion facility in

Metropolis, Illinois.

The goal of this revision project is to

have an oversight program that: (1)

provides earlier and more objective

indications of facility performance in

the areas of safety and national security,

(2) increases stakeholder confidence in

the NRC, and (3) increases regulatory

effectiveness, efficiency, and realism. To

this end, the NRC is striving to make the

oversight program more risk-informed

and performance-based. The oversight

revision project is described in SECY–

Revision of the Nuclear Fuel Cycle

Facility Oversight Program Nuclear Fuel
