NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50–333]

Entergy Nuclear Fitzpatrick, LLC, and

Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc.;

James A. Fitzpatrick Nuclear Power

Plant Environmental Assessment and

Finding of No Significant Impact

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC) is considering

issuance of an exemption from certain

requirements of Section III.G.2.c of

Appendix R to 10 CFR Part 50 to

Entergy Nuclear FitzPatrick, LLC, and

Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (the

licensee), in connection with Facility

Operating License No. DPR–59 for

operation of the James A. FitzPatrick

Nuclear Power Plant located in Oswego

County, New York.

Environmental Assessment

Identification of the Proposed Action

The proposed action would provide

an exemption from the technical

requirements of Section III.G.2.c of

Appendix R to 10 CFR Part 50 to the

extent that it requires the enclosure of

cables of one redundant train of safe

shutdown equipment in a 1-hour fire

rated barrier, in fire area Control Tunnel

1 (CT–1).

The proposed action is in accordance

with the application for exemption

dated October 30, 2000, filed by the

former licensee, the Power Authority of

the State of New York (PASNY), as

supplemented by the Entergy Nuclear

Operations, Inc. letter dated February 7,

2001. On November 21, 2000, PASNY’s

interests in the license were transferred

to Entergy Nuclear FitzPatrick, LLC,

which is authorized to possess and use

FitzPatrick and to Entergy Nuclear

Operations, Inc., which is authorized to

possess, use and operate FitzPatrick. By

letter dated January 26, 2001, Entergy

Nuclear Operations, Inc. requested that

the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 96 / Thursday, May 17, 2001 / Notices 27541

Commission (NRC) continue to review

and act on all requests before the NRC

which had been submitted by PASNY.

The Need for the Proposed Action

The proposed action is needed to

support continued operation with cable

wrap fire barriers in CT–1 that do not

have a rating of 1 hour.

No Significant Environmental Impacts

of the Proposed Action

The NRC has completed its evaluation

of the proposed action and concludes

that there would be no significant

environmental impact as a result of the

proposed action. While the installed fire

barrier in CT–1 has less than a 1-hour

fire endurance rating, it will provide

some resistance to fire. The area where

the fire barrier is located has no ignition

sources other than cables, has available

manual suppression capability, and is

equipped with automatic fire

suppression and fire detection. Under

these circumstances, there is an

adequate level of fire safety that there is

reasonable assurance that at least one

means of achieving and maintaining

safe shutdown conditions will remain

available during and after any

postulated fire, and, therefore, the

underlying purpose of the rule is met.

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 non-radiological

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 the James A. FitzPatrick

Nuclear Power Plant.

Agencies and Persons Consulted

In accordance with its stated policy,

on March 22, 2001, the staff consulted

with the New York State State official,

Jay Dunkleberger, of the New York State

Research and Development Authority,

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 PASNY’s letter

dated October 30, 2000, as

supplemented by Entergy Nuclear

Operations, Inc.’s letter dated February

7, 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 11th day

of May 2001.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Senior Project Manager, Section 1, Project

Directorate I, Division of Licensing Project

Management, Office of Nuclear Reactor

BILLING CODE 7590–01–P

RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD

Proposed Collection; Comment

Request

SUMMARY: In accordance with the

requirement of section 3506 (c)(2)(A) of

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

which provides opportunity for public

comment on new or revised data

collections, the Railroad Retirement

Board (RRB) will publish periodic

summaries of proposed data collections.

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether

the proposed information collection is

necessary for the proper performance of

the functions of the agency, including

whether the information has practical

utility; (b) the accuracy of the RRB’s

estimate of the burden of the collection

of the information; (c) ways to enhance

the quality, utility, and clarity of the

information to be collected; and (d)

ways to minimize the burden related to

the collection of information on

respondents, including the use of

automated collection techniques or

other forms of information technology.

Title and purpose of information

collection:

Railroad Employers with No

Compensated Employees;

Under 20 CFR 209.2 of the RRB’s

regulations, the RRB may require any

employer or employee to furnish or

submit any information, records,

contracts, documents, reports or other

materials within their possession or

control, that, in the judgement of the

RRB, may have any bearing upon (a) the

employer status of any individual,

person or company (b) the employee or

pensions status of any individual, (c)

the amount and credibility of service

and compensation, and (d) any other

matter arising which involves the

administration of the Railroad

Retirement Act. The RRB proposes to

establish a monitoring program

designed to periodically contact covered

railroad employers who have either

reported no compensated employees for

the last 2 years, or who, after previously

reporting no compensated employees

are no longer reporting. The RRB will

contact the targeted railroad employers

and obtain information as to whether

they had compensated employees in the

past reporting year, if they expect to

have compensated employees in the

current reporting year, and provide

them the opportunity to request that

their status as an employer under the

Railroad Retirement Act and Railroad

Unemployment Insurance Act be

reviewed. For program integrity

purposes, targeted employers who

operate a freight or passenger service

will be asked to provide additional

information as to whether they

conducted any freight or passenger

service during the previous reporting

year, if they expect to conduct any

during the current reporting year, or if

they have ceased all operations. If they

have conducted freight or passenger

service, they will be asked how the

service and compensation was

accounted for. If they have ceased

operations, they will be asked to

provide the Interstate Commerce

Commission/Surface Transportation

Board references to any abandonment

proceedings.
