10. Abstract: The Nuclear Regulatory

Commission is proposing to amend its

regulations in Parts 70, 72, and 74 that

establish the requirements for material

control and accounting of special

nuclear material applicable to licensees

who possess and use special nuclear

material. The reporting requirements for

submitting material balance reports

(DOE/NRC Form 742) and inventory

composition reports (DOE/NRC Form

742C) are being revised to reduce the

frequency and change the timing of the

reports. The general MC&A

requirements and the requirements for

Category II facilities are being relocated

from Part 70 to Part 74. The MC&A

requirements for Category II facilities

are also being revised to be more riskinformed. The information in the

reports and records is used by the NRC

staff to ensure that public health and

safety of the public is protected and that

licensee possession and use of special

nuclear material is in compliance with

license and regulatory requirements.

The information collection requirements

imposed on the licensee are those

deemed necessary for the timely

discovery of inadvertent losses of

special nuclear material to the

environment or the theft or diversion of

special nuclear material by potentially

hostile groups. Certain of the

requirements are necessary to satisfy

obligations of the United States under

its agreements with the International

Atomic Energy Agency.

Submit, by June 25, 2001, comments

that address the following questions:

1. Is the proposed collection of

information necessary for the NRC to

properly perform its functions? Does the

information have practical utility?

2. Is the burden estimate accurate?

3. Is there a way to enhance the

quality, utility, and clarity of the

information to be collected?

4. How can the burden of the

information collection be minimized,

including the use of automated

collection techniques or other forms of

information technology?

A copy of the submittal may be viewed

free of charge at the NRC Public

Document Room, One White Flint

North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Room O–

1 F23, Rockville, MD 20852. The

proposed rule indicated in ‘‘Proposed

Rule, 10 CFR Parts 51, 61, 70, 72, 73, 74,

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory

ACTION: Notice of consideration of

license amendment requests for the

Babcock and Wilcox Facility and

Shallow Land Disposal Area in Parks

Opportunity for a Hearing.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC) is considering

issuance of a license amendment to

Special Nuclear Material License No.

SNM–2001 (SNM–2001) (the license),

issued to Babcock and Wilcox

Company, Pennsylvania Nuclear Service

Operation, to authorize amending

condition 14, ‘‘Schedule for

Decommissioning Site’’, of its SNM–

2001 License at its Shallow Land

Disposal Area (SLDA) facility in Parks

Township, Pennsylvania.

SLDA site is on the NRC’s Site

Decommissioning Management Plan

and the site is being assessed by the U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for

possible remediation under the

Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial

Action Program (FUSRAP). SLDA has

been designated as a FUSRAP site.

USACE is responsible for administration

and execution of FUSRAP.

The licensee has requested an

Alternate Schedule for

Decommissioning Plan (DP) submittal

due to issues arising from USACE

involvement at the SLDA site. The

licensee’s current DP submittal schedule

for SLDA is in accordance with the

conditions discussed in SNM–414

License.

On May 8, 2001, the licensee

submitted a license amendment request

proposing that the licensee will submit

a site DP six months after the issuance

of the Final USACE Preliminary

28936 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 102 / Friday, May 25, 2001 / Notices

Assessment (PA) if the PA determines

that no further action under

Comprehensive, Environmental

Response, and Liability, Act of 1980, as

amended (CERCLA) and FUSRAP is

recommended for SLDA. Alternatively,

licensee will submit a request for

license suspension within sixty days of

the USACE’s Record of Decision to

remediate the SLDA under CERCLA if

the PA determines that the SLDA is

recommended for further action under

CERCLA and FUSRAP.

The NRC hereby provides notice that

this is a proceeding on request for

amendment of a license falling within

the scope of Subpart L ‘‘Informal

Materials Licensing Proceedings’’, of

NRC’s rules and practice for domestic

licensing proceedings in 10 CFR Part 2.

a hearing filed by a person other than

an applicant must describe in detail:
