56498 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 186 / Tuesday, September 27, 2005 / Notices 

(EA) in support of this action in 

accordance with the requirements of 10 

CFR Part 51. The renewed license 

would also grant SLC exemptions from 

the financial assurance requirements for 

decommissioning contained in 10 CFR 

30.32 and 30.35. Based on the EA, the 

NRC has concluded that a Finding of No 

Significant Impact (FONSI) is 

appropriate. 

II. EA Summary 

The purpose of the proposed action is 

to renew NRC Materials License No. 37–

00030–02 for characterization and other 

decommissioning activities through 

December 2007, and pursuant to 10 CFR 

30.11, grant SLC exemptions from the 

financial assurance requirements for 

decommissioning contained in 10 CFR 

30.32 and 30.35. The renewed license 

will require that the SLC submit work 

plans and health and safety plans to the 

NRC for approval prior to beginning 

other decommissioning activities at the 

Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania facility. The 

renewed license will also require that 

SLC develop a plan for the orderly 

shutdown of licensed activities and 

make prescribed monthly deposits into 

the decommissioning trust fund during 

the license renewal period in 

accordance with the Settlement 

Agreement between NRC, SLC and 

Pennsylvania Department of 

Environmental Protection, as approved 

by the Atomic Safety and Licensing 

Board on June 29, 2005. 

The NRC staff has prepared an EA in 

support of the license amendment. The 

licensee does not have sufficient 

financial assurance to complete 

remediation activities. The issuance of 

this amendment covers existing material 

already present on the site from past 

operations and does not authorize an 

increase in the amount of material 

authorized by the license. No changes 

are being made to the type or amount of 

effluents that may be released from the 

site, and no significant increase in 

public radiation exposure is expected. 

By renewing the license, NRC can also 

require the completion of certain actions 

to provide for an orderly cessation of 

licensed activities, and require SLC to 

cooperate with the Environmental 

Protection Agency in its evaluation and 

conduct of future remediation activities. 

The actions to be taken by the licensee 

are also in the public interest, and the 

exemption of specific financial 

assurance requirements until December 

31, 2007 will not endanger life or 

property or common defense and 

security. 

Therefore, the NRC staff concluded 

that the action to renew License No. 37–

00030–02 and grant SLC exemptions 

from the financial assurance 

requirements for decommissioning 

complies with 10 CFR Part 20 and 10 

CFR 30.11. 

III. Finding of No Significant Impact 

The staff has prepared the EA 

(summarized above) in support of the 

license amendment to renew the license 

and grant the exemptions. On the basis 

of the EA, the NRC has concluded that 

the environmental impacts from the 

action are expected to be insignificant 

and has determined not to prepare an 

environmental impact statement for the 

action. Accordingly, a FONSI is 

appropriate.

BILLING CODE 7590–01–M 

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

Biweekly Notice; Applications and 

Amendments to Facility Operating 

Licenses 

Involving No Significant Hazards 

Considerations 

I. Background 

Pursuant to section 189a. (2) of the 

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended 

(the Act), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (the Commission or NRC 

staff) is publishing this regular biweekly 

notice. The Act requires the 

Commission publish notice of any 

amendments issued, or proposed to be 

issued and grants the Commission the 

authority to issue and make 

immediately effective any amendment 

to an operating license upon a 

determination by the Commission that 

such amendment involves no significant 

hazards consideration, notwithstanding 

the pendency before the Commission of 

a request for a hearing from any person. 

This biweekly notice includes all 

notices of amendments issued, or 

proposed to be issued from September 

1, 2005, to September 15, 2005. The last 

biweekly notice was published on 

September 13, 2005 (70 FR 54085). 

Notice of Consideration of Issuance of 

Amendments to Facility Operating 

Licenses, Proposed No Significant 

Hazards Consideration Determination, 

and Opportunity for a Hearing 

The Commission has made a 

proposed determination that the 

following amendment requests involve 

no significant hazards consideration. 

Under the Commission’s regulations in 

10 CFR 50.92, this means that operation 

of the facility in accordance with the 

proposed amendment would not (1) 

involve a significant increase in the 

probability or consequences of an 

accident previously evaluated; or (2) 

create the possibility of a new or 

different kind of accident from any 

accident previously evaluated; or (3) 

involve a significant reduction in a 

margin of safety. The basis for this 

proposed determination for each 

amendment request is shown below. 

The Commission is seeking public 

comments on this proposed 

determination. Any comments received 

within 30 days after the date of 

publication of this notice will be 

considered in making any final 

determination. Within 60 days after the 

date of publication of this notice, the 

licensee may file a request for a hearing 

with respect to issuance of the 

amendment to the subject facility 

operating license and any person whose 

interest may be affected by this 

proceeding and who wishes to 

participate as a party in the proceeding 

must file a written request for a hearing 

and a petition for leave to intervene. 

Normally, the Commission will not 

issue the amendment until the 

expiration of 60 days after the date of 

publication of this notice. The 

Commission may issue the license 

amendment before expiration of the 60- 

day period provided that its final 

determination is that the amendment 

involves no significant hazards 

consideration. In addition, the 

Commission may issue the amendment 

prior to the expiration of the 30-day 

comment period should circumstances 

change during the 30-day comment 

period such that failure to act in a 

timely way would result, for example in 

derating or shutdown of the facility. 

Should the Commission take action 

prior to the expiration of either the 

comment period or the notice period, it 

will publish in the Federal Register a 

notice of issuance. Should the 

Commission make a final No Significant 

Hazards Consideration Determination, 

any hearing will take place after 

issuance. The Commission expects that 

the need to take this action will occur 

very infrequently. 

Written comments may be submitted 

by mail to the Chief, Rules and 

Directives Branch, Division of 

Administrative Services, Office of 

Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission, Washington, DC 20555–

0001, and should cite the publication 

date and page number of this Federal 

Register notice. Written comments may 

also be delivered to Room 6D22, Two 

White Flint North, 11545 Rockville 

Pike, Rockville, Maryland, from 7:30 

a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Federal workdays. 

Copies of written comments received 

may be examined at the Commission’s 

Public Document Room (PDR), located 

at One White Flint North, Public File 

Area 01F21, 11555 Rockville Pike (first 

floor), Rockville, Maryland. The filing of 

requests for a hearing and petitions for 

leave to intervene is discussed below. 

Within 60 days after the date of 

publication of this notice, the licensee 

may file a request for a hearing with 

respect to issuance of the amendment to 

the subject facility operating license and 

any person whose interest may be 

affected by this proceeding and who 

wishes to participate as a party in the 

proceeding must file a written request 

for a hearing and a petition for leave to 

intervene. Requests for a hearing and a 

petition for leave to intervene shall be 

filed in accordance with the 

Commission’s ‘‘Rules of Practice for 

Domestic Licensing Proceedings’’ in 10 

CFR part 2. Interested persons should 

consult a current copy of 10 CFR 2.309, 

which is available at the Commission’s 

PDR, located at One White Flint North, 

Public File Area 01F21, 11555 Rockville 

Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland. 

Publicly available records will be 

accessible from the Agencywide 

Documents Access and Management 

System’s (ADAMS) Public Electronic 

Reading Room on the Internet at the 

NRC Web site, http://www.nrc.gov/ 

reading-rm/doc-collections/cfr/. If a 

request for a hearing or petition for 

leave to intervene is filed within 60 

days, the Commission or a presiding 

officer designated by the Commission or 

by the Chief Administrative Judge of the 

Atomic Safety and Licensing Board 

Panel, will rule on the request and/or 

petition; and the Secretary or the Chief 

Administrative Judge of the Atomic 

Safety and Licensing Board will issue a 

notice of a hearing or an appropriate 

order. 

As required by 10 CFR 2.309, a 

petition for leave to intervene shall set 

forth with particularity the interest of 

the petitioner in the proceeding, and 

how that interest may be affected by the 

results of the proceeding. The petition 

should specifically explain the reasons 

why intervention should be permitted 

with particular reference to the 

following general requirements: (1) the 

name, address, and telephone number of 

the requestor or petitioner; (2) the 

nature of the requestor’s/petitioner’s 

right under the Act to be made a party 

to the proceeding; (3) the nature and 

extent of the requestor’s/petitioner’s
