the BLM to release your name and 

address in response to a FOIA request, 

you must state this prominently at the 

beginning of your comment. The BLM

allowed by law. The BLM will release 

all submissions from organizations or 

businesses, and from individuals

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

Advisory Committee on Nuclear 

Waste; Procedures for Meetings 

Background 

This notice describes procedures to be 

followed with respect to meetings 

conducted pursuant to the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act by the Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission’s (NRC’s) 

Advisory Committee on Nuclear Waste 

(ACNW). These procedures are set forth 

so that they may be incorporated by 

reference in future notices for 

individual meetings. 

The ACNW advises the NRC on 

technical issues related to nuclear 

materials and waste management. The 

bases of ACNW reviews include 10 CFR 

parts 20, 60, 61, 63, 70, 71, and 72 and 

other applicable regulations and 

legislative mandates, such as the 

Nuclear Waste Policy Act as amended, 

the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy 

Act as amended, and the Uranium Mill 

Tailings Radiation Control Act, as 

amended. The Committee’s reports 

become a part of the public record. 

The ACNW meetings are normally 

open to the public and provide 

opportunities for oral or written 

statements from members of the public 

to be considered as part of the 

Committee’s information gathering 

process. The meetings are not 

adjudicatory hearings such as those 

conducted by the NRC’s Atomic Safety 

and Licensing Board Panel as part of the 

Commission’s licensing process. ACNW 

meetings are conducted in accordance 

with the Federal Advisory Committee 

Act. 

General Rules Regarding ACNW 

Meetings 

An agenda is published in the Federal 

Register for each full Committee 

meeting and is available on the Internet 

at http://www.nrc.gov/ACRSACNW. 

There may be a need to make changes 

to the agenda to facilitate the conduct of 

the meeting. The Chairman of the 

Committee is empowered to conduct the 

meeting in a manner that, in his 

judgment, will facilitate the orderly 

conduct of business, including making 

provisions to continue the discussion of 

matters not completed on the scheduled 

day during another meeting. Persons 

planning to attend a meeting may 

contact the Designated Federal Official 

(DFO) specified in the individual 

Federal Register Notice prior to the 

meeting to be advised of any changes to 

the agenda that may have occurred. 

The following requirements shall 

apply to public participation in ACNW 

meetings: 

(a) Persons who plan to make oral 

statements and/or submit written 

comments at the meeting should 

provide 50 copies to the DFO at the 

beginning of the meeting. Persons who 

cannot attend the meeting but wishing 

to submit written comments regarding 

the agenda items may do so by sending 

a readily reproducible copy addressed 

to the DFO specified in the Federal 

Register Notice for the individual 

meeting in care of the Advisory 

Committee on Nuclear Waste, U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 

Washington, DC 20555–0001. 

Comments should be in the possession 

of the DFO prior to the meeting to allow 

time for reproduction and distribution. 

Comments should be limited to topics 

being considered by the Committee. 

(b) Persons desiring to make oral 

statements at the meeting should make 

a request to do so to the DFO. If 

possible, the request should be made 

five days before the meeting, identifying 

the topics to be discussed and the 

amount of time needed for presentation 

so that orderly arrangements can be 

made. The Committee will hear oral 

statements on topics being reviewed at 

an appropriate time during the meeting 

as scheduled by the Chairman. 

(c) Information regarding topics to be 

discussed, changes to the agenda, 

whether the meeting has been canceled 

or rescheduled, and the time allotted to 

present oral statements can be obtained 

by contacting the DFO specified in the 

individual Federal Register Notice. 

(d) The use of still, motion picture, 

and television cameras will be 

permitted at the discretion of the 

Chairman and subject to the condition 

that the physical installation and 

presence of such equipment will not 

interfere with the conduct of the 

meeting. The DFO will have to be 

notified prior to the meeting and will 

authorize the installation or use of such 

equipment after consultation with the 

Chairman. The use of such equipment 

will be restricted as is necessary to 

protect proprietary or privileged 

information that may be present in the 

meeting room. Electronic recordings 

will be permitted only during those 

portions of the meeting that are open to 

the public. 

(e) A transcript is kept for certain 

open portions of the meeting and will be 

59082 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 195 / Tuesday, October 11, 2005 / Notices 

available in the NRC Public Document 

Room (PDR), One White Flint North, 

Room O–1F21, 11555 Rockville Pike, 

Rockville, MD 20852–2738. ACNW 

meeting agenda, transcripts, and letter 

reports are available through the NRC

7:30 a.m. and 3:45 p.m. Eastern Time at 

least 10 days before the meeting to 

ensure the availability of this service. 

Individuals or organizations requesting 

this service will be responsible for 

telephone line charges and for providing 

the equipment and facilities that they 

use to establish the video 

teleconferencing link. The availability of 

video teleconferencing services is not 

guaranteed. 

(g) The meeting room is handicapped 

accessible. 

ACNW Working Group Meetings 

From time to time the ACNW may 

sponsor an in-depth meeting on a 

specific technical issue to understand 

staff expectations and review work in 

progress. Such meetings are called 

Working Group meetings. These 

Working Group meetings will also be 

conducted in accordance with these 

procedures noted above for the ACNW 

meeting, as appropriate. When Working 

Group meetings are held at locations 

other than at NRC facilities, 

reproduction facilities may not be 

available at a reasonable cost. 

Accordingly, 50 additional copies of the 

materials to be used during the meeting 

should be provided for distribution at 

such meetings. 

Special Provisions When Proprietary 

Sessions Are To Be Held 

If it is necessary to hold closed 

sessions for the purpose of discussing 

matters involving proprietary 

information, persons with agreements 

permitting access to such information 

may attend those portions of the ACNW 

meetings where this material is being 

discussed upon confirmation that such 

agreements are effective and related to 

the material being discussed. 

The DFO should be informed of such 

an agreement at least five working days 

prior to the meeting so that it can be 

confirmed, and a determination can be 

made regarding the applicability of the 

agreement to the material that will be 

discussed during the meeting. The 

minimum information provided should 

include information regarding the date 

of the agreement, the scope of material 

included in the agreement, the project 

or projects involved, and the names and 

titles of the persons signing the 

agreement. Additional information may 

be requested to identify the specific 

agreement involved. A copy of the 

executed agreement should be provided 

to the DFO prior to the beginning of the 

meeting for admittance to the closed 

session.

BILLING CODE 7590–01–P 

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 

6, 2005, to September 29, 2005. The last 

biweekly notice was published on 

September 27, 2005 (70 FR 56499). 

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.
