using sand filters for removal of 

particulate air emissions. 

After weighing the impacts, costs, and 

benefits of the proposed action and 

comparing alternatives (see Chapter 4 of 

the FEIS), the NRC staff, in accordance 

with 10 CFR 51.91(d), sets forth its final 

NEPA recommendation regarding the

environmental values. 

The NRC staff in the Division of Fuel 

Cycle Safety and Safeguards are 

currently completing the safety review 

of DCS’ construction authorization 

request. The final decision is currently 

scheduled for the Spring of 2005.

B. Public Comments and Responses 

Pursuant to the October 29, 2004, 

Federal Register notice, OMB received 

two comment letters relating to the 

proposed information collection 

renewals. One commentor noted the 

‘‘Needs and Uses’’ statements for the 

SF–269 and SF–269A was incorrect. We 

agree, and have corrected those 

statements in this notice. The other 

comment from a State government 

agency related exclusively to the SF–

424 form not being posted in a ‘‘fillenabled and electronically saveable’’

format. We encourage use of the 

electronic application process under 

Grants.gov (http://www.grants.gov) 

where the SF–424 is fill-enabled and 

electronically saveable. The form posted 

on OMB’s website is available in readonly ‘‘pdf’’ format.
