Pacific Ocean

AGENCY: National Science Foundation.

ACTION: Notice of availability of a 

Finding of No Significant Impact for 

proposed activities in the Southwest 

Pacific Ocean. 

SUMMARY: The National Science 

Foundation gives notice of the 

availability of a Finding of No 

Significant Impact for proposed 

activities in the Southwest Pacific 

Ocean. 

The Division of Ocean Sciences in the 

Directorate for Geoscience (GEO/OCE) 

has prepared an Environmental 

Assessment of a marine geophysical 

survey by the Research Vessel Roger 

Revelle, in the vicinity of Louisville 

Ridge in the Pacific Ocean, January–

February 2006. The proposed action is 

expected to result in substantial benefits 

to NSE-funded research in ocean 

science. The draft Environmental 

Assessment was available for public 

review for a 30-day period.

DATES: Comments on the FONSI must be 

submitted on or before December 9, 

2005.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the Finding of No 

Significant Impact (FONSI) and the 

Environmental Assessment (EA) are 

available upon request from: Dr. 

Alexander Shor, National Science 

Foundation, Division of Ocean Sciences, 

4201 Wilson Blvd., Suite 725, Arlington, 

VA 22230. Telephone: (703) 292–8583. 

Written comments should be submitted 

to this same address, or via email to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Science Foundation prepared a 

draft Environmental Assessment (EA) 

for a marine geophysical survey in the 

Pacific Ocean and solicited public 

comments (Federal Register): July 7, 

2005, Vol. 70, No. 129, Page 39346). The 

National Science Foundation has 

prepared a Finding of No Significant 

Impact (FONSI) based on this EA, in 

accordance with CEQ regulations 

§ 1500–1508 and 45 CFR 640. It was 

determined that the proposed activity 

would not result in a significant impact 

on the quality of the human 

environment within the meaning of the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) of 1969. Therefore, a FONSI was 

issued, and no environmental impact 

statement is required.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

State of Minnesota: NRC Draft Staff 

Assessment of a proposed Agreement 

Between the Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission and the State of 

Minnesota

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission.

ACTION: Notice of a Proposed Agreement 

with the State of Minnesota. 

SUMMARY: By letter dated July 6, 2004, 

Governor Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota 

requested that the U.S. Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission (NRC) enter 

into an Agreement with the State as 

authorized by section 274 of the Atomic 

Energy Act of 1954, as amended (Act). 

Under the proposed Agreement, the 

Commission would discontinue, and 

Minnesota would assume, portions of 

the Commission’s regulatory authority 

exercised within the State. As required 

by the Act, NRC is publishing the 

proposed Agreement for public 

comment. NRC is also publishing the 

summary of a Draft Staff Assessment of 

the Minnesota Program. Comments are 

requested on the proposed Agreement 

and the NRC Draft Staff Assessment 

which finds the Program adequate to 

protect public health and safety and 

compatible with NRC’s program for 

regulation of agreement material. 

The proposed Agreement would 

release (exempt) persons who possess or 

use certain radioactive materials in 

Minnesota from portions of the 

Commission’s regulatory authority. The 

Act requires that NRC publish those 

exemptions. Notice is hereby given that 

the pertinent exemptions have been 

previously published in the Federal 

Register and are codified in the 

Commission’s regulations as 10 CFR 

part 150.

DATES: The comment period expires 

December 9, 2005. Comments received 

after this date will be considered if it is 

practical to do so, but the Commission 

cannot assure consideration of 

comments received after the expiration 

date.

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be 

submitted to Mr. Michael T. Lesar, 

Chief, Rules and Directives Branch, 

Division of Administrative Services, 

Office of Administration, Washington, 

DC 20555–0001. Comments may be 

submitted electronically at 

nrcrep@nrc.gov.
