Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 39 / Wednesday, February 28, 2007 / Notices 9037 

has requested this exemption in order to 

revise the October 1988 exemption to 

include additional combustibles such as 

the 480V Reactor Building Vent Boards 

1B, 2B, and 3B; small panels in Units 1, 

2 and 3; and the one hour fire rated fire 

wrap (Thermo-lag) material for the 20- 

foot separation zones identified. 

Environmental Impacts of the Proposed 

Action 

The proposed action will not 

significantly increase the probability or 

consequences of accidents. The NRC 

staff has completed its evaluation of the 

proposed exemption and associated 

amendment and finds that the 

calculated total doses remain within the 

acceptance criteria of 10 CFR 50.67 and 

General Design Criterion 19, and there 

is no significant increase in 

occupational or public radiation 

exposure. The NRC staff, thus, 

concludes that granting the proposed 

exemption would result in no 

significant radiological environmental 

impact. 

The proposed action does not affect 

nonradiological plant effluents or 

historical sites, and has no other 

environmental impact. Therefore, there 

are no significant nonradiological 

impacts associated with the proposed 

exemption. 

Accordingly, the NRC concludes that 

there are no significant environmental 

impacts associated with the proposed 

action. 

Alternative to the Proposed Action 

As an alternative to the proposed 

action, the NRC staff considered denial 

of the proposed action (i.e., the ‘‘no 

action’’ alternative). Denial of the 

exemption would result in no change in 

current environmental impacts. Thus, 

the environmental impacts of the 

proposed action and the alternative 

action are similar. 

Alternative Use of Resources 

The action does not involve the use of 

any different resources than those 

previously considered in the Final 

Environmental Statement for the BFN 

dated September 1, 1972, for Units 1, 2, 

and 3. 

Agencies and Persons Consulted 

In accordance with its stated policy, 

on February 6, 2007, the NRC staff 

consulted with the Alabama State 

official, Kirk Whatley of the Office of 

Radiological Control, regarding the 

environmental impact of the proposed 

action. The State official had no 

comments. 

Finding of No Significant Impact 

On the basis of the environmental 

assessment, the Commission concludes 

that the proposed action will not have 

a significant effect on the quality of the 

human environment. Accordingly, the 

Commission has determined not to 

prepare an environmental impact 

statement for the proposed action.

purposed action, see the licensee’s letter

NUCLEAR WASTE TECHNICAL 

REVIEW BOARD 

Privacy Act of 1974; Systems of 

Records 

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Waste Technical 

Review Board. 

ACTION: Notice of modification to two 

existing systems of records. 

SUMMARY: 5 U.S.C. 552a requires that 

each federal agency review its systems 

of records containing personal 

information covered by the Privacy Act 

of 1974. As a result of its latest review, 

the Board is amending both of the 

systems of records that it maintains. A 

description of these systems was 

published in November 22, 2006 (71 FR 

67654–67655). The Board proposed 

amending NWTRB–1 and expanding 

NWTRB–2 to include other information 

useful to the Board. In the first system, 

Administrative Files, some categories 

were overlooked in the previous notice. 

The Board further proposed expanding 

the second system, Mailing List, to 

become the Contact List. The Board 

determined that the changes to 

NWTRB–1 were important enough to 

republish the notice with the changes 

and that the changes to NWTRB–2 were 

substantial enough to accept comments 

on the proposed expansion until 

January 15, 2007. The Board received no 

comments on the proposed expansion. 

DATES: The changes to NWTRB–2 will 

become effective on February 28, 2007. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Victoria Reich, 703–235–4473. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board 

currently maintains two systems of 

records , NWTRB–1 and NWTRB–2, that 

contain information covered by the 

Privacy Act of 1974. In its review of 

these systems, the Board has found 

classes of information that were not 

included in its previous notice and on 

November 22, 2006, republished 

NWTRB–1 with the corrections added. 

The Board further found that expanding 

the records in NWTRB–2 would make it 

more useful and requested comments 

from the public from November 22, 

2006, until January 15, 2007. No 

comments were received during this 

period. Accordingly, the Board plans to 

proceed with the proposed changes on 

February 28, 2007. 

Dated: February 23, 2007.

Executive Director, U.S. Nuclear Waste 

Technical Review Board.

ACTION: Notice of a proposed

SUMMARY: Chapter 47 of title 5, United 

States Code, authorizes the Office of 

Personnel Management (OPM), directly 

or in agreement with one or more 

agencies, to conduct demonstration 

projects that experiment with new and 

different human resources management 

concepts to determine whether changes 

in human resources policy or 

procedures would result in improved 

Federal human resources management. 

The National Nuclear Security 

Administration (NNSA) and OPM 

propose to test a pay banding system in 

which within-band pay progression is
