Review

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of

information collection.

SUMMARY: The NRC has recently

submitted to OMB for review the

following proposal for collection of

information under the provisions of the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44

U.S.C. Chapter 35).

1. Type of submission, new, revision

or extension: Revision.

2. The title of the information

collection: 10 CFR Part 19, ‘‘Notices,

Instructions, and Reports to Workers:

Inspections and Investigations.’’

3. The form number if applicable: Not

applicable.

4. How often the collection is

required: As necessary in order that

adequate and timely reports of radiation

exposure be made to individuals

involved in NRC-licensed activities.

5. Who will be required or asked to

report: Licensees authorized to receive,

possess, use, or transfer material

licensed by the NRC.

6. An estimate of the number of

annual responses: 401,000.

7. An estimate of the total number of

hours needed annually to complete the

requirement or request: 33,417 (an

average of 5 minutes per response).

8. An indication of whether Section

3504(h), Pub. L. 96–511 applies: Not

applicable.

9. Abstract: Title 10 of the Code of

Federal Regulations, Part 19, requires

licensees to advise workers on an

annual basis of any radiation exposure

they may have received as a result of

NRC-licensed activities or when certain

conditions are met. These conditions

apply during termination of the

worker’s employment, at the request of

a worker, former worker, or when the

worker’s employer (the NRC licensee)

must report radiation exposure

information on the worker to the NRC.

Part 19 also establishes requirements for

instructions by licensees to individuals

participating in licensed activities and

options available to these individuals in

connection with Commission

inspections of licensees to ascertain

compliance with the provisions of the

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended,

Title II of the Energy Reorganization Act

of 1974, and regulations, orders and

licenses thereunder regarding

radiological working conditions.

The worker should be informed of the

radiation dose he or she receives

because: (a) That information is needed

by both a new employer and the

individual when the employee changes

jobs in the nuclear industry; (b) the

individual needs to know the radiation

dose received as a result of an accident

or incident (if this dose is in excess of

the 10 CFR Part 20 limits) so that he or

she can seek counseling about future

work involving radiation, medical

attention, or both, as desired; and (c)

since long-term exposure to radiation

may be an adverse health factor, the

individual needs to know whether the

accumulated dose is being controlled

within NRC limits. The worker also

needs to know about health risks from

occupational exposure to radioactive

materials or radiation, precautions or

procedures to minimize exposure,

worker responsibilities and options to

report any licensee conditions which

may lead to or cause a violation of

Commission regulations, and individual

radiation exposure reports which are

available to him.

[Docket No. 50–278]

PECO Energy Company Public Service

Electric and Gas Company Delmarva

Power and Light Company, Atlantic

City Electric Company, Peach Bottom

Atomic Power Station, Unit 3;

Environmental Assessment and

Finding of No Significant Impact

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (the Commission) is

considering issuance of an exemption

from the requirements of Sections

III.D.2.(a) and III.D.3 of Appendix J to 10

CFR Part 50, to PECO Energy Company,

Public Service Electric and Gas

Company, Delmarva Power and Light

Company, and Atlantic City Electric

Company (the licensee), for the Peach

Bottom Atomic Power Station (PBAPS),

Unit 3, located at the licensee’s site in

York County, Pennsylvania.

Environmental Assessment

Identification of Proposed Action

The proposed action would grant an

exemption from 10 CFR Part 50,

Appendix J, Sections III.D.2.(a) and

III.D.3. Section III.D.2.(a) states, in part:

‘‘Type B tests, except tests for air locks,

shall be performed during reactor

shutdown for refueling, or other

convenient intervals, but in no case at

intervals greater than 2 years.’’ Section

III.D.3 states: ‘‘Type C tests shall be

performed during each reactor

shutdown for refueling but in no case at

intervals greater than 2 years.’’ The

exemption would allow a one-time 60-

day extension of the 2-year requirement.

Hence, this exemption would allow the

licensee to perform the testing in

Sections III.D.2.(a) and III.D.3 during

Unit 3’s Cycle 10 refueling outage

scheduled to begin no later than

September 30, 1995.

The proposed action is in accordance

with the licensee’s application for

exemption dated February 22, 1995.

Need for the Proposed Action

PBAPS, Unit 3 is utilizing a new core

design which allows the intervals

between reactor shutdowns for refueling

to extend beyond the maximum

allowable 2-year interval. Prior to the

current operating cycle, local leak rate

tests were performed in conjunction

with an operating cycle of 18 months.

Use of extended cycle core designs has

been recognized as a growing trend in

the industry as discussed in the staff’s

Generic Letter 91–04, ‘‘Changes in

Technical Specification Surveillance

Intervals to Accommodate a 24-Month

Fuel Cycle,’’ dated April 2, 1991. The

staff previously granted the licensee

license amendments to allow PBAPS,

Unit 3 to perform selected surveillances

on a 24-month interval (see Amendment

173 dated August 19, 1992, and

Amendment 182 dated August 2, 1993).

However, the regulations cited by the

licensee in the exemption request have

not been revised to reflect the use of a

24-month operating cycle. Therefore,

the licensee has requested an exemption

in order to avoid a premature shutdown

which would be needed to accomplish

the testing and to properly schedule the

testing during the refueling outage.

Environmental Impacts of the Proposed

Action

The Commission has completed the

evaluation of the proposed exemption

and concludes that this action would

not significantly increase the probability

or amount of expected primary

containment leakage; hence, the

containment integrity would be

maintained.

Based on the information presented in

the licensee’s application, the proposed

extended test interval would not result

in a non-detectable leakage rate in

excess of the value established by 10

CFR Part 50, Appendix J, or in any

changes to the containment structure or

plant systems. Consequently, the

probability of accidents would not be

increased, nor would the post-accident

radiological releases be greater than

previously determined. Neither would

the proposed exemption otherwise

affect radiological plant effluents.

Accordingly, the Commission concludes

that this proposed action would result

in no significant radiological

environmental impact.

With regard to potential nonradiological impacts, the proposed

exemption does not affect nonradiological plant effluents and has no

other environmental impact. Therefore,

the Commission concludes that there

are no significant non-radiological
