Environmental Assessment and

Finding of No Significant Impact

Regarding Proposed Order Approving

License Transfer and License

Amendment; Saxton Nuclear

Experimental Corporation; Saxton

Nuclear Experimental Facility

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC) is considering

issuance of an Order approving tranfer

and license amendment to Amended

Facility License No. DPR–4 issued to the

Saxton Nuclear Experimental

Corporation (SNEC) for possession of

the Saxton Nuclear Experimental

Facility (SNEF) located in Saxton,

Bedford County, Pennsylvania. The

SNEF is a small [28MW(t)] pressurizedwater reactor that ceased operation in

May 1972. The reactor has been

defueled, the fuel has been removed

from the site, and the reactor coolant

system has been drained.

Environmental Assessment

Identification of Proposed Action

The proposed action would revise the

amended facility license and technical

specifications to add GPU Nuclear

Corporation (GPU Nuclear) as a licensee

for the SNEF along with SNEC and

transfer from SNEC to GPU Nuclear all

management-related responsibilities for

the SNEF. The proposed action is in

accordance with SNEC’s application,

dated November 21, 1995, as

supplemented on March 13, 1996, with

which GPU Nuclear concurs. GPU

Nuclear is currently performing or

managing all activities at the SNEF

under contract to SNEC. Taking this

action allows GPU Nuclear to conduct

activities at the SNEF without the

additional step of acting as a contractor.

Need for Proposed Action

The proposed action is needed to

reflect the addition of GPU Nuclear as

a licensee and transfer the

responsibilities discussed above.

Environmental Impact of the Proposed

Action

The proposed action would change

the license to add GPU Nuclear as a

licensee and would transfer, from SNEC

to GPU Nuclear, all management-related

responsibilities for the SNEF. The action

is administrative in that the activities

required by the license are not changed

with the addition of GPU Nuclear as a

licensee.

The Commission has evaluated the

environmental impact of the proposed

action. The scope of work at the SNEF,

the probability or consequences of

accidents, radiological releases from the

facility, and occupational exposure will

not be changed by this action. Further,

the numbers and qualifications of

personnel at the SNEF will not change

as a result of this action. Accordingly,

the Commission concludes that there

are no significant radiological

environmental impacts associated with

the proposed action.

With regard to potential

nonradiological impacts, the addition of

GPU Nuclear as a licensee for the SNEF

and the transfer of management-related

responsibilities would not affect

nonradiological effluents and would

have no other environmental impact.

Alternatives to the Proposed Action

Since the Commission has concluded

that the environmental effects of the

proposed action are not significant, any

alternative with equal or greater

environmental impact need not be

evaluated. As an alternative to the

proposed action, the staff considered

denial of the request for license transfer

and amendment, which would force

GPU Nuclear to remain a contractor to

SNEC. This would not change the

amount or scope of activities at the

SNEF; therefore, denial of the

application would not change current

environmental impacts.

Alternative Use of Resources

No alternatives appear that will have

different or lesser effect on the use of

available resources.

Agencies and Persons Consulted

The NRC staff reviewed the licensee’s

request and consulted with the

Pennsylvania State official regarding the

environmental impact of the proposed

action. The State official had no

comments.

Finding of No Significant Impact

On the basis of the foregoing

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.

For detailed information with respect

to this proposed action, see the

application for amendment and transfer

of license dated November 21, 1995, as

supplemented on March 13, 1996. These

documents are available for public

inspection at the Commission’s Public

Document Room, 2120 L Street, NW.,

Washington, DC 20037 and at the local

public document room located at the

Saxton Community Library, 911 Church

Street, Saxton, Pennsylvania 16678.

of April 1996.

AGENCY: Office of Personnel

Management.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

(Public Law 104–13, May 22, 1995), this

notice announces the OPM intends to

submit a request to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) for

renewal of authority to collect data for

the Monthly Report of Federal Civilian

Employment (SF 113–A). The

information that is collected provides a

timely count of Governmentwide

employment, payroll, and turnover data.

Uses of the data include monthly

reporting to OMB and publishing the

bimonthly Federal Civilian Workforce

Statistics—Employment and Trends:

answering data requests from the

Congress, White House, other Federal

agencies, the media, and the public;

providing employment counts required

by OMB; and serving as benchmark data

for quality control of the Central

Personnel Data File. The number of

responding agencies is 130. The report

is submitted 12 times a year. The total

number of person-hours required to

prepare and transmit the reports

annually is estimated at 3,120.

For copies of the clearance package,

call James M. Farron, Reports and Forms

Manager, on (202) 418–3208, or by email to jmfarron@mail.opm.gov.

DATES: Comments on this proposal

should be received by no later than July

Request; (OPM Form 1622)

AGENCY: Office of Personnel

Management.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

(Public Law 104–13, May 22, 1995), this

notice announces that the Office of

Personnel Management intends to

submit to the Office of Management and

Budget a request for clearance of a

revised employment information

collection. The form is used in

conjunction with Project ABLE (ABLE

BENEFICIARIES’ LINK to

EMPLOYERS). OPM Form 1622,

‘‘Project ABLE Enrollment Form’’ is

used by authorized State Vocational

Rehabilitation Counselors. The Social

Security Administration identifies those

persons who may complete the

enrollment process. Information on

eligible enrollees is stored in OPM’s

Automated Applicant Referral System

(AARS). Project ABLE is designed to

enhance Federal job opportunities for

people with disabilities who are job

ready and want to work.

Planned revision is to allow for

enrollment form to capture information

regarding enrollee TDD access

information, when it is required.

Original OMB approval expires in June

1996.

We estimate no more than 1,000

enrollments will be processed annually.

Each form takes approximately 5

minutes (.08 hours) to complete. The

annual estimated burden is 80 hours.
