NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50–263, 50–282, 50–306 and

72–10]

Northern States Power Co.; Monticello

Nuclear Generating Plant, Prairie

Island Nuclear Generating Plant, Units

1 and 2, and Prairie Island Independent

Spent Fuel Storage Installation;

Environmental Assessment and

Finding of No Significant Impact

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (the Commission) is

considering approval of the transfer of,

and issuance of amendments to Facility

Operating Licenses Nos. DPR–22, DPR–

42, DPR–60, and SNM–2506 issued to

Northern States Power Company, (the

licensee), for operation of the

Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant,

located in Wright County, Minnesota,

and the Prairie Island Nuclear

Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2, and the

Prairie Island Independent Spent Fuel

Storage Installation (ISFSI) located in

Goodhue County, Minnesota.

Environmental Assessment

Identification of the Proposed Actions

The proposed actions would consent

to the transfer of control of the operating

licenses, and amend them to reflect the

transfer of control of the licenses for the

Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant,

the Prairie Island Units 1 and 2 Nuclear

Generating Plants, and the Prairie Island

Independent Spent Fuel Storage

Installation facility, held by Northern

States Power Company (NSP).

Following a series of transactions, NSP
26226 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 102 / Friday, May 24, 1996 / Notices

will become a wholly owned subsidiary

of Wisconsin Energy Corporation

(WEC), the parent company of

Wisconsin Electric Power Company

(WEPCO). WEC will be renamed

Primergy Corporation (Primergy) and

will own two operating utility

subsidiaries: (1) Northern States Power

Company, which will be reincorporated

in Wisconsin and merged with a newly

formed WEC/Primergy subsidiary, and

(2) WEPCO, which will be named

Wisconsin Energy Company. The

merged NSP will continue to operate the

same facilities above in the same

locations. The proposed action is in

accordance with NSP’s applications

dated October 20, 1995, and December

6, 1995.

The Need for the Proposed Actions

The proposed actions are required to

approve and reflect the transfer of

control of the licenses discussed above.

The transfer and amendments reflecting

the transfer of control will have minimal

impact on the operation of the facilities

by NSP. The transfer and amendment

will not affect the facilities’ Technical

Specifications or license conditions.

Environmental Impacts of the Proposed

Actions

The Commission has completed its

evaluation of the proposed transfer of

control of the licenses and related

license amendments and concludes that

there will be no changes to the

Monticello, Prairie Island Units 1 and 2,

and Prairie Island ISFSI facilities, or to

the environment as a result of these

actions. The transfer of control of the

licenses and the associated license

amendments will not affect the

qualifications or organizational

affiliation of the personnel who operate

the facilities, as NSP will continue to be

responsible for the operation of the

Monticello and Prairie Island facilities.

The Commission has evaluated the

environmental impact of the proposed

actions and has determined that the

probability or consequences of accidents

would not be increased by the transfer

of control and issuance of related

amendments, and that post-accident

radiological releases would not be

greater than previously determined.

Further, the Commission has

determined that the transfer of control

and issuance of related amendments

would not affect routine radiological

plant effluents and would not increase

occupational radiological exposure.

Accordingly, the Commission concludes

that there are no significant radiological

environmental impacts associated with

the proposed actions.

With regard to potential

nonradiological impacts, the transfer of

control and related amendments would

not affect nonradiological plant

effluents and would have no other

environmental impact. Therefore, the

Commission concludes that there are no

significant nonradiological

environmental impacts associated with

the proposed actions.

Alternative to the Proposed Actions

Since the Commission has concluded

that the environmental effects of the

proposed actions are not significant, any

alternatives with equal or greater

environmental impact need not be

evaluated. The principal alternative

would be to deny the requested

approvals. Denial of the applications

would result in no change in current

environmental impacts. The

environmental impacts of the proposed

actions and the alternative action are

identical.

Alternative Use of Resources

These actions do not involve the use

of any resources not previously

considered in the Final Environmental

Statements for the Monticello Nuclear

Generating Plant dated November 22,

1972, the Prairie Island Nuclear

Generating Plant dated May 1973, and

the Prairie Island ISFSI dated April

1991.

Agencies and Persons Contacted

In accordance with its stated policy,

the NRC staff consulted with the

Minnesota State official, Mr. Michael

McCarthy of the Department of Public

Services, on May 6, 1996, regarding the

environmental impact of the proposed

actions. Mr. McCarthy had no

comments.

Finding of No Significant Impact

Based upon the environmental

assessment, the Commission concludes

that the proposed actions 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 actions.

For further details with respect to the

proposed actions, see the licensee’s

submittals dated October 20 and

December 6, 1995, which are available

for public inspection at the

Commission’s Public Document Room,

The Gelman Building, 2120 L Street

NW., Washington, DC, and at the local

public document room located at the

Minneapolis Public Library, Technology

and Science Department, 300 Nicollet

Mall, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55401.

Dated at Rockville, Md., this 17 day of May

1996.

Mark Reinhart,

Acting Director, Project Directorate III–1,

Division of Reactor Projects—III/IV, Office of

Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
