NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS

ADMINISTRATION

Records Schedules; Availability and

Request for Comments

AGENCY: National Archives and Records

Administration, Office of Records

Administration.

ACTION: Notice of availability of

proposed records schedules; request for

comments.

SUMMARY: The National Archives and

Records Administration (NARA)

publishes notice at least once monthly

of certain Federal agency requests for

records disposition authority (records

schedules). Records schedules identify

records of sufficient value to warrant

preservation in the National Archives of

the United States. Schedules also

authorize agencies after a specified

period to dispose of records lacking

administrative, legal, research, or other

value. Notice is published for records

schedules that (1) Propose the

destruction of records not previously

authorized for disposal, or (2) reduce

the retention period for records already

authorized for disposal. NARA invites

public comments on such schedules, as

required by 44 USC 3303a(a).

DATES: Request for copies must be

received in writing on or before July 22,

1996. Once the appraisal of the records

is completed, NARA will send a copy of

the schedule. The requester will be

given 30 days to submit comments.

ADDRESSES: Address requests for single

copies of schedules identified in this

notice to the Records Appraisal and

Disposition Division (NIR), National

Archives and Records Administration,

College Park, MD 20740. Requesters

must cite the control number assigned

to each schedule when requesting a

copy. The control number appears in

the parentheses immediately after the

name of the requesting agency.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each year

U.S. Government agencies create

billions of records on paper, film,

magnetic tape, and other media. In order

to control this accumulation, agency

records managers prepare records

schedules specifying when the agency

no longer needs the records and what

happens to the records after this period.

Some schedules are comprehensive and

cover all the records of an agency or one

of its major subdivisions. These

comprehensive schedules provide for

the eventual transfer to the National

Archives of historically valuable records

and authorize the disposal of all other

records. Most schedules, however, cover

records of only one office or program or

a few series of records, and many are
28602 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 5, 1996 / Notices

updates of previously approved

schedules. Such schedules also may

include records that are designated for

permanent retention.

Destruction of records requires the

approval of the Archivist of the United

States. This approval is granted after a

thorough study of the records that takes

into account their administrative use by

the agency of origin, the rights of the

Government and of private persons

directly affected by the Government’s

activities, and historical or other value.

This public notice identifies the

Federal agencies and their subdivisions

requesting disposition authority,

includes the control number assigned to

each schedule, and briefly describes the

records proposed for disposal. The

records schedule contains additional

information about the records and their

disposition. Further information about

the disposition process will be

furnished to each requester.

Schedules Pending

1. Department of Agriculture,

Agricultural Marketing Service (N1–

136–96–1). Change in retention period

for regulatory enforcement case files.

2. United States Department of the

Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (N1–

115–94–8). General administrative

records pertaining to project and power

management.

3. Department of State (N1–59–96–

12). Routine, facilitative, duplicative,

and fragmentary files identified during

review of the 1964–66 office files.

4. Department of Transportation,

Federal Transit Administration, Office

of Grants Management (N1–408–94–1).

Triennial review files for the Capital

and Operating Assistance Program.

5. Department of Transportation,

Surface Transportation Board (N1–134–

96–2). Change in retention standards for

recordation files.

6. Environmental Protection Agency

(N1–412–95–7). Reduction in retention

periods for permit and compliance files

and administrative files relating to

computer center operations.

7. Tennessee Valley Authority (N1–

142–95–12). Printouts and reports

produced by the Human Resource

Information System (the electronic

records produced by this system are

designated for permanent retention).

Dated: May 23, 1996.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50–286]

Port Authority of the State of New York

Consideration of Issuance of

Amendment to Facility Operating

License, Proposed No Significant

Hazards Consideration Determination,

and Opportunity for a Hearing

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (the Commission) is

considering issuance of an amendment

to Facility Operating License No. DPR–

64 issued to New York Power Authority

for operation of the Indian Point

Nuclear Generating Unit No. 3 (IP3)

located in Westchester County, New

York.

The proposed amendment would

allow the reactor coolant system (RCS)

leak test, which is performed after each

refueling outage, to be conducted at

normal operating pressure as opposed to

being conducted at 2335 psig.

Before issuance of the proposed

license amendment, the Commission

will have made findings required by the

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended

(the Act) and the Commission’s

regulations.

The Commission has made a

proposed determination that the

amendment request involves no

significant hazards consideration. Under

the Commission’s regulations in 10 CFR

50.92, this means that operation of the

facility in accordance with the proposed

amendment would not (1) involve a

significant increase in the probability or

consequences of an accident previously

evaluated; or (2) create the possibility of

a new or different kind of accident from

any accident previously evaluated; or

(3) involve a significant reduction in a

margin of safety. As required by 10 CFR

50.91(a), the licensee has provided its

analysis of the issue of no significant

hazards consideration, which is

presented below:

1. Does the proposed license amendment

involve a significant increase in the

probability or consequences of an accident

previously evaluated?

Response: The proposed license

amendment does not involve a significant

increase in the probability or consequences

of an accident previously evaluated. The

change proposes a system leakage test for the

RCS that is comparable to the hydrostatic test

that it replaces, as acknowledged by the NRC

approval of ASME [American Society of

Mechanical Engineers] Code Case N–498,

‘‘Alternative Rules for 10-Year Hydrostatic

Pressure Testing for Class 1 and 2 Systems

Section XI, Division 1,’’ and the ASME Boiler

and Pressure Vessel Code, Section XI. As

discussed in Section 2 [see application dated

April 26, 1996], ‘‘Evaluation of Change,’’ the

proposed change to substitute a system leak

test at normal operating pressure in lieu of

the hydrostatic test at 2335 psig will

minimize challenge to plant safety and

demonstrate leak tightness of the RCS.

Therefore, the proposed change would not

involve a significant increase in the

probability or consequences of an accident

previously evaluated.

2. Does the proposed license amendment

create the possibility of a new or different

kind of accident from any accident

previously evaluated?

Response: The proposed license

amendment does not create the possibility of

a new or different kind of accident from any

accident previously evaluated. The proposed

changes do not involve the addition of any

new or different type of equipment, nor do

they involve the operation of equipment

required for safe operation of the facility in

a manner different from those addressed in

the Final Safety Analysis Report. As stated in

Section 2 [see application dated April 26,

1996] based on industry experience, it is

expected that any leaks would be discovered

by the leak test at normal operating pressure.

3. Does the proposed amendment involve

a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

Response: The proposed license

amendment does not involve a significant

reduction in a margin of safety. The proposed

changes do not adversely affect performance

of any safety related system or component,

instrument operation, or safety system

setpoints and do not result in increased

severity of any of the accidents considered in

the safety analysis. Although the current

basis states that if the system does not leak

at 2335 psig (operating pressure +100 psig) it

will be leak tight during normal operation,

industry experience demonstrates that leaks

are not discovered as a result of hydrostatic

test pressure propagating a pre-existing flaw

through wall. In most cases, leaks are

discovered when the system is at normal

operating pressure. Also, testing will

continue to be performed as required by

ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code

Section XI.

The NRC staff has reviewed the

licensee’s analysis and, based on this

review, it appears that the three

standards of 10 CFR 50.92(c) are

satisfied. Therefore, the NRC staff

proposes to determine that the

amendment request involves no

significant hazards consideration.

The Commission is seeking public

comments on this proposed

determination. Any comments received

within 30 days after the date of

publication of this notice will be

considered in making any final

determination.

Normally, the Commission will not

issue the amendment until the

expiration of the 30-day notice period.

However, should circumstances change

during the notice period such that

failure to act in a timely way would

result, for example, in derating or

shutdown of the facility, the
