Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 153 / Thursday, August 7, 2008 / Notices 46057 

Millstone 3 SPU is bounded by the 

analysis of the environmental effects of 

the transportation of fuel and waste as 

described in the ‘‘Extended Burnup Fuel 

Use in Commercial [Light Water 

Reactors] LWRs; Environmental 

Assessment and Finding of No 

Significant Impact,’’ dated February 29, 

1988 (53 FR 6040). 

Summary 

Based on the NRC staff review of 

licensee’s submission, it is concluded 

that the proposed SPU would not result 

in a significant increase in occupational 

or public radiation exposure, and would 

not result in significant additional fuel 

cycle environmental impacts. 

Accordingly, the NRC staff concludes 

that there would be no significant 

radiological environmental impacts 

associated with the proposed action. 

Environmental Impacts of the 

Alternatives to the Proposed Action 

As an alternative to the proposed 

action, the NRC staff considered denial 

of the proposed SPU (i.e., the ‘‘noaction’’ alternative). Denial of the 

application would result in no change 

in the current environmental impacts. 

However, if the proposed SPU were not 

approved, other agencies and electric 

power organizations may be required to 

pursue alternative means of providing 

electric generation capacity to offset the 

increased power demand forecasted for 

the ISO–NE regional transmission 

territory. 

A reasonable alternative to the 

proposed SPU would be to purchase 

power from other generators in the ISO–

NE network. In 2008, generating 

capacity in ISO–NE consisted primarily 

of Combined-cycle generators: 

combined-cycle generated 37.8 percent 

of ISO–NE capacity; fossil—29.9 

percent; nuclear—13.6 percent; 

hydroelectric—10.4 percent; 

combustion turbine—7.4 percent; 

diesel—0.7 percent; and 

miscellaneous—0.2 percent. This 

indicates that the majority of purchased 

power in the ISO–NE territory would 

likely be generated by a combined-cycle 

facility. Construction (if new generation 

is needed) and operation of a combinedcycle plant would create impacts in air 

quality, land use, and waste 

management significantly greater than 

those identified for the proposed SPU at 

Millstone 3. Millstone 3 does not emit 

sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon 

dioxide, or other atmospheric pollutants 

that are commonly associated with 

combined-cycle plants. Conservation 

programs such as demand-side 

management could feasibly replace the 

proposed SPU’s additional power 

output. However, forecasted future 

energy demand in the ISO–NE territory 

may exceed conservation savings and 

still require additional generating 

capacity. Furthermore, the proposed 

SPU does not involve environmental 

impacts that are significantly different 

from those originally identified in the 

1984 Millstone Power Station FES for 

operation. 

Alternative Use of Resources 

The action does not involve the use of 

any different resources than those 

previously considered in the ‘‘Final 

Environmental Statement Related to the 

Operation of Millstone Nuclear Power 

Station, Unit 3,’’ dated December 1984, 

or the ‘‘Generic Environmental Impact 

Statement for License Renewal of 

Nuclear Power Plants: Regarding 

Millstone Power Station, Units 2 and 3,’’

dated July 2005. 

Agencies and Persons Consulted 

In accordance with its stated policy, 

on July 11, 2008, via electronic mail, 

(Agencywide Documents Access and 

Management System (ADAMS) 

Accession No. ML081980598), the NRC 

staff consulted with the Connecticut 

State Official, Mr. Denny Galloway of 

the Department of Environmental 

Protection, regarding the environmental 

impact of the proposed action. The state 

official did not submit comments. 

Finding of No Significant Impact 

On the basis of the environmental 

assessment, the NRC concludes that the 

proposed action will not have a 

significant effect on the quality of the 

human environment. Accordingly, the 

NRC has determined not to prepare an 

environmental impact statement for the 

proposed action. 

For further details with respect to the 

proposed action, see the licensee’s letter 

dated July 13, 2007, as supplemented by 

letters dated July 13, September 12,

origin for woven apparel. 

SUMMARY: In Proclamation 8213 of 

December 20, 2007, as modified by 

Proclamation 8272 of June 30, 2008, the 

President modified the Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States (the 

‘‘HTS’’) to implement (1) an amendment

with respect to certain woven apparel. 

The proclamations provide for each set 

of modifications to enter into effect on 

a date that the United States Trade 

Representative (the ‘‘USTR’’) announces 

in the Federal Register and to apply to 

goods that are entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse for consumption, on or 

after that date. This Notice announces

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1. Amendment to CAFTA–DR 

The CAFTA–DR parties signed an 

amendment of the CAFTA–DR on July 

27, August 6, and August 14, 2007 (the 

‘‘Amendment’’). The terms of the 

Amendment are contained in letters of 

understanding between the United 

States and the CAFTA–DR signatories 

described in sections 1634(a)(2) and 

1634(b)(2) of the Pension Protection Act 

of 2006 (Pub. L. 109–280). In 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
46058 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 153 / Thursday, August 7, 2008 / Notices 

1Applicants request that any order issued 

granting the relief requested in the application also 

apply to any closed-end investment company that 

in the future: (a) is advised by the Adviser 

(including any successor in interest) or by any 

entity controlling, controlled by, or under common 

control (within the meaning of section 2(a)(9) of the 

Act) with the Adviser; and (b) complies with the 

terms and conditions of the requested order. A 

successor in interest is limited to entities that result 

from a reorganization into another jurisdiction or a 

change in the type of business organization. 

Proclamation 8213, as modified by 

Proclamation 8272, the President 

modified the HTS to implement the 

Amendment with respect to the 

CAFTA–DR parties. These 

modifications are set forth in sections A, 

B, and C of the Annex to Proclamation 

8213, as modified by paragraph 2 of 

Annex VI to Proclamation 8272. 

Proclamations 8213 and 8272 provide 

for these modifications to enter into 

effect on the date, as announced by the 

USTR in the Federal Register, that the 

Amendment enters into force, and to be 

effective with respect to goods entered, 

or withdrawn from warehouse for 

consumption, on or after that date. I 

anticipate that the Amendment will 

enter into force on August 15, 2008. 

Accordingly, I announce that these 

modifications to the HTS shall enter 

into effect on August 15, 2008. 

2. Rule of Origin for Woven Apparel 

Section 203(o) of the CAFTA–DR 

Implementation Act (19 U.S.C. 4033(o)) 

authorizes the President to proclaim, as 

part of the HTS, the provisions set out 

in Annex 4.1 of the CAFTA–DR. Among 

these provisions is a rule of origin set 

out in Appendix 4.1–B of the CAFTA–

DR that provides, subject to certain 

conditions, for Mexican and Canadian 

inputs to be treated as though they 

originated in a CAFTA–DR country for 

purposes of determining whether 

certain woven apparel imported into the 

United States qualifies for duty-free 

treatment under the agreement. In 

Proclamation 8213, as modified by 

Proclamation 8272, the President 

modified the HTS to implement this 

rule of origin. These modifications are 

set forth in section D of the Annex to 

Proclamation 8213, as modified by 

paragraph 1 of Annex VI to 

Proclamation 8272. 

Proclamations 8213 and 8272 provide 

for these modifications to the HTS to 

enter into effect on the date, as 

announced by the USTR in the Federal 

Register, that the Amendment enters 

into force and the conditions set forth in 

paragraph (a), paragraph (b), or both, of 

footnote 1 to Appendix 4.1–B of the 

CAFTA–DR have been fulfilled, and to 

be effective with respect to goods 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse 

for consumption, on or after that date. 

I anticipate that the Amendment will 

enter into force on August 15, 2008. In 

addition, all of the conditions set forth 

in paragraph (a) of footnote 1 to 

Appendix 4.1–B of the CAFTA–DR have 

been fulfilled and therefore the rule of 

origin may enter into force with respect 

to woven apparel containing materials 

produced in Mexico. Accordingly, I 

announce that these modifications to 

the HTS shall enter into effect on 

August 15, 2008, with respect to 

materials produced in Mexico.

Applicants’ Representations 

1. The Fund is a registered closed-end 

management investment company 

organized as a Maryland corporation. 

The Fund’s primary investment 

objectives are current income and longterm growth of income, with a 

secondary objective of capital 

appreciation.1 The Fund’s common 

stock is listed on the New York Stock 

Exchange, and the Fund’s preferred 

stock is not listed on any exchange. 

Applicants believe that the Fund’s 

shareholders are generally conservative, 

income-sensitive investors who desire 

steady distributions of income and who 

will favor a distribution policy with 

respect to its common stock. 

2. The Adviser is registered under the 

Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and is 

responsible for the overall management 

of the Fund and other registered 

investment companies and institutional 

accounts. 

3. Applicants represent that on 

February 21, 2007, the Board of 

Directors (the ‘‘Board’’) of the Fund, 

including a majority of the directors 

who are not ‘‘interested persons’’ of the 

Fund as defined in section 2(a)(19) of 

the Act (the ‘‘Independent Directors’’), 

reviewed information regarding the 

purpose and terms of a proposed 

distribution policy, the likely effects of 

such policy on the Fund’s long-term 

total return (in relation to market price 

and net asset value (‘‘NAV’’) per 

common share) and the relationship 

between the Fund’s distribution rate on 

its common shares under the policy and 

the Fund’s total return on NAV per 

share. Applicants state that the
