from these two alternatives did not 

differ significantly from the impacts 

associated with the proposed action, 

and the NRC staff has determined that 

the information in this update does not 

change that conclusion. 

Agencies and Persons Consulted 

In preparing the 2012 EA, the NRC 

staff consulted with other agencies 

regarding the proposed action. These 

consultations are intended to (1) ensure 

that the requirements of Section 7 of the 

Endangered Species Act (ESA) and 

Section 106 of the National Historic 

Preservation Act (NHPA) are met; (2) 

fulfill the NRC’s requirements in 

meeting the provisions of Section 307 of 

the Coastal Zone Management Act of 

1972, as amended; and (3) provide the 

designated state liaison agencies the 

opportunity to comment on the 

proposed action. 

Based on that consultation, none of 

the agencies identified concerns with 

the proposed action. Because the 

proposed action is unchanged from the 

2012 EA and consultation, the NRC staff 

has not reinitiated consultation with 

these agencies and persons for this 

update. 

III. Finding of No Significant Impact 

After considering the impacts from 

continued storage presented in NUREG– 

2157 and the updated information 

concerning reasonably foreseeable 

future actions, the NRC staff concludes 

that these do not change the NRC staff’s 

finding of no significant impact for the 

proposed renewal for Exelon 

Generation’s Calvert Cliffs ISFSI license, 

as published. Therefore, preparation of 

an Environmental Impact Statement is 

not warranted.

[NRC–2014–0232] 

Applicability of ASME Code Case 

N–770–1, as Conditioned by Federal 

Regulation, to Branch Connection Butt 

Welds 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Draft regulatory issue summary; 

request for comment. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is seeking public 

comment on draft regulatory issue 

summary (RIS) 2014–XX. This draft RIS 

is addressed to all holders of an 

operating license or construction permit 

for a pressurized water nuclear power 

reactor under the NRC’s regulations, 

except those who have permanently 

ceased operations and have certified 

that fuel has been permanently removed 

from the reactor vessel. This draft RIS 

would inform these entities about 

reactor coolant system Alloy 82/182 

branch connection dissimilar metal 

nozzle weld that may be of a butt weld 

configuration and therefore require 

inspection under the NRC’s regulations. 

This RIS also informs these entities of 

a licensee’s recent misclassification and 

missed inspections to Alloy 82/182 

dissimilar metal butt welds in branch 

connections of primary coolant loop 

piping. 

DATES: Submit comments by December 

8, 2014. Comments received after this 

date will be considered if it is practical 

to do so, but the NRC is able to assure 

consideration only for comments 

received on or before this date. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comment 

by any of the following methods (unless 

this document describes a different 

method for submitting comments on a 

specific subject):

II. Background 

The NRC issues RISs to communicate 

with stakeholders on a broad range of 

regulatory matters. This may include 

communicating staff technical positions 

on matters that have not been 

communicated to or are not broadly 

understood by the nuclear industry. The 

NRC staff has developed draft RIS 2014– 

XX, ‘‘Applicability of ASME Code Case 

N–770–1 As Conditioned In 10 CFR 

50.55a, ‘‘Codes and Standards,’’ To 

Branch Connection Butt Welds,’’ to 

inform addresses about reactor coolant 

system Alloy 82/182 branch connection 

dissimilar metal nozzle welds that may 

be of a butt weld configuration and 

therefore require inspection under 10 

CFR 50.55a(g)(6)(ii)(F). The RIS, if 

issued in final form, would be used by 

all holders of an operating license or 

construction permit for a pressurized 

water nuclear power reactor under 10 

CFR Part 50, ‘‘Domestic Licensing of 

Production and Utilization Facilities,’’ 

except those who have permanently 

ceased operations and have certified 

that fuel has been permanently removed 

from the reactor vessel. The draft RIS 

explains that these entities should 

review this information for applicability 

to their Alloy 600 management plan to 

ensure all applicable butt welds are 

being inspected.
