AGENCY: National Indian Gaming

Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given,

pursuant to 25 CFR 514.1(a)(3), that the

National Indian Gaming Commission

has adopted final annual fee rates of

0.00% for tier 1 and 0.075% (.00075) for

tier 2 for calendar year 2001. These rates

shall apply to all assessable gross

revenues from each gaming operation

under the jurisdiction of the

Commission.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Bobby Gordon, National Indian Gaming

Commission, 1441 L Street, NW., Suite

9100, Washington, DC 20005; telephone

202/632–7003; fax 202/632–7066 (these

are not toll-free numbers).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Indian Gaming Regulatory Act

established the National Indian Gaming

Commission which is charged with,

among other things, regulating gaming

on Indian lands.

The regulations of the Commission

(25 CFR part 514), as amended, provide

for a system of fee assessment and

payment that is self-administered by

gaming operations. Pursuant to those

regulations, the Commission is required

to adopt and communicate assessment

rates; the gaming operations are

required to apply those rates to their

revenues, compute the fees to be paid,

report the revenues, and remit the fees

to the Commission on a quarterly basis.

The regulations of the Commission

and the preliminary annual rate being

adopted today are effective for calendar

year 2001. Therefore, all gaming

operations within the jurisdiction of the

Commission are required to selfadminister the provisions of these

regulations and report and pay any fees

that are due to the Commission by

December 31, 2001.

Montie R. Deer,

Chairman, National Indian Gaming

Commission.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50–352 and 50–353]

Exelon Generation Company, LLC,

Limerick Generating Station, Units 1

and 2; Environmental Assessment and

Finding of No Significant Impact

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC) is considering

issuance of an exemption from Title 10

of the Code of Federal Regulations (10

CFR), part 50, Appendix E, Items IV.F.2.

b and c, for Facility Operating License

Nos. NPF–39 and NPF–85, issued to

Exelon Generation Company, LLC

(Exelon, the licensee), for operation of

the Limerick Generating Station, Units 1

and 2, located in Montgomery County,

Pennsylvania. Therefore, as required by

10 CFR 51.21, the NRC is issuing this

environmental assessment and finding

of no significant impact.

Environmental Assessment

Identification of the Proposed Action

The proposed action would allow a

one-time exemption from the

requirements of 10 CFR part 50,

Appendix E, Items IV.F.2.b and c,

regarding conduct of a full-participation

exercise of the onsite and offsite

emergency plan every 2 years. Under

the proposed exemption, the licensee

would reschedule the exercise originally

scheduled for November 1, 2001, and

complete the exercise requirements by

December 31, 2002.

The proposed action is in accordance

with the licensee’s application for an

exemption dated October 16, 2001.

The Need for the Proposed Action

Currently under 10 CFR part 50,

Appendix E, Items IV.F.2. b and c, each

licensee at each site is required to

conduct a full-participation exercise of

its onsite and offsite emergency plans

every 2 years. Federal agencies, such as

the Federal Emergency Management

Agency, observe these exercises and

evaluate the performance of the

licensee, State, and local authorities

having a role under the emergency plan.

The licensee had initially planned to

conduct an exercise of its offsite

emergency plan on November 1, 2001,

which was within the required 2-year

interval. However, due to the ongoing

national security threat in the United

States, and the response, recovery, and

other offsite agency activities associated

with the September 11, 2001, terrorist

attacks, the licensee has decided to

postpone the exercise. The licensee does

not plan to conduct the fullparticipation exercise until after the 2-

year interval has expired.

Environmental Impacts of the Proposed

Action

The NRC has completed its evaluation

of the proposed action and concludes

that the proposed action involves an

administrative activity unrelated to

plant operations.

The proposed action will not

significantly increase the probability or

consequences of accidents, no changes

are being made in the types of any

effluents that may be released offsite,

and there is no significant increase in

occupational or public radiation

exposure. Therefore, there are no

significant radiological environmental
