pursue license renewal. Under the no

action alternative the plant would cease

to produce power and TVA would

choose one of the decommissioning

options. Under this alternative, the

power no longer being produced by

Browns Ferry may or may not be

generated or obtained by other means.

Preliminary Identification of

Environmental Issues

This SEIS will discuss the need to

continue to operate the plant and will

describe the existing environmental,

cultural, recreational, and

socioeconomic resources. The SEIS will

consider the potential environmental

impacts resulting from refurbishment,

operation and maintenance of the

existing facilities, as well as any

additional impacts from returning Unit

1 to service. TVA’s evaluation of

environmental impacts to resources will

include, but not necessarily be limited

to, the potential impacts on air quality,

surface and ground water quality and

resources, vegetation, wildlife, aquatic

ecology, endangered and threatened

species, floodplains, wetlands and

wetland wildlife, aesthetics and visual

resources, land use, cultural and

historic resources, light, noise,

socioeconomics, transportation, spent

fuel management, and radiological

impacts. These concerns and other

important issues identified during the

scoping process will be addressed as

appropriate in the SEIS.

Additionally, TVA will review the

Generic Environmental Impact

Statement for License Renewal of

Nuclear Plants (GEIS), NUREG–1437, in

which the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC) considered the

environmental effects of renewing

nuclear power plant operating licenses

for a 20-year period (results are codified

in 10 CFR Part 51). The GEIS identifies

92 environmental issues and reaches

generic conclusions on environmental

impacts for 69 of those issues that apply

to all plants or to plants with specific

design or site characteristics. It is

expected that the generic assessment in

NRC’s EIS would be relevant to the

assessment of impacts of the proposed

actions at the Browns Ferry Plant.

Information from NRC’s EIS that is

relevant to the current assessment

would be incorporated by reference

following the procedures described in

40 CFR 1502.21. Alternatively, TVA

may choose to tier off this EIS after first

adopting this EIS in accordance with 40

CFR 1506.3. Additional plant-specific

review would likely be necessary for the

remaining issues, which are

encompassed by the range of resource

issue areas identified above.

Public Participation

This Supplemental Environmental

Impact Statement (SEIS) is being

prepared to provide the public an

opportunity to provide input to TVA’s

assessment of the environmental

impacts of the suite of proposals at BFN

including the request for license

renewal and the possible return to

service of Unit 1. The SEIS will also

serve to inform the public and the

decision-makers of the reasonable

alternatives that would minimize

adverse impacts.

The scoping process will include both

interagency and public scoping. The

agencies expected to participate in

interagency scoping include the U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and

Wildlife Service, various State of

Alabama agencies including the

Department of Environmental

Management, and other federal, state

and local agencies as appropriate.

The public is invited to submit

written comments or e-mail comments

on the scope of this SEIS no later than

the date given under the DATES section

of this notice.

Comments may also be provided in an

oral or written format at the public

scoping meeting. TVA will conduct a

public meeting on the scope of the SEIS

in Limestone County, Alabama, on

Tuesday, March 6, 2001. The meeting

will be held at the Aerospace

Technology Building Auditorium on the

campus of Calhoun State Community

College on Highway 31 North.

Registration for the meeting will be from

6 to 6:30 p.m. There will be visual

displays and information handouts

available during the registration period.

The meeting will begin with brief

presentations by TVA staff explaining

the SEIS process and the proposed

license renewal project. Following these

presentations there will be group

discussions facilitated by staff of TVA

and Calhoun State Community College

to record the issues and concerns that

the public believes should be

considered in the SEIS.

Upon consideration of the scoping

comments, TVA will develop

alternatives and identify important

environmental issues to be addressed in

the SEIS. Following analysis of the

environmental consequences of each

alternative, TVA will prepare a draft

SEIS for public review and comment.

Notice of availability of the draft SEIS

will be published in the Federal

Register. TVA will solicit written

comments on the draft SEIS through this

Federal Register notice. Any meetings

that are scheduled to comment on the

draft SEIS will be announced by TVA.

TVA expects to release a final SEIS by

January 2002.

Notice of Intent To Request From the

Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) of Six Current Public

Collections of Information

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In compliance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3501 et seq.), the FAA invites public

comment on six currently approved

public information collections which

will be submitted to OMB for renewal.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before April 16, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed

or delivered to the FAA at the following

address: Ms. Judy Street, Room 613,

Federal Aviation Administration,

Standards and Information Division,

APF–100, 800 Independence Ave., SW.,

Washington, DC 20591.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.

Judy Street at the above address or on

(202) 267–9895.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: the FAA

solicits comments on the following six

current collections of information in

order to evaluate the necessity of the

collection, the accuracy of the agency’s

estimate of the burden, the quality,

utility, and clarity of the information to

be collected, and possible ways to

minimize the burden of the collection.

Following are short synopses of the

information collection activities which

will be submitted to OMB for review

and request for renewal:

1. 2120–0001, Notice of Proposed

Construction or Alteration and Notice of

Actual Construction or Alteration, and

Project Status Request. Federal

regulations require all persons to report

proposed or actual construction/

alteration of structures affecting air

safety. The reporting requirements as

prescribed in 14 CFR Part 77 affects any

persons or business planning to

construct or alter a structure that may

affect air safety. The information is used

to ensure the safe and efficient use of

the navigable airspace by aircraft. The

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 32 / Thursday, February 15, 2001 / Notices 10559

current estimated annual reporting

burden on the public is 8,820 hours.

2. 2120–0022, Certification:

Mechanics Repairmen, Parachute

Riggers, and Inspection Authorizations,

FAR–65. FAR part 65 prescribes rules

governing the issuance of certificates

and associated rating for mechanics,

repairmen, parachute riggers, and the

issuance of inspection authorizations.

The current estimated annual burden is

28,943 hours.

3. 2120–0056, Report of Inspections

Required by Airworthiness Directives.

The Airworthiness Directive (AD) is the

medium used by the FAA to provide

notice to aircraft owners and operators

that an unsafe condition exists and to

prescribe the conditions and/or

limitations, including inspections,

under which the product may continue

to be operated. AD’s are issued to

require corrective action to correct

unsafe conditions in aircraft engines,

propellers, and appliances. Reports of

inspections are often needed when

emergency corrective action is taken to

determine if the action was adequate to

correct the unsafe condition. The

respondents are an estimated 81,000

owners/operators. The current estimated

annual burden is 6,771 hours.

4. 2120–0101, Physiological training.

This report is necessary to establish

qualifications of eligibility to receive

voluntary physiological training and

will be used as proper evidence of

training. An application form is

completed by pilots and crewmembers

as a request to receive voluntary

physiological training. The current

estimated annual burden is 5,500 hours.

5. 2120–0524, High Density Traffic

airports; Slot Allocation and Transfer

Methods. The information collection

requirements of the rule involve the air

carriers or commuter operators notifying

the FAA of their current and planned

activities regarding use of the arrival

and departure slots at the high-density

airports. The FAA logs, verifies, and

processes the requests made by the

operators. This information is used to

allocate and withdraw takeoff and

landing slots at the high-density

airports, and confirms transfers of slots

made among the operators. The current

estimated annual burden is 2,581 hours.

6. 2120–0628, Employment History

Verification, and Criminal History

Records Check. The rule requires

screeners and their supervisors to

complete employment background

checks. The current estimated annual

burden is 2,969 hours.

Issued in Washington, DC, on February 9,

2001.
