The NRC staff has evaluated WRAMC’s request and the results of the surveys and has concluded that the completed action complies with the criteria in 10 CFR part 20, subpart E. The staff has found that the environmental impacts from the action are bounded by the impacts evaluated by NUREG–1496, Volumes 1–3, ‘‘Generic Environmental Impact Statement in Support of Rulemaking on Radiological Criteria for License Termination of NRC-Licensed Facilities’’ (ML042310492, ML042320379, and ML042330385). On the basis of the EA, the NRC has concluded that the environmental impacts from the action are expected to be insignificant and has determined not to prepare an environmental impact statement for the action.

[FR Doc. 05–3396 Filed 2–22–05; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 7590–01–P NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued a new guide in the agency’s Regulatory Guide Series. This series has been developed to describe and make available to the public such information as methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific parts of the NRC’s regulations, techniques that the staff uses in evaluating specific problems or postulated accidents, and data that the staff needs in its review of applications for permits and licenses. Regulatory Guide 1.202, ‘‘Standard Format and Content of Decommissioning Cost Estimates for Nuclear Power Reactors,’’ provides guidance for licensees to use in meeting the NRC’s regulatory requirements for the various cost estimates that the agency requires for different stages and methods of decommissioning. Specifically, on July 29, 1996, the NRC amended its regulations on decommissioning procedures that lead to termination of an operating license PO 00000 Frm 00097 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 for nuclear power reactors, as specified in Title 10, Section 50.82, of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 50.82). That rulemaking included changes to the decommissioning-related provisions of 10 CFR part 2, ‘‘Rules of Practice for Domestic Licensing Proceedings and Issuance of Orders’’; part 50, ‘‘Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities’’; and part 51, ‘‘Environmental Protection Regulations for Domestic Licensing and Related Regulatory Functions.’’ Regulatory Guide 1.202 describes a method that the NRC staff considers acceptable for complying with those amended regulations. In November 2001, the NRC staff published a draft of this guide as Draft Regulatory Guide DG–1085. Following the closure of the public comment period on January 30, 2002, the staff resolved all stakeholder comments in the course of preparing the new Regulatory Guide 1.202. The NRC staff encourages and welcomes comments and suggestions in connection with improvements to published regulatory guides, as well as items for inclusion in regulatory guides that are currently being developed. You may submit comments by any of the following methods. Mail comments to: Rules and Directives Branch, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555– 0001. Hand-deliver comments to: Rules and Directives Branch, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852, between 7:30 a.m. and 4:15 p.m. on Federal workdays. Fax comments to: Rules and Directives Branch, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission at (301) 415–5144. Requests for technical information about Regulatory Guide 1.202 may be directed to C.L. Pittiglio at (301) 415– 1435 or via e-mail to CLP@nrc.gov. Regulatory guides are available for inspection or downloading through the NRC’s public Web site in the Regulatory Guides document collection of the NRC’s Electronic Reading Room at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doccollections. Electronic copies of Regulatory Guide 1.202 are also available in the NRC’s Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) at https:// www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html, under Accession No. ML050230008.
