NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION.
Notice of the Availability of a Draft
Environmental Assessment
National Science Foundation.
Notice of availability of a draft
Environmental Assessment for proposed
activities in the Pacific Ocean.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The National Science
Foundation gives notice of the
availability of a draft Environmental
Assessment for proposed activities in
the Pacific Ocean.
The Division of Ocean Sciences in the
Directorate for Geosciences (GEO/OCE)
has prepared a draft Environmental
Assessment for a marine geophysical
survey by the Research Vessel Roger
Revelle in the vicinity of Louisville
Ridge in the Pacific Ocean, January–
February 2006. The draft Environmental
Assessment is available for public
review for a 30-day period.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before August 8, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the draft
Environmental Assessment are available
upon request from: Dr. Alexander Shor,
National Science Foundation, Division
of Ocean Sciences, 4201 Wilson Blvd.,
Suite 725, Arlington, VA 22230.
Telephone: (703) 292–8583. The draft is
also available on the agency’s Web site
at https://www.nsf.gov/geo/oce/pubs/
scrippsllouisvillelridgelEA.pdf.
The
Scripps Institution of Oceanography
(SIO), with research funding from the
National Science Foundation (NSF),
plans to conduct a marine survey on six
seamounts of the Louisville Ridge in the
Southwest Pacific Ocean during
January–February, 2006. The proposed
action is to conduct a planned scientific
rock-dredging, magnetic, and seismic
survey program to examine the eruptive
history of the submarine volcanoes
there, and to collect date needed to
design an effective Integrated Ocean
Drilling Program (IODP) study on
carefully-selected seamounts. The
research will be carried out entirely
within International Waters.
Numerous species of cetaceans and
sea turtles occur in the Southwest
Pacific Ocean. Several of the species are
listed as Endangered under the U.S.
Endangered Species Act (ESA). The
increased underwater noise from the
research may result in avoidance
behavior by some marine animals, and
other forms of disturbance. An integral
part of the planned survey is a
monitoring and mitigation program to
minimize impacts of the proposed
activities of marine species present, and
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
PO 00000

to document the nature and extent of
any effects. Injurious impacts to marine
animal have not been proven to occur
near equipment proposed to be used in
this research; however, the planned
monitoring and mitigation measures
would minimize the possibility of such
effects should they otherwise occur.
With the planned monitoring and
mitigation measure, unavoidable
impacts in each of the species of marine
mammal that might be encountered are
expected to be limited to short term
localized changes in behavior and
distribution near the seismic vessel. At
most, such effects may be interpreted as
falling within the Marine Mammal
Protection Act (MMPA) definition of
‘‘Level B Harassment’’ for those species
managed by NMFS. No long-term or
significant effects are expected on
individual marine mammals, or the
populations to which they belong, or
their habitats. The agency is currently
consulting with the National Marine
Fisheries Service regarding species
within their jurisdiction potentially
affected by this proposed activity.
Copies of the draft Environmental
Assessment, titled ‘‘Environmental
Assessment of a Planned Low-Energy
Marine Seismic Survey by the Scripps
Institution of Oceanography on the
Louisville Ridge in the Southwest
Pacific Ocean, January–February 2006’’,
are available upon request from:
Dr. Alexander Shor, National Science
Foundation, Division of Ocean Sciences,
4201 Wilson Blvd., Suite 725, Arlington,
VA 22230. Telephone: (703) 292–8583
or at the agency’s Web site at: https://

National Science Foundation invites
interested members of the public to
provide written comments on this draft
Environmental Assessment.

July 14, 2003, as supplemented on
March 15, April 23, May 20, December
8, and December 17, 2004, and January

Renewed Facility Operating License
Nos. DPR–44 and DPR–56 for the Peach
Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Specifically, the amendment will allow
the licensee to transfer filtercake,
containing very low levels of radioactive
contamination, to a cement kiln so it
may be utilized rather than disposed of
in a landfill.
Cabot Supermetals (CSM) submitted,
by letter dated November 24, 2004, a
license amendment request for Source
Materials License No. SMB–920, to
allow recycling of waste water filtercake
produced at the Boyertown,
Pennsylvania (PA) facility. The staff has
prepared the EA in support of the
proposed license amendment. Within
the EA staff considered information
related to the site (cultural resources,
demographics and socio-economics,
hydrology, geology, meteorology,
ecology, air and water quality, and
noise) most of which was detailed in the
Environmental Assessment issued April
12, 2004, for the license renewal. The
proposed action was found to result in
doses for all scenarios of less than 0.01
milliSievert per year (mSv/yr) [1
millirem/yr]. These doses are consistent
with NRC’s policy on recycling of
material under 10 CFR 20.2002. The
staff also reviewed the impacts from the
transportation and handling of the
filtercake and found that impacts were
similar to, or below those already being
measured when the filtercake is sent to
a landfill.
I. Introduction
III. Finding of No Significant Impact
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) is issuing an amendment to
Materials License No. SMB–920 issued
to Cabot Corporation (the licensee), to
authorize the recycling of waste water
filtercake to be used as feed material at
a cement kiln. NRC has prepared an
Environmental Assessment (EA) in
support of this amendment in
accordance with the requirements of 10
CFR part 51. Based on the EA, the NRC
has concluded that a Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI) is
appropriate. The amendment will be
issued following the publication of this
notice.
On the basis of the EA, NRC has
concluded that there are no significant
environmental impacts from the
proposed amendment and has
determined not to prepare an
environmental impact statement.
