Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 136 / Monday, July 18, 2005 / Notices
accept additional waste streams and
treat waste using additional
technologies. In order to do so,
Conditions 1 and 5 of the Order would
need to be revised.
Alternatives to the Proposed Action
The only alternative to the proposed
action that the NRC staff considered was
the no-action alternative. Under the noaction alternative, the Order would not
be revised.
Affected Environment
The NRC staff has prepared an
environmental impact statement (EIS)
(NUREG–1476; August 1993), EAs, and
SERs for its previous actions. The
affected environment for the Envirocare
site is described in detail in NUREG–
1476.
Environmental Impacts of the
Alternatives
No-Action Alternative: For the noaction alternative, the environmental
impacts would be the same as those
evaluated in the EAs that support the
May 21, 1999, Order (64 FR 26463, May
14, 1999), the January 30, 2003,
modification of the Order (68 FR 3281,
January 23, 2003), and the December 29,
2003, modification of the Order (68 FR
59645, October 16, 2003). The
regulations regarding SNM possession
in 10 CFR part 150 set mass limits
whereby a licensee is exempted from
the licensing requirements of 10 CFR
part 70 and can be regulated by an
Agreement State. The licensing
requirements in 10 CFR part 70 apply to
persons possessing greater than critical
mass quantities (as defined in 10 CFR
150.11). The principal emphasis of 10
CFR part 70 is criticality safety and
safeguarding SNM against diversion or
sabotage. The NRC staff considers that
criticality safety can be maintained by
relying on concentration limits, under
the specified conditions. These
concentration limits are considered an
alternative definition of quantities not
sufficient to form a critical mass to the
weight limits in 10 CFR 150.11, thereby
assuring the same level of protection.
The 1999 and the two 2003 EAs
concluded that issuance of the Order
would have no significant radiological
or non-radiological environmental
impacts.
Proposed Action: For the proposed
action, the environmental impacts are
not expected to be significant. Effluent
releases and potential doses to the
public are regulated by the State of Utah
and are not anticipated to change as a
result of this revision. The NRC staff
previously determined in the 1999 EA
that there would be no significant
VerDate jul<14>2003
15:11 Jul 15, 2005
Jkt 205001
radiological or non-radiological impacts
resulting from the proposed limits of
uranium and plutonium. In addition,
these revisions to the Order are not
expected to significantly change
environmental impacts from current
operations at Envirocare.
For Envirocare, the changes to the
limits will allow the site to accept new
waste streams, which may increase the
number of waste shipments to the site.
It is estimated that this may result in
approximately 100 additional shipments
per year to the site, which equates to
about two shipments per week. It is not
expected that the small increase in
shipments would have a significant
environmental impact to the local area.
In addition, it is not expected that
Envirocares’s use of the new waste
processing technologies would have
significant environmental impacts.
These technologies would be used in
treating and stabilizing waste containing
SNM, and any effluents from these
processes would be collected and
managed to prevent release. As stated
previously, potential radiological doses
are not anticipated to change as a result
of the use of these new technologies.
Conclusion
Based on its review, the NRC staff
finds that the environmental impacts
from the proposed action and the noaction alternative are similar. Since the
proposed action will not significantly
impact the quality of the human
environment, the NRC staff concludes
that the proposed action is the preferred
alternative.
Agencies and Persons Consulted
Officials from the State of Utah,
Department of Environmental Quality,
Division of Radiation Control were
contacted about this EA for the
proposed action and had no comments.
Because the proposed action is not
expected to have any impact on
threatened or endangered species or
historic resources, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service and the State of Utah
Historic Preservation Officer were not
contacted.
III. Finding of No Significant Impact
On the basis of the EA, The NRC has
concluded that there are no significant
environmental impacts from the
proposed amendment and has
determined not to prepare an
environmental impact statement.
IV. Further Information
Documents related to this action,
including the application for
amendment and supporting
documentation, will be available

RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD
Proposed Collection; Comment
Request
SUMMARY: In accordance with the
requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
which provides opportunity for public
comment on new or revised data
collections, the Railroad Retirement
Board (RRB) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed data collections.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed information collection is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including
whether the information has practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the RRB’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
of the information; (c) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden related to
the collection of information on
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

Questionnaire for Annuitants in Last
Pre-Retirement Non-Railroad
Employment; OMB 3220–0179.
Under section 2(e)(3) of the Railroad
Retirement Act (RRA), an annuity is not
payable for any month in which a
beneficiary works for a railroad. In
addition, an annuity is reduced for any
month in which the beneficiary works
for an employer other than a railroad
employer and earns more than a
prescribed amount. Under the 1988
amendments to the RRA, the Tier II
portion of the regular annuity and any
supplemental annuity must be reduced
by one dollar for each two dollars of
Last Pre-Retirement Non-Railroad
Employment (LPE) earnings for each
month of such service. However, the
reduction cannot exceed fifty percent of
the Tier II and supplemental annuity
amount for the month to which such
deductions apply. LPE generally refers
to an annuitant’s last employment with
a non-railroad person, company, or
institution prior to retirement which
was performed whether at the same time
of, or after an annuitant stopped railroad
employment. The collection obtains
earnings information needed by the RRB
to determine if possible reductions in
annuities because of Last Pre-Retirement
Non-Railroad Employment Earnings
(LPE) are in order.
The RRB utilizes Form G–19L to
obtain LPE earnings information from
annuitants. Companion Form G–19L.1,
which serves as an instruction sheet and
contains the Paperwork Reduction/
Privacy Act Notice for the collection
accompanies each Form G–19L sent to
an annuitant. One response is requested
of each respondent. Completion is
required to retain a benefit. The RRB
proposes a minor non-burden impacting
editorial change to Form G–19L for
clarification purposes.
The estimated annual respondent
burden is as follows:
Estimated number of responses: 300.
Estimated completion time per
response: 15 minutes.
Estimated annual burden hours: 75.
Additonal Information or Comments:
To request more information or to
obtain a copy of the information
collection justification, forms, and/or
supporting material, please call the RRB
Clearance Officer at (312) 751–3363 or
send an e-mail request to
Charles.Mierzwa@RRB.GOV. Comments
regarding the information collection
should be addressed to Ronald J.
Hodapp, Railroad Retirement Board, 844
North Rush Street, Chicago, Illinois
