Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 194 / Friday, October 7, 2005 / Notices sites considered for the MPRS were on undeveloped land on the NAU Centennial Forest and adjacent to existing development at The Arboretum at Flagstaff. It is expected that construction will be completed in May of 2006. A Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) has been prepared that analyzes the potential environmental effects of this proposed action. From the information contained in the Draft EA, the NSF is prepared to find that no significant environmental effects will result from construction of the MerriamPowell Research Station on the preferred site at the Arboretum at Flatgstaff.

The proposed amendments would modify several surveillance requirements (SRs) in Technical Specifications (TSs) 3.8.1 and 3.8.4 on alternating current and direct current sources, respectively, for plant operation. The revised SRs would have notes deleted or modified to allow the SRs to be performed, or partially performed, in reactor modes that are currently not allowed by the TSs. The current SRs are not allowed to be performed in Modes 1 and 2. Several of the current SRs also cannot be performed in Modes 3 and 4. The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on July 8, 2003 (68 FR 40709). However, the licensee partially withdrew the proposed change in two separate letters. By letter dated June 23, 2004, the licensee withdrew the proposed changes to the notes in SR 3.8.4.7 and SR 3.8.4.8 and by letter dated September 27, 2005, the licensee withdrew the proposed changes to SRs 3.8.1.9, 3.8.1.10, and 3.8.1.14. For further details with respect to this action, see the application for amendments dated May 28, 2003, and the licensee’s letters dated June 23, 2004, and September 27, 2005, which partially withdrew the application for license amendments.

Notification of the amendment request was published in the Federal Register on May 5, 2004 (Vol. 69, No. 101, Page 69769). The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff reviewed the Final Status Survey Report (FSSR) and concludes that: (i) Dismantlement and decontamination activities were performed in accordance with the approved License Termination Plan (LTP), and (ii) Maine Yankee’s FSSR Supplements 1–10A demonstrate that the land to be released from Facility Operating License No. DPR–36, meets the radiological criteria for unrestricted use, as defined by 10 CFR 20.1402, by meeting site release criteria of 10 PO 00000 Frm 00097 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 millirem (Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) per year over background (all pathways) and 4 millirem (as distinguishable from background) TEDE per year for groundwater sources of drinking water in accordance with the approved LTP. Therefore, NRC is releasing all land from the jurisdiction of license DPR–36 except the land where the ISFSI is located, and a 3.17 acre parcel of land adjacent to the ISFSI.
