SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act established the National Indian Gaming Commission which is charged with, among other things, regulating gaming on Indians lands. The regulations of the Commission (25 CFR part 514), as amended, provide for a system of fee assessment and payment that is self-administered by gaming operations. Pursuant to those regulations, the Commission is required to adopt and communicate assessment rates; the gaming operations are required to apply those rates to their revenues, compute the fees to be paid, report the revenues, and remit the fees to the Commission on a quarterly basis. The regulations of the Commission and the final rate being adopted today are effective for calendar year 2005. Therefore, all gaming operations within the jurisdiction of the Commission are required to self-administer the provisions of these regulations and report and pay any fees that are due to the Commission by December 31, 2005.

The proposed amendment would have revised the Technical Specifications (TSs) pertaining to Required Action A.1 of TS 3.8.7, ‘‘Inverters—Operating,’’ to extend the Completion Time for one emergency uninterruptible power supply (UPS) inverter inoperable from 24 hours to 7 days. The associated Bases would also be changed to reflect the proposed TS change. The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on May 10, 2005 (70 FR 24653). However, by letter dated September 30, 2005, the licensee withdrew the proposed change. For further details with respect to this action, see the application for amendment dated April 1, 2005, and the licensee’s letter dated September 30, 2005, which withdrew the application for license amendment.

The purpose of this model is to permit the NRC to efficiently process amendments that propose to delete the reporting requirement from operating licenses. Licensees of nuclear power reactors to which the model applies may request amendments using the model application. Nadene G. Kennedy, Permit Officer, Office of Polar Programs.

Dates: December 5, 2005 to February 29, 2006. The NRC staff issued a Federal Register notice (70 FR 51098, August 29, 2005) that provided a model safety evaluation (SE) and a model no significant hazards consideration (NSHC) determination relating to the elimination of the license condition that requires reporting of violations of other requirements (typically in License Condition 2.C) in operating licenses. The NRC staff hereby announces that the model SE and NSHC determination may be referenced in plant-specific applications to adopt the changes. The NRC staff has posted a model application on the NRC Web site to assist licensees in using the consolidated line item improvement process (CLIIP) to delete the reporting requirement in operating licenses. The NRC staff can most efficiently consider applications based upon the model application if the application is submitted within a year of this Federal Register notice.
