SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
erjones on PROD1PC68 with NOTICES
On June 12, 2002, the President
signed into law the Public Health
Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness
and Response Act of 2002, which
includes PDUFA III. In conjunction with
the passage of PDUFA III, FDA agreed
to certain performance goals and
procedures that were described in an
enclosure to a June 4, 2002, letter from
the Secretary of Health and Human
Services, Tommy Thompson, to
Congress entitled ‘‘PDUFA
Reauthorization Performance Goals and
Procedures’’ (PDUFA Goals and
Procedures).
One of the goals relates to FDA’s
performance of first cycle reviews of
original NMEs for NDAs and BLAs
(PDUFA Goals and Procedures, section
10). Related to this goal, FDA was to
retain an independent expert consultant
to undertake a study to evaluate issues
associated with the agency’s conduct of
first cycle reviews. The study was to
assess the following objectives: (1)
Current first cycle review performance
and any changes that occur after FDA
publishes guidance on Good Review
Management Principles (GRMPs), (2) the
first cycle review history of all NDAs for
new molecular entities and all BLAs
during PDUFA III, and (3) the
effectiveness of FDA’s staff training
regarding GRMPs. FDA awarded a
contract to an independent expert to
study these issues. The report referred
to in this document covers the
retrospective portion of objectives (1)
and (2) listed previously.
In accordance with the PDUFA goal,
the report is being made available to the
public.
Dated: January 30, 2006.

Assistant Commissioner for Policy.

The
Towing Safety Advisory Committee
(TSAC) is a Federal advisory committee
mandated by Congress and operates
under 5 U.S.C. App. 2, (Pub. L. 92–463,
86 Stat. 770, as amended). It advises the
Secretary of Homeland Security on
matters relating to shallow-draft inland
and coastal waterway navigation and
towing safety. This advice also assists
the Coast Guard in formulating the
position of the United States in advance
of meetings of the International
Maritime Organization.
TSAC meets at least once a year at
Coast Guard Headquarters, Washington,
DC, or another location selected by the
Coast Guard. It may also meet for
extraordinary purposes. Its working
groups may meet to consider specific
issues as required. The 16-person
membership includes 7 representatives
of the Barge and Towing Industry
(reflecting a regional geographical
balance); 1 member from the Offshore
Mineral and Oil Supply Vessel Industry;
and 2 members from each of the
following areas: Maritime Labor;
Shippers (of whom at least one shall be
engaged in the shipment of oil or
hazardous materials by barge); Port
Districts, Authorities, or Terminal

Notice of Request for Comments To

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that
the Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
is requesting comments that will
address right-of-way applications filed
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:23 Feb 06, 2006
Jkt 208001
by Private Fuel Storage (PFS), LLC, for
an independent spent fuel storage
installation on reservation lands of the
Skull Valley Band of Goshute Indians
(Band or Skull Valley Band). The
installation is described in an
environmental impact statement (EIS)
prepared by the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC), entitled Final
Environmental Impact Statement for the
Construction and Operation of an
Independent Spent Fuel Storage
Installation on the Reservation of the
Skull Valley Band of Goshute Indians
and the Related Transportation Facility
in Tooele County, Utah (December
2001). This EIS is available online at
https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doccollections/nuregs/staff/sr1714/v1/.
BLM was a cooperating agency in the
preparation of this EIS, as were the
Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), U.S.
Department of the Interior, and the U.S.
Surface Transportation Board. Your
comments are sought pursuant to 40
CFR 1506.6(d).
DATES: The Bureau of Land Management
should receive your comments by May
8, 2006.
ADDRESSES: You should address your
comments to the attention of Pam
Schuller, Bureau of Land Management,
Salt Lake Field Office, 2370 S. 2300 W.,
Salt Lake City, Utah 84119.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Pam
Schuller, Environmental Specialist, Salt
Lake Field Office, 801–977–4356.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
applications filed by PFS seek rights-ofway under Title V of the Federal Land
Policy and Management Act (FLPMA),
43 U.S.C. 1761, to transport spent
nuclear fuel (SNF) across public lands
managed by BLM. As proposed, the fuel
would be transported by rail from an
existing Union Pacific railroad site to a
PFS facility on the Reservation of the
Skull Valley Band of Goshute Indians in
Tooele County, Utah. The fuel would be
stored in aboveground canisters on the
Reservation, awaiting eventual disposal
at a permanent geologic repository
currently proposed for Yucca Mountain,
Nevada, or other, further storage at a
location off the Reservation.
In order for PFS to construct a rail
line and transport SNF to reservation
lands, an amendment to BLM’s Pony
Express Resource Management Plan
(RMP) would be necessary and PFS
would need a right-of-way grant from
BLM. An alternative to this rail line
would involve construction of an
intermodal transfer facility (ITF) on
BLM lands. SNF would be transported
by heavy-haul tractor/trailers to the
reservation site under this alternative.

Your comments are necessary to assist
BLM in reviewing the applications of
PFS. Regulations recently revised by
BLM at 43 CFR part 2804.26 (70 FR
21067 (April 22, 2005)) call for BLM to
consider a number of factors in deciding
whether to grant or deny an application
for a right-of-way. Among these factors
are (1) the project’s consistency with
BLM(s management of the public lands;
(2) the public interest; (3) the
applicant’s qualifications to hold a
grant; (4) the project’s consistency with
FLPMA, other laws, or regulations; (5)
the applicant’s technical or financial
capability; and (6) the applicant’s
compliance with information requests.
BLM will apply these standards to the
PFS applications in light of the data in
the applications and in the EIS. Certain
recent developments also merit
consideration, including statements by
the Energy Department and PFS
members, and Congressional action.
Public Law 109–163, the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2006, was signed by President
Bush on January 6, 2006. 119 Stat. 3136.
Section 384 of this Act designated
certain lands as the Cedar Mountain
Wilderness Area and withdrew these
lands ‘‘from all forms of entry,
appropriation, or disposal under the
public land laws, from location, entry,
and patent under the United States
mining laws, and from disposition
under all laws pertaining to mineral and
geothermal leasing, and mineral
materials, and all amendments to such
laws.’’ These lands include the area
described in PFS’s application for a
right-of-way for a rail line, but do not
include the area described in PFS’s
application for a right-of-way for the
ITF. Because a rail line would be
incompatible with wilderness,
designation of the Cedar Mountain
Wilderness Area would appear to
preclude the grant of a right-of-way for
the proposed rail line and shift the focus
of this project to the ITF alternative.
On October 26, 2005, Secretary of
Energy Samuel W. Bodman stated that
the PFS facility initiative is not part of
the Energy Department’s overall strategy
for the management of SNF and highlevel radioactive waste. The Secretary
noted that the Energy Department
would be prohibited by statute from
providing funding or financial
assistance to the initiative because the
PFS facility would be constructed and
operated by the private sector outside
the scope of the Nuclear Waste Policy
Act of 1982 (NWPA). The Energy
Department will continue to work
toward the successful development of
Yucca Mountain as a permanent
geologic repository for the Nation’s
