E6–3234 Filed 3–7–06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 7536–01–P NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION Notice of the Availability of an Environmental Assessment National Science Foundation. ACTION: Notice of availability of a draft Environmental Assessment for proposed activities in the Arctic Ocean. erjones on PROD1PC68 with NOTICES AGENCY: SUMMARY: The National Science Foundation gives notice of the availability of a draft Environmental Assessment for proposed activities in the Arctic Ocean. The Office of Polar Programs (OPP) has prepared an Environmental Assessment of a marine geophysical survey by the Coast Guard cutter Healy in the western Canada Basin, Chukchi Borderland and Mendeleev Ridge, Arctic Ocean, during July—August, 2006. Given the United States Arctic Program’s mission to support polar research, the proposed action is expected to result in substantial benefits to science. The draft Environmental Assessment is available for public review for a 30-day period. DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before April 7, 2006. VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:23 Mar 07, 2006 Jkt 208001 Copies of the draft Environmental Assessment are available upon request from: Dr. Polly A. Penhale, National Science Foundation, Office of Polar Programs, 4201 Wilson Blvd., Suite 755, Arlington, VA 22230 at 703– 292–8031 or ppenhale@nsf.gov or at the agency’s Web site at https://www.nsf.gov/od/opp/arctic/ arc_envir/healy_ea_06.pdf. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The University of Texas, Austin, with research funding from the National Science Foundation plans to conduct a marine seismic survey in the western Canada Basin, Chukchi Borderland and Mendeleev Ridge, Arctic Ocean, during the period of 15 July to 25 August 2006 (approximately). This project will include collection of seismic reflection and refraction data as well as sediment coring intended to collect crustal structure samples. The purpose of the seismic survey is to study the origin and kinematics of the Amerasian Basin’s opening. The data collected will be used to analyze the internal structure of the ridges and plateaus of the Amerasian basin allowing current theories of its formation to be tested. The proposed study will consists of a geophysical survey in the Arctic Ocean with seven interspersed periods of coring. Several species of cetaceans and pinnipeds inhabit the Arctic Ocean. The increased underwater noise from the research may result in avoidance behavior by some marine mammals and fish, 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 on marine species present, and on fishing and subsistence activities, and to document the nature and extent of any effects. Injurious impacts to marine mammals 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 measures, unavoidable impacts to 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 the National Marine Fisheries Service. No long-term or significant effects are expected on individual marine mammals, or the ADDRESSES: PO 00000 Frm 00109 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 11681 populations to which they belong, or their habitats. The agency is currently consulting with both the National Marine Fisheries Service and the Fish & Wildlife Service regarding species within their respective jurisdictions potentially affected by this proposed activity. Copies of the draft Environmental Assessment entitled ‘‘Environmental Assessment of a Marine Geophysical Survey by the USCG Healy of the Western Canada Basin, Chukchi Borderland and Mendeleev Ridge, Arctic Ocean, July–August 2006’’ are available upon request from: Dr. Polly A. Penhale, National Science Foundation, Office of Polar Programs, 4201 Wilson Blvd., Suite 755, Arlington, VA 22230 at 703–292–8031 or ppenhale@nsf.gov. or at the agency’s website at https://www.nsf.gov/od/opp/arctic/ arc_envir/healy_ea_06.pdf. The National Science Foundation invites interested members of the public to provide written comments on this draft Environmental Assessment. Polly A. Penhale, Environmental Officer, Office of Polar Programs, National Science Foundation.

ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to submit an information collection request to OMB and solicitation of public comment. SUMMARY: The NRC is preparing a submittal to OMB for review of continued approval of information collections under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted: 1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 62—‘‘Criteria and Procedures for Emergency Access to Non-Federal and Regional Low-Level Waste Disposal Facilities.’’ 2. Current OMB approval number: 3150–0158. 3. How often the collection is required: The collection would only be required upon application for an VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:53 Mar 07, 2006 Jkt 208001 exemption or when access to a nonFederal low-level waste disposal facility is denied, which results in a public health and safety and/or common defense and security concern. 4. Who is required or asked to report: Generators of low-level waste who are denied access to a non-Federal low-level waste facility. 5. The estimated number of annual respondents: 2 (No exemptions or requests for emergency access has been recorded to date). 6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement or request: 233. 7. Abstract: 10 CFR part 62 sets out the information which must be provided to the NRC by any low-level waste generator seeking emergency access to an operating low-level waste disposal facility. The information is required to allow NRC to determine if denial of disposal constitutes a serious and immediate threat to public health and safety or common defense and security. 10 CFR part 62 also provides that the Commission may grant an exemption from the requirements in this Part upon application of an interested person or upon its own initiative. Submit, by May 8, 2006 comments that address the following questions: 1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical utility? 2. Is the burden estimate accurate? 3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected? 4. How can the burden of the information collection be minimized, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology? A copy of the draft supporting statement may be viewed free of charge at the NRC Public Document Room, One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Room O–1 F21, Rockville, MD 20852.

(the licensee), which revised the Technical Specifications (TSs) and License for operation of the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station (VYNPS) located in Windham County, Vermont. The amendment was effective as of the date of its issuance. The amendment increases the maximum authorized power level for VYNPS from 1593 megawatts thermal (MWt) to 1912 MWt, which is an increase of approximately 20 percent. The increase in power level is considered an extended power uprate. The application for the amendment complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the Commission’s rules and regulations. The Commission has made appropriate findings as required by the Act and the Commission’s rules and regulations in 10 CFR Chapter I, which are set forth in the license amendment. The Commission published a ‘‘Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment to Facility Operating License and Opportunity for a Hearing’’ related to this action in the Federal Register on July 1, 2004 (69 FR 39976). This Notice provided 60 days for the public to request a hearing. On August 30, 2004, the Vermont Department of Public Service and the New England Coalition filed requests for hearing in connection with the proposed amendment. By Order dated November 22, 2004, the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (ASLB) granted those hearing requests and by Order dated December 16, 2004, the ASLB issued its decision to conduct a hearing using the procedures in 10 CFR part 2, subpart L, E:\FR\FM\08MRN1.SGM 08MRN1
