Many UL test standards also are approved as American National Standards by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). However, for convenience, we use the designation of the standards developing organization for the standard as opposed to the ANSI designation. Under our procedures, any NRTL recognized for an ANSI-approved test standard may use either the latest proprietary version of the test standard or the latest ANSI version of that standard. You may contact ANSI to find out whether or not a test standard is currently ANSI-approved. Preliminary Finding on the Application NSF has submitted an acceptable request for expansion of its recognition as an NRTL. In connection with this request, OSHA did not perform an onsite review of NSF’s NRTL testing facilities. However, NRTL Program assessment staff reviewed information pertinent to the request and recommended that NSF’s recognition be expanded to include the twenty additional test standards listed above (see Exhibit 16–3). Our review of the application file, the assessor’s recommendation, and other pertinent documents indicate that NSF can meet the requirements, as prescribed by 29 CFR 1910.7, for the expansion for the twenty additional test standards listed above. This preliminary finding does not constitute an interim or temporary approval of the application. OSHA welcomes public comments, in sufficient detail, as to whether NSF has met the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its recognition as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory. Your comments should consist of pertinent written documents and exhibits. Should you need more time to comment, you must request it in writing, including reasons for the request. OSHA must receive your written request for extension at the address provided above no later than the last date for comments. OSHA will limit any extension to 30 days, unless the requester justifies a longer period. We may deny a request for extension if it is not adequately justified. You may obtain or review copies of NSF’s requests, the on-site review report, other pertinent documents, and all submitted comments, as received, by contacting the Docket Office, Room N–2625, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, at the above address. Docket No. NRTL2–98 contains all materials in the record concerning NSF’s application. VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:06 May 17, 2006 Jkt 208001 The NRTL Program staff will review all timely comments and, after resolution of issues raised by these comments, will recommend whether to grant NSF’s expansion request. The Assistant Secretary will make the final decision on granting the expansion and, in making this decision, may undertake other proceedings that are prescribed in Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. OSHA will publish a public notice of this final decision in the Federal Register. STATUS: Open. The Commission will consider and act upon the following in open session: Secretary of Labor v.

E6–7573 Filed 5–17–06; 8:45 am] Section 50.71(e)(4) requires licensees to submit updates to their FSARs annually or within 6 months after each refueling outage provided that the interval between successive updates does not exceed 24 months. Since the units for each site share a common FSAR, the licensee must update the same document annually or within 6 months after a refueling outage for each unit. The underlying purpose of the rule was to relieve licensees of the burden of filing annual FSAR revisions while ensuring that such revisions are made at least every 24 months. The NRC reduced the burden, in part, by permitting a licensee to submit its FSAR revisions 6 months after refueling outages for its facility, but it did not provide in the rule for multiple-unit facilities sharing a common FSAR. Rather, the NRC stated, ‘‘[w]ith respect to the concern about multiple facilities sharing a common FSAR, licensees will have maximum flexibility for scheduling updates on a case-by-case basis’’ (57 FR 39355). Allowing the exemptions would keep the updated FSARs current within 24 months of the BILLING CODE 7590–01–P NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION [Docket Nos. 50–266, 50–301, 50–282, and 50–306] wwhite on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES Nuclear Management Company, LLC; Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2; Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2; Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering issuance of exemptions from Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), section 50.71(e)(4), for Facility Operating License Nos.

The updated FSAR at PINGP is called the Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR). Under the proposed exemptions, the licensee would submit updates to the updated FSARs once per fuel cycle, within 6 months following completion of each PBNP, Unit 1, refueling outage and within 6 months of each PINGP, Unit 2, refueling outage, respectively, not to exceed 24 months from the last submittal for either site. PBNP and PINGP are two-unit sites, each site sharing a common updated FSAR. The proposed actions are in accordance with the licensee’s application dated October 12, 2005. The Need for the Proposed Action PO 00000 Frm 00040 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 28889 last revision, while reducing the burden on the licensee. Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Action The NRC has completed its evaluation of the proposed actions and concludes that they involve administrative activities unrelated to plant operation, and therefore there would be no significant environmental impacts associated with the proposed actions. The proposed actions will not significantly increase the probability or consequences of accidents. No changes are being made in the types of effluents that may be released off site. There is no significant increase in the amount of any effluent released off site. There is no significant increase in occupational or public radiation exposure. Therefore, there are no significant radiological environmental impacts associated with the proposed actions. With regard to potential nonradiological impacts, the proposed actions do not have a potential to affect any historic sites. They do not affect non-radiological plant effluents and have no other environmental impact. Therefore, there are no significant nonradiological environmental impacts associated with the proposed actions. Accordingly, the NRC concludes that there are no significant environmental impacts associated with the proposed actions. Environmental Impacts of the Alternatives to the Proposed Action As an alternative to the proposed actions, the NRC staff considered denial of the proposed actions (i.e., the ‘‘noaction’’ alternative). Denial of the application would result in no change in current environmental impacts. The environmental impacts of the proposed actions and the alternative action are similar. Alternative Use of Resources The proposed actions do not involve the use of any different resources than those previously considered in the Final Environmental Statement for PBNP, dated May 1972; in NUREG–1437, Supplement 23, ‘‘Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants [regarding PBNP],’’ dated August 2005; and in the Final Environmental Statement for PINGP, dated May 1973.
