and accurate information possible to
policymakers in Congress and
throughout government and academia,
NSF/SRS conducts many surveys to
obtain the data for these purposes. The
Generic Clearance will be used to
ensure that the highest quality data is
obtained from these surveys. State-ofthe-art methodology will be used to
develop, evaluate, and test
questionnaires and survey concepts as
well as to improve survey methodology.
This may include field or pilot tests of
questions for future large-scale surveys,
as needed.
Expected Respondents: The
respondents will be from industry,
academia, nonprofit organizations,
members of the public, and state, local,
and federal governments. Respondents
will be either individuals or
institutions, depending upon the survey
under investigation. Qualitative
procedures will generally be conducted
in person or over the phone, but
quantitative procedures may be
conducted using mail, web, e-mail, or
phone modes, depending on the topic
under investigation. Up to 19,150
respondents will be contacted across the
survey improvement projects. No
respondent will be contacted more than
twice in one year under this generic
clearance. Every effort will be made to
use technology to limit the burden on
respondents from small entities.
Both qualitative and quantitative
methods will be used to improve NSF’s
current data collection instruments and
processes and to reduce respondent
burden, as well as to develop new
surveys. Qualitative methods include,
but are not limited to, expert review;
exploratory, cognitive, and usability
interviews; focus groups; and
respondent debriefings. Cognitive and
usability interviews may include the use
of scenarios, paraphrasing, card sorts,
vignette classifications, and rating tasks.
Quantitative methods include, but are
not limited to, telephone surveys,
behavior coding, split panel tests, and
field tests.
Information being collected is not
considered sensitive. In general,
assurances of data confidentiality will
not be provided to respondents in the
pretests. Instead, respondents have the
option of requesting that any and all
data they provide be kept confidential.
Use of the Information: The purpose
of these studies is to use the latest and
most appropriate methodology to
improve NSF surveys. The data will be
used internally to improve NSF surveys.
Methodological findings may be
presented externally in technical papers
at conferences, published in the
proceedings of conferences, or in
journals. Improved NSF surveys will
help policy makers in decisions on
research and development fundings,
graduate education, scientific and
technical workforce, regulations, and
reporting guidelines, as well as
contributing to reduced survey costs.
Burden on the Public: NSF estimates
that a total reporting and recordkeeping
burden of 14,950 hours will result from
activities to improve its surveys. The
calculation is:

Duke Power Company Llc, et al.,
Notice of Consideration of Issuance of
Amendment to Facility Operating
License, Proposed No Significant
Hazards Consideration Determination,
and Opportunity for a Hearing
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (the Commission) is
considering issuance of an amendment
to Facility Operating License Nos. NPF–
35, NPF–52, NPF–9 and NPF–11, issued
to Duke Power Company, LLC, et al., for
operation of the Catawba Nuclear
Station, Units 1 and 2, located in York

Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2, located
in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.

The proposed amendments would
revise technical specification (TS)
3.4.15, ‘‘RCS [Reactor Coolant System]
Leakage Detection Instrumentation’’.
The proposed changes address the
incore instrument room sump level
instrumentation and containment
atmosphere radioactivity monitors and
their compliance with Regulatory Guide
1.45.
Before issuance of the proposed
license amendment, the Commission
will have made findings required by the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended
(the Act), and the Commission’s
regulations.
The Commission has made a
proposed determination that the
amendment request involves no
significant hazards consideration. Under
the Commission’s regulations in Title 10
of the Code of Federal Regulations (10
CFR), Part 50, Section 50.92, this means
that operation of the facility in
accordance with the proposed
amendment would not (1) involve a
significant increase in the probability or
consequences of an accident previously
evaluated; or (2) create the possibility of
a new or different kind of accident from
any accident previously evaluated; or
(3) involve a significant reduction in a
margin of safety. As required by 10 CFR
50.91(a), the licensee has provided its
analysis of the issue of no significant
hazards consideration, which is
presented below. This analysis is from
the May 4, 2006, submittal and
supercedes the analysis from the
licensee’s July 27, 2005, submittal:
1. Would implementation of the changes
proposed in this LAR involve a significant
increase in the probability or consequences
of an accident previously evaluated?
No. The changes contained in this LAR
(license amendment request) have been
evaluated and determined to not increase the
probability or consequences of an accident
previously evaluated. The proposed changes
do not make any hardware changes and do
not alter the configuration of any plant
structure, system, or component. The
proposed LAR: (1) Removes the containment
atmosphere gaseous radioactivity monitor as
an option for meeting the operability
requirements of TS 3.4.15 and replaces it
with the containment atmosphere particulate
radioactivity monitor, (2) clarifies the
applicability of the TS to the containment
atmosphere particulate radioactivity monitor,
(3) adds the incore instrument sump and its
level instrumentation to the McGuire and
Catawba licensing basis contained in the TS,
the Bases, and the Updated Final Safety
Analysis Reports, and (4) makes other low
risk changes to TS 3.4.15. None of the
containment Reactor Coolant System (RCS)
leakage detection instrumentation systems
are initiators of any accident; therefore, the
probability of occurrence of an accident is
not increased. The McGuire and Catawba
PO 00000
Frm 00079
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
licensing bases will continue to require
diverse means of detecting reactor coolant
system (RCS) leakage, thus ensuring that
leakage due to cracks would continue to be
identified prior to breakage and the plant
would be shutdown accordingly. Therefore
the consequences of an accident are not
increased.
2. Would implementation of the changes
proposed in this LAR create the possibility of
a new or different kind of accident from any
accident previously evaluated?
No. The changes proposed in this LAR do
not involve the use or installation of any
equipment that is less conservative than that
already installed and in use. No new or
different system interactions are created and
no new processes are introduced. The
proposed changes will not introduce any new
failure mechanisms, malfunctions, or
accident initiators not already considered in
the design and licensing basis. The proposed
changes do not affect any structure, system,
or component associated with an accident
initiator. Based on these considerations, the
proposed changes do not create the
possibility of a new or different kind of
accident from any accident previously
evaluated.
3. Would implementation of the changes
proposed in this LAR involve a significant
reduction in a margin of safety?
No. The changes proposed in this LAR do
not make any alteration to any RCS leakage
detection components. The proposed changes
only remove the containment atmosphere
gaseous radioactivity monitors as an option
for meeting the operability requirements for
TS 3.4.15 and replace it with the more
responsive containment atmosphere
particulate radioactivity monitor. Since the
level of radioactivity in the McGuire and
Catawba reactor coolant has become much
lower than what was assumed in the original
licensing bases, the gaseous channel can no
longer detect a small RCS leak consistent
with the plants’ leak-before-break (LBB)
analyses. A conservative addition is being
made to TS 3.4.15 in order to include
controls for the incore instrument sump level
instrumentation. The changes contained in
the LAR are not risk significant since the RCS
leakage detection instrumentation is not
credited in the McGuire and Catawba
probabilistic risk assessments. The proposed
amendment continues to require diverse
means of leakage detection equipment with
the capability to promptly detect RCS leakage
well within the margin of the LBB analyses.
Based on this evaluation, the proposed
changes do not involve a significant
reduction in a margin of safety.
The NRC staff has reviewed the
licensee’s analysis and, based on this
review, it appears that the three
standards of 10 CFR 50.92(c) are
satisfied. Therefore, the NRC staff
proposes to determine that the
amendment request involves no
significant hazards consideration.
The Commission is seeking public
comments on this proposed
determination. Any comments received
within 30 days after the date of
