Vicky D’Onofrio, Federal Register Liaison Officer. [FR Doc. 07–2565 Filed 5–18–07; 1:58 pm] I. Introduction The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is considering the renewal of Special Nuclear Material License SNM–1107 for the continued operation of the Westinghouse Electric Corporation, Columbia Fuel Fabrication Facility (CFFF) located near Columbia, South Carolina. This renewal would authorize the licensee to receive and possess nuclear materials at CFFF in order to fabricate and assemble nuclear fuel components under the provisions of 10 CFR part 70, Domestic Licensing of Special Nuclear Material. If approved, the renewed license term would be for 20 years. The NRC has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) in support of this action in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR part 51. Based on the EA, the NRC has concluded that a Finding of No Significant Impact is appropriate. If approved, the renewed license would be issued following the publication of this Notice. II. EA Summary Proposed Action The proposed action is to renew the SNM–1107 license for a 20-year period, thereby authorizing WEC to continue manufacturing nuclear fuel at CFFF. The current license authorizes WEC to PO 00000 Frm 00050 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 28715 receive, possess, use, and transfer special nuclear material at the CFFF in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR part 70. The renewed license would provide the same continued authorization to WEC. WEC’s request for the renewal was previously noticed in the Federal Register on December 29, 2005, (70 FR 249) with an opportunity to request a hearing. No hearing requests were received. Need for the Proposed Action CFFF is one of several facilities that fabricates fuel assemblies for commercial light-water cooled nuclear reactors. Continued production of the fuel assemblies is needed to meet the anticipated steady or increasing demand for electricity generated by these nuclear power reactors. WEC plans to continue to be a major supplier of this type of fuel through continued operations at the CFFF under its renewed NRC license. Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Action The NRC staff concluded that the proposed renewal, for a 20-year period, of license SNM–1107, involving the continued operations at the WEC CFFF, will not result in a significant impact to the environment. No significant impacts to site ecology are anticipated because of the proposed action. The proposed action will not adversely affect federal or state-listed threatened or endangered species nor other flora and fauna in the site vicinity. No significant impacts to regional historic and cultural resources are anticipated because of the proposed action. The license renewal request does not require altering undeveloped portions of the site. The proposed action can be viewed as a continuation of impacts and can be evaluated based on the previous impacts from past operations. Airborne effluents released through stacks and liquid effluents released in the Congaree River are below and are anticipated to remain below regulatory limits for nonradiological and radiological contaminants. No significant impacts to air quality from radiological contaminants are anticipated because of the proposed action. The CFFF radiological gaseous emissions are within the 10 CFR part 20 limits. The levels of radioactive material in the discharged liquid effluent from CFFF are monitored and have historically remained below 10 CFR part 20 limits. Finally, doses to the general public have been a small fraction of the annual limit in 10 CFR 20.1301 and occupational exposures are also below the annual limit in 10 CFR 20.1201.
