collection. The comments that are
submitted will be summarized and
included in the NARA request for Office
of Management and Budget (OMB)
approval. All comments will become a
matter of public record. In this notice,
NARA is soliciting comments
concerning the following information
collection:
Title: Presidential Libraries Museum
Visitor Survey.
OMB number: 3095–00XX.
Agency form number: N/A.
Type of review: Regular.
Affected public: Individuals who visit
the museums at the Presidential
libraries.
Estimated number of respondents:
75,000.
Estimated time per response: 15
minutes.
Frequency of response: On occasion
(when an individual visits a Presidential
Library or Museum.)
Estimated total annual burden hours:
18,750 hours.
Abstract: The survey will be
comprised of a set of questions designed
to allow for a statistical analysis that
will ultimately provide actionable
information to NARA. The survey
includes questions that measure the
visitor’s satisfaction in general and with
specific aspects of their visit. These
questions serve as dependent variables
for analytical purposes. Other questions
provide attitudinal, behavioral, and
demographic data that are used to help
understand variation in the satisfaction
variables. Using statistical analyses,
Harris Interactive will determine the
factors that drive the visitor’s
perceptions of quality and satisfaction
with the Library they visited.
Additionally, natural groupings of
visitors defined by similarity based on
these attitudinal, behavioral, and
demographic variables can be developed
and targeted for outreach purposes. The
information collected through this effort
will inform program activity, operation,
and oversight, and will benefit Library
and NARA staff and management in
making critical decisions about resource
allocation, museum operation and
program direction.

NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS
ADMINISTRATION
Records Schedules; Availability and
Request for Comments
National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA).
ACTION: Notice of availability of
proposed records schedules; request for
comments.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The National Archives and
Records Administration (NARA)
publishes notice at least once monthly
of certain Federal agency requests for
records disposition authority (records
schedules). Once approved by NARA,
records schedules provide mandatory
instructions on what happens to records
when no longer needed for current
Government business. They authorize
the preservation of records of
continuing value in the National
Archives of the United States and the
destruction, after a specified period, of
records lacking administrative, legal,
research, or other value. Notice is
published for records schedules in
which agencies propose to destroy
records not previously authorized for
disposal or reduce the retention period
of records already authorized for
disposal. NARA invites public
comments on such records schedules, as
required by 44 U.S.C. 3303a(a).
DATES: Requests for copies must be
received in writing on or before
September 10, 2007 (Note that the new
time period for requesting copies has
changed from 45 to 30 days after
publication). Once the appraisal of the
records is completed, NARA will send
a copy of the schedule. NARA staff
usually prepare appraisal
memorandums that contain additional
information concerning the records
covered by a proposed schedule. These,
too, may be requested and will be
provided once the appraisal is
completed. Requesters will be given 30
days to submit comments.
ADDRESSES: You may request a copy of
any records schedule identified in this
notice by contacting the Life Cycle
Management Division (NWML) using
one of the following means:
Mail: NARA (NWML), 8601 Adelphi
Road, College Park, MD 20740–6001.
E-mail: requestschedule@nara.gov.
FAX: 301–837–3698.
Requesters must cite the control
number, which appears in parentheses
after the name of the agency which
submitted the schedule, and must
provide a mailing address. Those who
desire appraisal reports should so
indicate in their request.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each year
Federal agencies create billions of
records on paper, film, magnetic tape,
and other media. To control this
accumulation, agency records managers
prepare schedules proposing retention
periods for records and submit these
schedules for NARA’s approval, using
the Standard Form (SF) 115, Request for
Records Disposition Authority. These
schedules provide for the timely transfer
into the National Archives of
historically valuable records and
authorize the disposal of all other
records after the agency no longer needs
them to conduct its business. Some
schedules are comprehensive and cover
all the records of an agency or one of its
major subdivisions. Most schedules,
however, cover records of only one
office or program or a few series of
records. Many of these update
previously approved schedules, and
some include records proposed as
permanent.
No Federal records are authorized for
destruction without the approval of the
Archivist of the United States. This
approval is granted only after a
thorough consideration of their
administrative use by the agency of
origin, the rights of the Government and
of private persons directly affected by
the Government’s activities, and
whether or not they have historical or
other value.
Besides identifying the Federal
agencies and any subdivisions
requesting disposition authority, this
public notice lists the organizational
unit(s) accumulating the records or
indicates agency-wide applicability in
the case of schedules that cover records
that may be accumulated throughout an
agency. This notice provides the control
number assigned to each schedule, the
total number of schedule items, and the
number of temporary items (the records
proposed for destruction). It also
includes a brief description of the
temporary records. The records
schedule itself contains a full
description of the records at the file unit
level as well as their disposition. If
NARA staff has prepared an appraisal
memorandum for the schedule, it too
includes information about the records.
Further information about the
disposition process is available on
request.

of Opportunity To Make Limited
Appearance Statements
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
August 3, 2007.
Before Administrative Judges: Michael
C. Farrar, Chairman, Nicholas G.
Trikouros, Lawrence G. McDade.
This proceeding involves the
September 2006 application of Shaw
AREVA MOX Services (MOX Services,
or Applicant) for a license to possess
and use byproduct, source, and special
nuclear materials at the Mixed Oxide
Fuel Fabrication Facility (MFFF) at the
Department of Energy’s Savannah River
Site, which lies south of Aiken, South
Carolina, and extends to the Georgia
border. This Atomic Safety and
Licensing Board hereby gives NOTICE
that it will, on Wednesday, August 22,
2007, in Augusta, Georgia, be hearing
oral argument from the formal
participants in the proceeding regarding
the petition to intervene that has been
submitted by three organizations.
Information about that oral argument
appears in Section A below.
In addition, the Board gives notice
that, in accordance with 10 CFR
2.315(a), it will entertain oral ‘‘limited
appearance’’ statements from members
of the public in North Augusta, South
Carolina, on the evening of Tuesday,
August 21, 2007. Information about
these statements appears in Section B
below.
This matter began on March 15, 2007,
when the Commission published a
notice of acceptance for docketing of the
MOX Services license application and a
notice of opportunity to request a
hearing on the application. 72 FR 12,204
(Mar. 15, 2007). Thereafter, a ‘‘Petition
for Intervention and Request for
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 211001
Hearing’’ (hereinafter Petition) was
timely filed on May 14, 2007, by a group
of three organizations (collectively,
Petitioners): The Blue Ridge
Environmental Defense League
(BREDL), Nuclear Watch South (NWS),1
and the Nuclear Information Service
(NIRS).
On June 5, 2007, this Atomic Safety
and Licensing Board was established to
conduct this adjudication.2 As part of
that process, this Board will now hear
oral argument on the standing of the
Petitioners to intervene in this
proceeding and on the admissibility of
the five contentions they submitted as
part of the petition to intervene.
A. Nature, Timing, and Location of Oral
Argument
The oral argument is currently
scheduled to cover two categories of
issues: Standing and contention
admissibility. The Petitioners have
claimed representational standing on
behalf of their members who reside
within 50 miles of the proposed facility,
a claim that is disputed by the
Applicant and by the NRC Staff. The
Petitioners have also submitted five
contentions, which they list in summary
as follows:
(1) Whether MOX Services’ License
Application and/or EIS meet the relevant
requirements in the National Environmental
Policy Act and/or the Clean Air Act because
of failures to address critical aspects
regarding limits on emissions of hazardous
air pollutants necessary for the protection of
public health and safety;
(2) Whether MOX Services License
Application meets the relevant requirements
of the Atomic Energy Act because of its
failure to prepare and submit an emergency
plan to the NRC for potential radioactive
releases to the public;
(3) Whether the Final Environmental
Impact Statement on the construction and
operation of a plutonium fuel factory is
adequate to satisfy the requirements of NEPA
and NRC implementing regulations because
it fails to address new and significant
information showing that neither MOX
Services nor the U.S. Department of Energy
(‘‘DOE’’) has any concrete plans for the Waste
Solidification Building (‘‘WSB’’) that was
proposed in the EIS and, as a result, highalpha liquid waste from the proposed facility
may have to be stored onsite posing hazards
which have not been addressed by the NRC
in the EIS;
(4) Whether the License Application for the
proposed plutonium processing facility is
inadequate because it does not address safety

Georgians Against Nuclear Energy (GANE) and
participated in the prior proceeding related to this
facility under that name.

subsequently reconstituted, pursuant to 10 CFR

judges. 72 FR 40,344 (July 24, 2007).

and public health risks posed by indefinite
storage of liquid high-alpha waste at the site
or contain measures for the safe storage of
that waste; and
(5) Whether the Final Environmental
Impact Statement for the proposed
plutonium processing facility meets the
relevant requirements of NEPA because it
does not evaluate the environmental impacts
of a terrorist attack on the proposed factory.
Petition at 5–6. The Board will hear
argument from counsel for the
Applicant and for the NRC Staff and
from pro se representatives of the
Petitioners regarding the Petitioners’
standing claim and the admissibility of
these contentions under 10 CFR
2.309(f)(1).
The specific date, time, and location
of the oral argument is as follows:
Dates: Wednesday, August 22, 2007.
Location: Courtroom # 2 (Second
Floor), Augusta Federal Courthouse, 600
James Brown Blvd., Augusta, Georgia
30901.
Time: 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m (EDT).
Members of the public are welcome to
attend the oral argument as spectators
(this session is a formal adjudicatory
proceeding open to public observation
but not to public participation those
who wish to participate in other aspects
are invited to offer limited appearance
statements as provided in Section B,
below.) Conduct of members of the
public at NRC adjudicatory proceedings
is governed by 66 FR 31,719 (June 12,
2001), an excerpt from which follows
this notice. In addition, normal federal
courthouse security procedures will be
followed.
Attendees are strongly advised to
arrive sufficiently early to allow time to
pass through a security screening
checkpoint. Further, in the interest of
permitting prompt access to the hearing
room, attendees are requested to refrain
from bringing any unnecessary handcarried items. (Items such as packages,
briefcases, and backpacks may need to
be examined individually, and items
that could readily be used as weapons
will not be permitted in the hearing
room.) There will be no facilities
available for storing any items outside
the hearing room, and attendees with
items requiring inspection may be
delayed in obtaining entry.

NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION
Records Schedules; Availability and Request for Comments
AGENCY: National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).
ACTION: Notice of availability of proposed records schedules; request
for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA)
publishes notice at least once monthly of certain Federal agency
requests for records disposition authority (records schedules). Once
approved by NARA, records schedules provide mandatory instructions on
what happens to records when no longer needed for current Government
business. They authorize the preservation of records of continuing
value in the National Archives of the United States and the
destruction, after a specified period, of records lacking
administrative, legal, research, or other value. Notice is published
for records schedules in which agencies propose to destroy records not
previously authorized for disposal or reduce the retention period of
records already authorized for disposal. NARA invites public comments
on such records schedules, as required by 44 U.S.C. 3303a(a).
DATES: Requests for copies must be received in writing on or before
September 10, 2007 (Note that the new time period for requesting copies
has changed from 45 to 30 days after publication). Once the appraisal
of the records is completed, NARA will send a copy of the schedule.
NARA staff usually prepare appraisal memorandums that contain
additional information concerning the records covered by a proposed
schedule. These, too, may be requested and will be provided once the
appraisal is completed. Requesters will be given 30 days to submit
comments.
ADDRESSES: You may request a copy of any records schedule identified in
this notice by contacting the Life Cycle Management Division (NWML)
using one of the following means:
Mail: NARA (NWML), 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD 20740-6001.
E-mail: requestschedule@nara.gov.
FAX: 301-837-3698.
Requesters must cite the control number, which appears in
parentheses after the name of the agency which submitted the schedule,
and must provide a mailing address. Those who desire appraisal reports
should so indicate in their request.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Laurence Brewer, Director, Life Cycle
Management Division (NWML), National Archives and Records
Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD 20740-6001.
Telephone: 301-837-1539. E-mail: records.mgt@nara.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each year Federal agencies create billions
of records on paper, film, magnetic tape, and other media. To control
this accumulation, agency records managers prepare schedules proposing
retention periods for records and submit these schedules for NARA's
approval, using the Standard Form (SF) 115, Request for Records
Disposition Authority. These schedules provide for the timely transfer
into the National Archives of historically valuable records and
authorize the disposal of all other records after the agency no longer
needs them to conduct its business. Some schedules are comprehensive
and cover all the records of an agency or one of its major
subdivisions. Most schedules, however, cover records of only one office
or program or a few series of records. Many of these update previously
approved schedules, and some include records proposed as permanent.
No Federal records are authorized for destruction without the
approval of the Archivist of the United States. This approval is
granted only after a thorough consideration of their administrative use
by the agency of origin, the rights of the Government and of private
persons directly affected by the Government's activities, and whether
or not they have historical or other value.
Besides identifying the Federal agencies and any subdivisions
requesting disposition authority, this public notice lists the
organizational unit(s) accumulating the records or indicates agency-
wide applicability in the case of schedules that cover records that may
be accumulated throughout an agency. This notice provides the control
number assigned to each schedule, the total number of schedule items,
and the number of temporary items (the records proposed for
destruction). It also includes a brief description of the temporary
records. The records schedule itself contains a full description of the
records at the file unit level as well as their disposition. If NARA
staff has prepared an appraisal memorandum for the schedule, it too
includes information about the records. Further information about the
disposition process is available on request.

are landmark cases, including cases resulting in a legal precedent that
establishes or affirms agency policy with respect to environmental
actions of national importance, for which paper recordkeeping copies
previously were approved as permanent.
10. Environmental Protection Agency (N1-412-07-25, 4 items, 2
temporary items). This schedule authorizes the agency to apply the
proposed disposition instructions to any recordkeeping medium. Included
are Superfund and Brownfields site assessment files, comprising site-
specific records, including site discovery, preliminary assessment,
site investigation and hazard ranking system package documents and
other records, related to sites investigated for listing on the
National Priorities List and the Brownfields program. Proposed for
permanent retention are files for sites placed on the National
Priorities List and for sites warranting a removal action, for which
paper recordkeeping copies previously were approved as permanent.
11. National Archives and Records Administration, Government-wide
(N1-GRS-07-1, 3 items, 3 temporary items). Addition to the General
Records Schedules covering records relating to the planning,
implementation, operation, audit or monitoring, reorganization or
termination, and transaction interoperability of a public key
infrastructure (PKI) system.
12. National Archives and Records Administration, Government-wide
(N1-GRS-07-4, 11 items, 7 temporary items). Revision to General Records
Schedule 20, Items 2, 3, and 11. The schedule revises Item 2a to
provide disposal authority for non-electronic documents that are used
to create electronic records, and also records not created solely for
that purpose, such as reports, correspondence, memorandums, and other
records that are scanned into an electronic recordkeeping system.
Proposed revised Item 3 provides coverage for electronic records that
replace temporary hard copy records covered by previously approved
schedules that do not explicitly exclude electronic records. Revised
GRS 20, Item 11, provides disposition instruction for documentation
associated with electronic records. Proposed for permanent retention
are hardcopy documents that NARA has specifically designated as
permanent records that must be transferred to NARA in hard copy format,
even if records have been copies/converted to an electronic format;
hardcopy records previously approved as permanent that are converted to
electronic records where the electronic records do not meet NARA's
transfer standards for permanent electronic records in effect at the
time of conversion; electronic records that replace hard copy records
approved as permanent in a previously approved schedule; and
documentation relating to electronic records that are scheduled for
permanent retention in the GRS or in a NARA-approved agency schedule.

Security
