—Environmental Justice: Addressing the
potential disproportionately high and
adverse impacts to minority and lowincome populations; and
—Cumulative Effects: Addressing the
impacts from past, present, and
reasonably foreseeable actions at and
near the site.
The examples under each resource
areas are not intended to be all
inclusive, nor is this list an indication
that environmental impacts will occur.
The list is presented to facilitate
comments on the scope of the GEIS.
Additions to, or deletions from, this list
may occur as a result of the public
scoping process.
3.0 Environmental Impact Areas To
Be Analyzed
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
Under this alternative the NRC would
not approve future license applications.
This alternative serves as a baseline for
comparison of the potential
environmental impacts.
Proposed action—The proposed
action is the construction, operation,
and decommissioning of an ISL
uranium mill. Implementation of the
proposed action would require the
issuance of an NRC license under the
provisions of 10 CFR part 40.
Alternatives—The conventional
milling process is one alternative. Other
alternatives not listed in this notice may
be identified through the scoping
process.
4.0
The following resource areas have
been tentatively identified for analysis
in the GEIS:
—Public and Occupational Health:
addressing the potential public and
occupational consequences from
construction, routine operation,
transportation, and credible accident
scenarios (including natural events),
and decommissioning;
—Waste Management: addressing the
types of wastes expected to be
generated, handled, stored or subject
to re-use or disposal;
—Land Use: addressing land use plans,
policies and controls;
—Transportation: addressing the
transportation modes, routes,
quantities, and risk estimates;
—Geology and Soils: addressing the
physical geography, topography,
geology and soil characteristics;
—Water Resources: addressing the
surface and ground water hydrology,
water use and quality, and the
potential for degradation;
—Ecology: addressing wetlands, aquatic,
terrestrial, economically and
recreationally important species, and
threatened and endangered species;
—Air Quality: addressing
meteorological conditions, ambient
background, pollutant sources, and
the potential for degradation;
—Noise: addressing ambient noises,
sources, and sensitive receptors;
—Historical and Cultural Resources:
addressing historical, archaeological,
and traditional cultural resources;
—Visual and Scenic Resources:
Addressing landscape characteristics,
man-made features and viewshed;
—Socioeconomics: Addressing the
demography, economic base, labor
pool, housing, transportation,
utilities, public services/facilities,
education, recreation, and cultural
resources;

6.0 The NEPA Process
The GEIS will be prepared according
to NEPA and NRC’s NEPA
implementing regulations contained in
10 CFR part 51.
After the scoping process is complete,
the NRC will prepare a draft GEIS. The
draft GEIS is scheduled to be published
by April 2008. A public comment
period on the draft GEIS is planned, and
public meetings to receive comments
will be held approximately 3 weeks
after publication of the draft GEIS.
Availability of the draft GEIS, the
dates of the public comment period on
the draft GEIS, and information about
the public comment meetings will be
announced in the Federal Register, on
NRC’s Web page, and in the local news
media. The final GEIS is expected to be
published in January 2009 and will
address, as appropriate, the public
comments received on the draft GEIS.
Tiering refers to the coverage of
general matters in broader
environmental impact statements with
subsequent narrower statements or
environmental analyses incorporating
by reference the general discussions and
concentrating solely on the issues
specific to the narrower statement (40
CFR 1508.28). The NRC intends to use
the GEIS to address common issues
associated with environmental reviews
of ISL uranium milling facilities located
in the western United States and then
develop site-specific environmental
assessments or site-specific
environmental impact statements which
will tier off the common issues
identified and evaluated in the GEIS.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 29th day
of October, 2007.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Larry W. Camper,
Director, Division of Waste Management and
Environmental Protection, Office of Federal
and State Materials and Environmental
Management Programs.

Scoping Comments
Scoping is an early and open process
designed to determine the range of
actions, alternatives, and potential
impacts to be considered in the GEIS,
and to identify the significant issues
related to the proposed action. Scoping
is intended to solicit input from the
public and other agencies so that the
analysis can be more clearly focused on
issues of genuine concern.
Written comments should be mailed
to the address listed above in the
ADDRESSES section. Scoping comments
may also be submitted electronically via
email to NRCREP@nrc.gov. Please refer
to the ‘‘Uranium Recovery GEIS’’ when
submitting comments. The NRC staff
will prepare a scoping summary report,
in which it will summarize public
comments. The NRC will make the
scoping summary report and projectrelated materials, along with other
relevant information on the GEIS,
available at an NRC Web site, https://
www.nrc.gov/materials/fuel-cycle-fac/
licensing/geis.html so that the public
can keep abreast of the current schedule
and progress on the development of the
GEIS.

II. Description of the Proposal
Amex Rules 1000A–AEMI and
1001A–1005A provide standards for the
listing of Index Fund Shares, which are
securities issued by an open-end
management investment company for
exchange trading. These securities are
registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as well as under
the Act. Index Fund Shares are defined
in Amex Rule 1000A–AEMI(b)(1)
generally as securities based on a
portfolio of stocks or fixed income
securities that seek to provide
investment results that correspond
generally to the price and yield of a
specified foreign or domestic stock
index or fixed income securities index.
Amex Rule 1000A–AEMI(b)(2) permits
the Exchange to list and trade Index
Fund Shares that seek to provide
investment results that exceed the
performance of an underlying securities
index by a specified multiple or that
seek to provide investment results that
correspond to a specified multiple of the
inverse or opposite of the index’s
performance.5
The Exchange proposes to list and
trade under Amex Rule 1000A–AEMI
shares (the ‘‘Shares’’) of forty-five new
funds of the Rydex ETF Trust (the
‘‘Trust’’) that are designated as the
Rydex Leveraged Funds (the ‘‘Leveraged
Funds’’), Rydex Inverse Funds (the
‘‘Inverse Funds’’), and Rydex Leveraged
Inverse Funds (the ‘‘Leveraged Inverse
Funds,’’ and together with the
Leveraged Funds and Inverse Funds,
collectively, the ‘‘Funds’’). Each of the
