740M (Nuclear Material Transaction
Report and Concise Note) and
Associated Instructions (NUREG/BR–
0006)’’
2. Current OMB approval number:
3150–0003.
3. How often the collection is
required: Form 741 is submitted when
specified events occur (nuclear material
or source material transfers, receipts, or
inventory changes). Form 740M is
submitted as necessary to inform the
United States (U.S.) or the International
Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) of any
qualifying statement or exception to any
of the data contained in any of the other
reporting forms required under the U.S./
IAEA Safeguards Agreement.
4. Who is required or asked to report:
Persons licensed to possess specified
quantities of special nuclear material or
source material, any licensee who
imports or exports source material, and
licensees of facilities on the U.S. eligible
list who have been notified in writing
by the Commission that they are subject
to Part 75.
5. The number of annual respondents:
DOE/NRC Form 741 = 398. DOE/NRC
Form 740M = 15.
6. The number of hours needed
annually to complete the requirement or
request: 45,926.
7. Abstract: NRC is required to collect
nuclear material transaction information
for domestic safeguards use and to make
it available to the IAEA. Licensees use
Form 741 to make inventory and
accounting reports for certain source or
special nuclear material, or for transfer
or receipt of 1 kilogram or more of
source material. Licensees use Form
740M to inform the U.S. or the IAEA of
any qualifying statement or exception to
any of the data contained in any of the
other reporting forms required under the
U.S./IAEA Safeguards Agreement. These
forms enable NRC to collect, retrieve,
analyze, and submit the data to IAEA to
fulfill its reporting responsibilities.
Submit, by February 19, 2008,
comments that address the following
questions:
1. Is the proposed collection of
information necessary for the NRC to
properly perform its functions? Does the
information have practical utility?
2. Is the burden estimate accurate?
3. Is there a way to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected?
4. How can the burden of the
information collection be minimized,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology?

NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
Biweekly Notice; Applications and
Amendments to Facility Operating
Licenses Involving No Significant
Hazards Considerations
yshivers on PROD1PC62 with NOTICES
I. Background
Pursuant to section 189a. (2) of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended
(the Act), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (the Commission or NRC
staff) is publishing this regular biweekly
notice. The Act requires the
Commission publish notice of any
amendments issued, or proposed to be
issued and grants the Commission the
authority to issue and make
immediately effective any amendment
to an operating license upon a
determination by the Commission that
such amendment involves no significant
hazards consideration, notwithstanding
the pendency before the Commission of
a request for a hearing from any person.
This biweekly notice includes all
notices of amendments issued, or
proposed to be issued from November
22, 2007, to December 5, 2007. The last
biweekly notice was published on
December 4, 2007 (72 FR 68206).
Notice of Consideration of Issuance of
Amendments to Facility Operating
Licenses, Proposed No Significant
Hazards Consideration Determination,
and Opportunity for a Hearing
The Commission has made a
proposed determination that the
following amendment requests involve
no significant hazards consideration.
Under the Commission’s regulations in
10 CFR 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. The basis for this
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:20 Dec 17, 2007
Jkt 211001
proposed determination for each
amendment request is shown below.
The Commission is seeking public
comments on this proposed
determination. Any comments received
within 30 days after the date of
publication of this notice will be
considered in making any final
determination. Within 60 days after the
date of publication of this notice, the
licensee may file a request for a hearing
with respect to issuance of the
amendment to the subject facility
operating license and any person whose
interest may be affected by this
proceeding and who wishes to
participate as a party in the proceeding
must file a written request for a hearing
and a petition for leave to intervene.
Normally, the Commission will not
issue the amendment until the
expiration of 60 days after the date of
publication of this notice. The
Commission may issue the license
amendment before expiration of the 60day period provided that its final
determination is that the amendment
involves no significant hazards
consideration. In addition, the
Commission may issue the amendment
prior to the expiration of the 30-day
comment period should circumstances
change during the 30-day comment
period such that failure to act in a
timely way would result, for example in
derating or shutdown of the facility.
Should the Commission take action
prior to the expiration of either the
comment period or the notice period, it
will publish in the Federal Register a
notice of issuance. Should the
Commission make a final No Significant
Hazards Consideration Determination,
any hearing will take place after
issuance. The Commission expects that
the need to take this action will occur
very infrequently.
Written comments may be submitted
by mail to the Chief, Rulemaking,
Directives and Editing Branch, Division
of Administrative Services, Office of
Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, Washington, DC 20555–
0001, and should cite the publication
date and page number of this Federal
Register notice. Written comments may
also be delivered to Room 6D22, Two
White Flint North, 11545 Rockville
Pike, Rockville, Maryland, from 7:30
a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Federal workdays.
Copies of written comments received
may be examined at the Commission’s
Public Document Room (PDR), located
at One White Flint North, Public File
Area O1F21, 11555 Rockville Pike (first
floor), Rockville, Maryland. The filing of
requests for a hearing and petitions for
leave to intervene is discussed below.
