May 8, 2008.
On April 3, 2008, the Commission
issued a notice stating that, effective
April 3, 2008, it would issue a separate
combined notice of filing for initial
electric market-based rate authorization
filings.
Upon further consideration, and
effective upon the date of issuance of
this supplemental notice, the
Commission instead will include initial
electric market-based rate authorization
filings along with other filings in a
combined notice of filing. However,
once it is determined that an initial
electric market-based rate authorization
filing includes a request for blanket
authorization, pursuant 18 CFR Part 34,
of future issuances of securities and
assumptions of liability, it will issue a
separate supplemental notice.
By this initiative, the Commission
seeks to expedite the process for
noticing initial electric market-based

ACTION: Notice of Availability.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: NNSA announces the
availability of the Final Site-Wide
Environmental Impact Statement for
Continued Operation of Los Alamos
National Laboratory, Los Alamos, New
Mexico (Final SWEIS) (DOE/EIS–0380).
The Final SWEIS analyzes the potential
environmental impacts of continuing to
operate Los Alamos National Laboratory
(LANL) and addresses public comments
received on the Draft SWEIS. NNSA’s
Preferred Alternative for LANL, as
identified in the Draft and Final SWEIS,
is the Expanded Operations Alternative.
The Final SWEIS also evaluates a No
Action Alternative and a Reduced
Operations Alternative.
DATES: NNSA will not issue Records of
Decision based on the SWEIS before 30
days have passed from the publication
of this notice of availability.
ADDRESSES: A copy of the Final SWEIS
may be obtained by writing to: U.S.

or leave a message at 1–800–472–2756.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
primary purpose and need for continued
operation of LANL is to provide support
for DOE and NNSA core missions as
directed by Congress and the President.
NNSA’s need to continue operating
LANL arises from its obligation to
ensure a safe and reliable nuclear
weapons stockpile. LANL is also needed
to support other Federal agencies,
including the Department of Homeland
Security. The Final SWEIS analyzed the
environmental impacts of operating
LANL at different levels. LANL is
located in north-central New Mexico
and covers an area of about 40 square
miles (104 square kilometers). It was
established in 1943 as ‘‘Project Y’’ of the
Manhattan Project with a single
mission—to build the world’s first
nuclear weapons. After World War II
ended, Project Y was designated a
permanent research and development
laboratory and its work was expanded to
incorporate a wide variety of
assignments in support of other
government and civilian programs.
LANL is now a multi-disciplinary,
multipurpose institution engaged in
theoretical and experimental research
and development.
DOE issued a Final SWEIS and
Record of Decision in 1999 for the
continued operation of the laboratory.
DOE regulations implementing NEPA
require the evaluation of site-wide
NEPA analyses every five years to
determine their continued applicability;
such a five-year evaluation was initiated
for the 1999 SWEIS in 2004, and NNSA
subsequently decided to prepare a new
SWEIS. A new Draft SWEIS was issued
in July 2006 for public review and
comment over a 75-day period. NNSA
considered the comments received on
