that a person is not required to respond
to, a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number. The NRC published a Federal
Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period on this information collection on
March 28, 2008.
1. Type of submission, new, revision,

4. The form number if applicable: Not
applicable.
5. How often the collection is
required: Required reports are collected
and evaluated on a continuing basis as
events occur; submittal of reports varies
from less than one per year under some
rule sections to up to an average of
about 100 per year under other rule
sections. Applications for new licenses,
certificates of compliance (CoCs), and
amendments may be submitted at
anytime; applications for renewal of
licenses are required every 20 years for
an Independent Spent Fuel Storage
Installation (ISFSI) or Certificate of
Compliance (CoC) and every 40 years
for a Monitored Retrievable Storage
(MRS) facility.
6. Who will be required or asked to
report: Certificate holders of casks for
the storage of spent fuel; licensees and
applicants for a CoC or a license to
possess power reactor spent fuel and
other radioactive materials associated
with spent fuel storage in an ISFSI; and
the Department of Energy for licenses to
receive, transfer, package and possess
power reactor spent fuel, high-level
waste, and other radioactive materials
associated with spent fuel and highlevel waste storage in an MRS.
7. An estimate of the number of
annual responses: 370 (320 responses +
50 recordkeepers).
8. The estimated number of annual
respondents: 50.
9. An estimate of the total number of
hours needed annually to complete the
requirement or request: 25,551 (22,781
hours for reporting [71 hours per
response] and 2,770 hours for
recordkeeping [55 hours per
recordkeeper]).
10. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 72

procedures, and criteria for the issuance
of licenses to receive, transfer, and

[Docket Nos. 50–445 AND 50–446]
Luminant Generation Company, LLC;
Comanche Peak Steam Electric
Station, Units 1 and 2; Final
Environmental Assessment and
Finding of No Significant Impact
Related To the Proposed License
Amendment To Increase the Maximum
Reactor Power Level
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC).
SUMMARY: As required by Title 10 of the
Code of Federal Regulations 10 CFR part
51, the NRC has prepared a final
Environmental Assessment (EA)
associated with its evaluation of a
request by the TXU Generation
Company, LP (subsequently renamed
Luminant Generation Company, LLC,
the licensee), for a license amendment
to increase the maximum thermal power
at the Comanche Peak Steam Electric
Station (CPSES), Units 1 and 2, from
3458 megawatts thermal (MWt) to 3612
MWt at each unit. The NRC staff did not
identify any significant impact from the
information provided in the licensee’s
stretch power uprate (SPU) application
for CPSES, Units 1 and 2 or from the
NRC staff’s independent review. The
final EA and Finding of No Significant
Impact are being published in the
Federal Register.
The NRC published a draft EA and
finding of no significant impact on the
proposed action for public comment in
the Federal Register on April 30, 2008
(73 FR 23503). No comments were
received.
AGENCY:
Environmental Assessment
The NRC is considering issuance of an
amendment to Facility Operating
License Nos. NPF–87 and NPF–89,
PO 00000
Frm 00054
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

issued to Luminant Generation
Company, LLC, for operation of the
CPSES, Units 1 and 2, located in
Somervell County, Texas. Therefore,
consistent with Section 51.21 of Title 10
of the Code of Federal Regulations (10
CFR), the NRC is issuing this final EA
and finding of no significant impact.
Identification of the Proposed Action
The proposed action would revise the
CPSES, Units 1 and 2 operating licenses
and technical specifications (TSs) to
increase the licensed rated power by 4.5
percent from 3458 MWt to 3612 MWt.
The proposed action is in accordance
with the licensee’s application dated
August 28, 2007, as supplemented by
letters dated October 24, November 7,
and December 3, 2007, January 10, 29,
and 31, February 21, 26, and 28, March
6, April 17, and May 14, 2008. The
letters dated April 17, and May 14,
2008, were received after issuance of the
Draft EA, provided supplemental
clarifying information, but did not have
any impact on the Draft EA.
The Need for the Proposed Action
The proposed action permits an
increase in the licensed core thermal
power from 3458 MWt to 3612 MWt for
the CPSES, Units 1 and 2, providing the
flexibility to obtain a higher electrical
output from the CPSES, Units 1 and 2.
Environmental Impacts of the Proposed
Action
The licensee has submitted an
environmental evaluation supporting
the proposed SPU and provided a
summary of its conclusions concerning
the radiological and non-radiological
environmental impacts of the proposed
action.
Radiological Impacts
The licensee evaluated the impacts of
the proposed SPU on radioactive liquid
waste production, processing, discharge
into the environment, resultant dose to
members of the public, and impact to
Squaw Creek Reservoir (SCR). There
will be an increase (approximately 6.5
percent for long-lived activity) in the
equilibrium radioactivity in the reactor
coolant, which in turn will result in a
maximum increase of 6.5 percent in the
radioactivity content of the liquid
releases. Tritium levels are also
expected to increase by 6.5 percent in
the discharged liquid. This will result in
increased aqueous tritium
concentrations in the SCR.
The evaluation shows that even with
the small increase in the radioactivity
being discharged into the environment,
the projected dose to the maximally
exposed member of the public, while
