SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Science Foundation, as
directed by the Antarctic Conservation
Act of 1978 (Pub. L. 95–541), as
amended by the Antarctic Science,
Tourism and Conservation Act of 1996,
has developed regulations for the
establishment of a permit system for
various activities in Antarctica and
designation of certain animals and
certain geographic areas as requiring
special protection. The regulations
establish such a permit system to
designate Antarctic Specially Protected
Areas.
The applications received are as
follows:
1. Applicant: Douglas P. Nowacek,
Duke University, Marine Laboratory,
135 Duke Marine Lab Rd., Beaufort, NC
28516.
Permit Application No.: 2009–014.
Activity for Which Permit Is
Requested: Take. The applicant plans to
approach up to 50 Humpback and
Minke whales each per season to
conduct visual observations, photograph
and attach non-invasive DTags to record
fine-scale movement patterns and
foraging behavior of the whales. An
active release, which corrodes in sea
water, can be timed to release the tag
once data storage is complete. The tags
will be recovered and returned to the
ship. In addition, photography and
observations of the whales will help to
identify individual whales and
determine approximate ages.
Location: Near-shore waters of the
Western Antarctic Peninsula between
Anvers Island and Adelaide Islands.
Dates: February 1, 2009 to June 30,
2010.

Southern Nuclear Operating Company,
Inc., Georgia Power Company,
Oglethorpe Power Corporation,
Municipal Electric Authority of
Georgia, City of Dalton, GA, Vogtle
Electric Generating Plant, Units 1 and
2; Notice of Consideration of Issuance
of Amendment to Facility Operating
License, Proposed No Significant
Hazards Consideration Determination,
and Opportunity for a Hearing and
Order Imposing Procedures for Access
to Sensitive Unclassified NonSafeguards Information
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (the Commission) is
considering issuance of an amendment
to Facility Operating License No. NPF–
68 and NPF–81 issued to the Southern
Nuclear Operating Company, Inc. (the
licensee), acting for itself, Georgia
Power Company, Oglethorpe Power
Corporation, Municipal Electric
Authority of Georgia, and City of Dalton,
Georgia (the owners), for operation of
the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant
(VEGP), Units 1 and 2 (VEGP Units 1
and 2) located in Wayne County,
Georgia.
This amendment application proposes
a one-time steam generator (SG) tubing
eddy current inspection interval
revision to the VEGP Units 1 and 2,
Technical Specifications (TSs) 5.5.9,
‘‘Steam Generator (SG) Program,’’ to
incorporate an interim alternate repair

Frm 00112
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
criterion in the provisions for SG tube
repair criteria during the Unit 2
inspection performed in Refueling
Outage 13 and subsequent operating
cycle. This amendment application
requests approval of an interim alternate
repair criterion (IARC) that requires fulllength inspection of the tubes within the
tubesheet but does not require plugging
tubes if any axial or circumferential
cracking observed in the region greater
than 17 inches below the top of the
tubesheet (TTS) is less than a value
sufficient to permit the remaining
circumferential ligament to transmit the
limiting axial loads. This amendment
application is required to preclude
unnecessary plugging while still
maintaining structural and leakage
integrity.
This amendment application includes
SUNSI (proprietary information). Before
issuance of the proposed license
amendment, the Commission will have
made findings required by the Atomic
Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the
Act), and the Commission’s regulations.
The Commission has made a
proposed determination that the
amendment request involves no
significant hazards consideration. Under
the Commission’s regulations in Title 10
of the Code of Federal Regulations (10
CFR), Section 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. As required by 10 CFR
50.91(a), the licensee has provided its
analysis of the issue of no significant
hazards consideration, which is
presented below:
(1) Does the proposed change involve a
significant increase in the probability or
consequences of an accident previously
evaluated?
Response: No.
Of the various accidents previously
evaluated, the proposed changes only affect
the steam generator tube rupture (SGTR)
event evaluation and the postulated steam
line break (SLB), locked rotor and control rod
ejection accident evaluations. Loss-of-coolant
accident (LOCA) conditions cause a
compressive axial load to act on the tube.
Therefore, since the LOCA tends to force the
tube into the tubesheet rather than pull it out,
it is not a factor in this licensing amendment
request. Another faulted load consideration
is a safe shutdown earthquake (SSE);
however, the seismic analysis of Model F
steam generators has shown that axial
loading of the tubes is negligible during an
SSE.
