Millstone 3 SPU is bounded by the
analysis of the environmental effects of
the transportation of fuel and waste as
described in the ‘‘Extended Burnup Fuel
Use in Commercial [Light Water
Reactors] LWRs; Environmental
Assessment and Finding of No
Significant Impact,’’ dated February 29,
1988 (53 FR 6040).
sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
Summary
Based on the NRC staff review of
licensee’s submission, it is concluded
that the proposed SPU would not result
in a significant increase in occupational
or public radiation exposure, and would
not result in significant additional fuel
cycle environmental impacts.
Accordingly, the NRC staff concludes
that there would be no significant
radiological environmental impacts
associated with the proposed action.
Environmental Impacts of the
Alternatives to the Proposed Action
As an alternative to the proposed
action, the NRC staff considered denial
of the proposed SPU (i.e., the ‘‘noaction’’ alternative). Denial of the
application would result in no change
in the current environmental impacts.
However, if the proposed SPU were not
approved, other agencies and electric
power organizations may be required to
pursue alternative means of providing
electric generation capacity to offset the
increased power demand forecasted for
the ISO–NE regional transmission
territory.
A reasonable alternative to the
proposed SPU would be to purchase
power from other generators in the ISO–
NE network. In 2008, generating
capacity in ISO–NE consisted primarily
of Combined-cycle generators:
combined-cycle generated 37.8 percent
of ISO–NE capacity; fossil—29.9
percent; nuclear—13.6 percent;
hydroelectric—10.4 percent;
combustion turbine—7.4 percent;
diesel—0.7 percent; and
miscellaneous—0.2 percent. This
indicates that the majority of purchased
power in the ISO–NE territory would
likely be generated by a combined-cycle
facility. Construction (if new generation
is needed) and operation of a combinedcycle plant would create impacts in air
quality, land use, and waste
management significantly greater than
those identified for the proposed SPU at
Millstone 3. Millstone 3 does not emit
sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon
dioxide, or other atmospheric pollutants
that are commonly associated with
combined-cycle plants. Conservation
programs such as demand-side
management could feasibly replace the
proposed SPU’s additional power

output. However, forecasted future
energy demand in the ISO–NE territory
may exceed conservation savings and
still require additional generating
capacity. Furthermore, the proposed
SPU does not involve environmental
impacts that are significantly different
from those originally identified in the
1984 Millstone Power Station FES for
operation.
Alternative Use of Resources
The action does not involve the use of
any different resources than those
previously considered in the ‘‘Final
Environmental Statement Related to the
Operation of Millstone Nuclear Power
Station, Unit 3,’’ dated December 1984,
or the ‘‘Generic Environmental Impact
Statement for License Renewal of
Nuclear Power Plants: Regarding
Millstone Power Station, Units 2 and 3,’’
dated July 2005.
Agencies and Persons Consulted
In accordance with its stated policy,
on July 11, 2008, via electronic mail,
(Agencywide Documents Access and
Management System (ADAMS)
Accession No. ML081980598), the NRC
staff consulted with the Connecticut
State Official, Mr. Denny Galloway of
the Department of Environmental
Protection, regarding the environmental
impact of the proposed action. The state
official did not submit comments.
Finding of No Significant Impact
On the basis of the environmental
assessment, the NRC concludes that the
proposed action will not have a
significant effect on the quality of the
human environment. Accordingly, the
NRC has determined not to prepare an
environmental impact statement for the
proposed action.
For further details with respect to the
proposed action, see the licensee’s letter
dated July 13, 2007, as supplemented by
letters dated July 13, September 12,

Proclamation 8213, as modified by
Proclamation 8272, the President
modified the HTS to implement the
Amendment with respect to the
CAFTA–DR parties. These
modifications are set forth in sections A,
B, and C of the Annex to Proclamation
8213, as modified by paragraph 2 of
Annex VI to Proclamation 8272.
Proclamations 8213 and 8272 provide
for these modifications to enter into
effect on the date, as announced by the
USTR in the Federal Register, that the
Amendment enters into force, and to be
effective with respect to goods entered,
or withdrawn from warehouse for
consumption, on or after that date. I
anticipate that the Amendment will
enter into force on August 15, 2008.
Accordingly, I announce that these
modifications to the HTS shall enter
into effect on August 15, 2008.
2. Rule of Origin for Woven Apparel
Section 203(o) of the CAFTA–DR
Implementation Act (19 U.S.C. 4033(o))
authorizes the President to proclaim, as
part of the HTS, the provisions set out
in Annex 4.1 of the CAFTA–DR. Among
these provisions is a rule of origin set
out in Appendix 4.1–B of the CAFTA–
DR that provides, subject to certain
conditions, for Mexican and Canadian
inputs to be treated as though they
originated in a CAFTA–DR country for
purposes of determining whether
certain woven apparel imported into the
United States qualifies for duty-free
treatment under the agreement. In
Proclamation 8213, as modified by
Proclamation 8272, the President
modified the HTS to implement this
rule of origin. These modifications are
set forth in section D of the Annex to
Proclamation 8213, as modified by
paragraph 1 of Annex VI to
Proclamation 8272.
Proclamations 8213 and 8272 provide
for these modifications to the HTS to
enter into effect on the date, as
announced by the USTR in the Federal
Register, that the Amendment enters
into force and the conditions set forth in
paragraph (a), paragraph (b), or both, of
footnote 1 to Appendix 4.1–B of the
CAFTA–DR have been fulfilled, and to
be effective with respect to goods
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse
for consumption, on or after that date.
I anticipate that the Amendment will
enter into force on August 15, 2008. In
addition, all of the conditions set forth
in paragraph (a) of footnote 1 to
Appendix 4.1–B of the CAFTA–DR have
been fulfilled and therefore the rule of
origin may enter into force with respect
to woven apparel containing materials
produced in Mexico. Accordingly, I
announce that these modifications to
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Applicants’ Representations
1. The Fund is a registered closed-end
management investment company
organized as a Maryland corporation.
The Fund’s primary investment
objectives are current income and longterm growth of income, with a
secondary objective of capital
appreciation.1 The Fund’s common
stock is listed on the New York Stock
Exchange, and the Fund’s preferred
stock is not listed on any exchange.
Applicants believe that the Fund’s
shareholders are generally conservative,
income-sensitive investors who desire
steady distributions of income and who
will favor a distribution policy with
respect to its common stock.
2. The Adviser is registered under the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and is
responsible for the overall management
of the Fund and other registered
investment companies and institutional
accounts.
3. Applicants represent that on
February 21, 2007, the Board of
Directors (the ‘‘Board’’) of the Fund,
including a majority of the directors
who are not ‘‘interested persons’’ of the
Fund as defined in section 2(a)(19) of
the Act (the ‘‘Independent Directors’’),
reviewed information regarding the
purpose and terms of a proposed
distribution policy, the likely effects of
such policy on the Fund’s long-term
total return (in relation to market price
and net asset value (‘‘NAV’’) per
common share) and the relationship
between the Fund’s distribution rate on
its common shares under the policy and
the Fund’s total return on NAV per
share. Applicants state that the
1 Applicants request that any order issued
granting the relief requested in the application also
apply to any closed-end investment company that
in the future: (a) is advised by the Adviser
(including any successor in interest) or by any
