isotope analysis.
The applicant requests a modification
of his permit to allow collection of
modern biological specimens (bones
and teeth of marine mammal and
penguins) for destructive isotope
analysis to look at the carbon (and
perhaps nitrogen) isotopes, date if

Description of Permit Modification
Requested: The Foundation issued a
permit (2009–013) to Dr. Robert Pitman
on October 10, 2008. The issued permit
allows the applicant to study movement
patterns, diet preferences and genetics
of Antarctic Killer whales, Minke
whales and Humpback whales.
The applicant will be working in the
Antarctic Peninsula studying Killer
whales and attends to collect bits of
their prey which sometimes floats to the
surface. The applicant requests a
modification of his permit to allow
collection of unidentified prey items
(mostly marine mammals but possibly
penguins) so they can be genetically
identified in the lab.
Location: Waters in the vicinity of the
Antarctic Peninsula.
Dates: December 25, 2008 to
December 31, 2013.

Containment Isolation Valve
Completion Times (TSTF–498,
Revision 1, for Babcock & Wilcox
Plants)
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory
Commission.
ACTION: Notice of Availability.
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that
the staff of the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) has prepared a
model safety evaluation (SE) relating to
the modification of technical
specification (TS) 3.6.3, Containment
Isolation Valves associated with
implementation of BAW–2461–A,
‘‘Risk-Informed Justification for
Containment Isolation Valve Allowed
Outage Time Change.’’ The NRC staff
has also prepared a model license
amendment request and a model nosignificant-hazards consideration
(NSHC) determination relating to this
matter. The purpose of these models is
to permit the NRC to efficiently process
amendments that propose to modify TS
Completion Times (CTs) for CIVs.
Licensees of nuclear power reactors to
which the models apply can then
request amendments after confirming
