Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 51 / Wednesday, March 18, 2009 / Notices
there is no impact on VY’s safe
shutdown capability by this reduction
in separation.
Environmental Impacts of the Proposed
Action
The NRC has completed its safety
evaluation (SE) of the proposed action
and concludes that the further reduction
in minimum separation distance is
sufficient to maintain an adequate level
of safety to meet the requirements of 10
CFR 50.12(a)(2)(ii) in that the
application of the regulation is not
necessary to achieve the underlying
purpose of the rule. The details of the
staff’s SE will be provided in the
exemption that will be issued as part of
the letter to the licensee approving the
exemption.
The proposed action will not
significantly increase the probability or
consequences of accidents. No changes
are being made in the types of effluents
that may be released off site. There is no
significant increase in the amount of
any effluent released off site. There is no
significant increase in occupational or
public radiation exposure. Therefore,
there are no significant radiological
environmental impacts associated with
the proposed action.
With regard to potential nonradiological impacts, the proposed
action does not have a potential to affect
any historic sites. It does not affect nonradiological plant effluents and has no
other environmental impact. Therefore,
there are no significant non-radiological
environmental impacts associated with
the proposed action.
Accordingly, the NRC concludes that
there are no significant 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 action (i.e., the ‘‘noaction’’ alternative). Denial of the
application would result in no change
in current environmental impacts. The
environmental impacts of the proposed
action and the alternative action are
similar.

Alternative Use of Resources
The action does not involve the use of
any different resources than those
previously considered in the Final
Environmental Statement for VY.
Agencies and Persons Consulted
In accordance with its stated policy,
on January 15, 2009, the NRC staff
consulted with the Vermont State
official of the Vermont Department of
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
Public Service regarding the
environmental impact of the proposed
action. The State official had no
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.

proposed action, see the licensee’s letter

United States Trade Representative
PO 00000

(‘Trade Representative’) announced
modifications (‘January 15
modifications’) to the action taken in
July 1999 in connection with the World
Trade Organization (‘‘WTO’’)
authorization to the United States in the
EC-Beef Hormones dispute to suspend
concessions and related obligations with
respect to the European Communities
(‘‘EC’’). See 74 FR 4265 (Jan. 23, 2009).
The January 15 modifications had an
effective date of March 23, 2009. In
order to allow additional time to reach
agreement with the EC on an interim
solution that would provide benefits to
the U.S. beef industry, the Trade
Representative has decided to delay for
one month (until April 23, 2009) the
effective date of the additional duties
imposed under the January 15
modifications. The effective date of the
removal of duties under the January 15
modifications will remain March 23,
2009.
Effective Date: As set out in Annex I
to this notice, the removal of duties on
items deleted from the product list
under the January 15 modifications
shall be effective with respect to
products that are entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after March 23, 2009. As set out in
Annex II to this notice, the additional
duties under the January 15
modifications shall be effective with
respect to products that are entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after April 23, 2009.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Roger Wentzel, Director, Agricultural
Affairs, (202) 395–6127 or David
Weiner, Director for the European
Union, (202) 395–4620 for questions
concerning the EC-Beef Hormones
dispute; or William Busis, Associate
General Counsel and Chair of the
Section 301 Committee, (202) 395–3150,
for questions concerning procedures
under Section 301.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For
background concerning the EC-Beef
Hormones WTO dispute and the January
15 modifications, see 74 FR 4265 (Jan.
23, 2009).
In the January 15 modifications, the
Trade Representative decided: (1) To
remove some products from the list of
products currently subject to 100
percent ad valorem duties; (2) to impose
100 percent ad valorem duties on some
new products from certain EC member
States; (3) to modify the coverage with
respect to particular EC member States;
and (4) to raise the level of duties on
one of the products that is being
maintained on the product list.
Pursuant to Section 305 of the Trade
Act of 1974, the Trade Representative
E:\FR\FM\18MRN1.SGM
18MRN1
11614
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 51 / Wednesday, March 18, 2009 / Notices
has determined that a one-month delay
(until April 23, 2009) in implementation
of certain elements of the January 15
modifications would be desirable to
obtain a satisfactory solution with
respect to the EC’s ban on U.S. beef. The
elements to be delayed are: (i) The
imposition of increased duties on
additional products, (ii) the application
to products of additional EC member
States of the increased duties on
currently covered products, and (iii) the
increase in the level of duties on one of
the products that is being maintained on
the product list. The Trade
Representative has not delayed the
March 23, 2009 effective date of the
removal of duties under the January 15
modifications.
As set out in Annex I to this notice,
the removal of duties on items deleted
from the product list under the January
15 modifications shall be effective with
respect to products that are entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after March 23,
2009. Any merchandise covered under
Part D of Annex I that is admitted to a
U.S. foreign-trade zone on or after
March 23, 2009 must be admitted in
‘‘privileged foreign status’’as defined in
19 CFR 146.41. As set out in Annex II

Pursuant to Section 305 of the Trade Act of 1974, the Trade
Representative
[[Page 11614]]
has determined that a one-month delay (until April 23, 2009) in
implementation of certain elements of the January 15 modifications
would be desirable to obtain a satisfactory solution with respect to
the EC's ban on U.S. beef. The elements to be delayed are: (i) The
imposition of increased duties on additional products, (ii) the
application to products of additional EC member States of the increased
duties on currently covered products, and (iii) the increase in the
level of duties on one of the products that is being maintained on the
product list. The Trade Representative has not delayed the March 23,
2009 effective date of the removal of duties under the January 15
modifications.
As set out in Annex I to this notice, the removal of duties on
items deleted from the product list under the January 15 modifications
shall be effective with respect to products that are entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after March 23, 2009.
Any merchandise covered under Part D of Annex I that is admitted to a
U.S. foreign-trade zone on or after March 23, 2009 must be admitted in
``privileged foreign status''as defined in 19 CFR 146.41. As set out in
Annex II to this notice, the full January 15 modifications, including
the additional duties under those modifications, shall be effective
with respect to products that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after April 23, 2009. Any merchandise covered
under Part B of Annex II that is admitted to a U.S. foreign-trade zone
on or after April 23, 2009 must be admitted in ``privileged foreign
status'' as defined in 19 CFR 146.41. Questions concerning customs
matters may be directed to Renee Chovanec, International Coordination,
Office of International Trade, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, 202-
863-6384.
The Annexes to this notice supercede and replace in full the Annex
to the earlier notice published at 74 FR 4265 (Jan. 23, 2009), which
initially put in place the January 15 modifications.
