NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
[Docket No. NRC–2009–0133]
Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
AGENCY: U. S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC).
ACTION: Notice of pending NRC action to
submit an information collection
request to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) and solicitation of public
comment.
SUMMARY: The NRC invites public
comment about our intention to request
the OMB’s approval for renewal of an
existing information collection that is
summarized below. We are required to
publish this notice in the Federal
Register under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
Information pertaining to the
requirement to be submitted:
1. The Title of the Information
Collection: 10 CFR part 40, Domestic
Licensing of Source Material.
2. Current OMB Approval Number:
3150–0020.
3. How Often the Collection is
Required: On occasion. Reports required
under 10 CFR part 40 are collected and
evaluated on a continuing basis as
events occur. There is a one-time
submittal of information to receive a
license. Renewal applications need to be
submitted every 5 to 10 years.
Information in previous applications
may be referenced without being
resubmitted. In addition, recordkeeping
must be performed on an on-going basis.
NRC Form 484 is submitted
semiannually to report ground-water
data necessary to implement EPA
ground-water standards.
4. Who is Required or Asked to
Report: 10 CFR part 40: Applicants for
and holders of NRC licenses authorizing
the receipt, possession, use, or transfer
of radioactive source and byproduct
material.
5. The Number of Annual
Respondents: 894 (273 NRC Licensees
[68 NRC responses + 205 NRC
Recordkeepers] + 621 Agreement State
Licensees [349 Agreement State
responses + 272 Agreement State
recordkeepers])
6. The Number of Hours Needed
Annually to Complete the Requirement
or Request: 64,214 total hours [20,525
for NRC Licensees (15,823 hours for
reporting and 4,702 hours for
recordkeeping) and 43,689 for
Agreement State Licensees (25,963

hours for reporting and 17,726 hours for
recordkeeping)].
7. Abstract: 10 CFR part 40 establishes
requirements for licenses for the receipt,
possession, use and transfer of
radioactive source and byproduct
material. NRC Form 484 is used to
report certain groundwater monitoring
data required by 10 CFR part 40 for
uranium recovery licensees. The
application, reporting and
recordkeeping requirements are
necessary to permit the NRC to make a
determination on whether the
possession, use, and transfer of source
and byproduct material is in
conformance with the Commission’s
regulations for protection of public
health and safety.
Submit, by May 26, 2009, comments
that address the following questions:
1. Is the proposed collection of
information necessary for the NRC to
properly perform its functions? Does the
information have practical utility?
2. Is the burden estimate accurate?
3. Is there a way to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected?
4. How can the burden of the
information collection be minimized,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology?

NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50–271; NRC–2009–0121]
Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc.;
Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power
Station; Exemption
1.0 Background
Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc.
(Entergy or the licensee) is the holder of
Facility Operating License No. DPR–28,
which authorizes operation of the
Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station
(VY). The license provides, among other
things, that the facility is subject to all
rules, regulations, and orders of the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC
or the Commission) now or hereafter in
effect.
The facility consists of a boiling-water
reactor located in Windham County,
Vermont.
2.0 Request/Action
Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR), Part 50, Section
50.48, requires that nuclear power
plants that were licensed before January
1, 1979, of which VY is one, must
satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR Part
50, Appendix R, Section III.G.2, which
requires to have a minimum of 20 feet
separation between redundant cable
trays.
In an NRC letter dated December 1,
1986, the NRC granted the licensee the
exemption from the provisions of 10
CFR Part 50, Appendix R, Section
III.G.2, which in part permitted a
reduction in minimum separation
distance between cable trays in the
northwest corner of Fire Zone RB–3 of
the reactor building to 18 feet. VY has
identified that the actual minimum
physical separation distance between
the cable trays is actually 17 feet–7.5
inches.
In summary, the letter dated July 11,
2008, Agencywide Documents Access
and Management System (ADAMS)
accession number ML082030154, as
supplemented on November 20, 2008,
PO 00000
Frm 00088
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
ADAMS accession number
ML083370180, Entergy on behalf of VY,
requested a revision to the exemption
from the provisions of 10 CFR Part 50,
Appendix R, Section III.G.2, dated
December 1, 1986 (ML011620492),
which in part permitted a reduction in
minimum separation distance between
cable trays in the northwest corner of
Fire Zone RB–3 of the Reactor Building
to 18 feet. VY has requested a revision
of the existing exemption to permit the
actual minimum separation distance of
17 feet–7.5 inches.
3.0 Discussion
Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12, the
Commission may, upon application by
any interested person or upon its own
initiative, grant exemptions from the
requirements of 10 CFR Part 50 when (1)
the exemptions are authorized by law,
will not present an undue risk to public
health or safety, and are consistent with
the common defense and security; and
(2) when special circumstances are
present. One of these special
circumstances, described in 10 CFR
50.12(a)(2)(ii), is that the application of
the regulation is not necessary to
achieve the underlying purpose of the
rule.
The underlying purpose of Subsection
III.G.2 of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R,
is to ensure that one of the redundant
trains necessary to achieve and maintain
hot shutdown conditions remains free of
fire damage in the event of a fire.
The NRC staff reviewed the licensee’s
evaluation in support of the subject
exemption request 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.
Authorized by Law
This exemption would permit a
reduced minimum separation distance
of 17 feet–7.5 inches, instead of ‘‘more
than 20 feet’’ between cable trays in Fire
Zone RB–3, elevation 252 feet, provided
all other passive and active forms of
protection (e.g., lack of combustible fuel
loading or fire hazards, fire detectors
and automatic fire suppression system)
are provided and maintained in
accordance with III.G.2. As stated above,
10 CFR 50.12 allows the NRC to grant
exemptions from the requirements of 10
CFR Part 50. The NRC staff has
determined that granting of the
licensee’s proposed exemption will not
result in a violation of the Atomic
Energy Act of 1954, as amended, or the
