Notice of Permit Modification Received under the Antarctic Conservation Act of 1978, Public Law 95–541. AGENCY: ACTION: SUMMARY: The National Science Foundation (NSF) is required to publish a notice of requests to modify permits issued to conduct activities regulated under the Antarctic Conservation Act of 1978. NSF has published regulations under the Antarctic Conservation Act at Title 45 Part 670 of the Code of Federal Regulations. This is the required notice of a requested permit modification. DATES: Interested parties are invited to submit written data, comments, or views with respect to this permit application by October 15, 2009. Permit applications may be inspected by interested parties at the Permit Office, address below. ADDRESSES: Comments should be addressed to Permit Office, Room 755, Office of Polar Programs, National Science Foundation, 4201 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, Virginia 22230. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nadene G. Kennedy at the above address or (703) 292–7405. 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 PO 00000 Frm 00093 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 47277 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. Description of Permit Modification Requested The Foundation issued a permit (2008–016) to Dr. Robert Garrott on October 1, 2007. The issued permit allows the applicant to tag new pups born each year in the Erebus Bay and to weigh a sample of the pups at parturition, approximately 20 days old, and 35 days old as part of a study of the Interactions of Environmental Variability, Life History Traits, and Demography in an Apex Antarctic Predator. Based on data collected so far and field observations, it appears that moms vary a lot in how much time they spend in the water with their pups teaching them to swim, forage, evade aggressive encounters with other seals, etc. It is believed that the amount of time pups spend in the water influences their weight when weaned, and likely their ultimate probability of survival once weaned. The applicant would like to temporarily deploy a small temperature logging tag on the pups when they are weighed at 1–2 days old and remove the tag when they are weighed at 35 days old. The applicant has identified a small (5 grams) commercially manufactured temperature logging unit that can be mounted on the flipper. Once the tag is removed, the archived data will be used to quantify the pup’s swimming profile during the nursing period. Location: McMurdo Sound. Dates: October 2, 2009 to February 12, 2012.

The proposed amendment would delay the date specified in License Amendments 234 and 229 for the implementation of the Boraflex Remedy in the Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 spent fuel pools. 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: PO 00000 Frm 00094 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 1. Does the proposed change involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated? Response: No. The proposed license amendments extend the implementation period specified in License Amendments 234 and 229. The delay will allow FPL to continue to work with our vendor to successfully fabricate the Metamic® inserts to the design requirements for insertion until both SFPs [spent fuel pools] are configured in accordance with the previously approved Boraflex® Remedy license amendments. During this extension period, FPL will continue to rely on the current Turkey Point licensing basis, including the presence of Boraflex®, the continuation of existing administrative controls, and our currently approved monitoring and surveillance program until such time that the Boraflex® Remedy license amendments are fully implemented. These measures will continue to ensure required margins to criticality are maintained such that the consequences of an accident are not increased. As the delay in implementation of the Boraflex® Remedy does not affect any accident initiation sequences, the probability of occurrence on an accident in the SFPs is not increased by delay in implementation of License Amendment Nos. 234 and 229. Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated. 2. Does the proposed change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated? Response: No. The proposed license amendments extend the implementation period specified in License Amendments 234 and 229. The delay will allow FPL to continue to work with our vendor to successfully fabricate the Metamic® inserts to the design requirements for insertion until both SFPs are configured in accordance with the previously approved Boraflex® Remedy license amendments. During this extension period, FPL will continue to rely on the current Turkey Point licensing basis, including the presence of Boraflex®, the continuation of existing administrative controls, and our currently approved monitoring and surveillance program until such time that the Boraflex® Remedy license amendments are fully implemented. As no unapproved physical changes to the spent fuel storage cells are involved with this delay in implementation of the Boraflex® Remedy, no new failure modes are created by an extended implementation date. Therefore, the proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated. 3. Does the proposed change involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety? Response: No. The proposed license amendments extend the implementation period specified in License Amendments 234 and 229. The delay will allow FPL to continue to work with our vendor to successfully fabricate the Metamic® inserts to the design requirements E:\FR\FM\15SEN1.SGM 15SEN1
