The connection between the general public’s attitudes toward people with disabilities and their employment prospects as well as the impact of direct work contact with people with disabilities has not been explored with a large sample representative of the general population. More importantly, previous research on public attitudes toward people with disabilities (Harris Polls, 2003, 1998; Kaiser Family Foundation, 2004; Siperstein et al., 2005) has used one or two-dimensional models of attitudinal measurement. This is a significant disadvantage to the development of knowledge in this area, especially with regard to the behavioral component of attitudes, which is not included in previous studies. Without a better understanding of the causal factors that compel an individual to act out her/his thoughts and emotions, the value of research on public attitudes toward people with disabilities is significantly diminished. ODEP strongly believes that the research on public attitudes toward people with disabilities needs a strategic and scientifically based approach that rigorously collects and aggregates data from a larger sample of the American public, a more comprehensive approach to attitude measurement, and a multivariate predictive analytical approach to the analysis of findings. Therefore, the proposed 2009 survey is designed to meet those needs, as follows: The survey will draw a sample n = 1,600, which is roughly double the size of the sample of the 2005 National Survey of Consumer Attitudes; It will use a multidimensional validated scale of attitudes toward disabled people that has been tested in a multitude of published works since the mid-1990s; It will apply analytical methods that develop causal and associative explanations for both attitude change and development and the behavior of individuals.

(Entergy or the licensee), for operation of Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (Pilgrim), located in Plymouth County, MA. Therefore, as required by 10 CFR 51.21, the NRC is issuing this environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact. Environmental Assessment Identification of the Proposed Action The proposed action would revise the names on the plant license to match the names of the new companies. Entergy Nuclear Generation Company would be changed to Enexus Nuclear Pilgrim, LLC. Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. would be changed to EquaGen Nuclear LLC. The proposed action is in accordance with the licensee’s application dated September 30, 2008. The Need for the Proposed Action The proposed action for changing the name of the licensee results from PO 00000 Frm 00060 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 restructuring of Entergy Corporation and the creation of Enexus Energy Corporation as consented to by the NRC Order dated July 28, 2008. Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Action The NRC has completed its safety evaluation of the proposed action and concludes that: (1) There is a reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission’s regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public. The details of the staff’s safety evaluation will be provided in the license amendment that will be issued as part of the letter to the licensee approving the license amendment. 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 Pilgrim, dated January 1972.

(GTCC) waste and other radioactive materials associated with spent fuel 
storage at the Calvert Cliffs Independent Spent Fuel Storage 
Installation (ISFSI), located at the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant 
site in Calvert County, Maryland. If granted, the revised license will 
authorize the applicant to allow fuel with a higher burnup to be stored 
at the Calvert Cliffs ISFSI. This application was docketed under 10 CFR 
Part 72; the ISFSI Docket No. is 72-8 and will remain the same for this 
action.
    An NRC review, documented in a letter to Constellation dated July 
21, 2009, found that the application contains sufficient information 
for the NRC staff to begin its technical review. The Commission will 
approve the license amendment if it determines that the application 
meets the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, 
as amended (the Act) and the Commission's regulations, including the 
findings required by 10 CFR 72.40. These findings will be documented in 
a Safety Evaluation Report. The NRC has completed an environmental 
evaluation, in accordance with 10 CFR Part 51, and determined that 
preparation of an environmental impact statement is not warranted 
because there are no radiological environmental impacts due to granting 
the approval of the amendment.

II. Opportunity To Request a Hearing

    The Commission may issue either a notice of hearing or a notice of 
proposed action and opportunity for hearing in accordance with 10 CFR 
72.46(b)(1) or, if a determination is made that the amendment does not

taken and an opportunity for interested persons to request a hearing on 
whether the action should be rescinded or modified.
