[FR Doc. 2010–5640 Filed 3–15–10; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 7536–01–P [Docket No. NRC–2010–0091] 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: NRC Forms 540 and 540A, ‘‘Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest (Shipping Paper) and Continuation Page’’; NRC Forms 541 and 541A, ‘‘Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest, Container and Waste Description, and Continuation Page’’; NRC Forms 542 and 542A, ‘‘Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest, Index and Regional Compact Tabulation, and Continuation Page’’. 2. Current OMB approval number: 3150–0164, 3150–0165, and 3150–0166. 3. How often the collection is required: Forms are used by shippers whenever radioactive waste is shipped. Quarterly or less frequent reporting is PO 00000 Frm 00084 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 12575 made to Agreement States depending on specific license conditions. No reporting is made to the NRC. 4. Who is required or asked to report: All NRC or Agreement State low-level waste facilities licensed pursuant to 10 CFR Part 61 or equivalent Agreement State regulations. All generators, collectors, and processors of low-level waste intended for disposal at a lowlevel waste facility must complete the appropriate forms. 5. The number of annual respondents: NRC Form 540 and 540A: 220 NRC Form 541 and 541A: 220 NRC Form 542 and 542A: 22 6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement or request: NRC Form 540 and 540A: 4,200 NRC Form 541 and 541A: 18,480 NRC Form 542 and 542A: 567 7. Abstract: NRC Forms 540, 541, and 542, together with their continuation pages, designated by the ‘‘A’’ suffix, provide a set of standardized forms to meet Department of Transportation (DOT), NRC, and State requirements. The forms were developed by NRC at the request of low-level waste industry groups. The forms provide uniformity and efficiency in the collection of information contained in manifests which are required to control transfers of low-level radioactive waste intended for disposal at a land disposal facility. NRC Form 540 contains information needed to satisfy DOT shipping paper requirements in 49 CFR Part 172 and the waste tracking requirements of NRC in 10 CFR Part 20. NRC Form 541 contains information needed by disposal site facilities to safely dispose of low-level waste and information to meet NRC and State requirements regulating these activities. NRC Form 542, completed by waste collectors or processors, contains information which facilitates tracking the identity of the waste generator. That tracking becomes more complicated when the waste forms, dimensions, or packagings are changed by the waste processor. Each container of waste shipped from a waste processor may contain waste from several different generators. The information provided on NRC Form 542 permits the States and Compacts to know the original generators of low-level waste, as authorized by the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1985, so they can ensure that waste is disposed of in the appropriate Compact.

Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC to E:\FR\FM\16MRN1.SGM 16MRN1 12576 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 50 / Tuesday, March 16, 2010 / Notices sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES properly perform its functions?

The proposed amendments would change the Technical Specifications to allow the usage of gadolinia as an integral burnable neutron absorber. The amendments application dated October 19, 2009, contains sensitive unclassified non-safeguards information (SUNSI). 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: (1) Involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated. The proposed revisions to the technical specifications and to Duke’s NRC approved methodology reports support the use of gadolinia in the Oconee fuel design. The methodology reports will be approved by the NRC prior to plant operation with the new fuel. The proposed safety limit ensures that fuel integrity will be maintained during normal operations and anticipated PO 00000 Frm 00085 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 operational transients. The Core Operating Limits Report (COLR) will be developed in accordance with the approved methodology reports. The proposed safety limit value does not affect the performance of any equipment used to mitigate the consequences of an analyzed accident. There is no negative impact on the source term or pathways which have been assumed in accidents previously analyzed. No analysis assumptions are violated and there are no adverse effects on the factors that contribute to offsite or onsite dose[s] as the result of an accident. [Therefore, the proposed action does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.] (2) Create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated. The proposed safety limit value does not change the methods governing normal plant operation, nor are the methods utilized to respond to plant transients altered. The new and revised fuel melt equations are not an accident/event initiator. No new initiating events or transients result from the use of the revised safety limit. [Therefore, the proposed action does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident than any accident previously evaluated.] (3) Involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety. The proposed safety limit value has been reviewed and approved by the NRC as part of the approval of the AREVA NP TACO3 and GDTACO topical reports to, in part, specifically calculate the temperature at which the fuel will melt. Duke uses TACO3 and will use GDTACO in accordance with the restrictions stipulated in the safety evaluation of both AREVA NP topical reports and those set forth in Duke’s NRC approved methodology reports to ensure that the limit is not exceeded for those events in which fuel melt is not allowed. The other reactor core safety limits will continue to be met by analyzing the reload using NRC approved methods and incorporation of resultant operating limits into the COLR. [Therefore, the proposed amendment does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.] The NRC staff has reviewed the licensee’s analysis and, based on this review, it appears that the three standards of 10 CFR 50.92(c) are satisfied. Therefore, the NRC staff proposes to determine that the amendment request involves no significant hazards consideration. The Commission is seeking public comments on this proposed determination. Any comments received within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice will be considered in making any final determination. Normally, the Commission will not issue the amendment until the expiration of 60 days after the date of publication of this notice. The E:\FR\FM\16MRN1.SGM 16MRN1
