SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Antarctic
emergency response plan and
environmental protection information.
OMB Approval Number: 3145–0180.
Expiration Date of Approval: August
31, 2010.
Abstract: The NSF, pursuant to the
Antarctic Conservation Act of 1978 (16
U.S.C. 2401 et seq.) (‘‘ACA’’) regulates
certain non-governmental activities in
Antarctica. The ACA was amended in
1996 by the Antarctic Science, Tourism,
and Conservation Act. On September 7,
2001, NSF published a final rule in the
Federal Register (66 FR 46739)
implementing certain of these statutory
amendments. The rule requires nongovernmental Antarctic expeditions
using non-U.S. flagged vessels to ensure
that the vessel owner has an emergency
response plan. The rule also requires
persons organizing a non-governmental
expedition to provide expedition
members with information on their
environmental protection obligations
under the Antarctic Conservation Act.
Expected Respondents. Respondents
may include non-profit organizations
and small and large businesses. The
majority of respondents are anticipated
to be U.S. tour operators, currently
estimated to number twelve.
Burden on the Public. The Foundation
estimates that a one-time paperwork and
recordkeeping burden of 40 hours or
less, at a cost of $500 to $1,400 per
respondent, will result from the
emergency response plan requirement
contained in the rule. Presently, all
respondents have been providing
expedition members with a copy of the
Guidance for Visitors to the Antarctic
(prepared and adopted at the Eighteenth
Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting
as Recommendation XVIII–1). Because
this Antarctic Treaty System document
satisfies the environmental protection
information requirements of the rule, no
additional burden shall result from the
environmental information
requirements in the proposed rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Notice of Approval
On June 14, 2007, U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff
concurred with the State of Colorado’s
determination that all applicable
standards and requirements for the
protection of public health, safety and
the environment had been met for the
Umetco Minerals Corporation (Umetco)
Maybell West uranium mill tailings
disposal site. On February 5, 2010,
Umetco transferred ownership of its 20acre parcel of the 180-acre Maybell West
uranium mill tailings disposal site to the
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for
long-term custody, as required by 10
CFR Part 40, Appendix A, Criterion 11,
prior to termination of Umetco’s
Radioactive Materials License by the
State of Colorado. The 160-acre balance
of the disposal site is on public land,
which was transferred by the Bureau of
Land Management to the DOE in April
2008. By letter dated February 16, 2010,
the DOE submitted the final Long-Term
Surveillance Plan (LTSP) for the
Maybell West disposal site for review
and acceptance by the NRC. The NRC
staff has completed its review of the
LTSP and determined that the LTSP
satisfies the long-term surveillance
requirements in 10 CFR Part 40,
Appendix A, Criterion 12, and § 40.28,
for the Maybell West tailings disposal
site.
Accordingly, notice is hereby given
that the NRC has accepted the LTSP for
the Maybell West site. As documented
in NRC’s letter dated March 11, 2010,
acceptance of this LTSP establishes the
DOE as the long-term custodian and
caretaker of the Maybell West site under
the general license specified in § 40.28.
In a concurrent action, the State of
Colorado terminated Umetco’s
Radioactive Materials License Number
660–01 for the Maybell West site. These
actions complete all requirements for
VerDate Nov<24>2008
17:58 Apr 09, 2010
Jkt 220001
closure of the Maybell West site under
the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation
Control Act of 1978, as amended. These
actions do not require an environmental
assessment as they are administrative in
nature and categorically excluded under
10 CFR 51.22(c) (11). Accepting this
LTSP and establishing this site in the
custody and long-term care of the DOE
involved no significant: (i) Change in
the types or increase in the amounts of
any effluents that may be released
offsite; (ii) increase in individual or
cumulative occupational radiation
exposure; (iii) construction impact; and
(iv) increase in the potential for, or
consequences from radiological
accidents.
II. Further Information
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of
the NRC’s ‘‘Rules of Practice,’’ copies
of the Maybell West LTSP submitted
by DOE in a letter dated February 16,
2010, and the letter dated March 11,
2010, from the State of Colorado to
Umetco terminating their Radioactive
Materials License, are available
