SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice provides an opportunity for the public to comment on proposed changes to the standard technical specifications (STS) after a preliminary assessment and finding by the NRC staff that the agency will likely offer the changes for adoption by licensees. This notice solicits comment on a proposed change to the STS, which if implemented by a licensee will modify the plant-specific TS. The NRC staff will evaluate any comments received for the proposed change to the STS and reconsider the change or announce the availability of the change for adoption by licensees. Licensees opting to apply for this TS change are responsible for reviewing the NRC staff’s SE, referencing the applicable technical justifications, and providing any necessary plant-specific information. The NRC will process and note each amendment application responding to the notice of availability according to applicable NRC rules and procedures. TSTF–500, Revision 2, is applicable to all nuclear power reactors. The Traveler modifies the STS requirements related to DC electrical systems. The NRC staff requests that each licensee applying for the changes proposed in TSTF–500, Revision 2, include in their license amendment request (LAR) letter(s) from battery manufacturer(s) verifying the acceptability of using float current monitoring. The proposed change does not prevent licensees from requesting an alternate approach or proposing changes other than those proposed in TSTF Traveler–500, Revision 2. However, significant deviations from the approach recommended in this notice or the inclusion of additional changes to the license require additional NRC staff review. This may increase the time and resources needed for the review or result in NRC staff rejection of the LAR. Licensees desiring significant deviations or additional changes should instead submit an LAR that does not claim to adopt TSTF Traveler–500, Revision 2.

ACTION: Notice of adoption of the Sixth Northwest Electric Power and Conservation Plan. SUMMARY: The Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act of 1980 (16 U.S.C. 839 et seq.) requires the Council to adopt and periodically review and revise a regional power plan, the Northwest Electric Power and Conservation Plan. The Council first adopted the power and conservation plan in 1983, with significant amendments or complete revisions adopted in 1986, 1991, 1998 and 2004. The Council began a review of the power and conservation plan in December 2007, and in September 2009, the Council released for public review and comment the Draft Northwest Sixth Electric Power and Conservation Plan. During the comment period, the Council held public hearings in each of the four Northwest states, as required by the Northwest Power Act, engaged in consultations about the power and conservation plan with various governments, entities and individuals in the region, and accepted and considered substantial written and oral comments. At the Council’s regularly scheduled public meeting in February 2010 in Portland, Oregon, the Council formally adopted the revised power and conservation plan, called the Sixth Northwest Electric Power and Conservation Plan. The revised power and conservation plan meets the requirements of the Northwest Power Act, which specifies the components the power plan is to have, including an energy conservation program, a recommendation for research and development; a methodology for determining quantifiable environmental costs and benefits; a 20-year demand forecast; a forecast of power resources that the Bonneville Power Administration will need to meet its E:\FR\FM\04MYN1.SGM 04MYN1

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of opportunity for public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The NRC is requesting public comment on the proposed model 
application (with model no significant hazards consideration 
determination) and model safety evaluation (SE) for plant-specific 
adoption of Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) Traveler TSTF-
500, Revision 2, ``DC Electrical Rewrite--Update to TSTF-360.'' The

[``DC Sources--Shutdown,''] and LCO 3.8.[6], [``Battery Parameters.''] 
A [new or revised] ``Battery Monitoring and Maintenance Program'' is 
being proposed for Section [5.5] [``Administrative Controls--Programs 
and Manuals.''] This proposed model SE will facilitate expedited 
approval of plant-specific adoption of TSTF-500, Revision 2.

DATES: Comment period expires on June 3, 2010. Comments received after 
this date will be considered, if it is practical to do so, but the
