administrators and faculty. Burden
calculated as follows: approximately 8
interviews in each site + interview
recipients of leadership awards at case

2. Site visit focus groups with faculty:
2 per site; 6 sites; 6–8 faculty in each;
total = 96.
Burden on the Public: 149 hours
(maximum).
Calculated as follows:
1. Site visit interviews: 48 interviews
of 1 hour duration = 48 hours and 7
interviews of 45 minutes duration =
5.25 hours (53).
2. Focus groups: 96 participants of 1

NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50–244; NRC–2010–0317]
R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant, LLC;
R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant
Environmental Assessment and
Finding of No Significant Impact
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is considering
changes to the Emergency Plan,
pursuant to 10 CFR 50.54, ‘‘Conditions
of licenses,’’ paragraph (q), for Facility
Operating License No. DPR–18, issued
to R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant, LLC
(the licensee), for operation of the R.E.
Ginna Nuclear Power Plant (Ginna),
located in Ontario, New York. In
accordance with 10 CFR 51.21, the NRC
performed an environmental
assessment. Based on the results of the
environmental assessment, the NRC is
issuing a finding of no significant
impact.
Environmental Assessment
Identification of the Proposed Action
The proposed action would upgrade
selected Emergency Action Levels
(EALs) based on NEI 99–01, Revision 5,
‘‘Methodology for Development of
Emergency Action Levels,’’ using the
guidance of NRC Regulatory Issue
Summary 2003–18, Supplement 2, ‘‘Use
of Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 99–01,
Methodology for Development of
Emergency Action Levels.’’
The proposed action is in accordance
with the licensee’s application dated
November 30, 2009 (Agencywide
Documents Access and Management
System (ADAMS) Accession No.
ML093370215), as supplemented by
letter dated May 14, 2010 (ADAMS
Accession No. ML101400133).
The Need for the Proposed Action
The current Ginna NUMARC/NESP–
007 based Emergency Plan EALs were
developed in 1994 and approved by the
NRC in February 1995. Currently, loss of
annunciators to a single control room
panel requires the licensee to declare a
Notice of Unusual Event (NOUE), as
experienced in 2007 and 2009.
Improvements have since been made to
the Ginna control room indication and
PO 00000
Frm 00088
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

annunciation systems and the licensee
has determined that the current EALs
are more conservative than the intent of
NEI 99–01. Overly conservative criteria
could lead to the premature declaration
of an NOUE. The licensee has requested
NRC approval of EALs based on NEI 99–
01 to match the level of EAL
conservatism with the industry
standard.
The NRC has completed its evaluation
of the proposed action and concludes
that the proposed changes to the Ginna
EALs meet the guidance of NEI 99–01,
which the staff considers to be an
acceptable alternative for development
of an EAL scheme that meets regulatory
requirements. Based on this, the staff
concludes that the proposed EALs meet
the standards of 10 CFR 50.47(b) and the
requirements of Appendix E to 10 CFR
Part 50 and provide reasonable
assurance that the licensee will take
adequate protective measures in a
radiological emergency.
Environmental Impacts of the Proposed
Action
The NRC has completed its
environmental assessment of the
proposed EAL changes to the R.E. Ginna
Nuclear Power Plant. The staff has
concluded that the changes would not
significantly affect plant safety and
would not have a significant adverse
effect on the probability of an accident
occurring. The proposed action would
not result in an increased radiological
hazard beyond those previously
analyzed in the Updated Final Safety
Analysis Report. There will be no
change to radioactive effluents that
affect radiation exposures to plant
workers and members of the public. No
changes will be made to plant buildings
or the site property. Therefore, no
changes or different types of
radiological impacts are expected as a
result of the proposed changes.
The proposed action does not result
in changes to land use or water use, or
result in changes to the quality or
quantity of non-radiological effluents.
No changes to the National Pollution
Discharge Elimination System permit
are needed. No effects on the aquatic or
terrestrial habitat in the vicinity or the
plant, or to threatened, endangered, or
protected species under the Endangered
Species Act, or impacts to essential fish
habitat covered by the MagnusonStevens Act are expected. There are no
impacts to the air or ambient air quality.
There are no impacts to historical and
cultural resources. There would be no
noticeable effect on socioeconomic
conditions in the region. Therefore, no
changes or different types of nonradiological environmental impacts are
