The workers produce a variety of steel coils. The subject worker groups do not include any on-site leased or temporary workers and exclude workers of Severstal International, Sparrows Point, Maryland (TA–W–74,919; certification issued on February 9, 2011). During the reconsideration investigation, the Department received additional and new information from the subject firm, conducted an expanded customer survey, reviewed relevant information obtained from affiliated facilities, and analyzed import data of articles like or directly competitive with the coils produced at the subject facilities. Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number or proportion of workers at each of the subject facilities became totally or partially separated, or threatened with such separation. Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because sales or production of steel coils at each of the subject facilities decreased absolutely. Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because there were increased imports of articles like or directly competitive with the steel coils produced at the respective facilities, during the relevant periods. Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because the increased imports contributed importantly to worker group separations and sales/production declines at each of the subject facilities.

[FR Doc. 2011–12397 Filed 5–19–11; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4510–FN–P NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION [Docket Nos. 50–277 and 50–278; NRC– 2011–0112] Exelon Generation Company, LLC; Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Unit Nos. 2 and 3; Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering issuance of an amendment for renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR–44 and DPR–56, issued to Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon, the licensee) for operation of the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3 (PBAPS), located near Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.90. In accordance with 10 CFR 51.21, the NRC staff prepared an environmental assessment documenting its finding. Based on the results of the environmental assessment, the NRC is issuing a finding of no significant impact. Environmental Assessment jlentini on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Identification of the Proposed Action The proposed action would revise the renewed Facility Operating Licenses for PBAPS to possess, but not separate, byproduct material, specifically Class B and Class C low-level radioactive waste (LLRW), from Exelon’s Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2 (LGS). The LLRW will be stored in the PBAPS Low-Level Radioactive Waste Storage Facility (LLRWSF). The proposed action is in accordance with the licensee’s application dated VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:22 May 19, 2011 Jkt 223001 January 6, 2010, as supplemented by letters dated August 20, 2010, October 14, 2010, and December 6, 2010. The Need for the Proposed Action The proposed action is needed to provide the licensee with adequate storage capacity, in lieu of constructing alternate storage facilities, for its Class B and Class C LLRW generated at LGS since it does not currently have access to a licensed disposal facility for this LLRW. The State of South Carolina’s licensed low-level radioactive waste disposal facility, located in Barnwell, has limited access to the facility from radioactive waste generators located in States that are not part of the Atlantic Low-Level Waste Compact. Pennsylvania is not a member of the Atlantic Low-Level Waste Compact. Therefore, LGS and PBAPS do not have access to the Barnwell disposal facility for their Class B and Class C LLRW. LGS does not have the capability to store all the LLRW it generates. However, PBAPS has a LLRWSF capable of safely storing a large amount of LLRW, on an interim basis. Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Action The proposed action involves the transportation of LLRW from LGS for interim storage at PBAPS. The LLRW will be transported by truck in accordance with U.S. Department of Transportation and NRC regulations. The distance between the plant sites is less than the distance that was previously traveled to the Barnwell disposal facility in South Carolina. The licensee anticipates that there will be approximately two to three shipments a year of LLRW to PBAPS from LGS. The projected number of shipments is consistent with the past annual average number of trips to the Barnwell facility. While the total travel distance for LLRW generated at LGS, once a new disposal site is determined, may be more or less than the current travel distance from LGS to the Barnwell facility, this circumstance is subject to change regardless of interim storage at PBAPS. Since eventual transport of LLWR to a final disposal site will be accomplished in accordance with NRC and DOT regulations, no significant environmental impact will result regardless of the distance to the final disposal site. However, the proposed action will reduce the total annual number of miles driven for the transport of LLRW during the interim storage period. With less miles traveled, it is expected that there will be no change or possibly a corresponding reduction in the impacts associated with PO 00000 Frm 00087 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 29277 transportation during the interim storage period, such as lower radiation exposure to the truck driver and members of the public along the transportation route. The proposed action would not result in an increased risk of accidents and radiological hazards beyond those associated with the transport to the Barnwell facility. There will be no change to radioactive effluents from the power plants or the LLRW containers that affect radiation exposures to plant workers and members of the public. The interim storage building is designed to comply with NRC regulatory guidance, primarily Generic Letter 81–38, ‘‘Storage of Low-Level Radioactive Wastes at Power Reactor Sites,’’ November 10, 1981, and to meet radiation protection standards in 10 CFR part 20, ‘‘Standards for Protection Against Radiation,’’ and 40 CFR part 190, ‘‘Environmental Radiation Protection Standards for Nuclear Power Operations.’’ Guidance in Section 11.4, ‘‘Solid Waste Management System,’’ of NUREG–0800, ‘‘Safety Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis and Reports for Nuclear Power Plants,’’ Revision 3, March 2007, was also reviewed and assessed with respect to the proposed action. The cumulative dose from handling the LLRW from PBAPS and from the additional LLRW from the LGS will be controlled by station procedures to ensure compliance with the radiation dose standards to workers and members of the public. Based on this information, the staff concludes that the radiological impacts associated with the transportation, handling, and storage of LLRW at PBAPS will not result in a significant impact to plant workers and members of the public. 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 offsite. There is no significant increase in the amount of any effluent released offsite. There is no significant increase in occupational or public radiation exposure. Therefore, there are no significant radiological environmental impacts associated with the proposed action. The proposed action does not involve a change to plant buildings or land areas on the PBAPS site. 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. With less miles traveled, it is expected that there will be no change or possibly a corresponding reduction in the impacts associated with transportation such as reduced use of fossil fuels and reduced air emissions E:\FR\FM\20MYN1.SGM 20MYN1

    On October 15, 2010, the Department issued a Notice of Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for workers and 
former workers of Severstal Wheeling, Inc., a subsidiary of Severstal 
North America, Inc., Martins Ferry, Ohio (TA-W-71,572); Severstal 
Wheeling, Inc., a subsidiary of Severstal North America, Inc., 
Yorkville, Ohio (TA-W-71,572A); Severstal Wheeling, Inc., a subsidiary 
of Severstal North America, Inc., Mingo Junction, Ohio (TA-W-71,572B); 
and Severstal Wheeling, Inc., a subsidiary of Severstal North America, 
Inc., Steubenville, Ohio (TA-W-71,572C) to apply for Trade Adjustment 
Assistance (TAA). The workers produce a variety of steel coils.
    The subject worker groups do not include any on-site leased or 
temporary workers and exclude workers of Severstal International, 
Sparrows Point, Maryland (TA-W-74,919; certification issued on February 
9, 2011).
    During the reconsideration investigation, the Department received 
additional and new information from the subject firm, conducted an 
expanded customer survey, reviewed relevant information obtained from 
affiliated facilities, and analyzed import data of articles like or 
directly competitive with the coils produced at the subject facilities.
    Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number or 
proportion of workers at each of the subject facilities became totally 
or partially separated, or threatened with such separation.
    Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because sales or production of 
steel coils at each of the subject facilities decreased absolutely.
    Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because there were increased 
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the steel coils 
produced at the respective facilities, during the relevant periods.
    Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because the 
increased imports contributed importantly to worker group separations 
and sales/production declines at each of the subject facilities.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I determine that workers of the subject facilities 
meet the worker group certification criteria under Section 222(a) of 
the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 
19 U.S.C. 2273, I make the following certification:
