Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 164 / Thursday, August 23, 2012 / Notices
doses will remain well below regulatory
limits.
Regulatory limits on radiological
effluent releases are independent of
burnup. The requirements of 10 CFR
part 20, 10 CFR 50.36a, and Appendix
I to 10 CFR part 50 ensure that routine
releases of gaseous, liquid or solid
radiological effluents to unrestricted
areas is kept ‘‘As Low As is Reasonably
Achievable.’’ Therefore, the NRC staff
concludes that during routine
operations, there would be no
significant increase in the amount of
gaseous radiological effluents released
into the environment as a result of the
proposed actions, nor will there be a
significant increase in the amount of
liquid radiological effluents or solid
radiological effluents released into the
environment.
The proposed actions will not change
normal plant operating conditions (i.e.,
no changes are expected in the fuel
handling, operational, or storing
processes). The fuel storage and
handling, radioactive waste, and other
systems which may contain
radioactivity are designed to assure
adequate safety under normal
conditions. There will be no significant
changes in radiation levels during these
evolutions, and no significant increase
in the allowable individual or
cumulative occupational radiation
exposure is expected to occur.
The use of Optimized ZIRLOTM clad
fuel with a burnup limit of 62 GWD/
MTU will not change the potential
environmental impacts of incident-free
transportation of spent nuclear fuel or
the accident risks associated with spent
fuel transportation if the fuel is cooled
for 5 years after being discharged from
the reactor. A PNNL report for the NRC
(NUREG/CR–6703, January 2001)
concluded that doses associated with
incident-free transportation of spent fuel
with burnup to 75 GWD/MTU are
bound by the doses given in 10 CFR
51.52, Table S–4 for all regions of the
country, based on the dose rates from
the shipping casks being maintained
within regulatory limits. Increased fuel
burnup will decrease the annual
discharge of fuel to the spent fuel pool
which will postpone the need to remove
spent fuel from the pool.
NUREG/CR–6703 determined that no
increase in environmental effects of
spent fuel transportation accidents is
expected as a result of increasing fuel
burnup to 75 GWD/MTU.
Based on the nature of the
amendment and exemption, these
proposed actions do 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 of 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 historic 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
expected as a result of the proposed
actions. Accordingly, the NRC staff
concludes that there are no significant
environmental impacts associated with
the proposed actions.
For more detailed information
regarding the environmental impacts of
extended fuel burnup, please refer to the
study conducted by PNNL for the NRC,
entitled ‘‘Environmental Effects of
Extending Fuel Burnup Above 60 GWD/
MTU’’ (NUREG/CR–6073, PNNL–13257,
January 2001, Accession No.
ML010310298). The NRC staff’s detailed
safety review will be conveyed in the
Safety Evaluation issued concurrently
with the amendment.
Environmental Impacts of the
Alternatives to the Proposed Actions
As an alternative to the proposed
actions, the NRC staff considered denial
of the proposed actions (i.e., the ‘‘noaction’’ alternative). Denial of the
application would result in no change
in current environmental impacts. Thus,
the environmental impacts of the
proposed actions and the alternative
action are similar.
Alternative Use of Resources
The proposed actions do not involve
the use of any different resources than
those previously considered in the Final
Environmental Statement for Donald C.
Cook Nuclear Plant, Unit 2, or the
Generic Environmental Impact
Statement for License Renewal of
Nuclear Plants: Regarding Donald C.
Cook Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2—
Final Report (NUREG–1437,
Supplement 20), dated May 2005.
Agencies and Persons Consulted
In accordance with its stated policy,
on June 1, 2012, the NRC staff consulted
with the Michigan State official
regarding the environmental impact of
the proposed action. The State officials
had no comments.

Finding of No Significant Impact
On the basis of the environmental
assessment, the NRC staff concludes
that the proposed actions will not have
a significant effect on the quality of the
human environment. Accordingly, the
NRC staff determined not to prepare an
environmental impact statement for the
proposed action.

proposed actions, see the licensee’s

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to modify
Exchange Rule 3307 to institute a five
millisecond delay in the execution time
of marketable orders on NASDAQ OMX
PSX (‘‘PSX’’). The Exchange proposes to
implement the proposed rule change
within 30 days of Commission approval.
The text of the proposed rule change is
available at https://
nasdaqomxphlx.cchwallstreet.com/
nasdaqomxphlx/phlx, at Phlx’s
principal office and at the Commission’s
Public Reference room.
II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
In its filing with the Commission, the
Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for
the proposed rule change and discussed
any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of these
statements may be examined at the
places specified in Item IV below. The
Exchange has prepared summaries, set
forth in Sections A, B, and C below, of
the most significant aspects of such
statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
The purpose of the proposed rule
change is to modify Exchange Rule 3307
to institute a five millisecond delay in
the execution time of marketable orders.
The proposal will be implemented
initially on a one-year pilot basis with
respect to the trading of securities listed
on the NASDAQ Stock Market (‘‘Tape C
Securities’’). The Exchange introduced
PSX, which features a unique price/
size/pro-rata execution algorithm, in
order to encourage market participants
to display more liquidity in a
transparent market environment. As
among equally priced orders on the PSX
book, PSX allocates execution
opportunities in proportion to the size
of the posted order, rather than its time
of entry. Thus, the Exchange’s market
model is intended to deemphasize the
importance of speed in realizing trading
opportunities.
Although PSX has enjoyed a measure
of success, the Exchange is concerned
that slower liquidity providers that post
on PSX are sometimes subject to
suboptimal executions due to disparities
in the speed with which market
participants are able to react to market
