Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 128 / Wednesday, July 3, 2013 / Notices
NUHOMS® 24PHB DSCs under CoC No.
1004 at the Oconee Nuclear Station.
These fuel assemblies have M5 cladding
(a zirconium alloy), but the current TSs
allow only ‘‘zircaloy’’ clad assemblies.
Approval of the exemption request
will allow the applicant to effectively
manage its spent fuel inventory to meet
decay heat zoning requirements
throughout its scheduled loading
campaigns. The applicant’s ability to
load M5 clad fuel in its next scheduled
loading campaign will mean that older
‘‘zircaloy clad’’ fuel assemblies will be
available for future loadings, so that
future loadings will not be restricted by
the aggregate heat generated by hotter
fuel and therefore contain fewer total
assemblies. The proposed action enables
the applicant to load the fewest possible
DSCs by permitting cask loading of the
hotter M5 fuel without later needing to
‘‘short load’’ casks due to heat load.
Environmental Impacts of the
Proposed Action: The staff has
determined that the proposed action
would not endanger life or property and
would not have significant impacts on
the human environment. The potential
impact of using the TN Standardized
NUHOMS® dry cask storage system was
initially evaluated in the EA for the
rulemaking to add the TN Standardized
NUHOMS® Horizontal Modular Storage
System for Irradiated Nuclear Fuel to
the list of approved spent fuel storage
casks in 10 CFR 72.214 (59 FR 28496,
June 2, 1994 (Proposed Rule); 59 FR
65920, December 22, 1994 (Final Rule)).
The exemption proposed to
Amendment No. 9 to CoC 1004 would
permit the loading of M5 clad B&W
Mark B11 and B11A fuel. The proposed
action does not result in any changes to
the types or amounts of any radiological
effluents that may be released offsite,
and there is no significant increase in
occupational or public radiation
exposure as a result of the proposed
action. Therefore, there are no
significant environmental impacts
associated with the proposed action.
The proposed action only affects the
requirements associated with the fuel
assemblies to be loaded into the 24PHB
DSCs and does not affect plant effluents,
or any other aspects of the environment.
Therefore, there are no significant
impacts associated with the proposed
action.
Accordingly, the Commission
concludes that there are no significant
environmental impacts associated with
the proposed action.
Alternative to the Proposed Action:
Because there is no significant
environmental impact associated with
the proposed action, alternatives with
equal or greater environmental impact

were not evaluated. As an alternative to
the proposed action, the staff considered
denial of the proposed action. Denial of
the proposed action would involve
loading additional DSCs due to heat
load restrictions, as described in the
safety evaluation report. Denial of the
exemption would result in an increase
in radiological exposure to workers,
potential additional radioactive releases
to the environment, additional
opportunities for accidents, and
increased cost to the licensee. Therefore,
the NRC staff has determined that
approving the proposed action has a
lesser environmental impact than
denying the proposed action.
Agencies and Persons Consulted: The
EA associated with this exemption
request was sent to Ms. Shelly Wilson
of the South Carolina Department of
Health and Environmental Control
(SCDHEC) by email dated April 10, 2013
(ADAMS Accession No. ML13107B435).
The state response was received by
email dated April 11, 2013 (ADAMS
Accession No. ML13107B441). The
email states that SCDHEC reviewed the
draft EA and has no comments. The
NRC staff has determined that a
consultation under Section 7 of the
Endangered Species Act is not required,
because the proposed action will not
affect listed species or critical habitat.
The NRC staff has also determined that
the proposed action is not a type of
activity that has the potential to impact
historic properties, because the
proposed action would occur within the
established Oconee site boundary.
Therefore, no consultation is required
under Section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act.
III. Finding of No Significant Impact
The environmental impacts of the
proposed action have been reviewed in
accordance with the requirements set
forth in 10 CFR part 51. Based upon the
foregoing Environmental Assessment,
the Commission finds that the proposed
action of granting the exemption from
the requirements of 10 CFR 72.212(a)(2),
72.212(b)(3), 72.212(b)(5)(i), 72.214, and
the portion of 10 CFR 72.212(b)(11) that
states the licensee shall comply with the
terms, conditions, and specifications of
the CoC limited to the loading of the
24PHB DSCs with M5 clad B&W Mark
B11 and Mark B11A fuel assemblies,
will not significantly impact the quality
of the human environment.
Accordingly, the Commission has
determined that preparation of an
environmental impact statement for the
proposed exemption is not warranted
and that a finding of no significant
impact is appropriate.

III. Notice of Filings
IV. Ordering Paragraphs
I. Introduction
The Postal Service seeks to add
Priority Mail International Regional Rate
Boxes—Non-Published Rates (PMI RRB–
NPR) to the competitive product list.1 It
provides a related model contract
(Request, Attachment 4) and addresses
filing practices for individual contracts
within the new product. Request at 5.
II. Postal Service’s Filings
The Postal Service filed the Request,
supporting attachments, sealed
documents, and a public Excel file with
redacted financial documentation to
support the addition of the new product
to the competitive product list. The
Request is based on Governors’ Decision
No. 11–6. Id. at 1–2. It was filed
pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3642 and 39 CFR
3020 et seq. Id. at 1.
The Postal Service describes PMI
RRB–NPR as a product that offers
incentive pricing to small and mediumsize business mailers that satisfy
prescribed capability requirements and
are willing to enter a contractual
commitment to tender certain minimum
levels of postage for PMI RRB on an
annualized basis. Id. at 4. Certain

requirements attach if customers use a
permit imprint using Postal Serviceprovided Global Shipping Software. Id.
at 5.
Attachments to the Request include:
• Attachment 1—an application for
non-public treatment of materials filed
under seal;
• Attachment 2A—a redacted version
of Governors’ Decision No. 11–6;
• Attachment 2B—a proposed version
of the Mail Classification Schedule
language for the new product;
• Attachment 2C—a redacted version
of a management analysis of pricing and
methodology for the new product;
• Attachment 2D—a redacted version
of maximum and minimum prices for
Priority Mail International Regional Rate
Boxes under PMI RRB–NPR;
• Attachment 2E—the certified
statement required by 39 CFR 3015.5
(c)(2) concerning prices for applicable
negotiated service agreements under
PMI RRB–NPR;
• Attachment 3—the Statement of
Supporting Justification required by 39
CFR 3020.32; and
• Attachment 4—a redacted version
of the PMI RRB–NPR model contract,
which includes Annex One (prices) and
Annex Two (country price groups).
Id. at 2–3.
The Postal Service addresses several
elements of the non-discounted price
table for PMI RRB–NPR, including the
three box types that will be offered and
related weight limits and dimensions.
Id. at 4. It identifies eight country price
groups. Id. at 5. The Postal Service
states that the Management Analysis
(Attachment 2C) provides an
explanation of how floor and ceiling
prices are established. Id. The Postal
Service also states it anticipates the
Commission will ask that PMI RRB–
NPR filings be similar to GEPS–NPR 4
filings and that notice of new rates for
PMI RRB–NPR will necessitate the
addition of successor filings. Id.
The Postal Service presents reasons
why the proposed new product satisfies
the criteria in 39 U.S.C. 3642(b)(1) and
(2) (concerning product category and
monopoly status), and states that the
Statement of Supporting Justification
addresses 39 U.S.C. 3642(b)(3) (market
considerations). Id. at 6–7.
The Postal Service asserts that
redacted portions of materials filed
under seal should remain confidential
as sensitive business information. Id. at
7. The Postal Service also intends to rely
on the application for non-public
treatment filed as Attachment 1 in this
docket when it files actual PMI RRB–
NPR customer agreements. Id. at 8.
