I. Abstract
This collection of information
supports the National Aeronautics and
Space Act of 1958, as amended, to
create opportunities to improve
processes associated with the evaluation
and selection of individuals to
participate in the NASA Astronaut
Candidate Selection Program. The
NASA Astronaut Selection Office (ASO)
located at the Lyndon B. Johnson Space
Center (JSC) in Houston, Texas is
responsible for selecting astronauts for
the various United States Space
Exploration programs. In evaluating an
applicant for the Astronaut Candidate
Program, it is important that the ASO
have the benefit of qualitative and
quantitative information and
recommendations from persons who
have been directly associated with the
applicant over the course of their career.
This information will be used by the
NASA ASO and Human Resources (HR)
personnel, during the candidate
selection process (approx. 2 year
duration), to gain insight into the
candidates’ work ethic and
professionalism as demonstrated in
previous related employment activities.
Respondents may include the astronaut
candidate’s previous employer(s)/directreporting manager, as well as coworkers and other references provided
by the candidate.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On July 24, 2006, Indian Point 3
submitted exemption requests from part
50 to Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR), appendix R,
section III.G.2, for a one-hour rating fire
barrier. On September 28, 2007 (72 FR
55254), the NRC issued the exemptions.
As required by 10 CFR 51.21, the NRC
prepared an Environmental Assessment
(EA) and a finding of no significant
impact (FONSI). The EA on the impacts
of the exemptions and FONSI were
published in the Federal Register (FR)
on the same day the exemptions were
issued. The exemptions were then
implemented at Indian Point Unit 3. A
draft EA/FONSI for public comment
was not issued for this licensing action.
In 2007, Mr. Richard Brodsky, then a
New York State Assemblyman, and
others (the petitioners) petitioned the
NRC to hold a public hearing before
granting the exemptions. The NRC
denied Mr. Brodsky’s petition. In 2008,
the petitioners filed suit in the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit,
challenging the NRC’s denial of a
hearing. On August 27, 2009, the Court
of Appeals denied the suit for lack of
jurisdiction, but afforded the petitioners
an opportunity to refile their claims in
the U.S. District Court (ADAMS
Accession No. ML092610050). In 2011,
the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of New York granted the NRC
summary judgment on the refiled
claims, finding no violation of the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA),
the Atomic Energy Act (AEA), or the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) in the denial of a hearing on the
exemption (ADAMS Accession No.
ML110660214). The petitioners then
sought review of that decision in the
PO 00000
Frm 00092
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
52987
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second
Circuit.
On January 7, 2013, the Second
Circuit reversed and vacated the U.S.
District Court decision with respect to
public participation on the EA and
FONSI issued in support of the
exemptions (ADAMS Accession No.
ML13199A023). All other aspects of the
U.S. District Court decision were upheld
as described in the Second Circuit’s
Summary Order (ADAMS Accession No.
ML13164A362). The Circuit Court
remanded the case to the District Court
‘‘with instructions for it in turn to
remand to the NRC so that the agency
may: (1) Supplement the administrative
record to explain why allowing public
input into the exemption request was
inappropriate or impracticable, or (2)
take other such action as it may deem
appropriate to resolve this issue.’’ The
Court directed that proceedings were to
be concluded within 120 days of the
Mandate, which was issued on March 1,
2013.
In response to the Mandate of the U.S.
Court of Appeals, on April 3, 2013 (78
FR 20144), a Federal Register notice
was published seeking public comment,
pursuant to 10 CFR 51.33, for a draft EA
and FONSI. Due to requests from the
public to extend the comment period,
on May 7, 2013 (78 FR 26662), a Federal
Register notice was published that
extended the public comment period to
June 3, 2013. In light of this extension,
the NRC sought and the Court of
Appeals granted an extension until
August 30, 2013, to complete its actions.
II. Environmental Assessment
Identification of the Proposed Action
The proposed action would revise the
January 7, 1987, safety evaluation to
reflect that the installed Hemyc
electrical raceway fire barrier system
(ERFBS) configurations provide either a
30-minute fire resistance rating, or in
one case a 24-minute fire resistance
rating, in lieu of the previously stated
one-hour fire resistance rating. The
licensee states that a Hemyc ERFBS fire
resistance rating will provide sufficient
protection for the affected raceways,
with adequate margin, to continue to
meet the intent of the original requests
for exemption and conclusions
presented in the NRC’s January 7, 1987,
safety evaluation. The licensee
concludes that the revised fire
resistance rating of the Hemyc ERFBS
does not reflect a reduction in overall
fire safety, and presents no added
challenge to the credited post-fire safeshutdown capability which remains
materially unchanged from the
configuration originally described in
