II. Introduction The NRC is considering a request to amend the Facility Operating License Nos. DPR–80, DPR–82, and SNM–2511 issued to PG&E, for operation of DCPP, located in San Luis Obispo County, California in accordance with 10 CFR 50.90. Therefore, as required by 10 CFR 51.21 and 10 CFR 51.33, the NRC has prepared a Draft EA documenting its finding. The requested amendment would permit licensee security personnel to use certain firearms and ammunition feeding devices not previously permitted, notwithstanding State, local, and certain Federal firearms laws, or regulations that otherwise prohibit such actions. PO 00000 Frm 00073 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 66055 III. Draft Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact Identification of the Proposed Action: The proposed action would permit security personnel at DCPP, in the performance of their official duties, to transfer, receive, possess, transport, import, and use certain firearms, and large capacity ammunition feeding devices not previously permitted to be owned or possessed, notwithstanding State, local, and certain Federal firearms laws, or regulations that otherwise prohibit such actions. The proposed action is in accordance with the PG&E’s application dated September 24, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13268A398), as supplemented by letters dated December 18, 2013, May 15, 2014 (ADAMS Accession No. ML14135A379), and March 26, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15085A572). The Need for the Proposed Action The proposed action would allow the transfer, receipt, possession, transportation, importation, and use of those firearms and devices needed in the performance of official duties required for the protection of an NRC designated facility and associated special nuclear materials, consistent with the DCPP NRC-approved security plan. Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Action The NRC has completed its evaluation of the proposed action and concludes that the proposed action would only allow the use of those firearms and devices necessary to protect DCPP and associated special nuclear materials, consistent with the DCPP NRCapproved security plan. Therefore, the proposed action would not significantly increase the probability or consequences of accidents. In addition, the proposed action would not change the types and the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite. There would also be no significant increase in occupational or public radiation exposure. Therefore, there would be no significant radiological environmental impacts associated with the proposed action. The proposed action would not impact land, air, or water resources, including biota. In addition, the proposed action would not result in any socioeconomic or environmental justice impacts or impacts to historic and cultural resources. Therefore, there would also be no significant nonradiological environmental impacts associated with the proposed action. Accordingly, the NRC concludes that the issuance of the requested E:\FR\FM\28OCN1.SGM 28OCN1 66056 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 208 / Wednesday, October 28, 2015 / Notices amendments would not result in significant environmental impacts. The NRC will publish in the Federal Register a copy of the final environmental assessment as part of the final finding of no significant impact. Environmental Impacts of the Alternatives to the Proposed Action As an alternative to the proposed action, the staff considered denying the proposed action (i.e., the ‘‘no-action’’ alternative). Denial of the license amendment request would result in no change in current environmental conditions at the DCPP. Alternative Use of Resources The proposed action would not involve the use of any resources. Agencies and Persons Consulted The staff did not consult with any Federal agency or California state agencies regarding the environmental impact of the proposed action. IV. Finding of No Significant Impact mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES The licensee has requested license amendments to permit licensee security personnel, in the performance of their official duties, to transfer, receive, possess, transport, import, and use certain firearms, and large capacity ammunition feeding devices not previously permitted to be owned or possessed, notwithstanding State, local, and certain Federal firearms laws, or regulations that would otherwise prohibit such actions. On the basis of the information presented in this environmental assessment, the NRC concludes that the proposed action would not cause any significant environmental impact and would not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment. In addition, the NRC has determined that an environmental impact statement is not necessary for the evaluation of this proposed action. Other than the licensee’s application dated September 24, 2013, there are no other environmental documents associated with this review.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION I. Background Pursuant to part 40 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), appendix A, Criterion 9 and NRC Materials License SUA–1601, License Condition 9.5, Strata is required to submit to the NRC for review and approval an annual update of the financial surety to cover third-party costs for decommissioning and decontamination of the Ross ISR facility located in Crook County, Wyoming. By letter dated January 14, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML14337A251), Strata submitted to the NRC its annual surety update for 2015. The NRC’s staff reviewed the annual financial surety update and found the values reasonable for the required reclamation activities (ADAMS Accession No. ML14162A031). Strata maintains an approved financial assurance instrument in favor of the State of Wyoming; however, it does not have a standby trust agreement (STA) in place, as required by 10 CFR part 40, appendix A, Criterion 9. II. Description of Action As of December 17, 2012, NRC’s uranium milling licensees, which are regulated, in part, under 10 CFR part 40, appendix A, Criterion 9, are required to have an STA in place. Criterion 9 provides that if a licensee does not use a trust as its financial assurance mechanism, then the licensee is required to establish a standby trust fund to receive funds in the event the Commission or State regulatory agency exercises its right to collect the funds provided for by surety bond or letter of credit. The purpose of an STA is to provide a separate account to hold the decommissioning funds in the event of a default. Consistent with provisions of 10 CFR part 40, appendix A, Criterion 9(d), Strata has consolidated its NRC financial assurance sureties with those it is required to obtain by the State of Wyoming, and the financial instrument is held by the State of Wyoming. Strata has not established an STA, nor has it requested an exemption from the requirement to do so. Wyoming law requires that a separate account be set up to receive forfeited decommissioning funds, but does not specifically require an STA. Section 35– 11–424(a) of the Code of Wyoming states that ‘‘[a]ll forfeitures collected E:\FR\FM\28OCN1.SGM 28OCN1

II. Introduction

    The NRC is considering a request to amend the Facility Operating 
License Nos. DPR-80, DPR-82, and SNM-2511 issued to PG&E, for operation 
of DCPP, located in San Luis Obispo County, California in accordance 
with 10 CFR 50.90. Therefore, as required by 10 CFR 51.21 and 10 CFR 
51.33, the NRC has prepared a Draft EA documenting its finding. The 
requested amendment would permit licensee security personnel to use 
certain firearms and ammunition feeding devices not previously 
permitted, notwithstanding State, local, and certain Federal firearms 
laws, or regulations that otherwise prohibit such actions.

III. Draft Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant 
Impact

Identification of the Proposed Action:

    The proposed action would permit security personnel at DCPP, in the 
performance of their official duties, to transfer, receive, possess, 
transport, import, and use certain firearms, and large capacity 
ammunition feeding devices not previously permitted to be owned or 
possessed, notwithstanding State, local, and certain Federal firearms 
laws, or regulations that otherwise prohibit such actions.
    The proposed action is in accordance with the PG&E's application 
dated September 24, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13268A398), as 
supplemented by letters dated December 18, 2013, May 15, 2014 (ADAMS 
Accession No. ML14135A379), and March 26, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. 
ML15085A572).

The Need for the Proposed Action

    The proposed action would allow the transfer, receipt, possession, 
transportation, importation, and use of those firearms and devices 
needed in the performance of official duties required for the 
protection of an NRC designated facility and associated special nuclear 
materials, consistent with the DCPP NRC-approved security plan.

Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Action

    The NRC has completed its evaluation of the proposed action and 
concludes that the proposed action would only allow the use of those 
firearms and devices necessary to protect DCPP and associated special 
nuclear materials, consistent with the DCPP NRC-approved security plan. 
Therefore, the proposed action would not significantly increase the 
probability or consequences of accidents. In addition, the proposed 
action would not change the types and the amounts of any effluents that 
may be released offsite. There would also be no significant increase in 
occupational or public radiation exposure. Therefore, there would be no 
significant radiological environmental impacts associated with the 
proposed action.
    The proposed action would not impact land, air, or water resources, 
including biota. In addition, the proposed action would not result in 
any socioeconomic or environmental justice impacts or impacts to 
historic and cultural resources. Therefore, there would also be no 
significant non-radiological environmental impacts associated with the 
proposed action.
    Accordingly, the NRC concludes that the issuance of the requested

[[Page 66056]]

amendments would not result in significant environmental impacts.
    The NRC will publish in the Federal Register a copy of the final 
environmental assessment as part of the final finding of no significant 
impact.

Environmental Impacts of the Alternatives to the Proposed Action

    As an alternative to the proposed action, the staff considered 
denying the proposed action (i.e., the ``no-action'' alternative). 
Denial of the license amendment request would result in no change in 
current environmental conditions at the DCPP.

Alternative Use of Resources

    The proposed action would not involve the use of any resources.

Agencies and Persons Consulted

    The staff did not consult with any Federal agency or California 
state agencies regarding the environmental impact of the proposed 
action.

IV. Finding of No Significant Impact

    The licensee has requested license amendments to permit licensee 
security personnel, in the performance of their official duties, to 
transfer, receive, possess, transport, import, and use certain 
firearms, and large capacity ammunition feeding devices not previously 
permitted to be owned or possessed, notwithstanding State, local, and 
certain Federal firearms laws, or regulations that would otherwise 
prohibit such actions.
    On the basis of the information presented in this environmental 
assessment, the NRC concludes that the proposed action would not cause 
any significant environmental impact and would not have a significant 
effect on the quality of the human environment. In addition, the NRC 
has determined that an environmental impact statement is not necessary 
for the evaluation of this proposed action.
    Other than the licensee's application dated September 24, 2013,
