Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 35 / Tuesday, February 23, 2016 / Notices
As documented in the EA, the NRC
staff concluded that the proposed action
will not authorize or result in changes
to licensed operations, land-disturbing
activities, or changes in the types,
characteristics, or quantities of
radiological or non-radiological
effluents released into the environment
from the ISFSI. The staff also concluded
that the radiological or non-radiological
impacts from approval of the license
amendment request would be small, and
the proposed action would not
significantly contribute to cumulative
impacts. In addition, the staff does not
expect that the proposed action would
adversely affect any offsite population
and, thus, no special circumstances
were identified. The Colorado State
Historic Preservation Office concurred
with the NRC’s determination that the
proposed action would not affect
historic properties, and the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service concurred with the
NRC’s determination that the proposed
action would not affect listed species or
critical habitats. Furthermore, the NRC
determined that the proposed action is
more favorable than the no-action
alternative (denial of the license
amendment request), which would
require DOE to complete the required
corrective actions within the currently
specified response times. Therefore, the
NRC concluded that the proposed action
will not result in a significant effect on
the quality of the human environment.
III. Finding of No Significant Impact
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Based on its review of the proposed
action, in accordance with the
requirements in 10 CFR part 51, the
NRC has concluded that the proposed
action, amendment of NRC Special
Nuclear Materials License No. SNM–
2504 for the FSV ISFSI located in Weld
County, Colorado, will not significantly
affect the quality of the human
environment. Therefore, the NRC has
determined, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.31,
that preparation of an environmental
impact statement is not required for the
proposed action and a FONSI is
appropriate.

of February 2016.

[Docket No. 50–293; NRC–2016–0035]
Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc.,

Nuclear Regulatory
Commission.
ACTION: Petition request; receipt.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is giving notice that
by petition dated June 24, 2015, as
supplemented, David Lochbaum of the
Union of Concerned Scientists and
others (the petitioners) requested that
the NRC take action with regard to the
Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (Pilgrim).
The petitioner’s requests are included in
the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section
of this document.

NRC–2016–0035 when contacting the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June
24, 2015, the petitioners requested that
the NRC take enforcement action with
regard to Pilgrim concerning the current
licensing basis on flooding (ADAMS
Accession No. ML16029A407). The
petitioners requested that the NRC take
enforcement action to require that the
current licensing basis for Pilgrim
explicitly include flooding caused by
SUMMARY:

Frm 00109
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
9003
local intense precipitation or probable
maximum precipitation events.
As the basis for this request, the
petitioners referred to Pilgrim’s flood
reevaluation report provided by Entergy
Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Entergy, the
licensee) to the NRC in a letter dated
March 12, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No.
ML15075A082). The petitioners state
that Pilgrim’s reevaluations indicate that
the site could experience flood levels
from heavy rainfall events nearly ten
feet higher than anticipated when the
plant was originally licensed. Although
existing doors protect important
equipment from being submerged and
damaged, the petitioners assert that
neither regulatory requirements nor
enforceable commitments exist that
ensure the continued reliability of flood
protection features that are currently
installed at the site to protect important
equipment from being submerged and
damaged. The petition states in relevant
part ‘‘the petitioners seek to rectify
safety shortcoming by revising the
current licensing basis to include
flooding caused by heavy rainfall
events.’’
The request is being treated pursuant
to Section 2.206 of title 10 of the Code
of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) of the
NRC’s regulations. A conference call
was held between the petitioner and the
Petition Review Board (PRB) on August
5, 2015, to discuss the petition; the
transcript of that teleconference is an
additional supplement to the petition
(ADAMS Accession No. ML15230A017).
The PRB has reviewed the petition, and
its supplement, and referred the request
to the Director of the Office of Nuclear
Reactor Regulation. The Director
partially granted for review the
petitioners’ concerns that the current
licensing basis be revised to include
specific beyond-design-basis flood
events at Pilgrim. The parts of the
petitioners’ concerns not granted for
review are the impact of precipitation
events on safety-related submerged
cables as this was previously reviewed
and resolved in a prior 10 CFR 2.206
Director’s Decision (ADAMS Accession
No. ML13255A191), and the request for
an updated site plan of Pilgrim, because
this request is outside of the scope of
the 10 CFR 2.206 process. The NRC staff
will hold the petition until a resolution
of ongoing reviews associated with the
subject of the petitioners’ concerns is
achieved.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 11th day
of February 2016.

[Docket No. 50-293; NRC-2016-0035]
Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc., Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Petition request; receipt.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is giving notice
that by petition dated June 24, 2015, as supplemented, David Lochbaum
of the Union of Concerned Scientists and others (the petitioners)
requested that the NRC take action with regard to the Pilgrim Nuclear
Power Station (Pilgrim). The petitioner's requests are included in the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of this document.

NRC's PDR: You may examine and purchase copies of public
documents at the NRC's PDR, Room O1-F21, One White Flint North, 11555

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 24, 2015, the petitioners requested
that the NRC take enforcement action with regard to Pilgrim concerning
the current licensing basis on flooding (ADAMS Accession No.
ML16029A407). The petitioners requested that the NRC take enforcement
action to require that the current licensing basis for Pilgrim
explicitly include flooding caused by local intense precipitation or
probable maximum precipitation events.
As the basis for this request, the petitioners referred to
Pilgrim's flood reevaluation report provided by Entergy Nuclear
Operations, Inc. (Entergy, the licensee) to the NRC in a letter dated
March 12, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15075A082). The petitioners state
that Pilgrim's reevaluations indicate that the site could experience
flood levels from heavy rainfall events nearly ten feet higher than
anticipated when the plant was originally licensed. Although existing
doors protect important equipment from being submerged and damaged, the
petitioners assert that neither regulatory requirements nor enforceable
commitments exist that ensure the continued reliability of flood
protection features that are currently installed at the site to protect
important equipment from being submerged and damaged. The petition
states in relevant part ``the petitioners seek to rectify safety
shortcoming by revising the current licensing basis to include flooding
caused by heavy rainfall events.''
The request is being treated pursuant to Section 2.206 of title 10
of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) of the NRC's regulations. A
conference call was held between the petitioner and the Petition Review
Board (PRB) on August 5, 2015, to discuss the petition; the transcript
of that teleconference is an additional supplement to the petition
(ADAMS Accession No. ML15230A017). The PRB has reviewed the petition,
and its supplement, and referred the request to the Director of the
Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. The Director partially granted
for review the petitioners' concerns that the current licensing basis
be revised to include specific beyond-design-basis flood events at
Pilgrim. The parts of the petitioners' concerns not granted for review
are the impact of precipitation events on safety-related submerged
cables as this was previously reviewed and resolved in a prior 10 CFR
2.206 Director's Decision (ADAMS Accession No. ML13255A191), and the
request for an updated site plan of Pilgrim, because this request is
outside of the scope of the 10 CFR 2.206 process. The NRC staff will
hold the petition until a resolution of ongoing reviews associated with
the subject of the petitioners' concerns is achieved.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 11th day of February 2016.
