Title: Corporate Credit Unions, 12 CFR part 704. Abstract: Part 704 of NCUA’s regulations established the regulatory framework for corporate credit unions. This includes various reporting and recordkeeping requirements as well as safety and soundness standards. NCUA has established and regulates corporate credit unions pursuant to its authority under sections 120, 201, and 209 of the Federal Credit Union Act, 12 U.S.C. 1766(a), 1781, and 1789. The collection of information is necessary to ensure that corporate credit unions operate in a safe and sound manner by limiting risk to their natural person credit union members and the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund. Affected Public: Private Sector: Notfor-profit institutions. Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 483. By Gerard Poliquin, Secretary of the Board, the National Credit Union Administration, on May 10, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Discussion This supplement evaluates the potential environmental impacts on groundwater and impacts associated with the discharge of any contaminated groundwater to the ground surface due to potential releases from a geologic repository for spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste at Yucca Mountain, Nye County, Nevada. This supplements DOE’s 2002 ‘‘Final Environmental Impact Statement for a Geologic Repository for the Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and High-Level Radioactive Waste at Yucca Mountain, Nye County, Nevada’’ and its 2008 ‘‘Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for a Geologic Repository for the Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and High-Level Radioactive Waste at Yucca Mountain, Nye County, Nevada,’’ in accordance with the findings and scope outlined in the NRC staff’s 2008 ‘‘Adoption Determination Report for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Environmental Impact Statements for the Proposed Geologic Repository at Yucca Mountain.’’ The ADR provided the NRC staff’s conclusion as to whether it is practicable for the NRC to adopt DOE’s EISs under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, as amended. The NRC’s decision on adoption of the EISs will occur after completion of the adjudication under part 2, subpart J of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The scope of this supplement is limited to those areas identified for supplementation in the ADR, specifically, the potential environmental impacts from the proposed repository on groundwater and from surface discharges of groundwater. In the ADR, the NRC staff found that the analysis in DOE’s EISs does not provide adequate discussion of the radiological and nonradiological contaminants that may enter the groundwater over time and E:\FR\FM\13MYN1.SGM 13MYN1 29924 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 93 / Friday, May 13, 2016 / Notices how these contaminants would behave in the aquifer and surrounding environments. This supplement provides the information the NRC staff identified in its ADR as necessary. The supplement describes the affected environment with respect to the groundwater flow path for potential contaminant releases from the repository that could be transported beyond the postclosure regulatory compliance location through the alluvial aquifer in Fortymile Wash and the Amargosa Desert, and to the Furnace Creek and Middle Basin areas of Death Valley. The analysis in this supplement considers both radiological and nonradiological contaminants. Using groundwater modeling, the NRC staff finds that contaminants from the repository would be captured by groundwater withdrawal along the flow path, such as the current pumping in the Amargosa Farms area, or would continue to Death Valley if there is no or reduced pumping. Therefore, this supplement provides a description of the flow path from the postclosure regulatory compliance location to Death Valley, the locations of current groundwater withdrawal, and locations of potential natural discharge along the groundwater flow path. The supplement evaluates the potential radiological and nonradiological environmental impacts to groundwater and at surface discharge locations over a 1-million-year period following repository closure. The analysis considers the potential impacts on the aquifer environment, soils, ecology, public health, and the potential for disproportionate impacts on minority and low-income populations. In addition, this supplement assesses the potential for cumulative impacts that may be associated with other past, present, or reasonably foreseeable future actions. The NRC staff finds that all of the impacts on the resources evaluated in this supplement would be SMALL.

I. Discussion

This supplement evaluates the potential environmental impacts on
groundwater and impacts associated with the discharge of any
contaminated groundwater to the ground surface due to potential
releases from a geologic repository for spent nuclear fuel and high-
level radioactive waste at Yucca Mountain, Nye County, Nevada. This
supplements DOE's 2002 ``Final Environmental Impact Statement for a
Geologic Repository for the Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and High-
Level Radioactive Waste at Yucca Mountain, Nye County, Nevada'' and its
2008 ``Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for a Geologic
Repository for the Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and High-Level
Radioactive Waste at Yucca Mountain, Nye County, Nevada,'' in
accordance with the findings and scope outlined in the NRC staff's 2008
``Adoption Determination Report for the U.S. Department of Energy's
Environmental Impact Statements for the Proposed Geologic Repository at
Yucca Mountain.'' The ADR provided the NRC staff's conclusion as to
whether it is practicable for the NRC to adopt DOE's EISs under the
Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, as amended. The NRC's decision on
adoption of the EISs will occur after completion of the adjudication
under part 2, subpart J of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
The scope of this supplement is limited to those areas identified
for supplementation in the ADR, specifically, the potential
environmental impacts from the proposed repository on groundwater and
from surface discharges of groundwater. In the ADR, the NRC staff found
that the analysis in DOE's EISs does not provide adequate discussion of
the radiological and nonradiological contaminants that may enter the
groundwater over time and

how these contaminants would behave in the aquifer and surrounding
environments. This supplement provides the information the NRC staff

affected environment with respect to the groundwater flow path for
