Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 224 / Wednesday, November 20, 2019 / Notices
containing more than 105A2 has not
been demonstrated to meet the deepwater immersion requirements of 10
CFR 71.61, i.e., the package’s
undamaged containment system has not
been shown that it can withstand an
external water pressure of 2 MegaPascal
for a period of not less than 1 hour
without collapse, buckling, or in-leakage
of water.
Along with its exemption request,
NWP also requests approval from the
NRC for an increase in: (1) The A2 limit
from less than 105A2 to 2.1x105A2 and
(2) the authorized decay heat limit from
80 watts (W) to 190 W. The A2 and
decay heat limits are established in the
TRUPACT–III Certificate of Compliance
No. 9305, Revision No. 10 (ADAMS
Package Accession No. ML18171A176).
The TRUPACT–III is a shipping
container used to transport transuranic
(TRU) waste within an SLB2. The
TRUPACT–III packages are front loaded
in a horizontal position on customdesigned trailers for truck transport. The
two TRUPACT–III packages will be
transported by truck from the SRS in
South Carolina, to the U.S. Department
of Energy WIPP, Carlsbad, New Mexico.
The SLB2 waste boxes have not yet
been loaded into the TRUPACT–III
packages and are currently sitting on a
storage pad at SRS. The contents of each
SLB2 waste box is primarily one-half of
a decommissioned tank used to process
Plutonium-238.
II. Environmental Assessment
Description of the Proposed Action
Under the requirements of 10 CFR
51.21 and 51.30(a), the NRC staff
developed an EA (ADAMS Accession
No. ML19317E461) to evaluate the
proposed Federal action, which is for
the NRC to grant an exemption to NWP
from the deep-water immersion test
requirements for the one-time transport
of two TRUPACT–III packages from SRS
to WIPP.
Need for the Proposed Action
The EA defines the NRC’s proposed
action (i.e., to grant NWP’s exemption
request from 10 CFR 71.61) and the
purpose and need for the proposed
action. Evaluations of the potential
environmental impacts of the proposed
action and alternatives to the proposed
action were considered, followed by the
NRC’s conclusion.
Environmental Impacts of the Proposed
Action
The EA evaluates the potential
environmental impacts of granting the
exemption of the two subject
TRUPACT–III packages from the deep-

Jkt 250001
water immersion test. The only
potential impacts from granting the
exemption would be radiological
impacts associated with an accident
scenario. However, the analysis in the
EA shows that there would be no
radiological impacts as a result of
exempting these two packages from the
deep-water immersion test since the
packages will not cross any body of
water with a depth greater than 15
meters (m) (50 feet [ft]). Any
nonradiological impacts would be no
greater than those for the transport of
any other TRUPACT–III package and
would be bounded by previous
environmental analyses (NUREG–0170,
Vol. 1; ADAMS Accession No.
ML12192A283). Therefore, the
environmental impacts of transporting
these two TRUPACT–III packages from
SRS to WIPP are still bounded by those
impacts documented in NUREG–0170.
Environmental Impacts of the
Alternatives to the Proposed Action
As an alternative to the proposed
action, the staff considered denial of the
proposed action (i.e., the ‘‘no-action’’
alternative); further segmenting the
waste; using a different type of package;
and storing the waste until the activity
decays below 105A2. None of the
alternatives is preferable to the
proposed action because either the
impacts are greater than the proposed
action or they do not meet the purpose
and need of the proposed action.
Therefore, the proposed action is the
preferred alternative.
Agencies and Persons Consulted
In accordance with its stated policy,
on September 23, 2019, the staff
consulted with the States of South
Carolina and New Mexico regarding the
environmental impact of the proposed
action (ADAMS Accession Package Nos.
ML19269E263, and ML19269E169,
respectively). The NRC did not receive
any comments on the draft EA (ADAMS
Accession Nos. ML19304B327, and
ML19310F330, respectively).
III. Finding of No Significant Impact
The NRC staff has prepared an EA and
FONSI in support of the proposed
action. The EA is available at ADAMS
Accession No. ML19317E461. The NRC
staff has concluded that the proposed
action, for the NRC to grant an
exemption to NWP from the deep-water
immersion test for the transport of two
SLB2 waste boxes in Model No.
TRUPACT–III packages from SRS to
WIPP, will not significantly impact the
quality of the human environment, and
that the proposed action is the preferred
alternative. The environmental impacts

of the two packages are bounded by
previous NRC environmental analysis
since the packages will not cross bodies
of water greater than 15 m (50 ft) in
depth.
The NRC staff has determined that the
exemption from the deep-water
immersion test for the two subject
packages would have no impact on
historic and cultural resources or
ecological resources and, therefore, no
consultations are necessary under
Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act and Section 7 of the
Endangered Species Act, respectively.
The NRC finds that there are no
significant environmental impacts from
the proposed action, and that
preparation of an environmental impact
statement is not warranted.
Accordingly, the NRC has determined
that a FONSI is appropriate.
