Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 224 / Wednesday, November 20, 2019 / Notices expires 01/31/2020. State Library Administrative Agencies (SLAAs) are the official agencies of each state charged by state law with the extension and development of public library services throughout the state. (20 U.S.C. Chapter 72, 20 U.S.C. 9122.) The purpose of this survey is to provide state and federal policymakers with information about SLAAs, including their governance, allied operations, developmental services to libraries and library systems, support of electronic information networks and resources, number and types of outlets, and direct services to the public. Through the FY 2010 collection, the SLAA Survey was conducted annually; beginning with the FY 2012 collection, the survey is conducted biennially. Because the FY 2020 collection will not begin until early 2021, we are carrying over the documentation and estimated burden associated with the FY 2018 data. This action is to request a new three year approval of the IMLS administered State Library Administrative Agencies Survey. The 60-day notice for the State Library Administrative Agencies Survey, FY 2020 & FY 2022, was published in the Federal Register on August 27, 2019 (84 FR 44943). No comments were received.

Nuclear Waste Partnerships, LLC SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Nuclear Regulatory Commission. ACTION: Environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact; issuance. I. Introduction On January 28, 2014, Nuclear Waste Partnership, LLC (NWP) requested an exemption pursuant to section 71.12 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), for approval of two shipments, each containing a single package of the Model No. TRUPACT–III package, from the Savannah River Site (SRS) in Aiken, South Carolina to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) near Carlsbad, New Mexico. NWP requested an exemption from the requirements of 10 CFR 71.61, ‘‘Special Requirements for Type B Packages Containing More than 105 A2,’’ and authorization for an increase in the decay heat and A2 limit beyond the limits in Certificate of Compliance No. 9305. On June 29, 2016, the NRC granted NWP’s exemption request and reissued, on May 15, 2019, that authorization and exemption to correct a typographical error in one of the serial numbers for the Standard Large Box 2 (SLB2) associated with the TRUPACT–III package (ADAMS Accession No. ML19135A512). The NWP’s current exemption is set to expire on December 31, 2019. On July 8, 2019, NWP submitted a request to the NRC for a 24-month extension of the current exemption (ADAMS Accession No. ML19190A289) because it had not yet shipped the two subject TRUPACT–III packages. The NRC is treating NWP’s July 8, 2019 request to extend its exemption as a new exemption request—in accordance with 10 CFR 71.12—for the one-time transport of two SLB2 waste boxes, each in a Model No. TRUPACT–III package. Specifically, NWP requests an exemption from the requirements in 10 CFR 71.61, ‘‘Special requirements for Type B packages containing more than 105 A2,’’ (i.e., deep-water immersion test). NWP requests an exemption from the deep-water immersion test because the design of a TRUPACT–III package AGENCY: B.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing an environmental assessment (EA) and finding of no significant impact (FONSI) for an exemption request from Nuclear Waste Partnerships, LLC for the onetime shipment of transuranic waste in two TRUPACT–III packages from the Savannah River Site, Aiken, South Carolina, to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, Carlsbad, New Mexico. DATES: The EA and FONSI referenced in this document are available on November 20, 2019.
