Download as PDF 54690 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 189 / Monday, October 4, 2021 / Notices Document,’’ ‘‘Study Requests,’’ ‘‘Comments on Scoping Document 1,’’ ‘‘Request for Cooperating Agency Status,’’ or ‘‘Communications to and from Commission Staff.’’ Any individual or entity interested in submitting study requests, commenting on the PAD or SD1, and any agency requesting cooperating status must do so by November 29, 2021. p. The Commission’s scoping process will help determine the required level of analysis and satisfy the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) scoping requirements, irrespective of whether the Commission prepares an environmental assessment or environmental impact statement. Scoping Meetings Due to on-going concerns with large gatherings related to COVID–19, we do not intend to hold in-person public scoping meetings or an in-person environmental site review. Rather, we will hold virtual public scoping meetings and a virtual environmental site review. The daytime scoping meeting will focus on resource agency, Indian tribes, and non-governmental organization (NGO) concerns, while the evening scoping meeting will focus on receiving input from the public. We invite all interested agencies, Native American tribes, NGOs, and individuals to attend one of these meetings to assist us in identifying the scope of environmental issues that should be analyzed in the NEPA document. These meetings will also cover the Beaver River Hydroelectric Project (P–2645), as this project has the same applicant who filed a PAD and NOI simultaneously with these projects. The dates and times of these meetings are as follows: Date and Time Virtual site tour for all stakeholders: Wednesday, October 27, 2021 9:00 a.m.–11:00 a.m. EDT WebEx meeting details provided by HDR staff Meeting for resource agencies, Tribes, and NGOs: Thursday, October 28, 2021 9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. EDT Call in number: 888–604–9359, Participant passcode: 8998724 Meeting for the general public: Thursday, October 28, 2021 6:30 p.m.–8:30 p.m. EDT Call in number: 888–604–9359, Participant passcode: 8998724 The individuals and entities on the Commission’s mailing list were notified, via electronic notification, of the availability of SD1 on the web.

Abstract: On December 15, 1989, pursuant to Section 112 of the Clean Air Act as amended in 1977 (42 U.S.C. 1857), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) regulations to control radionuclide emissions from several source categories. The regulations are codified at 40 CFR part 61. Of the eight subparts (B, H, I, K, Q, R, T and W) included in the 1989 rule, as currently amended, four apply to privately-operated facilities. In addition to requiring operational practices that limit emissions, subparts B, K, R, and W impose radionuclide dose and/or emission limits, respectively, to underground uranium mines, elemental phosphorous plants, phosphogypsum stacks, and uranium mill tailings impoundments. Facilities must inspect impoundments, measure radionuclide emissions, perform analyses or calculations per EPA procedures, and report the results to the EPA. Information collected is used by the EPA to ensure that public health and the environment continue to be protected from the hazards of airborne radionuclides by compliance with these standards. Compliance is demonstrated through emissions testing and dose calculation when appropriate. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes of facilities associated with the activity of the respondents are: (1) Elemental Phosphorous—325180, (2) Phosphogypsum Stacks—212392, (3) Underground Uranium Mines—212291, and (4) Uranium Mill Tailings—212291. Respondent’s obligation to respond: mandatory (CAA, Sec, 112; 40 CFR part 61). Estimated number of respondents: 25 (total). Frequency of response: Monthly, annual, or one-time depending on the source category and respondent activity. Total estimated burden: 4,146 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $632,392 (per year), which includes $338,600 annualized capital or operation and maintenance costs. Changes in Estimates: Total estimated respondent hours increased from 1,898 hours in the previous approved version E:\FR\FM\04OCN1.SGM 04OCN1
