SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ddrumheller on DSK6VXHR33PROD with NOTICES I. Summary The NRC staff has evaluated the environmental impacts of a requested exemption from paragraph 72.106(b) of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), which requires the distance from an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) to the ISFSI CAB to be a minimum of 100 meters (the proposed action). This EA has been prepared pursuant to the NRC regulations in 10 CFR part 51, which implement the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. The EA concludes there are no environmental impacts from the proposed action and a FONSI is appropriate. The EA describes the requested exemption by Southern California Edison (SCE) to reduce the CAB to the SONGS perimeter fence line. This exemption will allow the minimum distance from the closest ISFSI storage location to the CAB to be 38 meters on the western (seaward) side and 95 meters on the eastern (landward) side. Since SCE will no longer control VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:26 Dec 27, 2022 Jkt 259001 areas beyond its perimeter, SCE will modify post-accident emergency agreements. SCE has agreements with Camp Pendleton, State, and local authorities to remove people from these areas during emergencies such as hostile action, natural disaster, or fire. The reduction of the CAB presents no additional risk to the public and it satisfies a lease condition between SCE and the California State Lands Commission. The requested exemption is an administrative action and does not involve any construction or ground disturbing activities. The EA evaluated any environmental impacts including impacts to occupational health and impacts from potential acts of terrorism. The NRC has concluded that there are no impacts to land, air, or water resources. The probability of a significant radioactive release caused by a terrorist attack remains very low, and the potential health and land contamination effects of the most severe plausible attack would not be altered by the proposed CAB as compared to the existing CAB. II. Finding of No Significant Impact Based on its review of the proposed action, in accordance with the requirements in 10 CFR part 51, the NRC staff has concluded that the requested exemption to the ISFSI CAB boundary will not have a significant environmental impact as discussed in the EA and will not significantly affect the quality of the environment. Therefore, the NRC staff 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Summary

    The NRC staff has evaluated the environmental impacts of a 
requested exemption from paragraph 72.106(b) of title 10 of the Code of 
Federal Regulations (10 CFR), which requires the distance from an 
Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) to the ISFSI CAB to 
be a minimum of 100 meters (the proposed action). This EA has been 
prepared pursuant to the NRC regulations in 10 CFR part 51, which 
implement the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 
1969. The EA concludes there are no environmental impacts from the 
proposed action and a FONSI is appropriate. The EA describes the 
requested exemption by Southern California Edison (SCE) to reduce the 
CAB to the SONGS perimeter fence line. This exemption will allow the 
minimum distance from the closest ISFSI storage location to the CAB to 
be 38 meters on the western (seaward) side and 95 meters on the eastern 
(landward) side. Since SCE will no longer control areas beyond its 
perimeter, SCE will modify post-accident emergency agreements. SCE has 
agreements with Camp Pendleton, State, and local authorities to remove 
people from these areas during emergencies such as hostile action, 
natural disaster, or fire. The reduction of the CAB presents no 
additional risk to the public and it satisfies a lease condition 
between SCE and the California State Lands Commission.
    The requested exemption is an administrative action and does not 
involve any construction or ground disturbing activities. The EA 
evaluated any environmental impacts including impacts to occupational 
health and impacts from potential acts of terrorism. The NRC has 
concluded that there are no impacts to land, air, or water resources. 
The probability of a significant radioactive release caused by a 
terrorist attack remains very low, and the potential health and land 
contamination effects of the most severe plausible attack would not be 
altered by the proposed CAB as compared to the existing CAB.

II. Finding of No Significant Impact

    Based on its review of the proposed action, in accordance with the 
requirements in 10 CFR part 51, the NRC staff has concluded that the 
requested exemption to the ISFSI CAB boundary will not have a 
significant environmental impact as discussed in the EA and will not 
significantly affect the quality of the environment. Therefore, the NRC 
staff 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.
