Agency: Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Agencies and Commissions
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering issuance of amendments to Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR- 31 and DPR-41 issued to Florida Power & Light Company (FPL, the licensee) for operation of Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 3 and 4 (Turkey Point) located in Homestead, Miami-Dade County, Florida. The proposed amendments would increase the ultimate heat sink (UHS) water temperature limit specified in the Turkey Point Technical Specifications (TSs) from 100 degrees Fahrenheit ([deg]F) to 104[emsp14][deg]F and add a surveillance requirement to monitor the UHS temperature more frequently if the UHS temperature approaches the new limit. The NRC did not identify any significant environmental impacts associated with the proposed license amendments based on its evaluation of the information provided in the licensee's application and other available information. Accordingly, the NRC has prepared this Environmental Assessment (EA) and Final Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the proposed license amendments.

Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission, Agencies and Commissions
In accordance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35), the Consumer Product Safety Commission (Commission or CPSC) announces that the Commission has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for extension of approval of a collection of information associated with CPSC-sponsored contests, challenges, and awards (OMB No. 3041-0151). In the Federal Register of May 6, 2014 (79 FR 25844), the CPSC published a notice to announce the agency's intention to seek extension of approval of the collection of information. We received one comment. The commenter states that contests should be targeted to specific consumer segments, eligibility requirements should be indicated in the rules, and that online communities geared toward problem solving should be engaged to provide solutions. The CPSC contests that are directed toward raising awareness are targeted at relevant populations. For example, the poster contest to raise awareness on carbon monoxide poisoning was directed towards children and their families. In addition, consistent with the commenter's recommendation, CPSC contest materials and the related rules have listed applicable eligibility requirements. Finally, online problem solving communities are not precluded from entering contests open to the general public. Thus, we believe that CPSC's contests are consistent with the commenter's objectives. Therefore, by publication of this notice, the Commission announces that CPSC has submitted to the OMB a request for extension of approval of that collection of information, without change.
