horses and burros are those that are
either supported by quantitative
information or studies or those that
include citations to and analysis of
applicable laws and regulations. Except
for comments provided in electronic
format, speakers should submit two
copies of their written comments where
feasible. The BLM will not necessarily
consider comments received after the

address. However, if you do not want
the BLM to release your name and
address in response to a FOIA request,
you must state this prominently at the
beginning of your comment. The BLM

allowed by law. The BLM will release
all submissions from organizations or
businesses, and from individuals
identifying themselves as
representatives or officials of
organizations or businesses, in their
entirety, including names and
addresses.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
Advisory Committee on Nuclear
Waste; Procedures for Meetings
Background
This notice describes procedures to be
followed with respect to meetings
conducted pursuant to the Federal
Advisory Committee Act by the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission’s (NRC’s)
Advisory Committee on Nuclear Waste
(ACNW). These procedures are set forth
so that they may be incorporated by
reference in future notices for
individual meetings.
The ACNW advises the NRC on
technical issues related to nuclear
materials and waste management. The
bases of ACNW reviews include 10 CFR
parts 20, 60, 61, 63, 70, 71, and 72 and
other applicable regulations and
legislative mandates, such as the
Nuclear Waste Policy Act as amended,
the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy
Act as amended, and the Uranium Mill
Tailings Radiation Control Act, as
amended. The Committee’s reports
become a part of the public record.
The ACNW meetings are normally
open to the public and provide
opportunities for oral or written
statements from members of the public
to be considered as part of the
Committee’s information gathering
process. The meetings are not
adjudicatory hearings such as those
conducted by the NRC’s Atomic Safety
and Licensing Board Panel as part of the
Commission’s licensing process. ACNW
meetings are conducted in accordance
with the Federal Advisory Committee
Act.
General Rules Regarding ACNW
Meetings
An agenda is published in the Federal
Register for each full Committee
meeting and is available on the Internet
at http://www.nrc.gov/ACRSACNW.
There may be a need to make changes
to the agenda to facilitate the conduct of
the meeting. The Chairman of the
Committee is empowered to conduct the
meeting in a manner that, in his
judgment, will facilitate the orderly
conduct of business, including making
provisions to continue the discussion of
matters not completed on the scheduled
day during another meeting. Persons

planning to attend a meeting may
contact the Designated Federal Official
(DFO) specified in the individual
Federal Register Notice prior to the
meeting to be advised of any changes to
the agenda that may have occurred.
The following requirements shall
apply to public participation in ACNW
meetings:
(a) Persons who plan to make oral
statements and/or submit written
comments at the meeting should
provide 50 copies to the DFO at the
beginning of the meeting. Persons who
cannot attend the meeting but wishing
to submit written comments regarding
the agenda items may do so by sending
a readily reproducible copy addressed
to the DFO specified in the Federal
Register Notice for the individual
meeting in care of the Advisory
Committee on Nuclear Waste, U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
Washington, DC 20555–0001.
Comments should be in the possession
of the DFO prior to the meeting to allow
time for reproduction and distribution.
Comments should be limited to topics
being considered by the Committee.
(b) Persons desiring to make oral
statements at the meeting should make
a request to do so to the DFO. If
possible, the request should be made
five days before the meeting, identifying
the topics to be discussed and the
amount of time needed for presentation
so that orderly arrangements can be
made. The Committee will hear oral
statements on topics being reviewed at
an appropriate time during the meeting
as scheduled by the Chairman.
(c) Information regarding topics to be
discussed, changes to the agenda,
whether the meeting has been canceled
or rescheduled, and the time allotted to
present oral statements can be obtained
by contacting the DFO specified in the
individual Federal Register Notice.
(d) The use of still, motion picture,
and television cameras will be
permitted at the discretion of the
Chairman and subject to the condition
that the physical installation and
presence of such equipment will not
interfere with the conduct of the
meeting. The DFO will have to be
notified prior to the meeting and will
authorize the installation or use of such
equipment after consultation with the
Chairman. The use of such equipment
will be restricted as is necessary to
protect proprietary or privileged
information that may be present in the
meeting room. Electronic recordings
will be permitted only during those
portions of the meeting that are open to
the public.
(e) A transcript is kept for certain
open portions of the meeting and will be

progress. Such meetings are called
Working Group meetings. These
Working Group meetings will also be
conducted in accordance with these
procedures noted above for the ACNW
meeting, as appropriate. When Working
Group meetings are held at locations
other than at NRC facilities,
reproduction facilities may not be

NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
Biweekly Notice; Applications and
Amendments to Facility Operating
Licenses Involving No Significant
Hazards Considerations
I. Background
Pursuant to section 189a.(2) of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended
(the Act), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (the Commission or NRC
staff) is publishing this regular biweekly
notice. The Act requires the
Commission publish notice of any
amendments issued, or proposed to be
issued and grants the Commission the
authority to issue and make
immediately effective any amendment
to an operating license upon a
determination by the Commission that
such amendment involves no significant
hazards consideration, notwithstanding
the pendency before the Commission of
a request for a hearing from any person.
This biweekly notice includes all
notices of amendments issued, or
proposed to be issued from September
6, 2005, to September 29, 2005. The last
biweekly notice was published on
September 27, 2005 (70 FR 56499).

Notice of Consideration of Issuance of
Amendments to Facility Operating
Licenses, Proposed No Significant
Hazards Consideration Determination,
and Opportunity for a Hearing
The Commission has made a
proposed determination that the
following amendment requests involve
no significant hazards consideration.
Under the Commission’s regulations in
10 CFR 50.92, this means that operation
of the facility in accordance with the
proposed amendment would not (1)
involve a significant increase in the
probability or consequences of an
accident previously evaluated; or (2)
create the possibility of a new or
different kind of accident from any
accident previously evaluated; or (3)
involve a significant reduction in a
margin of safety. The basis for this
proposed determination for each
amendment request is shown below.
The Commission is seeking public
comments on this proposed
determination. Any comments received
within 30 days after the date of
publication of this notice will be
considered in making any final
determination. Within 60 days after the
date of publication of this notice, the
licensee may file a request for a hearing
with respect to issuance of the
amendment to the subject facility
operating license and any person whose
interest may be affected by this
proceeding and who wishes to
participate as a party in the proceeding
must file a written request for a hearing
and a petition for leave to intervene.
Normally, the Commission will not
issue the amendment until the
expiration of 60 days after the date of
publication of this notice. The
Commission may issue the license
amendment before expiration of the 60day period provided that its final
determination is that the amendment
involves no significant hazards
consideration. In addition, the
Commission may issue the amendment
prior to the expiration of the 30-day
comment period should circumstances
change during the 30-day comment
period such that failure to act in a
timely way would result, for example in
derating or shutdown of the facility.
Should the Commission take action
prior to the expiration of either the
comment period or the notice period, it
will publish in the Federal Register a
notice of issuance. Should the
Commission make a final No Significant
Hazards Consideration Determination,
any hearing will take place after
issuance. The Commission expects that
the need to take this action will occur
very infrequently.
