Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 157 / Wednesday, August 13, 2008 / Notices
number. The NRC published a Federal
Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period on this information collection on
March 17, 2008. No comments were
received.
1. Type of submission, new, revision,
or extension: Revision.
2. The title of the information
collection: 48 CFR 20, U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission Acquisition
Regulation (NRCAR).
3. The form number if applicable:
N/A.
4. How often the collection is
required: On occasion; one time.
5. Who will be required or asked to
report: Potential contractors.
6. An estimate of the number of
annual responses: 3,837 responses
(3,482 responses + 355 recordkeepers).
7. The estimated number of annual
respondents: There are 355 potential
contractors who could respond to NRC
solicitations.
8. An estimate of the total number of
hours needed annually to complete the
requirement or request: There is both a
reporting and recordkeeping burden
associated with this collection. The NRC
estimates there will be 3,482 report
submissions amounting to 25,462
burden hours annually. The annual
recordkeeping burden is estimated to be
633 hours for 65 respondents. This
amounts to an overall annual burden of
26,095 hours.
9. An indication of whether Section
3507(d), Public Law 104–13 applies:
N/A.
10. Abstract: The mandatory
requirements of the NRCAR implement
and supplement the government-wide
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR),
and ensure that the regulations
governing the procurement of goods and
services within the NRC satisfy the
particular needs of the agency. Because
of differing statutory authorities among
Federal agencies, the FAR authorizes
agencies to issue regulations to
implement FAR policies and procedures
internally and to include additional
policies and procedures, solicitation
provisions or contract clauses to satisfy
the specific need of the agency.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
November 17, 2005, the U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC or the
Commission) issued NRC Materials
License No. SNM–2514 to the Pacific
Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) for
the Humboldt Bay Independent Spent
Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI), located
in Humboldt County, California. The
license authorizes PG&E to receive,
possess, store, and transfer spent
nuclear fuel and associated radioactive
materials resulting from the operation of
the Humboldt Bay Power Plant in an
ISFSI at the power plant site for a term
of 20 years. The NRC staff also issued
an Environmental Assessment and
PO 00000
Frm 00120
Fmt 4703

Finding of No Significant Impact related
to the issuance of the initial ISFSI
license on November 16, 2005, in
accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act, and in
conformance with the applicable
requirements of 10 CFR part 51.
On March 5, 2008, PG&E submitted an
application to NRC, in accordance with
10 CFR Part 72, requesting an
amendment to NRC Materials License
No. SNM–2514. PG&E’s license
amendment request proposes to revise
the minimum initial fuel enrichment
limit identified in the Technical
Specifications (TS), so that all of the
fuel assemblies currently stored in the
plant’s spent fuel pool may be
transferred and stored in the ISFSI, as
intended. Specifically, PG&E identified
a discrepancy in the minimum initial
fuel enrichment limit listed in TS Table
2.1–1, ‘‘MPC–HB–HB Fuel Assembly
Limits,’’ during its documentation
verification review in preparation for
loading spent fuel into dry storage casks
at the ISFSI. The current license allows
PG&E to store in the ISFSI spent fuel
assemblies that have a minimum initial
fuel enrichment of 2.09 wt-percent
Uranium 235 (U-235). Humboldt Bay,
however, has some spent fuel
assemblies that have an initial fuel
enrichment of 2.08 wt-percent U-235.
NRC approval of the proposed change is
required so that PG&E can store those
fuel assemblies with an initial
enrichment of 2.08 wt-percent U-235 in
the Humboldt Bay ISFSI.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 72.46, the NRC
has docketed, approved and issued
Amendment No. 1 to Materials License
No. SNM–2514 held by PG&E for the
receipt, possession, transfer, and storage
of spent fuel at the Humboldt Bay ISFSI.
Amendment No. 1 authorizes the
storage of spent fuel assemblies with an
initial enrichment of 2.08 wt-percent U235 in the Humboldt Bay ISFSI.
Amendment No. 1 is effective as of the
date of issuance.
Amendment No. 1 complies with the
standards and requirements of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended
(the Act), and the Commission’s rules
and regulations. The Commission has
made appropriate findings, as required
by the Act and the Commission’s rules
and regulations in 10 CFR Chapter I,
which are set forth Amendment No. 1.
The issuance of Amendment No. 1
satisfied the criteria specified in 10 CFR
51.22(c)(11) for a categorical exclusion.
Thus, the preparation of an
environmental assessment or an
environmental impact statement is not
required.
In accordance with 10 CFR
72.46(b)(2), the NRC has determined

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 157 / Wednesday, August 13, 2008 / Notices
that Amendment No. 1 does not present
a genuine issue as to whether public
health and safety will be significantly
affected. Therefore, the publication of a
notice of proposed action and an
opportunity for hearing or a notice of
hearing is not warranted. Notice is
hereby given of the right of interested
persons to request a hearing on whether
the action should be rescinded or
modified.

ACTION: Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request.
AGENCY:
Title: Federal Financial Report (FFR).
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Office of
Management and Budget is
consolidating and replacing four
existing financial reporting forms (SF–
269, SF–269A, SF–272, and SF–272A)
with a single Federal Financial Report
(FFR). The purpose of the FFR is to give
recipients of grants and cooperative
agreements a standard format for
reporting the financial status of their
grants and cooperative agreements
(hereby referred to collectively as
awards). Federal awarding agencies
developed the FFR as part of their
implementation of the Federal Financial
Assistance Management Improvement
Act of 1999 (Pub. L. 106–107).
Respondents: Federal Grants making
agencies and their grantees.
Additional Information: Copies of the
proposed collection may be obtained by
going to OMB’s main Web page at
http://www.OMB.gov and clicking on
the ‘‘Grants Management,’’ then
‘‘Forms’’ then Proposed Government-
Wide Standard Grants Reporting Forms
links.
OMB Comment: OMB is required to
make a decision concerning the
collection of information between 30
and 60 days after publication of this
document in the Federal Register.
Therefore, a comment is best assured of
having its full effect if OMB receives it
within 30 days of publication. Interested
parties are encouraged to send

III. Summary of Actions
The FFR provides a standard format
from which agencies can determine data
elements that recipients must complete
to report on the cash management and
financial status of single or multiple
awards. Consistent with governmentwide grant streamlining objectives, the

FFR will result in the use of standard
reporting period end dates and due
dates for the submission of cash
management and financial information.
As soon as possible after October 1,
2008, and no later than October 1, 2009,
each agency must transition from the
SF–269, SF–269A, SF–272, and SF–
