SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
EMCDONALD on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Discussion
IIFP submitted a license application
and Environmental Report (ER) in
support of its proposed facility on
December 30, 2009. The proposed site is
located in Lea County, New Mexico,
approximately 22.55 kilometers (km) (14
miles [mi]) west of the city of Hobbs.
The Final EIS is being issued as part
of the NRC’s process to decide whether
to issue a license to IIFP, pursuant to
Part 40 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR), to construct and
VerDate Mar<15>2010

operate the proposed depleted uranium
deconversion facility. Specifically, IIFP
proposes to deconvert depleted uranium
hexafluoride (DUF6) into oxide
compounds for long-term disposal. In
the Final EIS, the NRC staff assessed the
potential environmental impacts from
construction, operation, and
decommissioning of the proposed INIS
project.
The Final EIS was prepared in
compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as
amended (NEPA), and the NRC’s
regulations for implementing NEPA in
10 CFR Part 51. The NRC staff assessed
the impacts of the proposed action on
land use, historic and cultural
resources, visual resources, climatology,
meteorology, and air quality, geology,
minerals, and soil, water resources,
ecological resources, socioeconomics
and environmental justice, traffic and
transportation, noise, public and
occupational health, and waste
management. Additionally, the NRC
staff analyzed and compared the
benefits and costs of the proposed
action. In preparing this Final EIS, the
NRC staff also reviewed, considered,
evaluated, and addressed the public
comments received on the Draft EIS.
In addition to the proposed action, the
NRC staff considered a reasonable range
of alternatives, including the no-action
alternative. Under the no-action
alternative, the NRC would deny IIFP’s
request to construct and operate a
depleted uranium deconversion facility
in Hobbs, New Mexico. The no-action
alternative serves as a baseline for
comparison of the potential
environmental impacts of the proposed
action. Other alternatives the NRC staff
considered but eliminated from further
analysis include: (1) Alternative sites;
(2) alternative technologies; (3)
shipment of the U.S. generated DUF6 to
overseas facilities; (4) indefinite storage
at the enrichment facilities; and (5)
construction and operation of
deconversion facilities at the four U.S.based uranium enrichment companies.
These alternatives were eliminated from
further analysis due to economic,
environmental, or other reasons.
After weighing the impacts of the
proposed action and comparing
alternatives, the NRC staff, in
accordance with 10 CFR 51.91(d), sets
forth its recommendation regarding the
proposed action. The NRC staff
recommends that, unless safety issues
mandate otherwise, the proposed
license be issued to IIFP. In this regard,
the NRC staff has concluded that the
environmental impacts of the proposed
action are generally small, and taken in
combination with the proposed IIFP

environmental monitoring program and
proposed mitigation measures discussed
in the Final EIS would eliminate or
substantially lessen any adverse
environmental impacts associated with
the proposed action.

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 170 / Friday, August 31, 2012 / Notices
is particularly interested in comments
that:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
DATES: Comments are encouraged and
will be accepted until October 30, 2012.
This process is conducted in accordance
with 5 CFR 1320.1.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit written comments on
the proposed information collection to
the Federal Investigative Services, U.S.
Office of Personnel Management, 1900 E
Street NW., Washington, DC 20415,
Attention: Laura Eury or sent via
electronic mail to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OPM’s
Federal Investigative Services (FIS),
Freedom of Information and Privacy Act
(FOI/PA) office proposes use of this
optional form (INV 100) to standardize
collection of data elements specific to
FOIA and Privacy Act record requests
submitted to FIS. Current FOIA and
Privacy Act record requests are
submitted to FIS–FOI/PA in a format
chosen by the requester, yet consistent
with the published regulations at 5 CFR
294 and 297, respectively. Often the
requests are missing data elements
which require contact with the requester
via mail, thereby adding time to the
access process. Standardization of the
access process will increase the volume
of perfected requests received and strike
an appropriate balance between the
burden to the public in submitting a
VerDate Mar<15>2010

request and FIS–FOI/PA being able to
verify the identity of the requester,
thereby ensuring Privacy Act Protected
records are not inappropriately released
to third parties. It is estimated that
16,626 individuals will respond
annually. The INV 100 takes
approximately 5 minutes to complete.
The estimated annual burden is 1,386
hours.

Extension:
Form T–6; OMB Control No. 3235–0391;
SEC File No. 270–344.
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities
and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the collection of information
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit this existing collection
of information to the Office of
Management Budget for extension and
approval.
Form T–6 (17 CFR 269.9) is an
application for eligibility and
qualification for a foreign person or
corporation under the Trust Indenture
Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. 77aaa et seq.).
Form T–6 provides the basis for
determining whether a foreign person or
corporation is eligible to serve as a
trustee for qualified indenture. Form T–
6 takes approximately 17 burden hours
per response and is filed by
approximately 15 respondents annually.
We estimate that 25% of the 17 hours
(4.25 hours) is prepared by the filer for
an annual reporting burden of 64 hours
(4.25 hours per response × 15
responses).
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether this proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden imposed by the collection
of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collections
of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology. Consideration
will be given to comments and
suggestions submitted in writing within
60 days of this publication.
