SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background In July 2017, the NRC lowered the fee assessed to applicants and licensees for criminal history record checks from 26 dollars to 10 dollars to draw down on a surplus balance of fee receipts. The NRCs CHP costs have historically been fully covered from fees collected. Over the past several years, the surplus balance of CHP funding has been exhausted, and the program is now operating at a deficit.

Pursuant to requirements in the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990 (31 U.S.C.), the NRC conducts biennial reviews of the charges assessed to applicants and licensees for CHP background checks to assess the suitability of fees to cover both the cost charged by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the costs of NRC to administer the program. The biennial review completed in Fiscal Year (FY) 2019, concluded that the current fee of 10 dollars being charged to applicants and licensees was not sufficient to recover the full cost of administering the program and the NRC should increase its fee. During FY 2020, the fees charged to applicants and licensees for CHP records checks were not raised due to the COVID-19 public health emergency and a decision by the NRC to defer the fee increase temporarily.

II. Discussion The last biennial review completed by NRC at the end of FY 2021 reaffirmed that the current fee of 10 dollars being charged to applicants and licensees was not sufficient to recover the full cost of administering the program, and the NRC should increase its fee to 35 dollars.

This fee is the sum of the user fee charged by the FBI ($11.25 effective January 1, 2019) plus NRCs direct and indirect costs incurred in processing fingerprints.

As a reminder, payment is due upon fingerprint card submission, and the NRCs preferred method of payment is through Pay.gov at https://www.pay.gov which includes payment by debit or credit card or electronic funds transfer (e-check). Although electronic is preferred, the NRC also accepts cashier checks or money orders made payable to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Fingerprint cards along with proof of payment should be sent to:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction The NRC is considering the approval of the initial and updated decommissioning funding plans (DFPs) submitted by GE-Hitachi Nuclear Energy Americas, LLC, (GEH) for the Morris Operation Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI). The NRC staff has prepared a final Environmental Assessment (EA) and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) determination for the initial and updated DFPs in accordance with the NRC regulations in part 51 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Environmental Protection Regulations for Domestic Licensing and Related Regulatory Functions, which implements the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321, et seq.).

The NRC requires its licensees to plan for the eventual decommissioning of their licensed facilities prior to license termination. On June 17, 2011, the NRC published a final rule in the Federal Register amending its decommissioning planning regulations (76 FR 35512). The final rule amended the NRC regulation, 10 CFR 72.30, which concerns financial assurance and decommissioning for ISFSIs. This regulation requires each holder of, or applicant for, a license under 10 CFR part 72 to submit a DFP for the NRCs review and approval. The DFP is to demonstrate the licensees financial assurance, i.e., that funds will be available to decommission the ISFSI.

The NRC staff will later publish its financial analyses of the DFP submittals which will be available for public inspection in ADAMS.

II. Discussion The table in this notice includes the ADAMS accession numbers for the final EA and FONSI determination for the Morris Operation ISFSI. The table also includes the ADAMS accession numbers for other relevant documents, including the initial and updated DFP submittals. For further details with respect to this action, see the NRC staffs final EA and FONSI determinations which are available for public inspection in ADAMS and at https://

www.regulations.gov under Docket ID NRC-2021-0159. For additional direction on accessing information related to this document, see the ADDRESSES section of this document.

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT Facility Morris operation ISFSI Docket No.......................................

72-01.

Licensee..........................................

GEH.

Proposed Action..............................

The NRCs review and approval of GEHs initial and updated DFPs submitted in accordance with 10 CFR 72.30(b) and (c).

Environmental Impact of Proposed Action The NRC staff has determined that the proposed action, the re-view and approval of GEHs initial and updated DFPs, submitted in accordance with 10 CFR 72.30(b) and (c), will not authorize changes to licensed operations or maintenance activities, or result in changes in the types, characteristics, or quantities of radiological or non-radiological effluents released into the environment from the ISFSI, or result in the creation of solid waste. Moreover, the approval of the initial and updated DFPs will not authorize any construction activity, facility modification, or other land-dis-turbing activity. The NRC staff has concluded that the proposed action is a procedural and administrative action that will not have a significant impact on the environment.

Finding of No Significant Impact.....

The proposed action does not require changes to the ISFSIs licensed routine operations, maintenance ac-tivities, or monitoring programs, nor does it require new construction or land-disturbing activities. The scope of the proposed action concerns only the NRCs review and approval of GEHs initial and updated DFPs. The scope of the proposed action does not include, and will not result in, the review and approval of decontamination or decommissioning activities or license termination for the ISFSI. Therefore, the NRC staff determined that approval of the initial and updated DFPs for the Morris Operation ISFSI will not significantly affect the quality of the human environment, and accordingly, the staff has concluded that a FONSI is appropriate. The NRC staff further finds that preparation of an environmental impact statement is not required.
