Introduction The NRC is considering a request to amend Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-18, issued to Exelon for operation of Ginna, including the general-licensed Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation, Docket No. 72-67, located in Wayne County, NY, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.90. Therefore, as required by 10 CFR 51.21 and 10 CFR 51.33, the NRC has prepared a draft EA documenting its finding. The requested amendment would permit licensee security personnel to use certain firearms and ammunition feeding devices not previously permitted, notwithstanding State, local, and certain Federal firearms laws or regulations that otherwise prohibit such actions. |

| | II. Draft Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact Identification of the Proposed Action: |
| II. Draft Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact
| | The proposed action would permit security personnel at Ginna, in the performance of their official duties, to transfer, receive, possess, transport, import, and use certain firearms, and large capacity ammunition feeding devices not previously permitted to be owned or possessed, notwithstanding State, local, and certain Federal firearms laws, or regulations, that otherwise prohibit such actions. |
| | The proposed action is in accordance with Exelons application August 14, 2013 as supplemented by letters dated November 4, 2013, May 14, 2014, and January 16, 2015. |
| | The Need for the Proposed Action: |
| | The proposed action would allow the transfer, receipt, possession, transportation, importation and use of those firearms and devices needed in the performance of official duties required for the protection of Ginna and associated special nuclear materials, consistent with the Ginna NRC-approved security plan. |
| | Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Action: |
| | The NRC has completed its evaluation of the proposed action and concludes that the proposed action would only allow the use of those firearms and devices necessary to protect Ginna and associated special nuclear material, consistent with the Ginna NRC-approved security plant. Therefore, the proposed action would not significantly increase the probability or consequences of accidents. In addition, the proposed action would not change the types and the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite. There would also be no significant |

| | increase in occupational or public radiation exposure. Therefore, there would be no significant radiological environmental impacts associated with the proposed action. |
| : The proposed action would permit security personnel at Ginna, in the performance of their official duties, to transfer, receive, possess, transport, import, and use certain firearms, and large capacity ammunition feeding devices not previously permitted to be owned or possessed, notwithstanding State, local, and certain Federal firearms laws, or regulations, that otherwise prohibit such actions. The proposed action is in accordance with Exelon's application August 14, 2013 as supplemented by letters dated November 4, 2013, May 14, 2014, and January 16, 2015.
| | The proposed action would not impact land, air, or water resources, including biota. In addition, the proposed action would not result in any socioeconomic or environmental justice impacts or impacts to historic and cultural resources. Therefore, there would also be no significant non-radiological environmental impacts associated with the proposed action. |
| The Need for the Proposed Action
| | Accordingly, the NRC concludes that issuance of the requested amendment would not result in significant environmental impacts. |
| : The proposed action would allow the transfer, receipt, possession, transportation, importation and use of those firearms and devices needed in the performance of official duties required for the protection of Ginna and associated special nuclear materials, consistent with the Ginna NRC-approved security plan.
| | The NRC will publish in the Federal Register a copy of the final environmental assessment as part of the final finding of no significant impact. |
| Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Action
| | Environmental Impacts of the Alternatives to the Proposed Action: |
| : The NRC has completed its evaluation of the proposed action and concludes that the proposed action would only allow the use of those firearms and devices necessary to protect Ginna and associated special nuclear material, consistent with the Ginna NRC-approved security plant. Therefore, the proposed action would not significantly increase the probability or consequences of accidents. In addition, the proposed action would not change the types and the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite. There would also be no significant increase in occupational or public radiation exposure. Therefore, there would be no significant radiological environmental impacts associated with the proposed action. The proposed action would not impact land, air, or water resources, including biota. In addition, the proposed action would not result in any socioeconomic or environmental justice impacts or impacts to historic and cultural resources. Therefore, there would also be no significant non-radiological environmental impacts associated with the proposed action.
| | As an alternative to the proposed action, the staff considered denying the proposed action (i.e., the no-action alternative). Denial of the license amendment request would result in no change in current environmental conditions at Ginna. |
| Accordingly, the NRC concludes that iss uance of the requested amendment would not result in significant environmental impacts. The NRC will publish in the Federal Register a copy of the final environmental assessment as part of the final finding of no significant impact. | | Alternative Use of Resources: |
| Environmental Impacts of the Alternatives to the Proposed Action | | The proposed action would not involve the use of any resources. |
| : As an alternative to the proposed action, the staff considered denying the proposed action (i.e., the "no-action" alternative). Denial of the license amendment request would result in no change in current environmental conditions at Ginna.

| : The proposed action would not involve the use of any resources.
| |
| Agencies and Persons Consulted | |
| : The staff did not consult with any Federal Agency or New York state agencies regarding the environmental impact of the proposed action. III. Finding of No Significant Impact The licensee has requested a license amendment to permit licensee security personnel, in the performance of their official duties, to transfer, receive, possess, transport, import, and use certain firearms, and large capacity ammunition feeding devices not previously permitted to be owned or possessed, notwithstanding State, local, and certain Federal firearms laws, or regulations that would otherwise prohibit such actions.
| |
| On the basis of the information presented in this environmental assessment, the NRC concludes that the proposed action would not cause any significant environmental impact and would not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment. In addition, the NRC has determined that an environmental impa ct statement is not necessary for the evaluation of this proposed action. Other than the licensee's letter dated August 14, 2013, there are no other environmental documents associated with this review. This document is available for public inspection as indicated above.

I. Introduction The NRC is considering a request to amend Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-18, issued to Exelon for operation of Ginna, including the general-licensed Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation, Docket No. 72-67, located in Wayne County, NY, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.90. Therefore, as required by 10 CFR 51.21 and 10 CFR 51.33, the NRC has prepared a draft EA documenting its finding. The requested amendment would permit licensee security personnel to use certain firearms and ammunition feeding devices not previously permitted, notwithstanding State, local, and certain Federal firearms laws or regulations that otherwise prohibit such actions.
II. Draft Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact Identification of the Proposed Action:
The proposed action would permit security personnel at Ginna, in the performance of their official duties, to transfer, receive, possess, transport, import, and use certain firearms, and large capacity ammunition feeding devices not previously permitted to be owned or possessed, notwithstanding State, local, and certain Federal firearms laws, or regulations, that otherwise prohibit such actions.
The proposed action is in accordance with Exelons application August 14, 2013 as supplemented by letters dated November 4, 2013, May 14, 2014, and January 16, 2015.
The Need for the Proposed Action:
The proposed action would allow the transfer, receipt, possession, transportation, importation and use of those firearms and devices needed in the performance of official duties required for the protection of Ginna and associated special nuclear materials, consistent with the Ginna NRC-approved security plan.
Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Action:
The NRC has completed its evaluation of the proposed action and concludes that the proposed action would only allow the use of those firearms and devices necessary to protect Ginna and associated special nuclear material, consistent with the Ginna NRC-approved security plant. Therefore, the proposed action would not significantly increase the probability or consequences of accidents. In addition, the proposed action would not change the types and the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite. There would also be no significant
increase in occupational or public radiation exposure. Therefore, there would be no significant radiological environmental impacts associated with the proposed action.
The proposed action would not impact land, air, or water resources, including biota. In addition, the proposed action would not result in any socioeconomic or environmental justice impacts or impacts to historic and cultural resources. Therefore, there would also be no significant non-radiological environmental impacts associated with the proposed action.
Accordingly, the NRC concludes that issuance of the requested amendment would not result in significant environmental impacts.
The NRC will publish in the Federal Register a copy of the final environmental assessment as part of the final finding of no significant impact.
Environmental Impacts of the Alternatives to the Proposed Action:
As an alternative to the proposed action, the staff considered denying the proposed action (i.e., the no-action alternative). Denial of the license amendment request would result in no change in current environmental conditions at Ginna.
Alternative Use of Resources:
The proposed action would not involve the use of any resources.
Agencies and Persons Consulted:
The staff did not consult with any Federal Agency or New York state agencies regarding the environmental impact of the proposed action.
III. Finding of No Significant Impact The licensee has requested a license amendment to permit licensee security personnel, in the performance of their official duties, to transfer, receive, possess, transport, import, and use certain firearms, and large capacity ammunition feeding devices not previously permitted to be owned or possessed, notwithstanding State, local, and certain Federal firearms laws, or regulations that would otherwise prohibit such actions.
On the basis of the information presented in this environmental assessment, the NRC concludes that the proposed action would not cause any significant environmental impact and would not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment. In addition, the NRC has determined that an environmental impact statement is not necessary for the evaluation of this proposed action.
Other than the licensees letter dated August 14, 2013, there are no other environmental documents associated with this review. This document is available for public inspection as indicated above.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 22nd day of October, 2015.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
