operate under its current license until it
expires in 2027.
Other Alternatives to the Proposed
Action—The NRC is considering other
alternatives to the proposed action,
including the granting of WEC’s license
renewal request, but for a period of less
than 40 years. Other alternatives not
listed here may be identified during
scoping or through the EIS development
process.

II. Discussion

IV. Scoping
The NRC staff is conducting a scoping
process for the WEC CFFF EIS. In
accordance with 10 CFR 51.29, the NRC
seeks public input to help the NRC
determine the appropriate scope of the
EIS, including significant environmental
issues to be analyzed in depth, as well
as those that should be eliminated from
detailed study because they are
peripheral or are not significant.
The NRC previously accepted
comments on the draft EA published in
October 2019. Those comments can be
found at https://www.regulations.gov
under Docket ID NRC–2015–0039 or in
NRC’s ADAMS Public Documents
collection at https://www.nrc.gov/
reading-rm/adams.html, and will be
considered in the development of the
EIS.
After the close of the scoping period,
the NRC staff will prepare a concise
summary of its scoping process in
accordance with 10 CFR 51.29(b). The
scoping summary report will be sent to
each participant in the scoping process
for whom the staff has a physical or
email address.
The WEC CFFF EIS will address the
potential impacts from the proposed
action, including both radiological and
non-radiological impacts associated
with the proposed project and its

The NRC intends to prepare an EIS for
the WEC license renewal application for
its CFFF in accordance with part 51 of
title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR) ‘‘Environmental
Protection Regulations for Domestic
Licensing and Related Regulatory
Functions.’’ The NRC will provide the
public with an opportunity to
participate in the environmental
scoping process by inviting them to
submit written comments in the scoping
period.
III. Alternatives To Be Evaluated
The EIS will analyze the
environmental impacts of the proposed
action, the no-action alternative, and
reasonable alternatives. A brief
description of each is provided below.
Proposed action—The proposed
Federal action is to renew WEC’s CFFF
operating license (SNM–1107) which
will allow continued operation of the
facility (i.e., fabricating nuclear fuel for
nuclear reactors) for an additional 40
years.
No-Action Alternative—The no-action
alternative would be to not renew
WEC’s license. Under this alternative,
the NRC would not issue the license
renewal and CFFF would continue to

alternatives. The EIS will also consider
unavoidable adverse environmental
impacts, the relationship between shortterm uses of resources and long-term
productivity, and irreversible and
irretrievable commitments of resources.
The following resource areas were
addressed in the draft EA and, thus, will
be addressed in the EIS: Land use,
transportation, geology and soils, water
resources, ecological resources, air
quality and climate change, noise,
historical and cultural resources, visual
and scenic resources, socioeconomics,
public and occupational health, waste
management, accidents, and
environmental justice.
The NRC encourages members of the
public, local, State, Tribal, and Federal
government agencies to participate in
the scoping process. Written comments
may be submitted during the scoping
period as described in the ADDRESSES
and SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
sections of this document.
The NRC staff will continue its
environmental review of WEC’s license
renewal application, and with an NRC
contractor, prepare a draft EIS and
publish it for public comment as soon
as practicable. The NRC staff plans to
have a public comment period for the
draft EIS. Availability of the draft EIS
and the dates of the public comment
period will be announced in a future
Federal Register notice. The final EIS
will include NRC’s responses to public
comments received on the draft EIS.

responses: 587.
8. The estimated number of annual
respondents: 587.
9. An estimate of the total number of
hours needed annually to comply with
the information collection requirement
or request: 59.
10. Abstract: When a licensee is
unable to use the LVS to perform their
license verification prior to transferring
radioactive materials in quantities of
concern, a manual process is available,
in which licensees submit the NRC
Form 749, ‘‘Manual License Verification
Report.’’ The form provides the
information necessary for the license
issuing agencies to perform the
verification on behalf of the licensee
transferring the radioactive materials.

II. Background
Under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently
submitted a request for renewal of an
existing collection of information to
OMB for review entitled, ‘‘NRC Form
749, ‘‘Manual License Verification
Report’’/License Verification System.’’
The NRC hereby informs potential
respondents that an agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and that a person is
not required to respond to, a collection
of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
The NRC published a Federal
Register notice with a 60-day comment
period on this information collection on
May 1, 2020 (85 FR 25479).
1. The title of the information
collection: NRC Form 749, ‘‘Manual
License Verification Report’’/License
Verification System.
2. OMB approval number: 3150–0223.
3. Type of submission: Extension.
4. The form number if applicable:
NRC Form 749.
5. How often the collection is required
or requested: On occasion. Licensees
subject to part 37 of title 10 of the Code
of Federal Regulations, ‘‘Physical
Protection of Byproduct Material’’
license verification requirements must
verify the legitimacy of the license with
the issuing agency prior to transferring
radioactive materials in quantities of
concern.
6. Who will be required or asked to
respond: Licensees are required to
complete a license verification under
the circumstances noted in 5 above. A
License Verification System (LVS) is
available to provide an electronic
method for fulfilling this requirement.
In cases where a licensee is unable to
use the LVS to perform a verification,
they will provide NRC Form 749 for
manual license verification.
