Recertification Decision
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Recertification decision.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: With this document, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
recertifies that the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Waste Isolation
Pilot Plant (WIPP) continues to comply with the ``Environmental
Standards for the Management and Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel, High-
Level and Transuranic (TRU) Radioactive Waste.'' EPA initially
certified that WIPP met applicable regulatory requirements on May 18,
1998, and the first shipment of waste was received at WIPP on March 26,
1999. The first Compliance Recertification Application (CRA) was
submitted by DOE to EPA on March 26, 2004, and the Agency's first
recertification decision was issued on March 29, 2006.
DATES: Effective November 18, 2010.

New Use Rule
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is withdrawing a significant new use rule (SNUR)
promulgated under section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act
(TSCA) for the chemical substance identified as cobalt lithium
manganese nickel oxide (CAS No. 182442-95-1), which was the subject of
premanufacture notice (PMN) P-04-269. EPA published the SNUR using
direct final rulemaking procedures. EPA received a notice of intent to
submit adverse comments on the rule. Therefore, the Agency is
withdrawing the SNUR, as required under the expedited SNUR rulemaking
process. Elsewhere in today's Federal Register, EPA is publishing
(under separate notice and comment rulemaking procedures), a proposed
SNUR for this substance.
DATES: This final rule is effective November 19, 2010.

Amendment to Facility Operating License, Proposed No Significant

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, the Commission) is
considering issuance of an amendment to Facility Operating License No.
DPR-20 issued to Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (the licensee) for
operation of the Palisades Nuclear Plant (PNP) located in Van Buren
County, Michigan.
The proposed amendment would revise Section 2.E. of the PNP Renewed
Facility Operating License. The change would remove the name of the
former operator of the plant in the title of the PNP physical security
plan and replace it with Entergy Nuclear. The change would also remove
the security plan revision number and the date the plan was submitted
to the NRC.
Before issuance of the proposed license amendment, the Commission
will have made findings required by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as
amended (the Act), and the Commission's regulations.
The Commission has made a proposed determination that the amendment
request involves no significant hazards consideration. Under the
Commission's regulations in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(10 CFR), Sec. 50.92, this means that operation of the facility in
accordance with the proposed amendment would not (1) involve a
significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident
previously evaluated; or (2) create the possibility of a new or
different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated; or
(3) involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety. As required
by 10 CFR 50.91(a), the licensee has provided its analysis of the issue
of no significant hazards consideration,
