SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC 
or the Commission) has issued Amendment No. 6 to Special Nuclear 
Materials License SNM-2509 held by Portland General Electric Company 
(PGE) for the receipt, possession, transfer, and storage of spent fuel 
at the Trojan Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI), 
located in Columbia County, Oregon. The amendment is effective as of 
the date of issuance.
    By application dated May 23, 2005, PGE requested to amend the 
Trojan ISFSI license (SNM-2509) to revise the methodology applied in 
the Final Safety Analysis Report. The application requested NRC's 
review and approval of revised methodology used to determine the 
controlled area boundary for the Trojan ISFSI and reduce the controlled 
area from 300 meters from the edge of the pad to 200 meters from the 
edge of the pad. This amendment complies with the standards and 
requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), 
and the Commission's rules and regulations. The Commission has made 
appropriate findings as required by the Act and the Commission's rules 
and regulations in 10 CFR Chapter I, which are set forth in the license 
amendment.
    In accordance with 10 CFR 72.46(b)(2), a determination has been 
made that the amendment does not present a genuine issue as to whether 
public health and safety will be significantly affected. Therefore, the

publication of a notice of proposed action and an opportunity for 
hearing or a notice of hearing is not warranted. Notice is hereby given 
of the right of interested persons to request a hearing on whether the 
action should be rescinded or modified. Also in connection with this 
action, the Commission performed an Environmental Assessment and 
determined that a Finding of No Significant Impact was appropriate for 
this action.
    Further Information: The NRC has prepared a Safety Evaluation 
Report (SER) that documents the information that was reviewed and NRC's 
conclusion. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of NRC's ``Rules of 
Practice,'' final NRC records and documents regarding this proposed 
action including the amendment request dated May 23, 2005, and the SER 
are publically available in the records component of NRC's Agencywide 
Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). These documents may be 
inspected at NRC's Public Electronic Reading Room on the Internet at 
http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. 
These documents may also be 
viewed electronically on the public computers, located at the NRC 
Public Document Room (PDR), O1F21, One White Flint North, 11555 
Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD 20852.
    The PDR reproduction contractor will copy documents for a fee. 
Persons who do not have access to ADAMS or who encounter problems in

Reference staff by telephone at 1-800-397-4209 or (301) 415-4737, or by
