SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing an 
exemption to certain inventory-related requirements of 10 CFR 74.19(b) 
and 10 CFR 74.19(c) for Possession Only License No. DPR-45, issued to 
Dairyland Power Cooperative (DPC) (the licensee) for the La Crosse 
Boiling Water Reactor in Genoa, Wisconsin. NRC has prepared an 
Environmental Assessment (EA) in support of this amendment in 
accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 51. Based on the EA, 
the NRC has concluded that a Finding of No Significant Impact is 
appropriate. The exemption will be issued following the publication of 
this Notice.

II. EA Summary

    The proposed action is to grant an exemption to DPC from certain 
inventory-related requirements of 10 CFR 74.19(b) and 10 CFR 74.19(c), 
until the time the spent fuel is moved from the spent fuel pool to dry 
cask storage.
    The staff has prepared the EA in support of the proposed exemption. 
The proposed action is an administrative action and will not result in 
any significant environmental impacts. The proposed action will not 
result in the release of any chemical or radiological constituents to 
the environment and will not affect any environmental resources. The 
proposed action will not cause any adverse impacts to local land use, 
biotic resources, or cultural or historic resources.

III. Finding of No Significant Impact

    Pursuant to 10 CFR Part 51, the NRC staff has considered the 
environmental consequences of granting DPC an exemption from certain 
inventory-related requirements of 10 CFR 74.19(b) and 10 CFR 74.19(c). 
On the basis of this assessment, the Commission has concluded that 
there are no significant environmental impacts from the proposed 
action, and the Commission is making a finding of no significant 
impact. Accordingly, preparation of an environmental impact statement 
is not warranted.
