UNITED STATES OF AMERICA DOCKETED 09/14/04 RAS 8457 NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION SERVED 09/14/04 ATOMIC SAFETY AND LICENSING BOARD PANEL Before the Chief Administrative Judge:
G. Paul Bollwerk, III In the Matter of Docket No. 50-29 YANKEE ATOMIC ELECTRIC COMPANY ASLBP No. 04-831-01-OLA (Yankee Nuclear Power Station License September 14, 2004 Termination Plan)
MEMORANDUM (Deferring Appointment of Licensing Board)
By memorandum dated September 2, 2004, the Secretary of the Commission advised me that, in accordance with 10 C.F.R. § 2.346, she was referring to the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel for appropriate action the pending August 20, 2004 hearing request of Citizens Awareness Network (CAN) in which it challenges the November 24, 2003 request of Yankee Atomic Electric Company (YAEC) for an amendment to its 10 C.F.R. Part 50 license that would approve a license termination plan (LTP) for its Yankee Nuclear Power Station facility and provide criteria to determine the need for NRC approval of changes to the approved LTP. In her memorandum, the Secretary also noted that a August 20, 2004 CAN pleading entitled Motion to Dismiss Proceedings as Improperly Noticed or Clarify and Re-Notice the Proceeding was being retained by the Commission for its consideration.
This is to advise the Commission and the participants that, given the nature of the CAN dismissal/re-noticing motion and its potential impact upon the scope and timing of this
proceeding, the appointment of an Atomic Safety and Licensing Board to preside over this proceeding is being deferred pending resolution of the August 20, 2004 CAN motion.
