13139 Federal Register/Vol. 72, No. 53/Tuesday, March 20, 2007/Notices projected to be greater than those associated with the proposed action. In
the case of the latter, radiological
impacts and transportation risks would
be similar to those associated with the proposed action with higher implementation costs.
Conclusion The NRC staff has concluded that the proposed action will not significantly
impact the quality of the human
environment, and that the proposed
action is the preferred alternative.
Agencies and Persons Consulted NRC provided a draft of this Environmental Assessment to the State of Idaho Department of Environmental
Quality and the Texas Department of
State Health Services for review on
February 5, 2007. Minor comments
received from both agencies via e-mail
have been incorporated herein or
otherwise resolved.
The NRC staff has determined that the transportation of the subject material
over preexisting rail transportation
routes for disposal at a preexisting
facility is not likely to jeopardize the
continued existence of any endangered
species or threatened species or result in
the destruction or adverse modification
of the habitat of such species. Therefore, no further consideration is required under Section 7 of the Endangered
Species Act. The NRC staff has also
determined that the proposed action is
not the type of activity that has the
potential to cause effects on historic
properties. Therefore, no further
consultation is required under Section
106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act.
III. Finding of No Significant Impact The NRC staff has prepared this EA in support of the proposed action. On the
basis of this EA, the NRC finds that
there are no significant environmental
impacts resulting from the proposed action and that preparation of an environmental impact statement is not
warranted. Accordingly, the NRC has
determined that a Finding of No
Significant Impact is appropriate.
IV. Further Information Documents related to this action are available electronically in the NRCs
Reading Room at http://www.nrc.gov/
reading-rm/adams.html. From this site, you can access NRCs Agencywide
Document Access and Management
System (ADAMS), which provides text

BILLING CODE 7590-01-P NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50-400]
Notice of Opportunity for Hearing, and Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement and Conduct the Scoping Process for
Facility Operating License No. NPF-63
for an Additional 20-Year Period
Carolina Power & Light Company
Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) is considering an application for the renewal of operating license NPF-63, which authorizes the Carolina Power &
Light Company (CP&L), doing business as Progress Energy Carolinas, Inc., to
operate the Shearon Harris Nuclear
Power Plant, (HNP), Unit 1, at 2900
megawatts thermal. The renewed
license would authorize the applicant to
operate the HNP, Unit 1, for an
additional 20 years beyond the period
specified in the current license. HNP, Unit 1, is located in Wake County, North Carolina, and its current
operating license expires on October 24, 2026.On November 16, 2006, the Commissions staff received an
application from CP&L to renew
operating license NPF-63 for HNP, Unit
1, pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations, Part 54 (10 CFR
Part 54). A notice of receipt and
availability of the license renewal
application (LRA) was published in the
Federal Register on December 11, 2006 (71 FR 71586). A notice of acceptance
for docketing of the application for
renewal of the facility operating license
was published in the Federal Register on January 12, 2007, (72 FR 1562).
The license renewal process proceeds along two tracks, one for review of
safety issues (10 CFR Part 54) and
another for environmental issues (10
CFR Part 51). An applicant must
provide the NRC an evaluation that
addresses the technical aspects of plant
aging and describes the aging
management programs and activities
that will be relied on to manage aging.
In addition, to support plant operation
for the additional 20 years, the licensee
must prepare an evaluation of the
potential impact on the environment.
The NRC reviews the application, documents its reviews in a safety
evaluation report and supplemental
environmental impact statement, and
performs verification inspections at the
applicants facilities. If the NRC approves a renewed license, the licensee
must continue to comply with all
existing regulations and commitments
associated with the current operating
license as well as those additional
activities required as a result of license
renewal. The licensees activities
continue to be subject to NRC oversight in the period of extended operation.
Before issuance of the requested renewed license, the NRC will have
made the findings required by the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the Commissions rules
and regulations. In accordance with 10
CFR 54.29, the NRC may issue a
renewed license on the basis of its
review if it finds that actions have been VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:08 Mar 19, 2007Jkt 211001PO 00000Frm 00062Fmt 4703Sfmt 4703E:\FR\FM\20MRN1.SGM20MRN1 pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES 13140 Federal Register/Vol. 72, No. 53/Tuesday, March 20, 2007/Notices 1 If the request/petition is filed by e-mail or facsimile, an original and two copies of the

of structures and components that have
been identified as requiring aging management review; and (2) time-limited aging analyses that have been
identified as requiring review, such that there is reasonable assurance that the activities authorized by the renewed
license will continue to be conducted in accordance with the current licensing basis (CLB), and that any changes made
to the plants CLB will comply with the
Act and the Commissions regulations.
In addition, the Commission must find that applicable requirements of Subpart
A of 10 CFR Part 51 have been satisfied, and that matters raised under 10 CFR
2.335 have been addressed.
Within 60 days after the date of publication of this Federal Register notice, any person whose interest may
be affected by this proceeding and who desires to participate as a party in the proceeding must file a written request
for a hearing or a petition for leave to
intervene with respect to the renewal of
the license. Interested parties must file requests for a hearing or a petition for leave to intervene in accordance with the CommissionsRules of Practice for
Domestic Licensing Proceedings and Issuance of Orders described in 10 CFR Part 2. Those interested should consult
a current copy of 10 CFR 2.309, which
is available at the Commissions Public
Document Room (PDR), located at One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852 and is
accessible through the Internet at
http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-
collections/cfr/part002/part002-0309.html. Persons who do not have access to the Internet or who encounter
problems in accessing the documents
should contact the NRCs PDR Reference
staff by telephone at 1-800-397-4209, or 301-415-4737, or via e-mail at PDR@nrc.gov. If a request for a hearing or a petition for leave to intervene is
filed within the 60-day period, the
Commission or a presiding officer designated by the Commission or by the Chief Administrative Judge of the
Atomic Safety and Licensing Board
Panel will rule on the request and/or petition, and the Secretary or the Chief Administrative Judge of the Atomic
Safety and Licensing Board will issue a
notice of a hearing or an appropriate
order. If no request for a hearing or
petition for leave to intervene is filed
within the 60-day period, the NRC may, upon completion of its evaluations and
upon making the findings required under 10 CFR Parts 51 and 54, renew the license without further notice.
As required by 10 CFR 2.309, a petition for leave to intervene shall set forth with particularity the interest of the petitioner in the proceeding, and
how that interest may be affected by the
results of the proceeding, taking into
consideration the limited scope of
matters that may be considered
pursuant to 10 CFR Parts 51 and 54. The
petition must specifically explain the
reasons why intervention should be permitted with particular reference to:
(1) The requester/petitioners right
under the Act to be made a party to the
proceeding; (2) the nature and extent of
the requester/petitioners property, financial, or other interest in the
proceeding; and (3) the possible effect of
any decision or order which may be entered in the proceeding on the requester/petitioners interest. The petition must also set forth the specific
contentions that the petitioner/requester
seeks to have litigated at the proceeding.
Each contention must consist of a specific statement of the issue of law or
fact to be raised or controverted. In
addition, the requester/petitioner shall
briefly explain the bases of each
contention and concisely state the
alleged facts or the expert opinion that
supports the contention on which the
requester/petitioner intends to rely in
proving the contention at the hearing.
The requester/petitioner must also provide references to those specific
sources and documents of which the
requester/petitioner is aware and on
which the requester/petitioner intends
to rely to establish those facts or expert
opinion. The requester/petitioner must
provide sufficient information to show
that a genuine dispute exists with the
applicant on a material issue of law or
fact. Contentions shall be limited to matters within the scope of the action under consideration. The contention
must be one that, if proven, would
entitle the requester/petitioner to relief.
A requester/petitioner who fails to
satisfy these requirements with respect
to at least one contention will not be
permitted to participate as a party.
The Commission requests that each contention be given a separate numeric
or alpha designation within one of the
following groups: (1) Technical (primarily related to safety concerns), (2) environmental, or (3) miscellaneous.
As specified in 10 CFR 2.309, if two or more requesters/petitioners seek to
co-sponsor a contention or propose
substantially the same contention, the
requesters/petitioners must jointly
designate a representative who shall
have the authority to act for the requesters/petitioners with respect to that contention.
Those permitted to intervene become parties to the proceeding, subject to any
limitations in the order granting leave to
intervene, and have the opportunity to
participate fully in the conduct of the
hearing. A request for a hearing or a
petition for leave to intervene must be
