.. Antitrust license conditions. An Order Approving Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Incorporated, As Exclusive Operator was included along with the issuance of the amendments.
The application for the amendments 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 amendments.
Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendments and Proposed No Significant Hazards Consideration Determination and Opportunity for Hearing in connection with this actio'n was published in the FEDERAL REGISTER on October 14, 1992 (57 FR 47135). A request for a hearing was filed on October 22, 1992, by Allen L. Mosbaugh and Marvin B. Hobby.
Under its regulations, the Commission may issue and make an amendment immediately effective, notwithstanding the pendency before it of a request for a hearing from any person, in advance of the holding and completion of any required hearing, where it has determined that no significant hazards consideration is involved.
The Commission has applied the standards of 10 CFR 50.92 and has made a final determination that the amendments involve no significant hazards consideration. The basis for this determination is contained in the Safety Evaluation related to this action. Accordingly, as described above, the amendments have been issued and made immediately effective and any hearing will be held after issuance.
The Commission has prepared an Environ 1 ental Assessment (57 FR 49724),
published on November 3,1992, related to the action and has concluded that an J
, 1 l
environmental impact statement is not warranted because there will be no environmental impact attributable'to the action beyond that which'has been predicted and described in the Commission's Final Environmental Statement for the facility dated March 1985.
For further details with respect to the action see (1) the application for amendments dated September 18, 1992, as supplemented by letters dated l
