fb The Petitioner is a Federally recognized Indian Tribe that is sovereign under Federal Law. Skull Valley Band Pet. at 1; see Bureau ofIndian Affairs, " Indian Entities Recognized and litigible to Receive Services from the U.S. Bureau ofIndian Affairs",61 Fed. Reg 58,211, 58,212, 58,214 (1996). The Petitioner's reservation was established by Executive Orders in 1917 and 1918 (IV Kappler 1048, Sept. 7,1917 and Feb. 15,1918).

As a soverelgn, Federally recognized tribal government, the Petitioner operates on a government to government relationship with the United States Government and its executive departments and agencies pursuant to the Constitution of the United States, treaties, statutes, and couit decisions. Ses Executive hiemorandum of April 29,1994,59 Fed. Reg. 22,951 (1994) (hiemorandum from President Clinton to liends of Executive Departments and Agencies on " Government to Government Relations with Native American Tribal Governments") (" Executive hiemorandum") (copies of both the Federal Register notice and the original memorandum are included in Attachment A).

The Petitioner entered into an agreement with PFS to lease cenain lands within its reservation on which the Facility is to be sited. Skull Valley Band Pet. at 2, The lease between the Petitioner and PFS was approved by the Bureau ofindian Affairs on hiay 23, 1997.' The Pet ltioner "is an interested government with sovereignty over the lands on which the project is to be sited." Skull Valley Band Pet. at 3. The Petitioner's reservation has approximately 30 tribal members, most of whom reside in the reservation's tribal Buteau of Indian Affairs' approval is conditioned on completion of the NRC's National Etnisonmental Policy Act review and issuance of a license to operate the Facility.

In addition to its obvious property and proximity interest, the Petitioner also stands to receive considerable benefits from the construction and operation of the Facility. The direct benefits are "a steady revenue stream for the Tribal Government and Band members, a diverse set of meaningfuljobs for tribal members and training / development opponunities for other Band members." PFS Facility Environmental Repon at 7.2 2

("PFSF ER").- The indirect benefits include " increased traffic and business at their convenience store during construction and operation, and an increased profile for the Band in the Utah business economy, po:entially bringing new economic development initiatives to the Band." PFSF ER at 7.2 3. Other indirect benefits include upgrades to transportation infrastmeture on the reservation hl 111.

THE PETITIONER HAS DEMONSTRATED STANDING

. UNDER NRC CASE LAW AND 10 C.F.R. 6 2.714(a)

. Under the Atomic Energy Act and NRC regulations, a petitioner to intervene must

- demonstrate a sufficient interest that might be affected by the outcome of the proceeding

. (i.e., demonstrate standing). San 42 U.S.C. Q 2239(a); 10 C.F.R. Q 2.714(a). The standing test seeks to ensure that permission to intervene is granted to participants who -

have a "real stake" in the outcome of the proceeding. Houston Lighting and Power Co.

(South Texas Project, Units I and 2), L8P-79 10,9 N.R.C. 439,447-48 (1979) ("'real stake'... must mean ' genuine,' actual' or ' direct stake'"), siting Sierra Club v. Morton. 405 4

i -

Sheffteld established that intervention did not depend on whether the petitioner supported or opposed the license application, but U

[r]ather, the test is whether a cognizable interest of the petitioner might be adversely affected if the proceeding has one outcome rather than another And, to repeat, no such :

interest is to be presumed. There must be a concrete

As a petitioner supporting the license application, the Band's standing stems from -

the possibility for the Board to denp the license application or impose license conditions.

(1992). The Petitioner would be substantially injured by an adverse decision in this I

proceeding which would deny it the considerable benefits and other interests that would flow to the Band from construction and operation of the proposed Facility. San PFSF ER i

at 7.2 2,7.2 3. ' As the host jurisdiction and property owner for the site of the prog Facility, the Petitioner has a unique Ir terest that will be directly affected by the outcome of '

the proceeding. As discussed above, the Petitioner owns the property the Facility will be ~

built on, has tribal members residing near the Facility, has its tribal village about 3.5 miles t'

east southeast of the Facility, and stands to receive considerable direct and indirect 3

benefits from the construction and operation of the Facility.

ALTERNATIVELY, PETITIONER SHOULD BE GRANTED PARTICIPATION AS AN INTERESTED GOVERNMENTAL i

ENTITY Pl3RSUANT TO 10 C.F.R. 6 2.715 :

i Alternatively, as a sovereign, Federally recognized Indian Tribe that is the host -

jurisdiction of the proposed Facility, the Petitioner should be pemdtted to participate in any hearing on this proceeding as an interested governmental entity pursuant to' 10 C.F.R.

]

12.715(c). The Board may grant an " interested" governmental entity such as a " State, 1

county, municipality, and/or agencies thereof," the opportunity to participate in a hearing.

10 C,F.R. l 2.715(c). When i 2.715(c) was amended to broaden its coverage from "an 3

interested State" to include " county, municipality and/or agencies thereof," the

+

. Commission stated that its intent was to_ extend the cooperation provided in that regulation "to other units of government which also have an interest in the licensing

{-

proceeding." 43 Fed. Reg. 17,798, 17,800 (1978).

7 The Petitioner meets both the " governmental entity" and " interest" requirements to i

participate in a hearing pursuant to 10 C.F.R. i 2.715(c).' The Petitioner is a sovereign governmental entity recognized by the Federal govemment. Skull Valley Band Pet. at 1 -

r (stating that the Petitioner is "a federally recognized Indian Tribe and sovereign under 7

O Federal Law"). The Petitioner " fully supports this project and is interested in the success of the license application." Skull Valley Band Pet. at 3. As the host jurisdiction for the proposed Facility, the Petitioner has a demonstrated and unique interest in this proceeding i

(e g., the Petitioner owns the property the Facility will be built on, the Facility will be near Tribal members' residences, and the Petitioner will receive employment, revenue, and other direct or indirect benefits from PFS). The Petitioner "is an interested government with sovereienty over the lands on which the project will be sited," 11(emphasis added),

and should be granted the opportunity to participate in any hearing as an interested governmental entity pursuant to 10 C.F.R. Q 2.715(c).

In addition, the United States Government has directed executive departments and agencies to take aflirmative steps to assure that tribal governments are consulted on activities that afTect the trust property and/or governmental rights of the tribe. Sss 59 Fed. Reg. at 22,951 (Executive Memorandum, Subpart (c)). The government to-government relationship between the United States Government and Federally recognized Indian Tribes, recognized in the Executive Memorandum, means that the Skull Valley Band of Goshute Indians should be provided the same rights to participate in this proceeding as 10 C.F.R. Q 2.715(c) affords to "an interested State, county, municipality and/or agencies thereof." Because this proceeding is specifically about licensing a facility within the legal property boundaries of the Petitioner's reservation, this proceeding directly affects its " trust property and/or governmental rights." Sss 59 Fed. Reg. at 22,951 (Executive Memorandum, Subpart (d)). As the juiisdiction on whose lands the proposed 8

o Facility is to be built and operated, the Petitioner must be given the same right to panicipate in any hearing on this p.oceeding as a State, county, municipality or agency thereof.

V.

CONCLUSION For the reasons stated above, PFS supports the Skull Valley Band of Goshute Indian's participation in any hearings in this proceeding. The Petitioner has a unique role in this proceeding and has complied with the requirements to intervene pursuant to 10 C.F.R. Q 2.714. Alternatively, the Petitioner qualifies to panicipate in any hearings on this proceeding as an interested governmental entity pursuant to 10 C.F.R. 5 2.715(c).

Accordingly, the Petitioner's participation in any hearings on this proceeding should be granted.
