NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50-335 and 50-389; NRC-2021-0167]

Florida Power & Light Company

NextEra Energy

St. Lucie Plant, Units Nos. 1 and 2

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Subsequent license renewal application; opportunity to reques t a hearing and

to petition for leave to intervene; order imposing procedures.

SUMMARY

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering a n

application for the subsequent license renewal of Renewed Facil ity Operating License

Nos. DPR-67 and NPF-16, which authorize Florida Power & Light C ompany (FPL or the

applicant) to operate St. Lucie Plant (St. Lucie), Unit Nos. 1 and 2. The subsequent

renewed operating licenses would authorize the applicant to ope rate St. Lucie for an

additional 20 years beyond the period specified in each of the current renewed licenses.

The current renewed operating licenses for St. Lucie expire as follows: Unit 1 on

March 1, 2036, and Unit 2 on April 6, 2043. Because this appli cation contains sensitive

unclassified non-safeguards information (SUNSI), an order impos es procedures to

obtain access to SUNSI for contention preparation.

DATES: A request for a hearing or petition for leave to intervene must be filed by [60

DAYS AFTER THE PUBLICATION DATE IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER]. Any

potential party as defined in section 2.4 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations

(10 CFR) who believes access to SUNSI is necessary to respond t o this notice must request document access by [INSERT DATE 10 DAYS AFTER PUBLICATION IN THE

FEDERAL REGISTER].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

By letter dated August 3, 2021 (ADAMS Package Accession No. ML2 1215A314),

as supplemented by letter dated September 13, 2021 (ADAMS Acces sion

No. ML21256A199), FPL filed an application pursuant to 10 CFR p art 54, Requirements

for Renewal of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants, fo r subsequent renewal

the operating licenses for St. Lucie at 3,020 megawatt thermal each. The St. Lucie units

are pressurized-water reactors designed by Combustion Engineeri ng and are located in

St. Lucie County, Florida. A notice of receipt of the subseque nt license renewal

application (SLRA) was published in the Federal Register on August 16, 2021 (86 FR

45768).

By letter dated September 24, 2021 (ADAMS Accession No. ML21246A091), the

NRC staff determined that FPL submitted sufficient information in accordance with

10 CFR 54.19, 54.21, 54.22, 54.23, 51.45, and 51.53(c), to enab le the staff to undertake

a review of the application, and that the application is, there fore, acceptable for

docketing. The current Docket Nos. 50-335 and 50-389 for Renew ed Facility Operating

License Nos. DPR-67 and NPF-16, respectively, will be retained. The determination to

3 accept the SLRA for docketing does not constitute a determinati on that a subsequent

renewed operating license should be issued and does not preclud e the NRC staff from

requesting additional information as the review proceeds.

Before issuance of the requested subsequent renewed licenses, 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 accordanc e 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 identified and have been or will be taken with respec t to: (1) managing the

effects of aging during the period of extended operation on the functionality of structures

and components that have been identified as requiring aging man agement review; and

(2) time-limited aging analyses that have been identified as re quiring review, such that

there is reasonable assurance that the activities authorized by the renewed licenses will

continue to be conducted in accordance with the current licensi ng basis and that any

changes made to the plants current licensing basis will comply with the Act and the

Commissions regulations.

Additionally, in accordance with 10 CFR 51.95(c), the NRC will prepare an

environmental impact statement as a supplement to the Commissio ns NUREG-1437,

Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Power

Plants, dated June 2013. In considering the SLRA, the Commiss ion must find that the

applicable requirements of subpart A of 10 CFR part 51 have bee n satisfied, and that

any matters raised under 10 CFR 2.335 have been addressed. Pur suant to

10 CFR 51.26, and as part of the environmental scoping process, the staff intends to

hold public scoping meetings. Det ailed information regarding the environmental scoping

meetings will be the subject of a separate Federal Register notice.

4 II. Opportunity to Request a Hearing and Petition for Leave to Intervene

Within 60 days after the date of publication of this notice, an y persons (petitioner)

whose interest may be affected by this action may file a reques t for a hearing and

petition for leave to intervene (petition) with respect to the action. Petitions shall be filed

in accordance with the Commissions Agency Rules of Practice a nd Procedure in

10 CFR part 2. Interested persons should consult a current cop y of 10 CFR 2.309. The

NRCs regulations are accessible electronically from the NRC Li brary on the NRCs

website at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/cfr/. If a petition is filed, the

Commission or a presiding officer will rule on the petition and, if appropriate, a notice of

hearing will be issued.

As required by 10 CFR 2.309(d), a petition should specifically explain the

reasons why intervention should be permitted with particular re ference to the following

general requirements for standing: (1) the name, address, and telephone number of the

petitioner; (2) the nature of the petitioners right under the Act to be made a party to the

proceeding; (3) the nature and extent of the petitioners prope rty, financial, or other

interest in the proceeding; and (4) the possible effect of any decision or order which may

be entered in the proceeding on the petitioners interest.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(f), the petition must also set forth the specific

contentions which the petitioner seeks to have litigated in 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 petitioner must provide a brief explanation of the bases for

the contention and a concise statement of the alleged facts or expert opinion which

support the contention and on which the petitioner intends to r ely in proving the

contention at the hearing. The petitioner must also provide re ferences to the specific

sources and documents on which the petitioner intends to rely t o support its position on

5 the issue. The petition must include sufficient information to show that a genuine dispute

exists with the applicant or licensee on a material issue of la w or fact. Contentions must

be limited to matters within the scope of the proceeding. The contention must be one

which, if proven, would entitle the petitioner to relief. A pe titioner who fails to satisfy the

requirements at 10 CFR 2.309(f) with respect to at least one co ntention will not be

permitted to participate as a party.

Those permitted to intervene become parties to the proceeding, subject to any

limitations in the order granting leave to intervene. Parties have the opportunity to

participate fully in the conduct of the hearing with respect to resolution of that partys

admitted contentions, including the opportunity to present evid ence, consistent with the

NRCs regulations, policies, and procedures.

Petitions must be filed no later than 60 days from the date of publication of this

notice. Petitions and motions for leave to file new or amended contentions that are filed

after the deadline will not be entertained absent a determinati on by the presiding officer

that the filing demonstrates good cause by satisfying the three factors in

10 CFR 2.309(c)(1)(i) through (iii). The petition must be file d in accordance with the

filing instructions in the Electronic Submissions (E-Filing) section of this document.

A State, local governmental body, Federally recognized Indian T ribe, or agency

thereof, may submit a petition to the Commission to participate as a party under

10 CFR 2.309(h)(1). The petition should state the nature and e xtent of the petitioners

interest in the proceeding. The petition should be submitted t o the Commission no later

than 60 days from the date of publication of this notice. The petition must be filed in

accordance with the filing instructions in the Electronic Subm ission (E-Filing) section of

this document, and should meet the requirements for petitions s et forth in this section,

except that under 10 CFR 2.309(h)(2) a State, local governmenta l body, or Federally

6 recognized Indian Tribe, or agency thereof does not need to add ress the standing

requirements in 10 CFR 2.309(d) if the facility is located with in its boundaries.

Alternatively, a State, local governmental body, Federally recognized Indian Tribe, or

agency thereof may participate as a non-party under 10 CFR 2.31 5(c).

If a hearing is granted, any person who is not a party to the p roceeding and is not

affiliated with or represented by a party may, in the discretio n of the presiding officer, be

permitted to make a limited appearance pursuant to the provisio ns of 10 CFR 2.315(a).

A person making a limited appearance may make an oral or writte n statement of his or

her position on the issues but may not otherwise participate in the proceeding. A limited

appearance may be made at any session of the hearing or at any prehearing

conference, subject to the limits and conditions as may be impo sed by the presiding

officer. Details regarding the opportunity to make a limited a ppearance will be provided

by the presiding officer if such sessions are scheduled.

III. Electronic Submissions (E-Filing)

All documents filed in NRC adjudicatory proceedings, including documents filed

by an interested State, local governmental body, Federally reco gnized Indian Tribe, or

designated agency thereof that requests to participate under 10 CFR 2.315(c), must be

filed in accordance with 10 CFR 2.302. The E-Filing process re quires participants to

submit and serve all adjudicatory documents over the internet, or in some cases, to mail

copies on electronic storage media, unless an exemption permitting an alternative filing

method, as discussed below, is granted. Detailed guidance on electronic submissions is

located in the Guidance for Electronic Submissions to the NRC ( ADAMS Accession No.

ML13031A056) and on the NRC website at https://www.nrc.gov/site -help/e-

submittals.html.

7 To comply with the procedural requirements of E-Filing, at leas t 10 days prior to

the filing deadline, the participant should contact the Office of the Secretary by email at

hearing.docket@nrc.gov, or by telephone at 301-415-1677, to (1) request a digital

identification (ID) certificate, which allows the participant ( or its counsel or

representative) to digitally sign submissions and access the E-Filing system for any

proceeding in which it is participating; and (2) advise the Sec retary that the participant

will be submitting a petition or other adjudicatory document (e ven in instances in which

the participant, or its counsel or representative, already hold s an NRC-issued digital ID

certificate). Based upon this information, the Secretary will establish an electronic

docket for the proceeding if the Secretary has not already esta blished an electronic

docket.

Information about applying for a digital ID certificate is avai lable on the NRCs

public website at https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/ge tting-started.html. After a

digital ID certificate is obtained and a docket created, the pa rticipant must submit

adjudicatory documents in Portable Document Format. Guidance o n submissions is

available on the NRCs public website at https://www.nrc.gov/si te-help/electronic-sub-ref-

mat.html. A filing is considered complete at the time the docu ment is submitted through

the NRCs E-Filing system. To be timely, an electronic filing must be submitted to the E-

Filing system no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Upon receipt of a

transmission, the E-Filing system time stamps the document and sends the submitter an

email confirming receipt of the document. The E-Filing system also distributes an email

that provides access to the document to the NRCs Office of the General Counsel and

any others who have advised the Office of the Secretary that th ey wish to participate in

the proceeding, so that the filer need not serve the document o n those participants

separately. Therefore, applicants and other participants (or t heir counsel or

8 representative) must apply for and receive a digital ID certificate before adjudicatory

documents are filed to obtain access to the documents via the E -Filing system.

A person filing electronically u sing the NRCs adjudicatory E-Filing system may

seek assistance by contacting the NRCs Electronic Filing Help Desk through the

Contact Us link located on the NRCs public website at https: //www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-

submittals.html, by email to MSHD.Resource@nrc.gov, or by a toll-free call at 1-866-

672-7640. The NRC Electronic Filing Help Desk is available bet ween 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.,

Eastern Time, Monday through Friday, excluding government holid ays.

Participants who believe that they have good cause for not subm itting documents

electronically must file an exemption request, in accordance wi th 10 CFR 2.302(g), with

their initial paper filing stating why there is good cause for not filing electronically and

requesting authorization to continue to submit documents in pap er format. Such filings

must be submitted in accordance with 10 CFR 2.302(b)-(d). Part icipants filing

adjudicatory documents in this manner are responsible for servi ng their documents on all

other participants. Participants granted an exemption under 10 CFR 2.302(g)(2) must

still meet the electronic formatting requirement in 10 CFR 2.30 2(g)(1), unless the

participant also seeks and is granted an exemption from 10 CFR 2.302(g)(1).

Documents submitted in adjudicatory proceedings will appear in the NRCs

electronic hearing docket, which is publicly available at https ://adams.nrc.gov/ehd,

unless excluded pursuant to an order of the presiding officer. If you do not have an

NRC-issued digital ID certificate as described above, click cancel when the link

requests certificates and you will be automatically directed to the NRCs electronic

hearing dockets where you will be able to access any publicly a vailable documents in a

particular hearing docket. Participants are requested not to i nclude personal privacy

information such as social security numbers, home addresses, or personal phone

9 numbers in their filings unless an NRC regulation or other law requires submission of

such information. With respect to copyrighted works, except fo r limited excerpts that

serve the purpose of the adjudicatory filings and would constit ute a Fair Use application,

participants should not include copyrighted materials in their submission.

Information about the subsequent license renewal process can be found under

the Nuclear Reactors icon at

https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/licensing/renewal.html o n the NRCs website.

Copies of the application to renew the operating licenses for S t. Lucie are available for

public inspection at the NRCs PDR, and on the NRCs website at

https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/licensing/renewal/subseq uent-license-

renewal.html, while the application is under review. The appli cation may be accessed in

ADAMS through the NRC Library on the Internet at https://www.nr c.gov/reading-

rm/adams.html under ADAMS Accession No. ML21215A314. As stated above, persons

who do not have access to ADAMS or who encounter problems in ac cessing the

documents located in ADAMS may contact the NRCs PDR reference staff by telephone

at 1-800-397-4209 or 301-415-4737, or by email to pdr.resources @nrc.gov.

IV. Order Imposing Procedures for Access to Sensitive Unclassif ied Non-Safeguards

Information for Contention Preparation

A. This Order contains instructions regarding how potential par ties to this

proceeding may request access to documents containing Sensitive Unclassified Non-

Safeguards Information (SUNSI).

B. Within 10 days after publication of this notice of hearing a nd opportunity

to petition for leave to intervene, any potential party who bel ieves access to SUNSI is

necessary to respond to this notice may request access to SUNSI. A potential party is

any person who intends to participate as a party by demonstrati ng standing and filing an

10 admissible contention under 10 CFR 2.309. Requests for access to SUNSI submitted

later than 10 days after publication of this notice will not be considered absent a showing

of good cause for the late filing, addressing why the request c ould not have been filed

earlier.

C. The requestor shall submit a letter requesting permission to access

SUNSI to the Office of the Secretary, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory C ommission,

Washington, DC 20555-0001, Attention: Rulemakings and Adjudica tions Staff, and

provide a copy to the Deputy General Counsel for Hearings and A dministration, Office of

the General Counsel, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washin gton, DC 20555-

0001. The expedited delivery or courier mail address for both offices is: U.S. Nuclear

Regulatory Commission, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Marylan d 20852. The email

address for the Office of the Secretary and the Office of the G eneral Counsel are

Hearing.Docket@nrc.gov and RidsOgcMailCenter.Resource@nrc.gov, respectively.1

The request must include the following information:

(1) A description of the licensing action with a citation to th is Federal Register

notice;

(2) The name and address of the potential party and a descripti on of the

potential partys particularized interest that could be harmed by the action identified in

C.(1); and

(3) The identity of the individual or entity requesting access to SUNSI and the

requestors basis for the need for the information in order to meaningfully participate in

this adjudicatory proceeding. In particular, the request must explain why publicly

1 While a request for hearing or petition to intervene in this proceeding must comply with the filing requirements of the NRCs E-Filing Rule, the initial request to access SUNSI under these procedures should be submitted as described in this paragraph.

11 available versions of the information requested would not be su fficient to provide the

basis and specificity for a proffered contention.

D. Based on an evaluation of the information submitted under pa ragraph

C.(3) the NRC staff will determine within 10 days of receipt of the request whether:

(1) There is a reasonable basis to believe the petitioner is li kely to establish

standing to participate in this NRC proceeding; and

(2) The requestor has established a legitimate need for access to SUNSI.

E. If the NRC staff determines that the requestor satisfies bot h D.(1) and

D.(2) above, the NRC staff will notify the requestor in writing that access to SUNSI has

been granted. The written notification will contain instructio ns on how the requestor may

obtain copies of the requested documents, and any other conditi ons that may apply to

access to those documents. These conditions may include, but a re not limited to, the

signing of a Non-Disclosure Agreement or Affidavit, or Protecti ve Order2 setting forth

terms and conditions to prevent the unauthorized or inadvertent disclosure of SUNSI by

each individual who will be granted access to SUNSI.

F. Filing of Contentions. Any contentions in these proceedings that are

based upon the information received as a result of the request made for SUNSI must be

filed by the requestor no later than 25 days after receipt of ( or access to) that

information. However, if more than 25 days remain between the petitioners receipt of

(or access to) the information and the deadline for filing all other contentions (as

established in the notice of hearing or opportunity for hearing ), the petitioner may file its

SUNSI contentions by that later deadline.

2 Any motion for Protective Order or draft Non-Disclosure Affidavit or Agreement for SUNSI must be filed with the presiding officer or the Chief Administrative Judge if the presiding officer has not yet been designated, within 30 days of the deadline for the receipt of the written access request.

12 G. Review of Denials of Access.

(1) If the request for access to SUNSI is denied by the NRC sta ff after a

determination on standing and requisite need, the NRC staff sha ll immediately notify the

requestor in writing, briefly stating the reason or reasons for the denial.

(2) The requestor may challenge the NRC staffs adverse determi nation by

filing a challenge within 5 days of receipt of that determinati on with: (a) the presiding

officer designated in this proceeding; (b) if no presiding offi cer has been appointed, the

Chief Administrative Judge, or if he or she is unavailable, ano ther administrative judge,

or an Administrative Law Judge with jurisdiction pursuant to 10 CFR 2.318(a); or (c) if

another officer has been designated to rule on information acce ss issues, with that

officer.

(3) Further appeals of decisions under this paragraph must be m ade

pursuant to 10 CFR 2.311.

H. Review of Grants of Access. A party other than the requesto r may

challenge an NRC staff determination granting access to SUNSI w hose release would

harm that partys interest independent of the proceeding. Such a challenge must be filed

within 5 days of the notification by the NRC staff of its grant of access and must be filed

with: (a) the presiding officer designated in this proceeding; (b) if no presiding officer

has been appointed, the Chief Administrative Judge, or if he or she is unavailable,

another administrative judge, or an Administrative Law Judge wi th jurisdiction pursuant

to 10 CFR 2.318(a); or (c) if another officer has been designat ed to rule on information

access issues, with that officer.

If challenges to the NRC staff determinations are filed, these procedures give

way to the normal process for litigating disputes concerning ac cess to information. The

13 availability of interlocutory review by the Commission of order s ruling on such NRC staff

determinations (whether granting or denying access) is governed by 10 CFR 2.311.3

I. The Commission expects that the NRC staff and presiding offi cers (and

any other reviewing officers) will consider and resolve request s for access to SUNSI,

and motions for protective orders, in a timely fashion in order to minimize any

unnecessary delays in identifying those petitioners who have st anding and who have

propounded contentions meeting the specificity and basis requir ements in 10 CFR part

2. The attachment to this Order summarizes the general target schedule for processing

and resolving requests under these procedures.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 24, 2021.
