3 II. Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendments to Facility Operating
Licenses and Combined Licenses and Proposed No Significant Hazards
Consideration Determination
For the facility-specific amendment requests shown in this notice, the
Commission finds that the licensees analyses provided, consistent with section 50.91 of
title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Notice for public comment; State
consultation, are sufficient to support the proposed determinations that these
amendment requests involve NSHC. Under the Commissions regulations in
10 CFR 50.92, operation of the facilities in accordance with the proposed amendments
would not (1) involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an
accident previously evaluated; or (2) create the possibility of a new or different kind of
accident from any accident previously evaluated; or (3) involve a significant reduction in
a margin of safety.
The Commission is seeking public comments on these proposed determinations.
Any comments received within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice will be
considered in making any final determinations.
Normally, the Commission will not iss ue the amendments until the expiration of
60 days after the date of publication of this notice. The Commission may issue any of
these license amendments before expiration of the 60-day period provided that its final
determination is that the amendment involves NSHC. In addition, the Commission may
issue any of these amendments prior to the expiration of the 30-day comment period if
circumstances change during the 30-day comment period such that failure to act in a
timely way would result, for example in derating or shutdown of the facility. If the
Commission takes action on any of these am endments prior to the expiration of either
the comment period or the notice period, it will publish in the Federal Register a notice of
4 issuance. If the Commission makes a final NSHC determination for any of these
amendments, any hearing will take place afte r issuance. The Commission expects that
the need to take action on any amendment before 60 days have elapsed will occur very
infrequently.
A. Opportunity to Request a Hearing and Petition for Leave to Intervene
Within 60 days after the date of publication of this notice, any person (petitioner)
whose interest may be affected by any of these actions may file a request for a hearing
and petition for leave to intervene (petition) with respect to that action. Petitions shall be
filed in accordance with the Commissions Agency Rules of Practice and Procedure in
10 CFR part 2. Interested persons should consult a current copy of 10 CFR 2.309. If a
petition is filed, the Commission or a presiding officer will rule on the petition and, if
appropriate, a notice of a hearing will be issued.
Petitions must be filed no later than 60 days from the date of publication of this
notice in accordance with the filing instructions in the Electronic Submissions (E-Filing)
section of this document. Petitions and motions for leave to file new or amended
contentions that are filed after the deadline will not be entertained absent a
determination by the presiding officer t hat the filing demonstrates good cause by
satisfying the three factors in 10 CFR 2.309(c)(1)(i) through (iii).
If a hearing is requested, and the Commission has not made a final
determination on the issue of no significant hazards consideration, the Commission will
make a final determination on the issue of no significant hazards consideration, which
will serve to establish when the hearing is held. If the final determination is that the
amendment request involves no significant haz ards consideration, the Commission may
issue the amendment and make it immediately effective, notwithstanding the request for
a hearing. Any hearing would take place after issuance of the amendment. If the final
5 determination is that the amendment request involves a significant hazards
consideration, then any hearing held would take place before the issuance of the
amendment unless the Commission finds an imminent danger to the health or safety of
the public, in which case it will issue an appropriate order or rule under 10 CFR part 2.
A State, local governmental body, Federally recognized Indian Tribe, or
designated agency thereof, may submit a petition to the Commission to participate as a
party under 10 CFR 2.309(h) no later than 60 days from the date of publication of this
notice. Alternatively, a State, local go vernmental body, Federally recognized Indian
Tribe, or agency thereof may participate as a non-party under 10 CFR 2.315(c).
For information about filing a petition and about participation by a person not a
party under 10 CFR 2.315, see ADAMS Accession No. ML20340A053
(https://adamswebsearch2.nrc.gov/webSear ch2/main.jsp?AccessionNumber=ML20340A
053) and on the NRCs public website at
https://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/regulatory/adjudicatory/hearing.html#participate.
B. Electronic Submissions (E-Filing)
All documents filed in NRC adjudicatory proceedings, including documents filed
by an interested State, local governmental body, Federally recognized 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 requires 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 further discussed, is granted. Detailed guidance on electronic submissions is
located in the Guidance for Electronic S ubmissions to the NRC (ADAMS Accession
No. ML13031A056) and on the NRCs public websit e at https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-
submittals.html.
6 To comply with the procedural requirements of E-Filing, at least 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 Secretary that the participant
will be submitting a petition or other adjudicatory document (even in instances in which
the participant, or its counsel or represent ative, already holds 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 established an electronic docket.
Information about applying for a digital ID certificate is available on the NRCs
public website at https://www.nrc.gov/site-hel p/e-submittals/getting-started.html. After a
digital ID certificate is obtained and a docket created, the participant must submit
adjudicatory documents in Portable Document Format. Guidance on submissions is
available on the NRCs public website at http s://www.nrc.gov/site-help/electronic-sub-ref-
mat.html. A filing is considered complete at the time the document 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. ET on the due date. Upon receipt of a
transmission, the E-Filing system time-sta mps 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 they wish to participate in
the proceeding, so that the filer need not serve the document on those participants
separately. Therefore, applicants and other participants (or their counsel or
7 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 using 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 between 9 a.m. and
6 p.m., ET, Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.
Participants who believe that they hav e good cause for not submitting documents
electronically must file an exemption request, in accordance with 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 paper format. Such filings
must be submitted in accordance with 10 CFR 2.302(b)-(d). Participants filing
adjudicatory documents in this manner are re sponsible for serving 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 2.302(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 previ ously described, click cancel when the link
requests certificates and you will be autom atically directed to the NRCs electronic
hearing docket where you will be able to acce ss any publicly available documents in a
particular hearing docket. Participants are requested not to include personal privacy
information such as social security numbers, home addresses, or personal phone
8 numbers in their filings unless an NRC regulation or other law requires submission of
such information. With respect to copyrighted works, except for limited excerpts that
serve the purpose of the adjudicatory filings and would constitute a Fair Use application,
participants should not include copyrighted materials in their submission.
The following table provides the plant name, docket number, date of application,
ADAMS accession number, and location in the application of the licensees proposed
NSHC determinations. For further details with respect to these license amendment
applications, see the applications for amendment, which are available for public
inspection in ADAMS. For additional direction on accessing information related to this
