ACTION: Application for license amendment; public meeting.

SUMMARY

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is providing notice that the NRC staff will conduct a meeting to discuss and accept public comments on the Humboldt Bay Power Plant (HBPP), Unit 3 License Termination Plan (LTP) on Tuesday, August 20, 2013, at 6:00

p.m. in the Great Room at the Warfinger Building, Eureka Public Marina, #1 Marina Way, Eureka, California.

The HBPP is located about four miles southwest of the city of Eureka, Humboldt County, California and consists of 143 acres of land. Unit 3, which is the NRC licensed reactor, is

currently being decommissioned with the spent fuel now stored in the onsite Independent Spent

Fuel Storage Installation. Unit 3 decommissioning commenced in May 2009. Following the

start of a new power generation facility in 2010, the licensee commenced with the permanent

shutdown of the fossil Units 1 and 2. Units 1 and 2 are being decommissioned in conjunction

with Unit 3 decommissioning.

In accordance with the NRC regulations at § 50.82(a)(9) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), all power reactor licensees must submit an application for termination of their license. The application for termination of license must be accompanied or

preceded by an LTP to be submitted for NRC approval. Pacific Gas and Electric submitted the

proposed LTP for HBPP with a license amendment application dated May 3, 2013. The LTP

would be approved by license amendment if found acceptable by the NRC staff. The

amendment would be subject to such conditions and limitations as the NRC staff deems

appropriate and necessary. In accordance with 10 CFR 20.1405 and 10 CFR 50.82(a)(9)(iii),

the NRC is providing notice to individuals in the vicinity of the site that the NRC: 1) is in receipt

of the HBPP LTP; 2) will hold a public meeting: and 3) will accept comments from affected
