ML14199A107. In its letters dated July 10, and July 17, 2014, the licensee stated that the UHS temperature has approached the current TS limit of 100 °F. The licensee stated that the UHS temperature has been trending higher than historical averages in part because of reduced water levels caused by unseasonably dry weather and because of reduced cooling efficiency caused by an algae bloom of concentrations higher than previously observed. The licensee requested a timely review of its application to avoid a dual unit shutdown that could affect grid reliability. Therefore, the licensee requested that the NRC process the license amendment requests under emergency circumstances in accordance with §50.91(a)(5) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR). The Staff considered the circumstances (i.e. | |||
the dry weather, UHS temperature, algae concentration, and grid reliability) and found exigent circumstances exist, in that a licensee and the Commission must act quickly and that time does not permit the Commission to publish a Federal Register notice allowing 30 days for prior public comment. The Staff also determined that the amendment involves no significant hazards considerations. Accordingly, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.91(a)(6)(i)(A), the Commission published a notice of an opportunity for hearing and notice for prior public comment on its proposed determination that no significant hazards consideration is involved; the notice was published in the Federal Register on July 30, 2014 (79 FR 44214). The licensees supplements dated July 22, July 24, July 26, and July 28, 2014, provided additional information that clarified the application, did not expand the scope of the application as originally noticed, and did not change the NRC staffs original proposed no significant hazards consideration determination as published in the Federal Register on July 30, 2014. However, on July 29, 2014, the licensee supplemented its amendment request with a proposed change that did increase the scope of the request and affected the proposed no significant hazards consideration published in the Federal Register on July 30, 2014. Therefore, after considering the continued exigent circumstances related to the dry weather, UHS temperature, algae concentration, and grid reliability, and pursuant to 10 CFR 50.91(a)(6)(i)(B), the Staff used local media to provide reasonable notice to the public in the area surrounding the licensees facility of the amendment request and the proposed determination that no significant hazards consideration is involved, and provided a shortened comment period. The licensees supplement dated August 4, 2014, provided additional information that clarified the application, did not expand the scope of the application as noticed in the newspapers, and did not change the NRC staffs revised proposed no significant hazards consideration determination as published in the newspapers local to the Turkey Point site. No comments have been received. Because of the unpredictable nature of the dry weather, the UHS temperature, algae concentration, and grid reliability, the NRC determined that the exigent circumstances remain. Therefore, the NRC is issuing the amendments prior to the expiration of the superseded 14-day comment period published in the initial Federal Register notice (FRN) (79 FR 44214, July 30, 2014). No request for a hearing or petition for leave to intervene was filed based on the superseded FRN. | on the draft EA, FONSI, and Technical | ||
To prevent any confusion about the time to request a hearing, which may have been caused by the original (superseded) FRN, the NRC is now resetting the period to request a hearing or petition for leave to intervene. II. Opportunity To Request a Hearing and Petition for Leave To Intervene Within 60 days after the date of publication of this Federal Register notice, any person whose interest may be affected by this proceeding and who desires to participate as a party in the proceeding must file a written request for hearing or a petition for leave to intervene specifying the contentions which the person seeks to have litigated in the hearing with respect to the license amendment request. Requests for hearing and petitions for leave to intervene shall be filed in accordance with the NRCs Agency Rules of Practice and Procedure in 10 CFR part | |||

The NRCs regulations are accessible electronically from the NRC Library on the NRCs Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/cfr/. As required by 10 CFR 2.309, a request for hearing or petition for leave to intervene must set forth with particularity the interest of the petitioner in the proceeding and how that interest may be affected by the results of the proceeding. A request for hearing or petition for leave to intervene must state: (1) The name, address, and telephone number of the requestor or petitioner; (2) the nature of the requestors/petitioners right under the Act to be made a party to the proceeding; (3) the nature and extent of the requestors/petitioners property, 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 requestors/petitioners interest. For each contention, the requestor/petitioner must provide a specific statement of the issue of law or fact to be raised or controverted, as well as a brief explanation of the basis for the contention. Additionally, the requestor/ petitioner must demonstrate that the issue raised by each contention is within the scope of the proceeding and is material to the findings that the NRC must make to support the granting of a license amendment in response to the application. The hearing request or petition must also include a concise statement of the alleged facts or expert opinion that support the contention and on which the requestor/petitioner intends to rely at the hearing, together with references to those specific sources and documents. The hearing request or petition must provide sufficient information to show that a genuine dispute exists with the applicant on a material issue of law or fact, including references to specific portions of the application for amendment that the petitioner disputes and the supporting reasons for each dispute. If the requestor/petitioner believes that the application for amendment fails to contain information on a relevant matter as required by law, the requestor/ | Evaluation Report used to support the | ||
petitioner must identify each failure and the supporting reasons for the requestors/petitioners belief. Each contention must be one which, if proven, would entitle the requestor/ | |||
licensing action. The State provided the | |||
NRC with comments by letter dated January 30, 2014. The State had questions and comments on the | |||
radioactive contaminants as they relate | |||
to the release of Site RW-06 for | |||
unrestricted use based on dose. The | |||
Department of the Air Force responded | |||
to the States comments by | |||
Memorandum dated April 8, 2014. The | |||
State had no further comments on this | |||
EA and FONSI. | |||

notice was published in the Federal Register on July 30, 2014 (79 FR 44214). | |||
The licensees supplements dated July 22, July 24, July 26, and July 28, 2014, | |||

Secretary that the participant will be | |||
submitting a request or petition for | |||
hearing (even in instances in which the | |||
participant, or its counsel or | |||
representative, already holds an NRC- | |||
issued digital ID certificate). Based upon | |||

The E-Filing system also distributes an email notice 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 documents on those participants separately. Therefore, applicants and other participants (or their counsel or representative) must apply for and receive a digital ID certificate before a hearing request/petition to intervene is filed so that they can obtain access to the document via the E-Filing system. A person filing electronically using the NRCs adjudicatory E-Filing system may seek assistance by contacting the NRC Meta System Help Desk through the Contact Us link located on the NRCs public Web site at http://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.

III. Electronic Submissions (E-Filing) | |||
All documents filed in NRC adjudicatory proceedings, including a | |||

governmental entities participating | |||
under 10 CFR 2.315(c), must be filed in | |||
accordance with the NRCs E-Filing rule | |||
(72 FR 49139; August 28, 2007). The E- | |||

cases to mail copies on electronic | |||
storage media. Participants may not | |||
submit paper copies of their filings | |||
unless they seek an exemption in | |||
accordance with the procedures | |||
described below. | |||
To comply with the procedural requirements of E-Filing, at least ten 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 request (1) a digital | |||
identification (ID) certificate, which | |||
allows the participant (or its counsel or | |||
representative) to digitally sign | |||
documents and access the E-Submittal | |||
server for any proceeding in which it is | |||
participating; and (2) advise the | |||
Secretary that the participant will be | |||
submitting a request or petition for | |||
hearing (even in instances in which the | |||
participant, or its counsel or | |||
representative, already holds an NRC- | |||
issued digital ID certificate). Based upon | |||
this information, the Secretary will | |||
establish an electronic docket for the | |||
hearing in this 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 Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/ | |||

NRCs E-Filing system does not support | |||
unlisted software, and the NRC Meta | |||
System Help Desk will not be able to | |||
offer assistance in using unlisted | |||
software. | |||
If a participant is electronically submitting a document to the NRC in | |||
accordance with the E-Filing rule, the | |||
participant must file the document | |||
using the NRCs online, Web-based | |||
submission form. In order to serve | |||
documents through the Electronic | |||
Information Exchange System, users | |||
will be required to install a Web | |||
browser plug-in from the NRCs Web | |||
site. Further information on the Web- | |||
based submission form, including the | |||
installation of the Web browser plug-in, | |||
is available on the NRCs public Web | |||
site at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html. | |||
Once a participant has obtained a digital ID certificate and a docket has | |||
been created, the participant can then | |||
submit a request for hearing or petition | |||
for leave to intervene. Submissions | |||
should be in Portable Document Format | |||
(PDF) in accordance with NRC guidance | |||
available on the NRCs public Web site | |||
at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html. | |||

system. To be timely, an electronic | |||
filing must be submitted to the E-Filing | |||
system no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern | |||

notice 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 documents on those | |||
participants separately. Therefore, | |||
applicants and other participants (or | |||
their counsel or representative) must | |||
apply for and receive a digital ID certificate before a hearing request/ | |||
petition to intervene is filed so that they | |||
can obtain access to the document via | |||
the E-Filing system. | |||
A person filing electronically using the NRCs adjudicatory E-Filing system | |||
may seek assistance by contacting the | |||

[Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251; NRC-2014-0176]
Florida Power & Light Company; Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Units
3 and 4 AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: License amendment; issuance, opportunity to request a hearing, and
petition for leave to intervene.
SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approved a request
by Florida Power & Light Company (the
licensee) for amendments to Renewed
Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-31
and DPR-41, issued to the licensee for
operation of Turkey Point Nuclear
Generating Units 3 and 4 (Turkey Point),
located in Miami-Dade County, Florida.
The amendments revise the ultimate
heat sink (UHS) water temperature limit
in the Turkey Point Technical Specifications (TSs) from 100 to 104
degrees Fahrenheit (
°F) and revise surveillance requirements for
monitoring the UHS temperature and
component cooling water (CCW) heat
exchangers. The amendments also made
editorial changes to the TSs. The Staff
finds that the application for the license
amendments complies with the
requirements of the Atomic Energy Act
of 1954, as amended, and the NRCs
regulations.

- I. Introduction The NRC issued amendments to Renewed Facility Operating License
Nos. DPR-31 and DPR-41, issued to
Florida Power & Light Company, for
operation of the Turkey Point Nuclear
Generating Units 3 and 4, located in
Miami-Dade County, Florida. The VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:42 Aug 13, 2014Jkt 232001PO 00000Frm 00078Fmt 4703Sfmt 4703E:\FR\FM\14AUN1.SGM14AUN1 tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 47690 Federal Register/Vol. 79, No. 157/Thursday, August 14, 2014/Notices amendments revise the UHS water temperature limit in the Turkey Point
TSs from 100 to 104
°F and revise surveillance requirements for
monitoring the UHS temperature and
CCW heat exchangers. The amendments
also made editorial changes to the TSs.
The Staff finds that the application for
the license amendments complies with
the requirements of the Atomic Energy
Act of 1954, as amended, and the NRCs
regulations. Copies of the Staffs
evaluation may be obtained and
examined at ADAMS Accession No.
In its letters dated July 10, and July 17, 2014, the licensee stated that the
UHS temperature has approached the
current TS limit of 100
°F. The licensee stated that the UHS temperature has
been trending higher than historical
averages in part because of reduced
water levels caused by unseasonably dry
weather and because of reduced cooling
efficiency caused by an algae bloom of
concentrations higher than previously
observed. The licensee requested a
timely review of its application to avoid
a dual unit shutdown that could affect
grid reliability. Therefore, the licensee
requested that the NRC process the
license amendment requests under
emergency circumstances in accordance with §50.91(a)(5) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR). The Staff considered the circumstances (i.e.
the dry weather, UHS temperature, algae
concentration, and grid reliability) and
found exigent circumstances exist, in
that a licensee and the Commission
must act quickly and that time does not
permit the Commission to publish a
Federal Register notice allowing 30 days for prior public comment. The
Staff also determined that the
amendment involves no significant
hazards considerations. Accordingly,
pursuant to 10 CFR 50.91(a)(6)(i)(A), the
Commission published a notice of an
opportunity for hearing and notice for
prior public comment on its proposed
determination that no significant
hazards consideration is involved; the
notice was published in the Federal Register on July 30, 2014 (79 FR 44214).
The licensees supplements dated July 22, July 24, July 26, and July 28, 2014,
provided additional information that
clarified the application, did not expand
the scope of the application as originally
noticed, and did not change the NRC
staffs original proposed no significant
hazards consideration determination as
published in the Federal Register on July 30, 2014. However, on July 29,
2014, the licensee supplemented its
amendment request with a proposed change that did increase the scope of the
request and affected the proposed no significant hazards consideration published in the Federal Register on July 30, 2014. Therefore, after
considering the continued exigent
circumstances related to the dry
weather, UHS temperature, algae
concentration, and grid reliability, and
pursuant to 10 CFR 50.91(a)(6)(i)(B), the
Staff used local media to provide
reasonable notice to the public in the area surrounding the licensees facility of the amendment request and the
proposed determination that no
significant hazards consideration is
involved, and provided a shortened
comment period. The licensees
supplement dated August 4, 2014,
provided additional information that
clarified the application, did not expand
the scope of the application as noticed
in the newspapers, and did not change
the NRC staffs revised proposed no
significant hazards consideration
determination as published in the
newspapers local to the Turkey Point
site. No comments have been received.
Because of the unpredictable nature of the dry weather, the UHS temperature,
algae concentration, and grid reliability,
the NRC determined that the exigent
circumstances remain. Therefore, the
NRC is issuing the amendments prior to
the expiration of the superseded 14-day
comment period published in the initial
Federal Register notice (FRN) (79 FR 44214, July 30, 2014). No request for a
hearing or petition for leave to intervene
was filed based on the superseded FRN.
To prevent any confusion about the time
to request a hearing, which may have
been caused by the original
(superseded) FRN, the NRC is now
resetting the period to request a hearing
or petition for leave to intervene.
II. Opportunity To Request a Hearing and Petition for Leave To Intervene Within 60 days after the date of publication of this Federal Register notice, any person whose interest may
be affected by this proceeding and who
desires to participate as a party in the
proceeding must file a written request
for hearing or a petition for leave to
intervene specifying the contentions
which the person seeks to have litigated
in the hearing with respect to the license amendment request. Requests
for hearing and petitions for leave to
intervene shall be filed in accordance
with the NRCs Agency Rules of
Practice and Procedure in 10 CFR part
- 2. Interested person(s) should consult a
current copy of 10 CFR 2.309, which is
available at the NRCs PDR. The NRCs
regulations are accessible electronically
from the NRC Library on the NRCs Web
site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/
doc-collections/cfr/.
As required by 10 CFR 2.309, a request for hearing or petition for leave
to intervene must set forth with
particularity the interest of the
petitioner in the proceeding and how
that interest may be affected by the
results of the proceeding. A request for
hearing or petition for leave to intervene
must state: (1) The name, address, and
telephone number of the requestor or
petitioner; (2) the nature of the
requestors/petitioners right under the
Act to be made a party to the
proceeding; (3) the nature and extent of
the requestors/petitioners property,
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
requestors/petitioners interest.
For each contention, the requestor/
petitioner must provide a specific
statement of the issue of law or fact to
be raised or controverted, as well as a
brief explanation of the basis for the
contention. Additionally, the requestor/
petitioner must demonstrate that the issue raised by each contention is
within the scope of the proceeding and
is material to the findings that the NRC
must make to support the granting of a
license amendment in response to the
application. The hearing request or
petition must also include a concise
statement of the alleged facts or expert
opinion that support the contention and
on which the requestor/petitioner
intends to rely at the hearing, together
with references to those specific sources
and documents. The hearing request or
petition must provide sufficient
information to show that a genuine
dispute exists with the applicant on a
material issue of law or fact, including
references to specific portions of the
application for amendment that the
petitioner disputes and the supporting
reasons for each dispute. If the
requestor/petitioner believes that the
application for amendment fails to
contain information on a relevant matter
as required by law, the requestor/
petitioner must identify each failure and
the supporting reasons for the
requestors/petitioners belief. Each
contention must be one which, if
proven, would entitle the requestor/
petitioner to relief. A requestor/
petitioner who does not satisfy these
requirements for at least one contention
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, and have the opportunity to
participate fully in the conduct of the hearing with respect to resolution of
that persons admitted contentions, VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:42 Aug 13, 2014Jkt 232001PO 00000Frm 00079Fmt 4703Sfmt 4703E:\FR\FM\14AUN1.SGM14AUN1 tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 47691 Federal Register/Vol. 79, No. 157/Thursday, August 14, 2014/Notices including the opportunity to present evidence and to submit a cross-
examination plan for cross-examination
of witnesses, consistent with NRC
regulations, policies, and procedures.
The Atomic Safety and Licensing Board
will set the time and place for any
prehearing conferences and evidentiary
hearings, and the appropriate notices
will be provided.
Hearing requests or petitions for leave to intervene must be filed no later than
60 days from the date of publication of
this notice. Requests for hearing,
petitions for leave to intervene, and
motions for leave to file new or
amended contentions that are filed after
the 60-day deadline will not be
entertained absent a determination by
the presiding officer that the filing
demonstrates good cause by satisfying
the three factors in 10 CFR
2.309(c)(1)(i)-(iii).
III. Electronic Submissions (E-Filing)
All documents filed in NRC adjudicatory proceedings, including a
request for hearing, a petition for leave
to intervene, any motion or other
document filed in the proceeding prior
to the submission of a request for
hearing or petition to intervene, and
documents filed by interested
governmental entities participating
under 10 CFR 2.315(c), must be filed in
accordance with the NRCs E-Filing rule
(72 FR 49139; August 28, 2007). 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. Participants may not
submit paper copies of their filings
unless they seek an exemption in
accordance with the procedures
described below.
To comply with the procedural requirements of E-Filing, at least ten 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 request (1) a digital
identification (ID) certificate, which
allows the participant (or its counsel or
representative) to digitally sign
documents and access the E-Submittal
server for any proceeding in which it is
participating; and (2) advise the
Secretary that the participant will be
submitting a request or petition for
hearing (even in instances in which the
participant, or its counsel or
representative, already holds an NRC-
issued digital ID certificate). Based upon
this information, the Secretary will
establish an electronic docket for the
hearing in this 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 Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/
getting-started.html.
System requirements for accessing the E-
Submittal server are detailed in the
NRCs Guidance for Electronic
Submission, which is available on the
agencys public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-
submittals.html.
Participants may attempt to use other software not listed on the Web site, but should note that the
NRCs E-Filing system does not support
unlisted software, and the NRC Meta
System Help Desk will not be able to
offer assistance in using unlisted
software.
If a participant is electronically submitting a document to the NRC in
accordance with the E-Filing rule, the
participant must file the document
using the NRCs online, Web-based
submission form. In order to serve
documents through the Electronic
Information Exchange System, users
will be required to install a Web
browser plug-in from the NRCs Web
site. Further information on the Web-

site at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html.
Once a participant has obtained a digital ID certificate and a docket has
been created, the participant can then
submit a request for hearing or petition
for leave to intervene. Submissions
should be in Portable Document Format
(PDF) in accordance with NRC guidance
available on the NRCs public Web site
at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html.
A filing is considered complete at the time the documents are 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 notice
confirming receipt of the document. The
E-Filing system also distributes an email
notice 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 documents on those
participants separately. Therefore,
applicants and other participants (or
their counsel or representative) must
apply for and receive a digital ID certificate before a hearing request/
petition to intervene is filed so that they
can obtain access to the document via
the E-Filing system.
A person filing electronically using the NRCs adjudicatory E-Filing system
may seek assistance by contacting the
NRC Meta System Help Desk through
the Contact Us link located on the
NRCs public Web site at http://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
Meta System Help Desk is available
between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Eastern
Time, Monday through Friday,
excluding government holidays.
Participants who believe that they have a 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 requesting authorization to
continue to submit documents in paper
format. Such filings must be submitted
by: (1) First class mail addressed to the
Office of the Secretary of the

Sixteenth Floor, One White Flint North,
11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville,
Maryland, 20852, Attention:
Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff.
Participants filing a document in this
manner are responsible for serving the
document on all other participants.
Filing is considered complete by first-
class mail as of the time of deposit in
the mail, or by courier, express mail, or
expedited delivery service upon
depositing the document with the
provider of the service. A presiding
officer, having granted an exemption
request from using E-Filing, may require
a participant or party to use E-Filing if
the presiding officer subsequently
determines that the reason for granting
the exemption from use of E-Filing no
longer exists.
Documents submitted in adjudicatory proceedings will appear in the NRCs

- I. Introduction The NRC issued amendments to Renewed Facility Operating License
Nos. DPR-31 and DPR-41, issued to
Florida Power & Light Company, for
operation of the Turkey Point Nuclear
Generating Units 3 and 4, located in
Miami-Dade County, Florida. The VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:42 Aug 13, 2014Jkt 232001PO 00000Frm 00078Fmt 4703Sfmt 4703E:\FR\FM\14AUN1.SGM14AUN1 tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 47690 Federal Register/Vol. 79, No. 157/Thursday, August 14, 2014/Notices amendments revise the UHS water temperature limit in the Turkey Point
TSs from 100 to 104
°F and revise surveillance requirements for
monitoring the UHS temperature and
CCW heat exchangers. The amendments
also made editorial changes to the TSs.
The Staff finds that the application for
the license amendments complies with
the requirements of the Atomic Energy
Act of 1954, as amended, and the NRCs
regulations. Copies of the Staffs
evaluation may be obtained and
examined at ADAMS Accession No.
In its letters dated July 10, and July 17, 2014, the licensee stated that the
UHS temperature has approached the
current TS limit of 100
°F. The licensee stated that the UHS temperature has
been trending higher than historical
averages in part because of reduced
water levels caused by unseasonably dry
weather and because of reduced cooling
efficiency caused by an algae bloom of
concentrations higher than previously
observed. The licensee requested a
timely review of its application to avoid
a dual unit shutdown that could affect
grid reliability. Therefore, the licensee
requested that the NRC process the
license amendment requests under
emergency circumstances in accordance with §50.91(a)(5) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR). The Staff considered the circumstances (i.e.
the dry weather, UHS temperature, algae
concentration, and grid reliability) and
found exigent circumstances exist, in
that a licensee and the Commission
must act quickly and that time does not
permit the Commission to publish a
Federal Register notice allowing 30 days for prior public comment. The
Staff also determined that the
amendment involves no significant
hazards considerations. Accordingly,
pursuant to 10 CFR 50.91(a)(6)(i)(A), the
Commission published a notice of an
opportunity for hearing and notice for
prior public comment on its proposed
determination that no significant
hazards consideration is involved; the
notice was published in the Federal Register on July 30, 2014 (79 FR 44214).
The licensees supplements dated July 22, July 24, July 26, and July 28, 2014,
provided additional information that
clarified the application, did not expand
the scope of the application as originally
noticed, and did not change the NRC
staffs original proposed no significant
hazards consideration determination as
published in the Federal Register on July 30, 2014. However, on July 29,
2014, the licensee supplemented its
amendment request with a proposed change that did increase the scope of the
request and affected the proposed no significant hazards consideration published in the Federal Register on July 30, 2014. Therefore, after
considering the continued exigent
circumstances related to the dry
weather, UHS temperature, algae
concentration, and grid reliability, and
pursuant to 10 CFR 50.91(a)(6)(i)(B), the
Staff used local media to provide
reasonable notice to the public in the area surrounding the licensees facility of the amendment request and the
proposed determination that no
significant hazards consideration is
involved, and provided a shortened
comment period. The licensees
supplement dated August 4, 2014,
provided additional information that
clarified the application, did not expand
the scope of the application as noticed
in the newspapers, and did not change
the NRC staffs revised proposed no
significant hazards consideration
determination as published in the
newspapers local to the Turkey Point
site. No comments have been received.
Because of the unpredictable nature of the dry weather, the UHS temperature,
algae concentration, and grid reliability,
the NRC determined that the exigent
circumstances remain. Therefore, the
NRC is issuing the amendments prior to
the expiration of the superseded 14-day
comment period published in the initial
Federal Register notice (FRN) (79 FR 44214, July 30, 2014). No request for a
hearing or petition for leave to intervene
was filed based on the superseded FRN.
To prevent any confusion about the time
to request a hearing, which may have
been caused by the original
(superseded) FRN, the NRC is now
resetting the period to request a hearing
or petition for leave to intervene.
II. Opportunity To Request a Hearing and Petition for Leave To Intervene Within 60 days after the date of publication of this Federal Register notice, any person whose interest may
be affected by this proceeding and who
desires to participate as a party in the
proceeding must file a written request
for hearing or a petition for leave to
intervene specifying the contentions
which the person seeks to have litigated
in the hearing with respect to the license amendment request. Requests
for hearing and petitions for leave to
intervene shall be filed in accordance
with the NRCs Agency Rules of
Practice and Procedure in 10 CFR part
- 2. Interested person(s) should consult a
current copy of 10 CFR 2.309, which is
available at the NRCs PDR. The NRCs
regulations are accessible electronically
from the NRC Library on the NRCs Web
site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/
doc-collections/cfr/.
As required by 10 CFR 2.309, a request for hearing or petition for leave
to intervene must set forth with
particularity the interest of the
petitioner in the proceeding and how
that interest may be affected by the
results of the proceeding. A request for
hearing or petition for leave to intervene
must state: (1) The name, address, and
telephone number of the requestor or
petitioner; (2) the nature of the
requestors/petitioners right under the
Act to be made a party to the
proceeding; (3) the nature and extent of
the requestors/petitioners property,
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
requestors/petitioners interest.
For each contention, the requestor/
petitioner must provide a specific
statement of the issue of law or fact to
be raised or controverted, as well as a
brief explanation of the basis for the
contention. Additionally, the requestor/
petitioner must demonstrate that the issue raised by each contention is
within the scope of the proceeding and
is material to the findings that the NRC
must make to support the granting of a
license amendment in response to the
application. The hearing request or
petition must also include a concise
statement of the alleged facts or expert
opinion that support the contention and
on which the requestor/petitioner
intends to rely at the hearing, together
with references to those specific sources
and documents. The hearing request or
petition must provide sufficient
information to show that a genuine
dispute exists with the applicant on a
material issue of law or fact, including
references to specific portions of the
application for amendment that the
petitioner disputes and the supporting
reasons for each dispute. If the
requestor/petitioner believes that the
application for amendment fails to
contain information on a relevant matter
as required by law, the requestor/
petitioner must identify each failure and
the supporting reasons for the
requestors/petitioners belief. Each
contention must be one which, if
proven, would entitle the requestor/
petitioner to relief. A requestor/
petitioner who does not satisfy these
requirements for at least one contention
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, and have the opportunity to
participate fully in the conduct of the hearing with respect to resolution of
that persons admitted contentions, VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:42 Aug 13, 2014Jkt 232001PO 00000Frm 00079Fmt 4703Sfmt 4703E:\FR\FM\14AUN1.SGM14AUN1 tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 47691 Federal Register/Vol. 79, No. 157/Thursday, August 14, 2014/Notices including the opportunity to present evidence and to submit a cross-
examination plan for cross-examination
of witnesses, consistent with NRC
regulations, policies, and procedures.
The Atomic Safety and Licensing Board
will set the time and place for any
prehearing conferences and evidentiary
hearings, and the appropriate notices
will be provided.
Hearing requests or petitions for leave to intervene must be filed no later than
60 days from the date of publication of
this notice. Requests for hearing,
petitions for leave to intervene, and
motions for leave to file new or
amended contentions that are filed after
the 60-day deadline will not be
entertained absent a determination by
the presiding officer that the filing
demonstrates good cause by satisfying
the three factors in 10 CFR
2.309(c)(1)(i)-(iii).
III. Electronic Submissions (E-Filing)
All documents filed in NRC adjudicatory proceedings, including a
request for hearing, a petition for leave
to intervene, any motion or other
document filed in the proceeding prior
to the submission of a request for
hearing or petition to intervene, and
documents filed by interested
governmental entities participating
under 10 CFR 2.315(c), must be filed in
accordance with the NRCs E-Filing rule
(72 FR 49139; August 28, 2007). 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. Participants may not
submit paper copies of their filings
unless they seek an exemption in
accordance with the procedures
described below.
To comply with the procedural requirements of E-Filing, at least ten 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 request (1) a digital
identification (ID) certificate, which
allows the participant (or its counsel or
representative) to digitally sign
documents and access the E-Submittal
server for any proceeding in which it is
participating; and (2) advise the
Secretary that the participant will be
submitting a request or petition for
hearing (even in instances in which the
participant, or its counsel or
representative, already holds an NRC-
issued digital ID certificate). Based upon
this information, the Secretary will
establish an electronic docket for the
hearing in this 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 Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/
getting-started.html.
System requirements for accessing the E-
Submittal server are detailed in the
NRCs Guidance for Electronic
Submission, which is available on the
agencys public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-
submittals.html.
Participants may attempt to use other software not listed on the Web site, but should note that the
NRCs E-Filing system does not support
unlisted software, and the NRC Meta
System Help Desk will not be able to
offer assistance in using unlisted
software.
If a participant is electronically submitting a document to the NRC in
accordance with the E-Filing rule, the
participant must file the document
using the NRCs online, Web-based
submission form. In order to serve
documents through the Electronic
Information Exchange System, users
will be required to install a Web
browser plug-in from the NRCs Web
site. Further information on the Web-
based submission form, including the
installation of the Web browser plug-in,
is available on the NRCs public Web
site at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html.
Once a participant has obtained a digital ID certificate and a docket has
been created, the participant can then
submit a request for hearing or petition
for leave to intervene. Submissions
should be in Portable Document Format
(PDF) in accordance with NRC guidance
available on the NRCs public Web site
at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html.
A filing is considered complete at the time the documents are 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 notice
confirming receipt of the document. The
E-Filing system also distributes an email
notice 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 documents on those
participants separately. Therefore,
applicants and other participants (or
their counsel or representative) must
apply for and receive a digital ID certificate before a hearing request/
petition to intervene is filed so that they
can obtain access to the document via
the E-Filing system.
A person filing electronically using the NRCs adjudicatory E-Filing system
may seek assistance by contacting the
NRC Meta System Help Desk through
the Contact Us link located on the
NRCs public Web site at http://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
Meta System Help Desk is available
between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Eastern
Time, Monday through Friday,
excluding government holidays.
Participants who believe that they have a 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 requesting authorization to
continue to submit documents in paper
format. Such filings must be submitted
by: (1) First class mail addressed to the
Office of the Secretary of the
Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, Washington, DC 20555-
0001, Attention: Rulemaking and
Adjudications Staff; or (2) courier,
express mail, or expedited delivery
service to the Office of the Secretary,
Sixteenth Floor, One White Flint North,
11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville,
Maryland, 20852, Attention:
Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff.
Participants filing a document in this
manner are responsible for serving the
document on all other participants.
Filing is considered complete by first-
class mail as of the time of deposit in
the mail, or by courier, express mail, or
expedited delivery service upon
depositing the document with the
provider of the service. A presiding
officer, having granted an exemption
request from using E-Filing, may require
a participant or party to use E-Filing if
the presiding officer subsequently
determines that the reason for granting
the exemption from use of E-Filing no
longer exists.
Documents submitted in adjudicatory proceedings will appear in the NRCs
electronic hearing docket which is
available to the public at http://ehd1.nrc.gov/ehd/,
unless excluded pursuant to an order of the Commission, or the presiding officer. Participants are
requested not to include personal
privacy information, such as social
security numbers, home addresses, or
home phone numbers in their filings,
unless an NRC regulation or other law
requires submission of such
information. However, a request to
intervene will require including VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:42 Aug 13, 2014Jkt 232001PO 00000Frm 00080Fmt 4703Sfmt 4703E:\FR\FM\14AUN1.SGM14AUN1 tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 47692 Federal Register/Vol. 79, No. 157/Thursday, August 14, 2014/Notices information on local residence in order to demonstrate a proximity assertion of

to copyrighted works, except for limited
excerpts that serve the purpose of the
adjudicatory filings and would
constitute a Fair Use application, participants are requested not to include copyrighted materials in their
submission.
