II. Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendments to Facili ty Operating
Licenses and Combined Licenses and Proposed No Significant Haza rds
Consideration Determination
For the facility-specific amendment requests shown in this not ice, the
Commission finds that the licensees analyses provided, consist ent with section 50.91 of
title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), are sufficient to support the
proposed determinations that these amendment requests involve N SHC. Under the
Commissions regulations in 10 CFR 50.92, operation of the faci lities in accordance with
the proposed amendments would not (1) involve a significant inc rease in the probability
or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; or (2) cre ate 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 de terminations.
Any comments received within 30 days after the date of publicat ion of this notice will be
considered in making any final determinations.
Normally, the Commission will not issue the amendments until t he expiration of
60 days after the date of publication of this notice. The Comm ission 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
4 Commission takes action on any of these amendments prior to the expiration of either
the comment period or the notice period, it will publish in the Federal Register a notice of
issuance. If the Commission makes a final NSHC determination f or any of these
amendments, any hearing will take place after issuance. The Co mmission expects that
the need to take action on any amendment before 60 days have el apsed will occur very
infrequently.
A. Opportunity to Request a Hearing and Petition for Leave to I ntervene
Within 60 days after the date of publication of this notice, an y persons (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 Prac tice and 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
a hearing will be issued.
As required by 10 CFR 2.309(d) the 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 to be made a party to the proceeding;
(3) the nature and extent of the petitioners property, financi al, or other interest in the
proceeding; and (4) the possible effect of any decision or orde r 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 that the petitioner seeks to have litigated in the proceeding. Each contention
5 must consist of a specific statement of the issue of law or fac t 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 that
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
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
that, if proven, would entitle the petitioner to relief. A pet itioner 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.
If a hearing is requested, and the Commission has not made a fi nal
determination on the issue of NSHC, the Commission will make a final determination on
6 the issue of NSHC. The final determination will serve to estab lish when the hearing is
held. If the final determination is that the amendment request involves NSHC, the
Commission may issue the amendment and make it immediately effe ctive,
notwithstanding the request for a hearing. Any hearing would t ake place after issuance
of the amendment. If the final determination is that the amend ment request involves a
significant hazards consideration, then any hearing held would take place before the
issuance of the amendment unless the Commission finds an immine nt 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 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 issions (E-Filing) section
of this document, and should meet the requirements for petition s set forth in this section,
except that under 10 CFR 2.309(h)(2) a State, local governmenta l body, or Federally
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 reco gnized Indian Tribe, or
agency thereof may participate as a non-party under 10 CFR 2.31 5(c).
If a petition is submitted, any person who is not a party to th e proceeding and is
not affiliated with or represented by a party may, at the discr etion of the presiding officer,
be permitted to make a limited appearance pursuant to the provi sions of
10 CFR 2.315(a). A person making a limited appearance may make an oral or written
7 statement of his or her position on the issues but may not othe rwise 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 imposed by the
presiding officer. Details regarding the opportunity to make a limited appearance will be
provided by the presiding officer if such sessions are schedule d.
B. Electronic Submissions (E-Filing)
All documents filed in NRC adjudicatory proceedings including d ocuments 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 permitt ing an alternative filing
method, as discussed in this notice, is granted. Detailed guid ance on electronic
submissions is located in the Guidance for Electronic Submissio ns to the NRC (ADAMS
Accession No. ML13031A056) and on t he NRC website at https://www.nrc.gov/site-
help/e-submittals.html.
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
8 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 timestamps the document and s ends the submitter an
e-mail confirming receipt of the document. The E-Filing system also distributes an e-
mail that provides access to the document to the NRCs Office o f the General Counsel
and any others who have advised the Office of the Secretary tha t they wish to participate
in the proceeding, so that the filer need not serve the documen t on those participants
separately. Therefore, applicants and other participants (or t heir counsel or
representative) must apply for and receive a digital ID certifi cate 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 tol l-free call at 1-866-
672-7640. The NRC Electronic Filing Help Desk is available between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.,
Eastern Time, Monday through Friday, excluding government holid ays.
9 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 previously described, 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
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.
