UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket Nos. 70-7001; 70-7002]


 United States Enrichment Corporation: Paducah Gaseous Diffusion 
Plant; Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant; Notice of Cancellation of 
Comment Period and Cancellation of Public Meetings Due to Inadequate 
Application for Certification

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) received by letter 
dated April 18, 1995, an application from the United States Enrichment 
Corporation (USEC) for the initial certification of the gaseous 
diffusion plants (GDPs) located near Paducah, Kentucky and Piketon, 
Ohio. Notice of receipt of this application along with notice of 
comment period and public meetings was published in The Federal 
Register on April 28, 1995 (60 FR 21011). However, NRC's preliminary 
[[Page 24935]] review of the application indicates that the application 
does not contain enough information for NRC to determine compliance 
with NRC regulation 10 CFR part 76. Therefore, USEC has been notified 
that it must submit a new application. Note that this determination 
does not constitute a finding that the GDP operations are unsafe or in 
noncompliance.
    The public comment period from April 28, 1995 to June 15, 1995, and 
the public meetings scheduled for May 23 and May 24, 1995, have been 
cancelled. They will be rescheduled at a later date when USEC submits 
the new application.
    Copies of the application for certification (except for classified 
and proprietary portions withheld in accordance with 10 CFR 2.790, 
``Availability of Public Records''), dated April 18, 1995, will 
continue to be available for public inspection and copying at the 
Commission's Public Document Room (PDR) and Local Public Document Rooms 
(LPDR) established for the gaseous diffusion plants. Upon receipt, 
USEC's new application will also be made available at the PDR and 
respective LPDR's. Copies of related correspondence and staff 
evaluations (except for portions withheld in accordance with 10 CFR 
2.790) will continue to be made available at these locations.
