[Federal Register Volume 60, Number 90 (Wednesday, May 10, 1995)] [Notices] [Pages 24934-24935] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 95-11483] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
