NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 070-925]


Consideration of Amendment Request for Decommissioning the 
Cimarron Corporation Facility in Crescent, Okla., and Opportunity for 
Hearing

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of Consideration of Amendment Request for 
Decommissioning the Cimarron Corporation Facility in Crescent, 
Oklahoma, and Opportunity for Hearing.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is considering issuance of 
an amendment to Special Nuclear Material License No. SNM-928, issued to 
the Cimarron Corporation (the Licensee), for the decommissioning of its 
former nuclear fuel fabrication facility in Crescent, Oklahoma.
    The Licensee requested the amendment in a letter dated May 4, 1995, 
requesting that License No. SNM-928 be amended to incorporate the 
decommissioning plan (DP) for the Cimarron facility submitted to NRC in 
April 1995. Radioactive contamination at the Cimarron facility resulted 
from operations to produce enriched uranium reactor fuels conducted 
from 1965 through 1977. The Licensee also submitted a site 
characterization report in support of the DP. The license amendment 
would authorize the Licensee to decommission the Cimarron facility in 
accordance with the DP.
    The NRC will require the Licensee to remediate the Cimarron 
facility to meet NRC's criteria, and, during the decommissioning 
activities, to maintain effluents and doses as low as reasonably 
achievable.
    Prior to the issuance of the proposed amendment, NRC will have made 
findings required by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and 
NRC's regulations. These findings will be documented in a Safety 
Evaluation Report and an Environmental Assessment.
    The NRC hereby provides notice that this is a proceeding on an 
application for a license amendment falling within the scope of Subpart 
L, Informal Hearing Procedures for Adjudications in Materials Licensing 
Proceedings, of NRC's rules and practice for domestic licensing 
proceedings in 10 CFR part 2. Pursuant to Sec. 2.1205(a), any person 
whose interest may be affected by this proceeding may file a request 
for a hearing in accordance with Sec. 2.1205(c). A request for a 
hearing must be filed within thirty (30) days of the date of 
publication of this Federal Register notice.
    The request for a hearing must be filed with the Office of the 
Secretary either:
    1. By delivery to the Docketing and Service Branch of the Office of 
the Secretary at One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, 
Rockville, MD 20852-2738; or
    2. By mail or telegram addressed to the Secretary, U.S. Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555. Attention: Docketing and 
Service Branch.
    In addition to meeting other applicable requirements of 10 CFR part 
2 of the NRC's regulations, a request for a hearing filed by a person 
other than an applicant must describe in detail:
    1. The interest of the requestor in the proceeding;
    2. How that interest may be affected by the results of the 
proceeding, including the reasons why the requestor should be permitted 
a hearing, with particular reference to the factors set out in 
Sec. 2.1205(g);
    3. The requestor's areas of concern about the licensing activity 
that is the subject matter of the proceeding; and
    4. The circumstances establishing that the request for a hearing is 
timely in accordance with Sec. 2.1205(c).
    In accordance with 10 CFR 2.1205(e), each request for a hearing 
must also be served, by delivering it personally or by mail, to:
    1. The applicant, Cimarron Corporation, Kerr-McGee Center, P.O. Box 
25861, Oklahoma City, OK, 73125, Attention: Mr. Jess Larsen, and
    2. The NRC staff, by delivery to the Executive Director for
