[Federal Register Volume 62, Number 179 (Tuesday, September 16, 1997)] [Notices] [Pages 48681-48682] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 97-24557] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION [Docket No.: 070-00925] Notice of Consideration of Amendment Request for Decommissioning the Cimarron Corporation Former Fuel Fabrication Facility in Crescent, Oklahoma, and Opportunity for a Hearing AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is considering issuance of a license amendment to Nuclear Material License No. SNM-928, issued to the Cimarron Corporation (the licensee), to authorize decommissioning of its facility previously used as a fuel fabrication facility. On April 19, 1995, the licensee submitted a site decommissioning plan (SDP) to NRC for review that summarized the decommissioning activities that will be undertaken to remove soils and rubble contaminated with radioactive material. NRC will require the licensee to remediate the Cimarron facility to meet NRC's decommissioning criteria, and during the decommissioning activities, to maintain effluents and doses within NRC requirements and as low as reasonably achievable. Prior to approving the SDP, 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 Approval of the SDP will be documented in an amendment to License No. SNM-928. NRC hereby provides notice that this is a proceeding on an application for amendment of a license falling within the scope of Subpart L, ``Informal Hearing Procedures for Adjudication 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.

By delivery to the Docketing and Services Branch, 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 20555-0001. Attention: Docketing and Services Branch. In addition to meeting other applicable requirements of 10 CFR Part 2 of 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 requester 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 requester'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, P.O. Box 25861, Oklahoma City, OK 73125 Attention: Mr. Jess Larsen; and 2.
