NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. IA 97-070; ASLBP No. 98-734-01-EA]


Atomic Safety and Licensing Board; Notice of Evidentiary Hearing

June 10, 1998.
    In the Matter of: Magdy Elamir, M.D., Newark, New Jersey; Order 
Superseding Order Prohibiting Involvement in NRC-Licensed Activities 
(Effective Immediately).

    This proceeding concerns the request of Magdy Elamir, M.D., for a 
hearing with respect to the Order Superseding Order Prohibiting 
Involvement in NRC Licensed Activities (Effective Immediately), dated 
September 15, 1997, published at 62 FR 49536 (September 22, 1997). The 
parties to the proceeding are Dr. Elamir and the NRC Staff. The issue 
to be considered is whether the Superseding Order should be sustained--
in particular, whether the NRC Staff's currently effective suspension 
of Dr. Elamir from engaging in NRC-licensed activities should be 
continued for a period of five years from July 31, 1997, as a result of 
alleged deliberate violations of NRC requirements.
    Notice is hereby given that, as set forth in the Atomic Safety and 
Licensing Board's Memorandum and Order (Telephone Conference: Lifting 
of Stay; Schedules for Proceeding and Hearing), dated May 1, 1998, the 
evidentiary hearing in this proceeding will commence on Tuesday, July 
14, 1998, beginning at 9:30 a.m., at Room 204-205

(second floor), 970 Broad Street (enter on Walnut Street), Newark, New 
Jersey 07102. The hearing will continue, to the extent necessary, on 
July 15-16, 1998, at that same location, beginning at 9:00 a.m. each 
day. (The sessions are expected to adjourn at approximately 5:00 p.m. 
daily.)
    As provided by our May 1, 1998 Memorandum and Order, and consistent 
with 10 CFR 2.743(b)(3), written direct testimony of the parties need 
not be utilized, but the parties must have in our hands by Wednesday, 
July 8, 1998, lists of witnesses and documents they propose to use, 
together with statements of the qualifications of those witnesses 
(curriculum vitae). (If either of the parties elects to use prefiled 
written direct testimony, such testimony should be filed so as to be in 
our hands by July 8, 1998.)
    Notice is also hereby given that, in accordance with 10 CFR 
2.715(a), the Licensing Board will hear oral limited appearance 
statements on Tuesday, July 14, 1998, at the outset of the hearing and 
in the aforementioned hearing room. A person not a party to the 
proceeding will be permitted to make such a statement, setting forth 
his or her position on the issues. The number of persons making oral 
statements and the time allotted for each statement may be limited 
depending on the number of persons present at the designated time. 
(Normally, each oral statement may extend for up to five (5) minutes.) 
These statements do not constitute testimony or evidence but may assist 
the Licensing Board and parties in defining the scope of the issues in 
the proceeding.
    Requests to make oral statements may be submitted to the Office of 
the Secretary, Docketing and Service Branch, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555. A copy of each such request should 
also be submitted to Judge Charles Bechhoefer, Chairman of this 
Licensing Board, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ASLBP, T-3 F23,
