NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 72-4]


Duke Energy Corporation; Notice of Docketing of the Materials 
License SNM-2503; Amendment Application for the Oconee Independent 
Spent Fuel Storage Installation

    By letter dated October 31, 2001, Duke Energy Corporation (DEC) 
submitted an application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or 
Commission) in accordance with 10 CFR part 72 requesting an amendment 
of the Oconee independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) 
license (SNM-2503) for the ISFSI located in Oconee County, South 
Carolina. DEC is seeking Commission approval to amend its license to 
change the ISFSI's technical specifications for environmental reporting 
to the NRC. DEC has requested to change the frequency for submitting an 
environmental report of radioactive effluent releases from semi-
annually to annually, in accordance with current NRC environmental 
reporting requirements in 10 CFR 72.44(d).
    This application was docketed under 10 CFR part 72; the ISFSI 
Docket No. is 72-4 and will remain the same for this action. The 
amendment of an ISFSI license is subject to the Commission's approval.
    The Commission may issue either a notice of hearing or a notice of 
proposed action and opportunity for hearing in accordance with 10 CFR 
72.46(b)(1) or, if a determination is made that the amendment does not 
present a genuine issue as to whether public health and safety will be 
significantly affected, take immediate action on the amendment in 
accordance with 10 CFR 72.46(b)(2) and provide notice of the action 
taken and an opportunity for interested persons to request a hearing on 
whether the action should be rescinded or modified.
    For further details with respect to this application, see the 
application dated October 31, 2001, which is available for public 
inspection at the Commission's Public Document Room, One White Flint 
North Building, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD or from the 
publicly available records component of NRC's Agencywide Documents 
Access and Management System (ADAMS) under Accession No. ML020230028.

public documents. These documents may be accessed through the NRC's
