NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Notice of Availability; Draft NUREG-1574, Revision 2, ``Standard
Review Plan on Transfer and Amendment of Antitrust License Conditions
and Antitrust Enforcement''
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Standard Review Plan.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The NRC is seeking public comment on draft NUREG-1574,
Revision 2, entitled ``Standard Review Plan on Transfer and Amendment
of Antitrust License Conditions and Antitrust Enforcement.'' This
standard review plan (SRP) documents procedures and guidance to be used
by the staff to analyze license transfer applications and license
amendment applications involving existing antitrust license conditions,
to report to the Attorney General information indicating that a
licensee's use of atomic energy appears to have violated the antitrust
laws, and to take appropriate enforcement action for a licensee's
violation of its antitrust license conditions. Because the SRP
describes internal agency procedures and is based on existing
Commission guidance in this area, the SRP is being published for
interim use. However, the Commission is inviting public comment on the
SRP and is interested in possible improvements to it. Public comments
will be considered in evaluating the NRC review process in this area.
DATES: The public is invited to submit comments on the SRP by July 9,
2007. Comments received after this date will be considered if it is
practical to do so, but assurance of consideration cannot be given
except as to comments received on or before this date. On the basis of
the submitted comments, the Commission will determine whether to modify
the SRP before issuing it in final form.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The draft NUREG-1574, Revision 2, entitled
``Standard Review Plan on Transfer and Amendment of Antitrust License
Conditions and Antitrust Enforcement'' [ML070160586] reflects the
Energy Policy Act of 2005's removal of the NRC's antitrust review
responsibilities for applications for licenses under sections 103 and
104 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. The SRP provides
guidance on the appropriate disposition of antitrust license conditions
during license transfers and for the review of applications to amend
antitrust license conditions outside of license transfers. The SRP also
provides guidance regarding the NRC's responsibility to refer certain
antitrust matters to the Attorney General, and regarding the NRC's
enforcement of antitrust license conditions. The SRP supersedes NUREG-
1574, Standard Review Plan on Antitrust Reviews, published December
1997, in its entirety.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 29th day of May, 2007.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Michael J. Case,
Director, Division of Policy and Rulemaking, Office of Nuclear Reactor
Regulation.
