    Pursuant to delegation by the Commission dated December 29, 1972, 
published in the Federal Register, 37 FR 28,710 (1972), and the 
Commission's regulations, see 10 CFR 2.104, 2.300, 2.303, 2.309, 2.311, 
2.318, and 2.321, notice is hereby given that an Atomic Safety and 
Licensing Board is being established to preside over the following 
proceeding:

Florida Power and Light Co., St. Lucie Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2

    This Board is being established in response to a request for 
hearing that was filed pursuant to a notice issued by the NRC Staff (73 
FR 36,131 (June 25,

[[Page 44291]]

2008)) that provided an opportunity for a hearing on the immediately 
effective confirmatory order of June 13, 2008 for the St. Lucie Nuclear 
Plant. The confirmatory order arose from investigations at St. Lucie 
Nuclear Plant by the NRC Staff that identified apparent violations for 
which escalated enforcement action was considered. The confirmatory 
order is the result of an agreement reached between the NRC Staff and 
the licensee, Florida Power and Light Co., during an alternative 
dispute resolution session. The NRC Staff determined that its concerns 
regarding public health and safety could be resolved through 
confirmation of the licensee's commitments as prescribed in the 
confirmatory order. Mr. Thomas Saporito, in his capacity as president 
of Saporito Energy Consultants (SEC), has submitted a request for 
hearing on behalf of SEC and himself.
    The Board is comprised of the following administrative judges:

William J. Froehlich, Chairman, Atomic Safety and Licensing Board 
Panel, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.
Thomas S. Moore, Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel, U.S. Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.

    All correspondence, documents, and other materials shall be filed 
in accordance with the NRC E-Filing rule, which the NRC promulgated in 
August 2007 (72 FR 49,139).

    Issued at Rockville, Maryland, this 24th day of July, 2008.
E. Roy Hawkens,
Chief Administrative Judge, Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel.
