notice is hereby given that an Atomic Safety and Licensing Board 
(Board) is being established to preside over the appeal from the NRC 
Staff's determination to deny requests for access to sensitive 
unclassified non-safeguards information (SUNSI) in the following 
proceeding:

    This appeal arises from an ``Order Imposing Procedures for Access 
to [SUNSI] and Safeguards Information for Contention Preparation'' 
dated February 13, 2009, which was included as part of a Federal 
Register notice providing an opportunity to petition for leave to 
intervene in a hearing on the application for a combined license for 
the South Texas Project Units 3 and 4 in Matagorda County, Texas. See 
74 FR 7943 (Feb. 20, 2009). By e-mail submission dated March 2, 2009, 
several individuals requested access to SUNSI material. By letter dated 
March 12, 2009, the NRC Staff denied the requests. On March 17, 2009, 
the requesters appealed the Staff's determination.
    The Board is comprised of the following Administrative Judges:

E. Roy Hawkens, Chair, Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel, U.S. 
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.
Anthony J. Baratta, Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel, U.S.

    Issued at Rockville, Maryland, this 27th day of March 2009.
E. Roy Hawkens,
Chief Administrative Judge, Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel.
