NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50-361-CAL, 50-362-CAL; ASLBP No. 13-924-01-CAL-BD01]


Southern California Edison Company; Establishment of Atomic 
Safety and Licensing Board

    Pursuant to delegation by the Commission, see 37 FR 28,710 (Dec. 
29, 1972), and the Commission's regulations, see 10 CFR 2.104, 2.105, 
2.300, 2.309, 2.313, 2.318, and 2.321, notice is hereby given that an 
Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (Board) is being established to 
preside over the following proceeding:

Southern California Edison Company

(San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Units 2 and 3)

    This proceeding involves a March 27, 2012 NRC Confirmatory Action 
Letter (CAL) issued to Southern California Edison Company (SCE), and 
the NRC Commission's November 8, 2012 decision in CLI-12-20 referring 
to the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel that portion of Friends 
of the Earth's June 18, 2012 intervention petition challenging the CAL. 
In particular, the Commission directs (CLI-12-20, slip op. at 5) that a 
duly constituted Board ``consider whether: (1) the [CAL] issued to SCE 
constitutes a de facto license amendment that would be subject to a 
hearing opportunity under Section 189a [of the Atomic Energy Act]; and, 
if so, (2) whether the petition meets the standing and contention 
admissibility requirements of 10 CFR Sec.  2.309.''
    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;
    Dr. Anthony J. Baratta, Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel, 
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001l
    Dr. Gary S. Arnold, Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel, U.S. 
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.
    All correspondence, documents, and other materials shall be filed 
in accordance with the NRC E-Filing rule (10 CFR 2.302), which the NRC 
promulgated in August 2007 (72 FR 49,139).
