NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50-387, 50-388, and 72-28; ASLBP No. 16-949-01-LT-BD01]


Susquehanna Nuclear, LLC; 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, 
2.309, 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 
an appeal from the NRC Staff's denial of a request for access to 
sensitive unclassified non-safeguards information (SUNSI) in the 
following proceeding:

Susquehanna Nuclear, LLC (Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, Units 1 
and 2)

    This appeal arises from an ``Order Imposing Procedures for Access 
to [SUNSI] and Safeguards Information for Contention Preparation'' that 
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 an indirect license transfer of the interests of 
Susquehanna Nuclear, LLC (SN), in the operating licenses of Susquehanna 
Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2 (SSES) and the general license 
for the SSES independent spent fuel storage installation from current 
SN parent holder Talen Energy Corporation to Riverstone Holdings, LLC. 
See 81 FR 68,462, 68,465 (Oct. 4, 2016). By email dated October 11, 
2016, Mr. Sabatini Monatesti requested access to SUNSI material, and he 
supplemented the request with another email dated October 17, 2016. By 
letter dated October 20, 2016, the NRC Staff denied the requests. On 
October 23, 2016, Mr. Sabatini appealed the Staff's determination by 
sending an email directly to the NRR Staff. He repeated his appeal and 
supplemented it by two additional emails sent to all parties on October 
24, 2016.
    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
G. Paul Bollwerk, III, Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel, U.S. 
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001
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. See 10 CFR 2.302.

    Rockville, Maryland.

    Dated: October 26, 2016.
E. Roy Hawkens,
Chief Administrative Judge, Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel.
