SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 14, 2016, the petitioner requested 
that the NRC take action with regard to DCPP (ADAMS Accession No. 
ML16196A294). The petitioner requested the NRC to issue a Demand for 
Information pursuant to section 2.204 of title 10 of the Code of 
Federal Regulations (10 CFR), to Pacific Gas and Electric Company 
(PG&E, the licensee for DCPP) requiring the company to provide the NRC 
with a written explanation as to why its license amendment request 
dated June 17, 2015 (ADAMS Package Accession No. ML15176A539), failed 
to provide complete and accurate information needed by the NRC staff to 
complete its review and the measures it will implement so as to comply 
with 10 CFR 50.9, ``Completeness and accuracy of information,'' in 
future submittals to the NRC.
    As a basis for this request, the petitioner states that the NRC's 
numerous requests for additional information during the license 
amendment process constitute prima facie evidence that PG&E violated 10 
CFR 50.9 due to the incomplete and inaccurate information in the 
original license amendment request.
    The request is being treated pursuant to 10 CFR 2.206 of the 
Commission's regulations and has been referred to the Director of the 
Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. The petitioner submitted 
supplemental information (ADAMS Accession No. ML16215A109) and 
addressed the Petition Review Board via teleconference on August 2, 
2016, to discuss the petition; the transcript of that meeting is an 
additional supplement to the petition (ADAMS Accession No. 
ML16232A570). The results of that discussion were considered in the 
Board's determination regarding the petitioner's request for 
enforcement action and in establishing the schedule for the review of 
the petition. The Director determined that the petitioner's request for 
enforcement action at DCPP met the criteria for review under the 10 CFR 
2.206 process. The NRC will take appropriate action on this petition 
within a reasonable time.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 9th day of November, 2016.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
William M. Dean,
Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
