II. Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendments to Facility
Operating Licenses and Combined Licenses and Proposed No Significant
Hazards Consideration Determination
For the facility-specific amendment requests shown in this notice,
the Commission finds that the licensees' analyses provided, consistent
with section 50.91 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10
CFR) ``Notice for public comment; State consultation,'' are sufficient
to support the proposed determinations that these amendment requests
involve NSHC. Under the Commission's regulations in 10 CFR 50.92,
operation of the facilities in accordance with the proposed amendments
would not (1) involve a significant increase in the probability or
consequences of an accident previously evaluated; or (2) create the
possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident
previously evaluated; or (3) involve a significant reduction in a
margin of safety.
The Commission is seeking public comments on these proposed
[[Page 12832]]
determinations. Any comments received within 30 days after the date of
publication of this notice will be considered in making any final
determinations.
Normally, the Commission will not issue the amendments until the
expiration of 60 days after the date of publication of this notice. The
Commission may issue any of these license amendments before expiration
of the 60-day period provided that its final determination is that the
amendment involves NSHC. In addition, the Commission may issue any of
these amendments prior to the expiration of the 30-day comment period
if circumstances change during the 30-day comment period such that
failure to act in a timely way would result, for example in derating or
shutdown of the facility. If the Commission takes action on any of
these amendments prior to the expiration of either the comment period
or the notice period, it will publish in the Federal Register a notice
of issuance. If the Commission makes a final NSHC determination for any
of these amendments, any hearing will take place after issuance. The
Commission expects that the need to take action on any amendment before
60 days have elapsed will occur very infrequently.
A. Opportunity To Request a Hearing and Petition for Leave To Intervene
Within 60 days after the date of publication of this notice, any
person (petitioner) whose interest may be affected by any of these
actions may file a request for a hearing and petition for leave to
intervene (petition) with respect to that action. Petitions shall be
filed in accordance with the Commission's ``Agency Rules of Practice
and Procedure'' in 10 CFR part 2. Interested persons should consult 10
CFR 2.309. If a petition is filed, the Commission or a presiding
officer will rule on the petition and, if appropriate, a notice of a
hearing will be issued.
Petitions must be filed no later than 60 days from the date of
publication of this notice in accordance with the filing instructions
in the ``Electronic Submissions (E-Filing)'' section of this document.
Petitions and motions for leave to file new or amended contentions that
are filed after the deadline will not be entertained absent a
determination by the presiding officer that the filing demonstrates
good cause by satisfying the three factors in 10 CFR 2.309(c)(1)(i)
through (iii).
If a hearing is requested, and the Commission has not made a final
determination on the issue of no significant hazards consideration, the
Commission will make a final determination on the issue of no
significant hazards consideration, which will serve to establish when
the hearing is held. If the final determination is that the license
amendment request involves no significant hazards consideration, the
Commission may issue the amendment and make it immediately effective,
notwithstanding the request for a hearing. Any hearing would take place
after issuance of the amendment. If the final determination is that the
license amendment request involves a significant hazards consideration,
then any hearing held would take place before the issuance of the
amendment unless the Commission finds an imminent danger to the health
or safety of the public, in which case it will issue an appropriate
order or rule under 10 CFR part 2.
A State, local governmental body, Federally recognized Indian
Tribe, or designated agency thereof, may submit a petition to the
Commission to participate as a party under 10 CFR 2.309(h) no later
than 60 days from the date of publication of this notice.
Alternatively, a State, local governmental body, Federally recognized
Indian Tribe, or designated agency thereof, may participate as a non-
party under 10 CFR 2.315(c).
For information about filing a petition and about participation by
a person not a party under 10 CFR 2.315, see ADAMS Accession No.
ML20340A053 (https://adamswebsearch2.nrc.gov/webSearch2/main.jsp?AccessionNumber=ML20340A053) and the NRC's public website
(https://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/regulatory/adjudicatory/hearing.html#participate).
B. Electronic Submissions (E-Filing)
All documents filed in NRC adjudicatory proceedings, including
documents filed by an interested State, local governmental body,
Federally recognized Indian Tribe, or designated agency thereof that
requests to participate under 10 CFR 2.315(c), must be filed in
accordance with 10 CFR 2.302. The E-Filing process requires
participants to submit and serve all adjudicatory documents over the
internet, or in some cases, to mail copies on electronic storage media,
unless an exemption permitting an alternative filing method, as further
discussed, is granted. Detailed guidance on electronic submissions is
located in the ``Guidance for Electronic Submissions to the NRC''
(ADAMS Accession No. ML13031A056), and on the NRC's public website
(https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html).
To comply with the procedural requirements of E-Filing, at least 10
days prior to the filing deadline, the participant should contact the
Office of the Secretary by email at [email protected], or by
telephone at 301-415-1677, to: (1) request a digital identification
(ID) certificate which allows the participant (or their counsel or
representative) to digitally sign submissions and access the E-Filing
system for any proceeding in which it is participating; and (2) advise
the Secretary that the participant will be submitting a petition or
other adjudicatory document (even in instances in which the
participant, or their counsel or representative, already holds an NRC-
issued digital ID certificate). Based upon this information, the
Secretary will establish an electronic docket for the proceeding if the
Secretary has not already established an electronic docket.
Information about applying for a digital ID certificate is
available on the NRC's public website (https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/getting-started.html). After a digital ID certificate is
obtained and a docket is created, the participant must submit
adjudicatory documents in the Portable Document Format. Guidance on
submissions is available on the NRC's public website (https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/electronic-sub-ref-mat.html). A filing is
considered complete at the time the document is submitted through the
NRC's E-Filing system. To be timely, an electronic filing must be
submitted to the E-Filing system no later than 11:59 p.m. ET on the due
date. Upon receipt of a transmission, the E-Filing system time-stamps
the document and sends the submitter an email confirming receipt of the
document. The E-Filing system also distributes an email that provides
access to the document to the NRC's Office of the General Counsel and
any others who have advised the Office of the Secretary that they wish
to participate in the proceeding, so that the filer need not serve the
document on those participants separately. Therefore, applicants and
other participants (or their counsel or representative) must apply for
and receive a digital ID certificate before adjudicatory documents are
filed in order to obtain access to the documents via the E-Filing
system.
A person filing electronically using the NRC's adjudicatory E-
Filing system may seek assistance by contacting the NRC's Electronic
Filing Help Desk through the ``Contact Us'' link located on the NRC's
public website (https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html), by
email to
[[Page 12833]]
[email protected], or by a toll-free call at 1-866-672-7640. The
NRC Electronic Filing Help Desk is available between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.,
ET, Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.
Participants who believe that they have good cause for not
submitting documents electronically must file an exemption request, in
accordance with 10 CFR 2.302(g), with their initial paper filing
stating why there is good cause for not filing electronically and
requesting authorization to continue to submit documents in paper
format. Such filings must be submitted in accordance with 10 CFR
2.302(b)-(d). Participants filing adjudicatory documents in this manner
are responsible for serving their documents on all other participants.
Participants granted an exemption under 10 CFR 2.302(g)(2) must still
meet the electronic formatting requirement in 10 CFR 2.302(g)(1),
unless the participant also seeks and is granted an exemption from 10
CFR 2.302(g)(1).
Documents submitted in adjudicatory proceedings will appear in the
NRC's electronic hearing docket, which is publicly available on the
NRC's public website (https://adams.nrc.gov/ehd), unless otherwise
excluded pursuant to an order of the presiding officer. If you do not
have an NRC-issued digital ID certificate as previously described,
click ``cancel'' when the link requests certificates and you will be
automatically directed to the NRC's electronic hearing docket where you
will be able to access any publicly available documents in a particular
hearing docket. Participants are requested not to include personal
privacy information such as social security numbers, home addresses, or
personal phone numbers in their filings unless an NRC regulation or
other law requires submission of such information. With respect to
copyrighted works, except for limited excerpts that serve the purpose
of the adjudicatory filings and would constitute a Fair Use
application, participants should not include copyrighted materials in
their submission.
The following table provides the plant name, docket number, date of
application, ADAMS accession number, and location in the application of
the licensees' proposed NSHC determinations. For further details with
respect to these license amendment applications, see the applications
for amendment, which are available for public inspection in ADAMS. For
additional direction on accessing information related to this document,
see the ``Obtaining Information and Submitting Comments'' section of
this document.

IV. Notice of Issuance of Amendments to Facility Operating Licenses and
Combined Licenses and Final Determination of No Significant Hazards
Consideration and Opportunity for a Hearing (Exigent Circumstances or
Emergency Situation)
Since publication of the last monthly notice, the Commission has
issued the following amendment. The Commission has determined for this
amendment that the application for the amendment complies with the
standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended
(the Act), and the Commission's rules and regulations. The Commission
has made appropriate findings as required by the Act and the
Commission's rules and regulations in 10 CFR chapter I, which are set
forth in the license amendment.
Because of exigent circumstances or emergency situation associated
with the date the amendment was needed, there was not time for the
Commission to publish, for public comment before issuance, its usual
notice of consideration of issuance of amendment, proposed NSHC
determination, and opportunity for a hearing.
For exigent circumstances, the Commission has either issued a
Federal Register notice providing opportunity for public comment or has
used local media to provide notice to the public in the area
surrounding a licensee's facility of the licensee's application and of
the Commission's proposed determination of NSHC. The Commission has
provided a reasonable opportunity for the public to comment, using its
best efforts to make available to the public means of communication for
the public to respond quickly, and in the case of telephone comments,
the comments have been recorded or transcribed as appropriate, and the
licensee has been informed of the public comments.
In circumstances where failure to act in a timely way would have
resulted, for example, in derating or shutdown of a nuclear power plant
or in prevention of either resumption of operation or of increase in
power output up to the plant's licensed power level (an emergency
situation), the Commission may not have had an opportunity to provide
for public comment on its NSHC determination. In such case, the license
amendment has been issued without opportunity for comment prior to
issuance. Nonetheless, the State has been consulted by telephone
whenever possible.
Under its regulations, the Commission may issue and make an
amendment immediately effective, notwithstanding the pendency before it
of a request for a hearing from any person, in advance of the holding
and completion of any required hearing, where it has determined that
NSHC is involved. The Commission has applied the standards of 10 CFR
50.92 and has made a final determination that the amendments involve
NSHC. The basis for this determination is contained in the NRC staff
safety evaluation related to each action. Accordingly, the amendment
has been issued and made effective as indicated.
For those amendments that have not been previously noticed in the
Federal Register, within 60 days after the date of publication of this
notice, any persons (petitioner) whose interest may be affected by this
action may file a request for a hearing and petition for leave to
intervene (petition) with respect to the action. Petitions shall be
filed in accordance with the guidance concerning the Commission's
``Agency Rules of Practice and Procedure'' in 10 CFR part 2 as
discussed in section II.A of this document.
Unless otherwise indicated, the Commission has determined that the
amendment satisfies the criteria for categorical exclusion in
accordance with 10 CFR 51.22. Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b),
no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be
prepared for this amendment. If the Commission has prepared an
environmental assessment under the special circumstances provision in
10 CFR 51.12(b) and has made a determination based on that assessment,
it is so indicated in the safety evaluation for the amendment.
For further details with respect to these actions, see the
amendment and associated documents such as the Commission's letter and
safety evaluation, which may be obtained using the ADAMS accession
numbers indicated in the following table. The safety evaluation will
provide the ADAMS accession number for the application for amendment
and the Federal Register citation for any environmental assessment. All
of these items can be accessed as described in the ``Obtaining
Information and Submitting Comments'' section of this document.
