2The scope of, and procedural protocols

hearing in this proceeding are set forth in the 

Licensing Board’s orders of May 19, June 4, June 30, 

and December 17, 2010, as well as its October 7, 

2010 scheduling order. See Licensing Board Initial

Memorandum and Order (Providing Presentation

Previously, the Board issued a notice regarding 

participation by States, local governmental bodies, 

and Indian Tribes in the AEA/safety-related portion 

of this proceeding, see Atomic Safety and Licensing 

Board; Notice of Opportunity to Participate in 

Uncontested/Mandatory Hearing (Procedures for 

Participation by Interested Governmental Entities 

Regarding Safety Portion of Enrichment Facility 

Licensing Proceeding), 75 FR 63,213 (Oct. 14, 2010), 

which was the subject of an evidentiary hearing on 

January 25, 2011, in the Atomic Safety and 

Licensing Board Panel’s Rockville, Maryland 

hearing room, see Tr. at 90–272. 

3The Board anticipates issuing an additional 

order providing details regarding the schedule 

associated with, and the location of, the summer 

2011 evidentiary hearing on environmental/NEPArelated matters in the near future, which would 

include dates associated with possible additional 

participation by any State, local governmental body, 

or Indian Tribe that, in accord with this notice, 

provides a timely statement of issues/questions for 

the Board to consider in the mandatory/uncontested 

hearing. 

4States, local governments, or Indian Tribes 

should be aware that the uncontested/mandatory 

hearing is separate and distinct from the NRC’s 

contested hearing process, which has not been 

invoked in this proceeding. While States, local 

governments, or Indian Tribes participating as 

described above may take any position they wish, 

or no position at all, with respect to the AES 

application or the staff’s associated environmental 

review, they should be cognizant that, due to the 

inherently adversarial nature of such proceedings, 

many of the procedures and rights applicable to the 

NRC’s contested hearing process generally are not 

available with respect to this uncontested hearing. 

Participation in the NRC’s contested hearing 

process is governed by 10 CFR 2.309 (for persons 

or entities, including States, local governments, or 

Indian Tribes, seeking to file contentions of their 

own) and 10 CFR 2.315(c) (for interested States, 

local governments, and Indian Tribes seeking to 

participate with respect to contentions filed by 

others). Participation in this uncontested hearing 

does not affect the right of a State, local 

governmental entity, or Indian Tribe to participate 

in any separate contested hearing process that 

might be requested relative to this proceeding. 

Additionally, States, local governmental bodies, 

and Indian Tribes should be aware that, in accord 

with 10 CFR 2.315(a), the Board is currently 

accepting written limited appearance statements 

regarding this proceeding, and anticipates 

conducting one or more oral limited appearance 

sessions in conjunction with the planned summer 

2011 evidentiary hearing sessions. See Notice of 

Hearing (Notice of Evidentiary Hearing and 

Opportunity to View Hearing via Webstreaming;

Appearance Statements), 76 FR 387, 388 (Jan. 4,

In this 10 CFR part 70 proceeding 

regarding the request of applicant 

AREVA Enrichment Services, LLC, 

(AES) to construct and operate its 

proposed Eagle Rock Enrichment 

Facility (EREF) in Bonneville County, 

Idaho, on February 10, 2011, the NRC 

staff issued a notice of the availability 

of its final environmental impact 

statement (FEIS) analyzing the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)- 

related environmental aspects of the 

AES application (NUREG–1945, 

ADAMS Accession Nos. ML11014A005 

(Volume 1) and ML11014A006 (Volume 

2)). See Notice of Availability of [FEIS] 

for the [AES] Proposed [EREF] in 

Bonneville County, ID, 76 FR 9054 (Feb. 

16, 2011). In accord with Atomic Energy 

Act (AEA) section 274l, 42 U.S.C. 

§ 2021(l), using the agency’s E-Filing 

system,1 on or before Monday, April 4, 

2011, any interested State, local 

governmental body, or affected, 

Federally-recognized Indian Tribe may 

file with the Licensing Board in this 

proceeding a statement of any issues or 

questions about which the State, local 

governmental body, or Indian Tribe 

wishes the Board to give particular 

attention as part of the environmental/ 

FEIS-related portion of the uncontested/ 

mandatory hearing process associated 

with the AES application and the staff’s 

environmental review of that 

application.2 Such a statement of issues/ 

questions may be accompanied by any 

supporting documentation that the 

State, local governmental body, or 

Indian Tribe sees fit to provide. Any 

statements of issues/questions and 

supporting documentation (if any) 

received by the Board by the deadline 

indicated above will be made part of the 

record of this proceeding. 

The Board will use such statements of 

issues/questions and supporting 

documents as appropriate to inform its 

prehearing questions to the staff and 

applicant AES and its inquiries at the 

oral hearing currently scheduled for 

mid-to-late June or mid-July 2011, at a 

location in Idaho in the vicinity of the 

proposed EREF.3 The Board may also 

request that one or more of the 

particular States, local governmental 

bodies, or Indian Tribes providing a 

statement of issues/questions send 

representatives to the hearing to 

participate as the Board may deem 

appropriate, including answering Board 

questions and/or making a statement for
