BILLING CODE 7590–01–P 

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket Numbers 50–498, 50–499; NRC– 

2010–0375] 

Notice of Acceptance for Docketing of 

the Application and Notice of 

Opportunity for Hearing Regarding 

Renewal of Facility Operating License 

Numbers NPF–76 and NPF–80 for an 

Additional 20-Year Period, STP Nuclear 

Operating Company, South Texas 

Project, Units 1 and 2 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC or the Commission) 

is considering an application for the 

renewal of operating licenses NPF–76 

and NPF–80, which authorizes STP 

Nuclear Operating Company (STPNOC), 

to operate the South Texas Project STP, 

Unit 1, at 3853 megawatts thermal and 

Unit 2 at 3853 megawatts thermal, 

respectively. The renewed licenses 

would authorize the applicant to 

operate STP, Units 1 and 2, for an 

additional 20 years beyond the period 

specified in the current licenses. STP, 

Units 1 and 2, are located near 

Wadsworth, TX; the current operating 

license for Unit 1 expires on August 20, 

2027, and Unit 2 expires on December 

15, 2028. 

STPNOC submitted the application 

dated October 25, 2010, pursuant to 

Title 10, Part 54, of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR Part 54), to renew 

operating licenses NPF–76 and NPF–80 

for STP, Units 1 and 2. A notice of 

receipt and availability of the license 

renewal application (LRA) was 

published in the Federal Register on 

December 9, 2010 (75 FR 76757). 

The NRC staff has determined that 

STPNOC has submitted sufficient 

information in accordance with 10 CFR 

Sections 54.19, 54.21, 54.22, 54.23, and 

51.53(c), to enable the staff to undertake 

a review of the application, and that the 

application is therefore acceptable for 

docketing. The current Docket Numbers 

50–498 and 50–499 for operating 

licenses NPF–76 and NPF–80, 

respectively, will be retained. The 

determination to accept the LRA for 

docketing does not constitute a 

determination that a renewed license 

should be issued, and does not preclude 

the NRC staff from requesting additional 

information as the review proceeds. 

Before issuance of the requested 

renewed licenses, the NRC will have 

made the findings required by the 

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended 

(the Act), and the Commission’s rules 

and regulations. In accordance with 10 

CFR 54.29, the NRC may issue the 

renewed licenses on the basis of its 

review if it finds that actions have been 

identified and have been or will be 

taken with respect to: (1) Managing the 

effects of aging during the period of 

extended operation on the functionality 

of structures and components that have 

been identified as requiring aging 

management review, and (2) timelimited aging analyses that have been 

identified as requiring review, such that 

there is reasonable assurance that the 

activities authorized by the renewed 

licenses will continue to be conducted 

in accordance with the current licensing 

basis (CLB) and that any changes made 

to the plant’s CLB will comply with the 

Act and the Commission’s regulations. 

Additionally, in accordance with 10 

CFR 51.95(c), the NRC will prepare an 

environmental impact statement that is 

a supplement to the Commission’s 

NUREG–1437, ‘‘Generic Environmental 

Impact Statement for License Renewal 

of Nuclear Power Plants,’’ dated May 

1996. In considering the LRA, the 

Commission must find that the 

applicable requirements of Subpart A of 

10 CFR Part 51 have been satisfied, and 

that matters raised under 10 CFR 2.335 

have been addressed. Pursuant to 10 

CFR 51.26, and as part of the 

environmental scoping process, the staff 

intends to hold a public scoping 

meeting. Detailed information regarding

1To the extent that the application contains 

attachments and supporting documents that are not 

publicly available because they are asserted to 

contain safeguards or proprietary information, 

petitioners desiring access to this information 

should contact the applicant or applicant’s counsel 

to discuss the need for a protective order. 

the environmental scoping meeting will 

be the subject of a separate Federal 

Register notice. 

Within 60 days after the date of 

publication of this Federal Register 

notice, any person whose interest may 

be affected by this proceeding and who 

wishes to participate as a party in the 

proceeding must file a written request 

for a hearing and a petition for leave to 

intervene with respect to the renewal of 

the license. Requests for a hearing or 

petitions for leave to intervene must be 

filed in accordance with the 

Commission’s ‘‘Rules of Practice for 

Domestic Licensing Proceedings and 

Issuance of Orders’’ in 10 CFR Part 2. 

Interested persons should consult a 

current copy of 10 CFR 2.309, which is 

available at the Commission’s Public 

Document Room (PDR), located at One 

White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike 

(first floor), Rockville, Maryland 20852, 

and is accessible from the NRC’s 

Agencywide Documents Access and 

Management System (ADAMS) Public 

Electronic Reading Room on the Internet 

at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/ 

adams.html. http://www.nrc.gov/ 

readingrm/adams.html. Persons who do 

not have access to the Internet or who 

encounter problems in accessing the 

documents located in ADAMS should 

contact the NRC’s PDR reference staff by 

telephone at 1–800–397–4209, or 

301–415–4737, or by e-mail at 

PDR.RESOURCE@nrc.gov. If a request 

for a hearing/petition for leave to 

intervene is filed within the 60-day 

period, the Commission or a presiding 

officer designated by the Commission or 

by the Chief Administrative Judge of the 

Atomic Safety and Licensing Board 

Panel will rule on the request and/or 

petition; and the Secretary or the Chief 

Administrative Judge of the Atomic 

Safety and Licensing Board Panel will 

issue a notice of a hearing or an 

appropriate order. In the event that no 

request for a hearing or petition for 

leave to intervene is filed within the 60- 

day period, the NRC may, upon 

completion of its evaluations and upon 

making the findings required under 10 

CFR Parts 51 and 54, renew the license 

without further notice. 

As required by 10 CFR 2.309, a 

petition for leave to intervene shall set 

forth with particularity the interest of 

the petitioner in the proceeding, and 

how that interest may be affected by the 

results of the proceeding, taking into 

consideration the limited scope of 

matters that may be considered 

pursuant to 10 CFR Parts 51 and 54. The 

petition must specifically explain the 

reasons why intervention should be 

permitted with particular reference to 

the following factors: (1) The nature of 

the requestor’s/petitioner’s right under 

the Act to be made a party to the 

proceeding; (2) the nature and extent of 

the requestor’s/petitioner’s property, 

financial, or other interest in the 

proceeding; and (3) the possible effect of 

any decision or order which may be 

entered in the proceeding on the 

requestor’s/petitioner’s interest. The 

petition must also set forth the specific 

contentions which the petitioner/ 

requestor seeks to have litigated at the 

proceeding. 

Each contention must consist of a 

specific statement of the issue of law or 

fact to be raised or controverted. In 

addition, the requestor/petitioner shall 

provide a brief explanation of the basis 

for each contention and a concise 

statement of the alleged facts or the 

expert opinion that supports the 

contention on which the requestor/ 

petitioner intends to rely in proving the 

contention at the hearing. The 

requestor/petitioner must also provide 

references to those specific sources and 

documents of which the requestor/ 

petitioner is aware and on which the 

requestor/petitioner intends to rely to 

establish those facts or expert opinion. 

The requestor/petitioner must provide 

sufficient information to show that a 

genuine dispute exists with the 

applicant on a material issue of law or 

fact.1 Contentions shall be limited to 

matters within the scope of the action 

under consideration. The contention 

must be one that, if proven, would 

entitle the requestor/petitioner to relief. 

A requestor/petitioner who fails to 

satisfy these requirements with respect 

to at least one contention will not be 

permitted to participate as a party. 

The Commission requests that each 

contention be given a separate numeric 

or alpha designation within one of the 

following groups: (1) Technical 

(primarily related to safety concerns); 

(2) environmental; or (3) miscellaneous. 

As specified in 10 CFR 2.309, if two 

or more requestors/petitioners seek to 

co-sponsor a contention or propose 

substantially the same contention, the 

requestors/petitioners will be required 

to jointly designate a representative who 

shall have the authority to act for the 

requestors/petitioners with respect to 

that contention. 

Those permitted to intervene become 

parties to the proceeding, subject to any 

limitations in the order granting leave to 

intervene, and have the opportunity to 

participate fully in the conduct of the 

hearing. A request for hearing or a 

petition for leave to intervene must be 

filed in accordance with the NRC E– 

Filing rule, which the NRC promulgated 

in August 2007, 72 FR 49139 (Aug. 28, 

2007). The E–Filing process requires 

participants to submit and serve 

documents over the internet or in some 

cases to mail copies on electronic 

storage media. Participants may not 

submit paper copies of their filings 

unless they seek a waiver in accordance 

with the procedures described below. 

To comply with the procedural 

requirements of E–Filing, at least ten 

(10) days prior to the filing deadline, the 

requestor/petitioner must contact the 

Office of the Secretary by e-mail at 

HEARINGDOCKET@NRC.GOV, or by 

calling (301) 415–1677, to request (1) a 

digital ID certificate, which allows the 

participant (or its counsel or 

representative) to digitally sign 

documents and access the E–Submittal 

server for any proceeding in which it is 

participating; and/or (2) creation of an 

electronic docket for the proceeding 

(even in instances in which the 

requestor/petitioner (or its counsel or 

representative) already holds an NRCissued digital ID certificate). Each 

requestor/petitioner will need to 

download the Workplace Forms 

ViewerTM to access the Electronic 

Information Exchange (EIE), a 

component of the E–Filing system. The 

Workplace Forms ViewerTM is free and 

is available at http://www.nrc.gov/sitehelp/e-submittals/install-viewer.html. 

Information about applying for a digital 

ID certificate is available on NRC’s 

public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/

site-help/e-submittals/applycertificates.html. 

Once a requestor/petitioner has 

obtained a digital ID certificate, had a 

docket created, and downloaded the EIE 

viewer, it can then submit a request for 

hearing or petition for leave to 

intervene. Submissions should be in 

Portable Document Format (PDF) in 

accordance with NRC guidance 

available on the NRC public Web site at 

http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html. A filing is considered 

complete at the time the filer submits its 

documents through EIE. To be timely, 

an electronic filing must be submitted to 

the EIE system no later than 11:59 p.m. 

Eastern Time on the due date. Upon 

receipt of a transmission, the E–Filing 

system time-stamps the document and 

sends the submitter an e-mail notice 

confirming receipt of the document. The 

EIE system also distributes an e-mail 

notice that provides access to the 

document to the NRC Office of the 

General Counsel and any others who 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
2428 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 9 / Thursday, January 13, 2011 / Notices 

have advised the Office of the Secretary 

that they wish to participate in the 

proceeding, so that the filer need not 

serve the documents on those 

participants separately. Therefore, 

applicants and other participants (or 

their counsel or representative) must 

apply for and receive a digital ID 

certificate before a hearing request/ 

petition to intervene is filed so that they 

can obtain access to the document via 

the E–Filing system. 

A person filing electronically may 

seek assistance through the ‘‘Contact Us’’ 

link located on the NRC Web site at 

http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html or by calling the NRC 

technical help line, which is available 

between 8:30 a.m. and 4:15 p.m., 

Eastern Time, Monday through Friday. 

The help line number is 1–800–397– 

4209 or locally, 301–415–4737. 

Participants who believe that they 

have a good cause for not submitting 

documents electronically must file a 

motion, in accordance with 10 CFR 

2.302(g), with their initial paper filing 

requesting authorization to continue to 

submit documents in paper format. 

Such filings must be submitted by: (1) 

First class mail addressed to the Office 

of the Secretary of the Commission, U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 

Washington, DC 20555–0001, Attention:

delivery service to the Office of the 

Secretary, Sixteenth Floor, One White 

Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, 

Rockville, Maryland 20852, Attention: 

Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff. 

Participants filing a document in this 

manner are responsible for serving the 

document on all other participants. 

Filing is considered complete by firstclass mail as of the time of deposit in 

the mail, or by courier, express mail, or 

expedited delivery service upon 

depositing the document with the 

provider of the service. 

Non-timely requests and/or petitions 

and contentions will not be entertained 

absent a determination by the 

Commission, the presiding officer, or 

the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board 

that the petition and/or request should 

be granted and/or the contentions 

should be admitted based on a 

balancing of the factors specified in 10 

CFR 2.309(c)(1)(i)-(viii). To be timely, 

filings must be submitted no later than 

11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due 

date. 

Documents submitted in adjudicatory 

proceedings will appear in NRC’s 

electronic hearing docket which is 

available to the public at http:// 

ehd.nrc.gov/EHD_Proceeding/home.asp, 

unless excluded pursuant to an order of 

the Commission, an Atomic Safety and 

Licensing Board, or a Presiding Officer. 

Participants are requested not to include 

personal privacy information, such as 

social security numbers, home 

addresses, or home phone numbers in 

their filings. 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 are requested 

not to include copyrighted materials in 

their submission.
