NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 72-11]


Sacramento Municipal Utility District, Rancho Seco Independent 
Spent Fuel Storage Installation; Notice of Docketing of Materials 
License SNM-2510; Application for an Exemption and for a Conforming 
Amendment

    By letter dated July 19, 2004, Sacramento Municipal Utility 
District (SMUD or the licensee) submitted an application to the Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) requesting an exemption 
from the requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 
(10 CFR) 72.44(d)(3) pursuant to 10 CFR 72.7 and also requesting a 
conforming amendment to the Rancho Seco Independent Spent Fuel Storage 
Installation (ISFSI) technical specifications pursuant to 10 CFR 72.56.
    The licensee is requesting Commission approval to be relieved from 
submitting an annual report to the Commission specifying the quantity 
of principal radionuclides released to the environment in liquid and 
gaseous effluent during the previous 12 months of the Rancho Seco ISFSI 
operation. The licensee is currently storing spent fuel at the Rancho 
Seco ISFSI on the site of the Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station 
located in Sacramento County, California under license SNM-2510. If the 
exemption is granted, then as further requested by the licensee, upon 
approval of the Commission, the Rancho Seco ISFSI license, SNM-2510, 
would be amended to remove this requirement from the technical 
specifications.
    This application was docketed under 10 CFR part 72; the ISFSI 
Docket No. is 72-11 and will remain the same for this action.
    In accordance with the requirement of 10 CFR 51.21, NRC will 
perform an environmental assessment of the potential environmental 
impacts of this exemption request. The exemption (in conjunction with 
the conforming license amendment) is subject to the Commission's 
approval.
    If the Commission grants the requested exemption, the Commission 
may issue either a notice of hearing or a notice of proposed action and 
opportunity for hearing in accordance with 10 CFR 72.46(b)(1) regarding 
the proposed amendment or, if a determination is made that the proposed 
amendment does not present a genuine issue as to whether public health 
and safety will be significantly affected, take immediate action on the 
proposed amendment in accordance with 10 CFR 72.46(b)(2) and provide 
notice of the action taken and an opportunity for interested persons to 
request a hearing on whether the action (conforming amendment) should 
be rescinded or modified.
    For further details with respect to this amendment, see the 
application dated July 19, 2004, which is publicly available in the 
records component of NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management 
System (ADAMS). The NRC maintains ADAMS, which provides text and image 
files of NRC's public documents. These documents may be accessed 
through the NRC's Public Electronic Reading Room on the Internet at

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 15th day of October 2004.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
