ACTION: Notice; request for comments. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the 

National Endowment for the Humanities 

(NEH) is seeking comment concerning a 

proposed revision to an existing 

information collection that it uses to 

solicit grant applications, recruit peer 

reviewers, and monitor the performance 

of recipients. 

DATES: Please submit comments by 

March 29, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: Submit comments to Mr. 

Timothy Carrigan, Chief Funding 

Opportunity Officer, Office of Grant 

Management, National Endowment for 

the Humanities: 400 Seventh Street SW,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Overview of This Information 

Collection 

Type of Review: Revision of an 

existing information collection. 

Title of Information Collection: 

Generic Clearance Authority for the 

National Endowment for the 

Humanities. 

Abstract: The National Endowment 

for the Humanities is seeking to renew 

its generic clearance authority. The 

generic clearance authority includes all 

NEH information collections, except 

one-time evaluations, questionnaires, 

and surveys. 

The proposed revision adjusts the 

overall burden estimate from 88,815 to 

296,433 hours. This estimate reflects the 

anticipated change in the number of 

respondents from 7,815 to 6,767 and the 

updated estimated time per response 

that more accurately reflects the hours 

required to complete a grant 

application. Previously, NEH estimated 

fifteen hours were needed to complete 

a grant application. Further study has 

increased the estimate to sixty hours per 

proposal. The burden estimate for 

associated forms and reporting 

requirements has not changed. 

OMB Number: 3136–0134. 

Affected Public: Applicants to NEH 

grant programs, reviewers of NEH grant 

applications, and NEH award recipients. 

Frequency of Collection: On occasion. 

Total Respondents: 6,767. 

Total Responses: 6,767. 

Estimated Time per Response: Varies 

according to type of information 

collection. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 

296,433. 

Request for Comments 

NEH will make comments submitted 

in response to this notice, including 

names and addresses where provided, a 

matter of public record. NEH will 

summarize the contents and include 

them in the request for OMB approval. 

We are requesting comments on all 

aspects of this clearance request, 

including (a) whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology.

Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, 

Units 1, 2, and 3; Independent Spent 

Fuel Storage Installation; 

Consideration of Approval of Transfer 

of Licenses 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Application for indirect transfer 

of license; opportunity to comment, 

request a hearing, and petition for leave 

to intervene. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) received and is 

considering approval of an indirect 

license transfer application filed by 

Arizona Public Service Company (APS) 

on December 2, 2020. The application 

seeks NRC approval of the indirect 

transfer of possession-only nonoperating interests in Renewed Facility 

Operating License Nos. NPF–41, NPF– 

51, and NPF–74 for Palo Verde Nuclear 

Generating Station (Palo Verde), Units 1, 

2, and 3, respectively, and the general 

license for the Palo Verde Independent 

Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) 

from Public Service Company of New 

Mexico (PNM) to Avangrid, Inc. 

(Avangrid), whereby PNM and its parent 

holding company would become 

indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of 

Avangrid. PNM currently owns a 10.2 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 16 / Wednesday, January 27, 2021 / Notices 7311 

percent tenant-in-common interest and 

holds possession-only rights in the NRC 

licenses. The proposed indirect license 

transfer would result from Avangrid 

acquiring PNM and its parent holding 

company as its subsidiaries, thereby 

owning 100 percent of the shares in 

PNM.

II. Introduction 

The NRC is considering the issuance 

of an order under § 50.80 and § 72.50 of 

title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR), approving the 

indirect transfer of Renewed Facility 

Operating License Nos. NPF–41, NPF– 

51, and NPF–74 for Palo Verde, Units 1, 

2, and 3, respectively, and the general 

license for the Palo Verde ISFSI. PNM 

currently owns a 10.2 percent tenant-incommon interest and holds possessiononly rights in the NRC licenses. The 

proposed indirect license transfer would 

result from Avangrid acquiring PNM 

and its parent holding company as its 

subsidiaries, thereby owning 100 

percent of the shares in PNM. 

According to the application, 

Avangrid is a New York corporation, 

and its shares are publicly traded on the 

New York Stock Exchange. 

Approximately 18.5 percent of the 

shares are widely held, with the vast 

majority of these shares held by 

institutional investors. Approximately 

81.5 percent of the shares are owned by 

Iberdrola, S.A. (Iberdrola), a Sociedad 

Ano ́nima organized under the laws of 

the Kingdom of Spain. Iberdrola’s shares 

are widely held and publicly traded on 

the Madrid Stock Exchange. It is one of 

the largest energy companies in the 

world with a market capitalization of 

$85 billion. Iberdrola is based in Spain. 

The only known government-controlled 

entities with interests in Iberdrola are 

the Qatar Investment Authority, which 

owns approximately 8.69 percent of 

Iberdrola, and Norges Bank (the central 

bank of Norway), which owns 

approximately 3.43 percent of Iberdrola. 

Neither the Qatar Investment Authority 

nor Norges Bank has control over 

Iberdrola or Avangrid or is represented 

on their boards. Iberdrola has ownership 

interests in six operating nuclear 

reactors in Spain, one of which it 

operates. 

With respect to Palo Verde, APS owns 

a 29.1 percent tenant-in-common 

interest and holds both operating and 

possession rights in the NRC licenses. 

Further, APS operates each of the Palo 

Verde units and the ISFSI pursuant to 

the operating rights granted to it under 

the license of each Palo Verde unit. The 

remaining tenant-in-common co-owners 

that hold possession-only rights in the 

NRC licenses are: Salt River Project 

Agricultural Improvement and Power 

District (17.49 percent); Southern 

California Edison Company (15.8 

percent); IIF US Holding 2 LP (15.8 

percent); Southern California Public 

Power Authority (5.91 percent); and Los 

Angeles Department of Water and Power 

(5.7 percent). The proposed transaction 

would not involve or implicate any 

change in PNM’s rights and obligations 

under any of the NRC licenses, nor 

would it implicate APS’s or any other 

possession-only co-owners’ rights and 

obligations under any of the NRC 

licenses. 

According to the application, the 

proposed indirect license transfer is 

acceptable because: (1) PNM will 

continue to have the requisite 

managerial, technical, and financial 

qualifications to continue its role as a 

Palo Verde licensee; (2) PNM will 

continue to provide reasonable 

assurance of funding for 

decommissioning Palo Verde; (3) the 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
7312 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 16 / Wednesday, January 27, 2021 / Notices 

terms of the Palo Verde licenses will not 

be affected; and (4) PNM has committed 

to adopting a Negation Action Plan in 

order to assure that the proposed 

indirect license transfer will not result 

in any impermissible foreign ownership, 

control, or domination. 

No physical changes or operational 

changes are being proposed in the 

application. 

The NRC’s regulations at 10 CFR 

50.80 and 10 CFR 72.50 state that no 

license for a utilization facility or ISFSI, 

or any right thereunder, shall be 

transferred, either voluntarily or 

involuntarily, directly or indirectly, 

through transfer of control of the 

license, unless the Commission gives its 

consent in writing. The Commission 

will approve an application for the 

indirect transfer of a license if the 

Commission determines that the 

proposed transaction will not affect the 

qualifications of the licensee to hold the 

license, and that the transfer is 

otherwise consistent with applicable 

provisions of law, regulations, and 

orders issued by the Commission. 

III. Opportunity To Request a Hearing 

and Petition for Leave To Intervene 

Within 20 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 Commission’s 

‘‘Agency Rules of Practice and 

Procedure’’ in 10 CFR part 2. Interested 

persons should consult a current copy 

of 10 CFR 2.309. The NRC’s regulations 

are accessible electronically from the 

NRC Library on the NRC’s website at 

https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doccollections/cfr/. 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. 

As required by 10 CFR 2.309(d) the 

petition should specifically explain the 

reasons why intervention should be 

permitted with particular reference to 

the following general requirements for 

standing: (1) The name, address, and 

telephone number of the petitioner; (2) 

the nature of the petitioner’s right to be 

made a party to the proceeding; (3) the 

nature and extent of the petitioner’s 

property, financial, or other interest in 

the proceeding; and (4) the possible 

effect of any decision or order which 

may be entered in the proceeding on the 

petitioner’s interest. 

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(f), 

the petition must also set forth the 

specific contentions that the petitioner 

seeks to have litigated in 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 petitioner 

must provide a brief explanation of the 

bases for the contention and a concise 

statement of the alleged facts or expert 

opinion that support the contention and 

on which the petitioner intends to rely 

in proving the contention at the hearing. 

The petitioner must also provide 

references to the specific sources and 

documents on which the petitioner 

intends to rely to support its position on 

the issue. The petition must include 

sufficient information to show that a 

genuine dispute exists with the 

applicant or licensee on a material issue 

of law or fact. Contentions must be 

limited to matters within the scope of 

the proceeding. The contention must be 

one which, if proven, would entitle the 

petitioner to relief. A petitioner who 

fails to satisfy the requirements at 10 

CFR 2.309(f) with respect to at least one 

contention will not be permitted to 

participate as a party. 

Those permitted to intervene become 

parties to the proceeding, subject to any 

limitations in the order granting leave to 

intervene. Parties have the opportunity 

to participate fully in the conduct of the 

hearing with respect to resolution of 

that party’s admitted contentions, 

including the opportunity to present 

evidence, consistent with the NRC’s 

regulations, policies, and procedures. 

Petitions must be filed no later than 

20 days from the date of publication of 

this notice. 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). The petition 

must be filed in accordance with the 

filing instructions in the ‘‘Electronic 

Submissions (E-Filing)’’ section of this 

document. 

A State, local governmental body, 

Federally recognized Indian Tribe, or 

agency thereof, may submit a petition to 

the Commission to participate as a party 

under 10 CFR 2.309(h)(1). The petition 

should state the nature and extent of the 

petitioner’s interest in the proceeding. 

The petition should be submitted to the 

Commission no later than 20 days from 

the date of publication of this notice. 

The petition must be filed in accordance 

with the filing instructions in the 

‘‘Electronic Submissions (E-Filing)’’ 

section of this document, and should 

meet the requirements for petitions set 

forth in this section, except that under 

10 CFR 2.309(h)(2) a State, local 

governmental body, or Federally 

recognized Indian Tribe, or agency 

thereof does not need to address the 

standing requirements in 10 CFR 

2.309(d) if the facility is located within 

its boundaries. Alternatively, a State, 

local governmental body, Federally 

recognized Indian Tribe, or agency 

thereof may participate as a non-party 

under 10 CFR 2.315(c). 

If a petition is submitted, any person 

who is not a party to the proceeding and 

is not affiliated with or represented by 

a party may, at the discretion of the 

presiding officer, be permitted to make 

a limited appearance pursuant to the 

provisions of 10 CFR 2.315(a). A person 

making a limited appearance may make 

an oral or written statement of his or her 

position on the issues but may not 

otherwise participate in the proceeding. 

A limited appearance may be made at 

any session of the hearing or at any 

prehearing conference, subject to the 

limits and conditions as may be 

imposed by the presiding officer. Details 

regarding the opportunity to make a 

limited appearance will be provided by 

the presiding officer if such sessions are 

scheduled. 

V. Electronic Submissions (E-Filing) 

All documents filed in NRC 

adjudicatory proceedings, including a 

request for hearing and petition for 

leave to intervene (petition), any motion 

or other document filed in the 

proceeding prior to the submission of a 

request for hearing or petition to 

intervene, and documents filed by 

interested governmental entities that 

request to participate under 10 CFR 

2.315(c), must be filed in accordance 

with the NRC’s E-Filing rule (72 FR 

49139; August 28, 2007, as amended at 

77 FR 46562, August 3, 2012). The EFiling process requires participants to 

submit and serve all adjudicatory 

documents over the internet, or in some 

cases to mail copies on electronic 

storage media. Detailed guidance on 

making electronic submissions may be 

found in the Guidance for Electronic 

Submissions to the NRC and on the NRC 

website at https://www.nrc.gov/sitehelp/e-submittals.html. Participants 

may not submit paper copies of their 

filings unless they seek an exemption in 

accordance with the procedures 

described below. 

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 

hearing.docket@nrc.gov, or by telephone 

at 301–415–1677, to (1) request a digital 

identification (ID) certificate, which 

allows the participant (or its counsel or 

representative) to digitally sign 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 16 / Wednesday, January 27, 2021 / Notices 7313 

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 its 

counsel or representative, already holds 

an NRC-issued digital ID certificate). 

Based upon this information, the 

Secretary will establish an electronic 

docket for the hearing in this 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 at https://

www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/ 

getting-started.html. Once a participant 

has obtained a digital ID certificate and 

a docket has been created, the 

participant can then submit 

adjudicatory documents. Submissions 

must be in Portable Document Format 

(PDF). Additional guidance on PDF 

submissions is available on the NRC’s 

public website at https://www.nrc.gov/ 

site-help/electronic-sub-ref-mat.html. A 

filing is considered complete at the time 

the documents are 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. Eastern Time on the due date. 

Upon receipt of a transmission, the EFiling system time-stamps the document 

and sends the submitter an email notice 

confirming receipt of the document. The 

E-Filing system also distributes an email 

notice 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 so that they can 

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 at https:// 

www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html, by email to 

MSHD.Resource@nrc.gov, or by a tollfree call at 1–866–672–7640. The NRC 

Electronic Filing Help Desk is available 

between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., Eastern 

Time, Monday through Friday, 

excluding government holidays. 

Participants who believe that they 

have a 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 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: 

Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff; or 

(2) courier, express mail, or expedited 

delivery service to the Office of the 

Secretary, 11555 Rockville Pike, 

Rockville, Maryland 20852, Attention: 

Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff. 

Participants filing adjudicatory 

documents in this manner are 

responsible for serving the document on 

all other participants. Filing is 

considered complete by first-class 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. A presiding officer, having 

granted an exemption request from 

using E-Filing, may require a participant 

or party to use E-Filing if the presiding 

officer subsequently determines that the 

reason for granting the exemption from 

use of E-Filing no longer exists. 

Documents submitted in adjudicatory 

proceedings will appear in the NRC’s 

electronic hearing docket which is 

available to the public at https://

adams.nrc.gov/ehd, unless excluded 

pursuant to an order of the Commission 

or the presiding officer. If you do not 

have an NRC-issued digital ID certificate 

as described above, 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. For example, in some 

instances, individuals provide home 

addresses in order to demonstrate 

proximity to a facility or site. 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. 

The Commission will issue a notice or 

order granting or denying a hearing 

request or intervention petition, 

designating the issues for any hearing 

that will be held, and designating the 

Presiding Officer. A notice granting a 

hearing will be published in the Federal 

Register and served on the parties to the 

hearing.
