SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

By letter dated November 16, 2020 

(ADAMS Package Accession No. 

ML20329A292), NextEra filed an 

application pursuant to part 54 of title 

10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 

(10 CFR) for subsequent renewal of the 

renewed operating licenses for Point 

Beach, which authorize each unit to 

operate at 1,800 megawatts thermal. The 

Point Beach units are pressurized-water 

reactors designed by Westinghouse 

Electric Company and are located near 

Manitowoc, Wisconsin. A notice of 

receipt of the subsequent license 

renewal application (SLRA) was 

published in the Federal Register (FR) 

on December 29, 2020 (85 FR 85685). 

By letter dated January 15, 2021 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML21006A417), 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 13 / Friday, January 22, 2021 / Notices 6685 

the NRC staff determined that NextEra 

has submitted sufficient information in 

accordance with 10 CFR 54.19, 54.21, 

54.22, 54.23, 51.45, 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 Nos. 50–266 and 

50–301 for Renewed Facility Operating 

License Nos. DPR–24 and DPR–27, 

respectively, will be retained. The 

determination to accept the SLRA for 

docketing does not constitute a 

determination that subsequent renewed 

operating licenses should be issued, and 

does not preclude the NRC staff from 

requesting additional information as the 

review proceeds. 

Before issuance of the requested 

subsequent renewed operating 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 a renewed license 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) time-limited aging analyses that 

have been identified as requiring 

review, such that there is reasonable 

assurance that the activities authorized 

by the renewed license will continue to 

be conducted in accordance with the 

current licensing basis and that any 

changes made to the plant’s current 

licensing basis 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 as a 

supplement to the Commission’s 

NUREG–1437, ‘‘Generic Environmental 

Impact Statement for License Renewal 

of Nuclear Power Plants,’’ dated June 

2013. In considering the SLRA, the 

Commission must find that the 

applicable requirements of subpart A of 

10 CFR part 51 have been satisfied, and 

that any 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 NRC 

staff intends to hold public scoping 

meetings. Detailed information 

regarding the environmental scoping 

meetings will be the subject of a 

separate Federal Register notice. 

II. 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 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 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 under 

the Act 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 

60 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 60 days from 

the date of publication of this notice. 

The petition must be filed in accordance 

with the filing instructions in the 

‘‘Electronic Submission (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, in 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. 

III. Electronic Submissions (E-Filing) 

All documents filed in NRC 

adjudicatory proceedings, including a 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
6686 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 13 / Friday, January 22, 2021 / Notices 

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’s website at https://www.nrc.gov/ 

site-help/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 request (1) a digital 

identification (ID) certificate, which 

allows the participant (or its 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 request 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 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. 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 a request for exemption 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. 

Information about subsequent license 

renewal can be found on the NRC’s 

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

operating/licensing/renewal/ 

subsequent-license-renewal.html. A 

copy of the application for subsequent 

renewal of the renewed operating 

licenses for Point Beach is available on 

the NRC’s website at https://

www.nrc.gov/docs/ML2032/ 

ML20329A292.html, while the 

application is under review. The 

application may be accessed in ADAMS 

through the NRC Library on the NRC’s 

website at https://www.nrc.gov/readingrm/adams.html under ADAMS Package 

Accession No. ML20329A292. Persons
