NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket Nos. 50–498 and 50–499] 

STP Nuclear Operating Company; 

Notice of Denial of Amendments to 

Facility Operating Licenses and 

Opportunity for Hearing 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC or the Commission) 

has denied a request by STP Nuclear 

Operating Company (licensee) for 

amendments to Facility Operating 

Licenses, which are numbered NPF–76 

and NPF–80, issued to the licensee for 

operation of the South Texas Project, 

Unit 1 and Unit 2, respectively, located 

in Matagorda County, Texas. 

Notice of Consideration of Issuance of 

these amendments was not published in 

the Federal Register. 

The licensee requested the 

amendments by letter dated February 

28, 2006. The purpose of the licensee’s 

amendment request was to revise the 

Technical Specifications to allow 

extension of the integrated leakage rate 

(Type A) test interval from 15 years to 

20 years, while adequately testing the 

impact of the aging degradation of the 

containment pressure boundary 

components. 

The NRC staff has concluded that the 

licensee’s request cannot be granted. 

The licensee was notified of the 

Commission’s denial of the proposed 

change by a letter dated May 29, 2007. 

By 30 days from the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register, the licensee may demand a 

hearing with respect to the denial 

described above. Any person whose 

interest may be affected by this 

proceeding may file a written petition 

for leave to intervene pursuant to the 

requirements of 10 CFR 2.309. 

A request for hearing or petition for 

leave to intervene must be filed with the 

Secretary of the Commission, U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 

Washington, DC 20555–0001. Attention: 

Rulemakings and Adjudications Staff, or 

may be delivered to the Commission’s 

Public Document Room (PDR), located 

at One White Flint North, Public File 

Area O1 F21, 11555 Rockville Pike (first 

floor), Rockville, Maryland, by the 

above date. Because of potential 

disruptions in delivery to mail to U.S. 

Government offices, it is requested that 

petitions for leave to intervene and 

requests for hearing be transmitted to 

the Secretary of the Commission either 

by means of facsimile transmission to 

301–415–1101 or by e-mail to 

hearingdocket@nrc.gov. A copy of any 

petitions should also be sent to the 

Office of the General Counsel, U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 

Washington, DC 20555–0001, and 

because of potential disruptions in 

delivery of mail to the U.S. Government 

offices, it is requested that copies be 

transmitted either by means of facsimile 

transmission to 301–415–3725 or by email to OGCMailCenter@nrc.gov. A copy 

of any petitions should also be sent to 

A. H. Gutterman, Esq., Morgan, Lewis, 

& Bockius, 1111 Pennsylvania Avenue, 

NW., Washington, DC 20004, attorney 

for the licensee. 

For further details with respect to this 

action, see (1) The application for 

amendment dated February 28, 2006, 

and (2) the Commission’s letter to the 

licensee dated May 29, 2007.

BILLING CODE 7590–01–P 

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

Biweekly Notice; Applications and 

Amendments to Facility Operating 

Licenses Involving No Significant 

Hazards Considerations 

I. Background 

Pursuant to section 189a.(2) of the 

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended 

(the Act), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (the Commission or NRC 

staff) is publishing this regular biweekly 

notice. The Act requires the 

Commission publish notice of any 

amendments issued, or proposed to be 

issued and grants the Commission the 

authority to issue and make 

immediately effective any amendment 

to an operating license upon a 

determination by the Commission that 

such amendment involves no significant 

hazards consideration, notwithstanding 

the pendency before the Commission of 

a request for a hearing from any person. 

This biweekly notice includes all 

notices of amendments issued, or 

proposed to be issued from May 11, 

2007, to May 23, 2007. The last 

biweekly notice was published on May 

22, 2007 (72 FR 28717). 

Notice of Consideration of Issuance of 

Amendments to Facility Operating 

Licenses, Proposed No Significant 

Hazards Consideration Determination, 

and Opportunity for a Hearing 

The Commission has made a 

proposed determination that the 

following amendment requests involve 

no significant hazards consideration. 

Under the Commission’s regulations in 

10 CFR 50.92, this means that operation 

of the facility in accordance with the 

proposed amendment would not (1) 

involve a significant increase in the 

probability or consequences of an 

accident previously evaluated; or (2) 

create the possibility of a new or 

different kind of accident from any 

accident previously evaluated; or (3) 

involve a significant reduction in a 

margin of safety. The basis for this 

proposed determination for each 

amendment request is shown below. 

The Commission is seeking public 

comments on this proposed 

determination. Any comments received 

within 30 days after the date of 

publication of this notice will be 

considered in making any final 

determination. Within 60 days after the 

date of publication of this notice, the 

licensee may file a request for a hearing 

with respect to issuance of the 

amendment to the subject facility 

operating license and 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. 

Normally, the Commission will not 

issue the amendment until the 

expiration of 60 days after the date of 

publication of this notice. The 

Commission may issue the license 

amendment before expiration of the 60- 

day period provided that its final 

determination is that the amendment 

involves no significant hazards 

consideration. In addition, the 

Commission may issue the amendment 

prior to the expiration of the 30-day 

comment period should circumstances 

change during the 30-day comment 

period such that failure to act in a 

timely way would result, for example in 

derating or shutdown of the facility. 

Should the Commission take action 

prior to the expiration of either the 

comment period or the notice period, it 

will publish in the Federal Register a 

notice of issuance. Should the 

Commission make a final No Significant 

Hazards Consideration Determination, 

any hearing will take place after 

issuance. The Commission expects that 

the need to take this action will occur 

very infrequently. 

Written comments may be submitted 

by mail to the Chief, Rulemaking, 

Directives and Editing Branch, Division 

of Administrative Services, Office of 

Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission, Washington, DC 20555–

0001, and should cite the publication 

date and page number of this Federal 

Register notice. Written comments may 

also be delivered to Room 6D22, Two 

White Flint North, 11545 Rockville 

Pike, Rockville, Maryland, from 7:30 

a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Federal workdays. 

Copies of written comments received 

may be examined at the Commission’s 

Public Document Room (PDR), located 

at One White Flint North, Public File 

Area O1F21, 11555 Rockville Pike (first 

floor), Rockville, Maryland. The filing of 

requests for a hearing and petitions for 

leave to intervene is discussed below. 

Within 60 days after the date of 

publication of this notice, the licensee 

may file a request for a hearing with 

respect to issuance of the amendment to 

the subject facility operating license and 

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. Requests for a hearing and a 

petition for leave to intervene shall be 

filed in accordance with the 

Commission’s ‘‘Rules of Practice for 

Domestic Licensing Proceedings’’ in 10 

CFR part 2. Interested persons should 

consult a current copy of 10 CFR 2.309, 

which is available at the Commission’s 

PDR, located at One White Flint North, 

Public File Area 01F21, 11555 Rockville 

Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland. 

Publicly available records will be 

accessible from the Agencywide 

Documents Access and Management 

System’s (ADAMS) Public Electronic 

Reading Room on the Internet at the 

NRC Web site, http://www.nrc.gov/ 

reading-rm/doc-collections/cfr/. If a 

request for a hearing or petition for 

leave to intervene is filed within 60 

days, 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 will issue a 

notice of a hearing or an appropriate 

order. 

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
