Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 130 / Monday, July 9, 2007 / Notices 37267 

No physical changes to the RBS 

facility or operational changes are being 

proposed in the application. 

The proposed amendment would 

replace references to Entergy Gulf 

States, Inc., in the license with 

references to Entergy Gulf States 

Louisiana, L.L.C., to reflect the proposed 

transfer. 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.80, no license, 

or any right thereunder, shall be 

transferred, directly or indirectly, 

through transfer of control of the 

license, unless the Commission shall 

give its consent in writing. The 

Commission will approve an 

application for the direct transfer of a 

license, if the Commission determines 

that the proposed transferee is qualified 

to hold the license, and that the transfer 

is otherwise consistent with applicable 

provisions of law, regulations, and 

orders issued by the Commission 

pursuant thereto. 

Before issuance of the proposed 

conforming license amendment, the 

Commission will have made findings 

required by the Atomic Energy Act of 

1954, as amended (the Act), and the 

Commission’s regulations. 

As provided in 10 CFR 2.1315, unless 

otherwise determined by the 

Commission with regard to a specific 

application, the Commission has 

determined that any amendment to the 

license of a utilization facility which 

does no more than conform the license 

to reflect the transfer action involves no 

significant hazards consideration. No 

contrary determination has been made 

with respect to this specific license 

amendment application. In light of the 

generic determination reflected in 10 

CFR 2.1315, no public comments with 

respect to significant hazards 

considerations are being solicited, 

notwithstanding the general comment 

procedures contained in 10 CFR 50.91. 

The filing of requests for hearing and 

petitions for leave to intervene, and 

written comments with regard to the 

license transfer application, are 

discussed below. 

Within 20 days from the date of 

publication of this notice, any person 

whose interest may be affected by the 

Commission’s action on the application 

may request a hearing and, if not the 

applicant, may petition for leave to 

intervene in a hearing proceeding on the 

Commission’s action. Requests for a 

hearing and petitions for leave to 

intervene should be filed in accordance 

with the Commission’s rules of practice 

set forth in Subpart C ‘‘Rules of General 

Applicability: Hearing Requests, 

Petitions to Intervene, Availability of 

Documents, Selection of Specific 

Hearing Procedures, Presiding Officer 

Powers, and General Hearing 

Management for NRC Adjudicatory 

Hearings,’’ of 10 CFR Part 2. In 

particular, such requests and petitions 

must comply with the requirements set 

forth in 10 CFR 2.309. Untimely 

requests and petitions may be denied, as 

provided in 10 CFR 2.309(c)(1), unless 

good cause for failure to file on time is 

established. In addition, an untimely 

request or petition should address the 

factors that the Commission will also 

consider, in reviewing untimely 

requests or petitions, set forth in 10 CFR 

2.309(c)(1)(i)–(viii). 

Requests for a hearing and petitions 

for leave to intervene should be served 

upon Terence A. Burke, Associate 

General Counsel—Nuclear, Entergy 

Services, Inc., 1340 Echelon Parkway, 

Jackson MS 39213; the General Counsel, 

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 

Washington, DC 20555–0001 (e-mail 

address for filings regarding license 

transfer cases only: OGCLT@NRC.gov); 

and the Secretary of the Commission, 

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 

Washington, DC 20555–0001, Attention: 

Rulemakings and Adjudications Staff, in 

accordance with 10 CFR 2.302 and 

2.305. 

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. 

As an alternative to requests for 

hearing and petitions to intervene, 

within 30 days from the date of 

publication of this notice, persons may 

submit written comments regarding the 

license transfer application, as provided 

for in 10 CFR 2.1305. The Commission 

will consider and, if appropriate, 

respond to these comments, but such 

comments will not otherwise constitute 

part of the decisional record. Comments 

should be submitted to the Secretary, 

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 

Washington, DC 20555–0001, Attention: 

Rulemakings and Adjudications Staff, 

and should cite the publication date and 

page number of this Federal Register 

notice.

BILLING CODE 7590–01–P 

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania: Draft 

NRC Staff Assessment of a Proposed 

Agreement Between the Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission and the 

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of a proposed Agreement 

with the Commonwealth of 

Pennsylvania. 

SUMMARY: By letter dated November 9, 

2006, Governor Edward G. Rendell of 

Pennsylvania requested that the U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC 

or Commission) enter into an Agreement 

with the Commonwealth as authorized 

by Section 274 of the Atomic Energy Act 

of 1954, as amended (Act). 

Under the proposed Agreement, the 

Commission would give up, and 

Pennsylvania would take over, portions 

of the Commission’s regulatory 

authority exercised within the 

Commonwealth. As required by the Act, 

the NRC is publishing the proposed 

Agreement for public comment. The 

NRC is also publishing the summary of 

an assessment by the NRC staff of the 

Pennsylvania regulatory program. 

Comments are requested on the 

proposed Agreement, especially its 

effect on public health and safety. 

Comments are also requested on the 

draft NRC staff assessment, the 

adequacy of the Pennsylvania program, 

and the Commonwealth’s program staff, 

as discussed in this notice. 

The proposed Agreement would 

release (exempt) persons who possess or 

use certain radioactive materials in 

Pennsylvania from portions of the 

Commission’s regulatory authority. The 

Act requires that the NRC publish those 

exemptions. Notice is hereby given that 

the pertinent exemptions have been 

previously published in the Federal 

Register and are codified in the 

Commission’s regulations as 10 CFR 

Part 150. 

DATES: The comment period expires July 

18, 2007. Comments received after this 

date will be considered if it is practical 

to do so, but the Commission cannot 

assure consideration of comments 

received after the expiration date. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be 

submitted to Mr. Michael T. Lesar, 

Chief, Rulemaking, Directives and 

Editing Branch, Division of 

Administrative Services, Office of 

Administration, Washington, DC 20555–

0001. Comments may be submitted 

electronically at nrcrep@nrc.gov. 

The NRC maintains an Agencywide 

Documents Access and Management 

System (ADAMS), which provides text 

and image files of NRC’s public 

documents. The documents may be 

accessed through the NRC’s Public 

Electronic Reading Room on the Internet 

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

adams.html. If you do not have access 

to ADAMS or if there are problems in 

accessing the documents located in 

ADAMS, contact the NRC Public 

Document Room (PDR) reference staff at 

(800) 397–4209, or (301) 415–4737, or 

by e-mail to pdr@nrc.gov. 

Copies of comments received by NRC 

may be examined at the NRC Public 

Document Room, 11555 Rockville Pike, 

Public File Area O–1–F21, Rockville, 

Maryland. Copies of the request for an 

Agreement by the Governor of 

Pennsylvania including all information 

and documentation submitted in 

support of the request, and copies of the 

full text of the NRC Draft Staff 

Assessment are also available for public 

inspection in the NRC’s Public

Andrew N. Mauer, Office of Federal and 

State Materials and Environmental 

Management Programs, U.S. Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission, Washington, 

DC 20555–0001. Telephone (301) 415–

3962 or e-mail to anm@nrc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Since 

Section 274 of the Atomic Energy Act of 

1954, as amended (Act) was added in 

1959, the Commission has entered into 

Agreements with 34 States. The 

Agreement States currently regulate 

approximately 17,600 Agreement 

material licenses, while the NRC 

regulates approximately 4,400 licenses. 

Under the proposed Agreement, 

approximately 690 NRC licenses will 

transfer to Pennsylvania. The NRC 

periodically reviews the performance of 

the Agreement States to assure 

compliance with the provisions of 

Section 274. 

Section 274e requires that the terms of 

the proposed Agreement be published 

in the Federal Register for public 

comment once each week for four 

consecutive weeks. This notice is being 

published in fulfillment of the 

requirement.
