SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Science and Technology 

Council (NSTC) Subcommittee on 

Scientific Integrity (the Subcommittee) 

was established in response to the 2023 

NSTC Framework for Federal Scientific 

Integrity Policy and Practice. The 

Subcommittee is supporting the 

development of scientific integrity 

policies at Federal departments and 

agencies and seeks public input on the 

development and implementation of 

these policies and associated procedures 

and practices. NSF, on behalf of the 

Federal agencies and departments 

participating in the Subcommittee, is 

organizing two virtual listening sessions 

to hear from members of the public. 

Perspectives gathered during the virtual 

listening sessions will inform: (1) 

Federal agencies’ finalization of 

Scientific Integrity Policies, in response 

to the Framework and its 

implementation memorandum from the 

Office of Science and Technology 

Policy; (2) Federal agency processes, 

procedures, and practices related to 

scientific integrity; and (3) other 

elements of Federal implementation of 

the Framework. 

Staff from the U.S. National Science 

Foundation will facilitate the listening 

sessions, which may be recorded for use 

by the Subcommittee and shared with 

agencies implementing a scientific 

integrity policy. Participation in a 

listening session will imply consent to 

capture participants’ names, voices, and 

likenesses. Anything said may be 

recorded and transcribed for use by the 

Subcommittee or federal agencies that 

receive the feedback. Moderators will 

manage the discussion and order of 

remarks. 

Individuals unable to attend the 

listening sessions or who would like to 

provide more detailed information may

II. Notice of Consideration of Issuance 

of Amendments to Facility Operating 

Licenses and Combined Licenses and 

Proposed No Significant Hazards 

Consideration Determination 

For the facility-specific amendment 

requests shown in this notice, the 

Commission finds that the licensees’ 

analyses provided, consistent with 

section 50.91 of title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR) ‘‘Notice 

for public comment; State 

consultation,’’ are sufficient to support 

the proposed determinations that these 

amendment requests involve NSHC. 

Under the Commission’s regulations in 

10 CFR 50.92, operation of the facilities 

in accordance with the proposed 

amendments 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 Commission is seeking public 

comments on these proposed 

determinations. Any comments received 

within 30 days after the date of 

publication of this notice will be 

considered in making any final 

determinations. 

Normally, the Commission will not 

issue the amendments until the 

expiration of 60 days after the date of 

publication of this notice. The 

Commission may issue any of these 

license amendments before expiration of 

the 60-day period provided that its final 

determination is that the amendment 

involves NSHC. In addition, the 

Commission may issue any of these 

amendments prior to the expiration of 

the 30-day comment period if 

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. If the Commission takes action 

on any of these amendments prior to the 

expiration of either the comment period 

or the notice period, it will publish in 

the Federal Register a notice of 

issuance. If the Commission makes a 

final NSHC determination for any of 

these amendments, any hearing will 

take place after issuance. The 

Commission expects that the need to 

take action on any amendment before 60 

days have elapsed will occur very 

infrequently. 

A. 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 any of these actions may file 

a request for a hearing and petition for 

leave to intervene (petition) with respect 

to that 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. 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. 

Petitions must be filed no later than 

60 days from the date of publication of 

this notice in accordance with the filing 

instructions in the ‘‘Electronic 

Submissions (E-Filing)’’ section of this 

document. 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). 

If a hearing is requested, and the 

Commission has not made a final 

determination on the issue of no 

significant hazards consideration, the 

Commission will make a final 

determination on the issue of no 

significant hazards consideration, which 

will serve to establish when the hearing 

is held. If the final determination is that 

the amendment request involves no 

significant hazards consideration, the 

Commission may issue the amendment 

and make it immediately effective, 

notwithstanding the request for a 

hearing. Any hearing would take place 

after issuance of the amendment. If the 

final determination is that the 

amendment request involves a 

significant hazards consideration, then 

any hearing held would take place 

before the issuance of the amendment 

unless the Commission finds an 

imminent danger to the health or safety 

of the public, in which case it will issue 

an appropriate order or rule under 10 

CFR part 2. 

A State, local governmental body, 

Federally recognized Indian Tribe, or 

designated agency thereof, may submit 

a petition to the Commission to 

participate as a party under 10 CFR 

2.309(h) no later than 60 days from the 

date of publication of this notice. 

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). 

For information about filing a petition 

and about participation by a person not 

a party under 10 CFR 2.315, see ADAMS 

Accession No. ML20340A053 (https://

adamswebsearch2.nrc.gov/webSearch2/

main.jsp?AccessionNumber=

ML20340A053) and on the NRC’s public 

website at https://www.nrc.gov/aboutnrc/regulatory/adjudicatory/ 

hearing.html#participate. 

B. Electronic Submissions (E-Filing) 

All documents filed in NRC 

adjudicatory proceedings, including 

documents filed by an interested State, 

local governmental body, Federally 

recognized Indian Tribe, or designated 

agency thereof that requests to 

participate under 10 CFR 2.315(c), must 

be filed in accordance with 10 CFR 

2.302. The E-Filing process requires 

participants to submit and serve all 

adjudicatory documents over the 

internet, or in some cases, to mail copies 

on electronic storage media, unless an 

exemption permitting an alternative 

filing method, as further discussed, is 

granted. Detailed guidance on electronic 

submissions is located in the ‘‘Guidance 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
60716 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 170 / Tuesday, September 5, 2023 / Notices 

for Electronic Submissions to the NRC’’ 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML13031A056) 

and on the NRC’s public website at 

https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html. 

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 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 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. After a digital ID 

certificate is obtained and a docket 

created, the participant must submit 

adjudicatory documents in Portable 

Document Format. Guidance on 

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. ET on the due date. Upon receipt 

of a transmission, the E-Filing system 

time-stamps the document and sends 

the submitter an email confirming 

receipt of the document. The E-Filing 

system also distributes an email 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 to 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., ET, Monday 

through Friday, except Federal holidays. 

Participants who believe that they 

have 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 in accordance with 

10 CFR 2.302(b)–(d). Participants filing 

adjudicatory documents in this manner 

are responsible for serving their 

documents on all other participants. 

Participants granted an exemption 

under 10 CFR 2.302(g)(2) must still meet 

the electronic formatting requirement in 

10 CFR 2.302(g)(1), unless the 

participant also seeks and is granted an 

exemption from 10 CFR 2.302(g)(1). 

Documents submitted in adjudicatory 

proceedings will appear in the NRC’s 

electronic hearing docket, which is 

publicly available at https://

adams.nrc.gov/ehd, unless excluded 

pursuant to an order of the presiding 

officer. If you do not have an NRCissued digital ID certificate as 

previously described, click ‘‘cancel’’ 

when the link requests certificates and 

you will be automatically directed to the 

NRC’s electronic hearing dockets 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. 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 should not include 

copyrighted materials in their 

submission. 

The following table provides the plant 

name, docket number, date of 

application, ADAMS accession number, 

and location in the application of the 

licensees’ proposed NSHC 

determinations. For further details with 

respect to these license amendment 

applications, see the applications for 

amendment, which are available for 

public inspection in ADAMS. For

LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUESTS—Continued 

Brief Description of Amendment(s) .......................................................... The license amendment request proposes to certain technical specifications (TSs) to align with those in Revision 5 of NUREG–1431, 

‘‘Standard Technical Specifications—Westinghouse Plants.’’ Specifically, the proposed amendment will modify TS Surveillance Requirement (SR) 4.6.1.1 to eliminate the requirement to perform periodic 

position verification for containment penetrations that are maintained 

locked, sealed, or otherwise secured closed, as well as adopt TS 

Task Force (TSTF) Improved Standard TS (ISTS) Change Traveler 

No. 45 (TSTF–45–A), Revision 2, ‘‘Exempt Verification of Containment Isolation Valves that are Not Locked, Sealed, or Otherwise Secured.’’ The proposed amendment will also revise Shearon Harris 

Nuclear Plant TS 3.3.3.5 to increase the completion time for inoperable Remote Shutdown System components to a time that is more 

consistent with their safety significance and remove the requirement 

to submit a Special Report. The proposed amendment will also relocate the content in Table 3.3–9 and Table 4.3–6 in accordance with 

TSTF–266–A, Revision 3, ‘‘Eliminate the Remote Shutdown System 

Table of Instrumentation and Controls.’’ The proposed amendment 

will update SR 4.3.1.1, Table 4.3–1 to address the application of the 

Surveillance Frequency Control Program (SFCP) to establish the 

Frequency for performance of the Analog Channel Operational Test 

of select Reactor Trip System instrumentation. Additionally, changes 

are also proposed to the Administrative Controls Section of the TS to 

reflect current organizational titles as well as remove reporting requirements that are redundant to existing regulations.

During the period since publication of 

the last monthly notice, the Commission 

has issued the following amendments. 

The Commission has determined for 

each of these amendments that the 

application complies with the standards 

and requirements of the Atomic Energy 

Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and 

the Commission’s rules and regulations. 

The Commission has made appropriate 

findings as required by the Act and the 

Commission’s rules and regulations in 

10 CFR chapter I, which are set forth in 

the license amendment. 

A notice of consideration of issuance 

of amendment to facility operating 

license or combined license, as 

applicable, proposed NSHC 

determination, and opportunity for a 

hearing in connection with these 

actions, was published in the Federal 

Register as indicated in the safety 

evaluation for each amendment. 

Unless otherwise indicated, the 

Commission has determined that these 

amendments satisfy the criteria for 

categorical exclusion in accordance 

with 10 CFR 51.22. Therefore, pursuant 

to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental 

impact statement or environmental 

assessment need be prepared for these 

amendments. If the Commission has 

prepared an environmental assessment 

under the special circumstances 

provision in 10 CFR 51.22(b) and has 

made a determination based on that 

assessment, it is so indicated in the 

safety evaluation for the amendment. 

For further details with respect to 

each action, see the amendment and 

associated documents such as the 

Commission’s letter and safety 

evaluation, which may be obtained 

using the ADAMS accession numbers 

indicated in the following table. The
