II. Introduction 

The NRC is considering the issuance 

of an order under 10 CFR 50.80 and 10 

CFR 70.36 approving the direct transfer 

of control of NRC license numbers DPR– 

1, TR–1, R–33, DR–10, and SNM–960 

for the Vallecitos Nuclear Center that 

are currently held by GEHA. The 

licenses would be transferred to 

NorthStar Vallecitos. The NRC is also 

considering amending the licenses for 

administrative purposes to reflect the 

proposed transfer. 

Following approval of the proposed 

direct transfer of control of the licenses, 

NorthStar Vallecitos would acquire 

ownership of the Vallecitos Nuclear 

Center. No physical changes to the 

Vallecitos Nuclear Center are being 

proposed in the application. The 

application stated that, at the time of the 

transfer to NorthStar Vallecitos, none of 

the licenses will authorize reactor 

operation. Since NRC license number 

R–33 is currently authorized to operate, 

the application requested that the NRC 

condition any order authorizing the 

transfer such that the transfer may not 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
77114 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 215 / Wednesday, November 8, 2023 / Notices 

close before license number R–33 no 

longer authorizes reactor operation. 

The NRC’s regulations at 10 CFR 

50.80 and 10 CFR 70.36 state that no 

license, or any right thereunder, shall be 

transferred, 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 

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. 

Before issuance of the proposed 

conforming license amendments, 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. 

III. Opportunity To Comment 

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 as described in the 

ADDRESSES section of this document. 

IV. Opportunity To Request a Hearing 

and Petition for Leave To Intervene 

Within 20 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 10 CFR 2.309. If 

a petition is filed, the 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 

20 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). 

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 20 days from the 

date of publication of this notice. 

Alternatively, a State, local 

governmental body, federallyrecognized 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?Accession

Number=ML20340A053) and on the 

NRC’s public website at https://

www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/regulatory/ 

adjudicatory/hearing.html#participate. 

V. Electronic Submissions (E-Filing) 

All documents filed in NRC 

adjudicatory proceedings, including 

documents filed by an interested State, 

local governmental body, federallyrecognized 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 

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.

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 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. 

For further details with respect to this 

application, see the application dated 

September 1, 2023 (ADAMS Accession 

No. ML23244A247), as supplemented
