SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Summary 

The purpose of the Lunar Lander 

Challenge is to accelerate technology 

developments supporting the 

commercial creation of a vehicle 

capable of ferrying cargo or humans 

back and forth between lunar orbit and 

the lunar surface. Such a vehicle would 

have direct application to NASA’s space 

exploration goals as well as the personal 

spaceflight industry. Additionally, the 

prize will help industry build new 

vehicles and develop the operational 

capacity to operate quick turnaround 

vertical take-off, vertical landing 

vehicles, which will be of significant 

use to many facets of the commercial 

launch procurement market. 

II. Challenge Basis and Prize Amount 

To win the $2,000,000 purse, a rocketpropelled vehicle with an assigned 

payload must take-off vertically, climb 

to a defined altitude, fly for a predetermined amount of time, then land 

vertically on a target that is a fixed 

distance from the take-off point. After 

remaining at this location for a period 

of time, the vehicle must take-off, fly for 

the same amount of time, and land again 

on its original launch pad. 

III. Eligibility 

The Centennial Challenges Program 

has established the following language, 

including definitions, governing 

eligibility. CHALLENGE is the Lunar 

Lander Challenge. TEAM is defined as 

an individual, organization or 

corporation, or a group of individuals, 

organizations or corporations that 

register to participate in the 

CHALLENGE. TEAM is comprised of a 

TEAM LEADER and TEAM MEMBERs. 

For the sake of clarity, PARTICIPANT is 

a TEAM. 

TEAM LEADER is defined as a single 

individual, organization, or corporation, 

which is the sole agent representing a 

TEAM regarding its participation in the 

CHALLENGE. TEAM LEADERs who are 

individuals must be U.S. citizens. 

TEAM LEADERs that are organizations 

or corporations must be incorporated in 

the U.S. and majority-owned and 

controlled by U.S. citizens. Corporate or 

other organizational TEAM LEADERs 

must appoint an individual who is an 

officer of the corporation or organization 

to represent the TEAM LEADER. 

TEAM MEMBERs are defined as the 

participants on a TEAM that are not the 

TEAM LEADER. If a TEAM consists of 

a single individual, then in this case the 

TEAM MEMBER is also the TEAM 

LEADER. Individuals and corporate 

entities that are other than U.S. citizens 

or entities may be TEAM MEMBERs, 

subject to written request to and 

approval by XPF, and provided that the 

TEAM and all TEAM MEMBERs comply 

with all applicable laws, rules and 

regulations, including, without 

limitation, the International Traffic in 

Arms Regulations and the Export 

Administration Act. 

PARTICIPANTs are defined as TEAM, 

TEAM LEADER, and/or TEAM 

MEMBERs. Each TEAM MEMBER will 

apply to register for the CHALLENGE 

through TEAM LEADER and must 

receive written notification of official 

acceptance by XPF to be considered 

eligible. 

PARTICIPANT’s TEAM LEADER and 

each of its TEAM MEMBERs must 

execute an ‘‘Adoption of Agreement’’, in 

the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, 

committing to all terms of this 

AGREEMENT and a ‘‘Liability Waiver’’, 

in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. 

By signing below, TEAM LEADER of 

PARTICIPANT represents that all of 

PARTICIPANT’s TEAM MEMBERs have 

executed the Adoption of Agreement; no 

one may become a TEAM MEMBER or 

otherwise participate in the 

CHALLENGE until such time as they 

have signed an Adoption of Agreement. 

XPF may disqualify any TEAM that has 

any person acting as a TEAM MEMBER, 

or otherwise participating in the 

CHALLENGE, who has not signed an 

Adoption of Agreement. 

PARTICIPANT’s TEAM LEADER will 

provide XPF with a copy of the 

‘‘Adoption of Agreement’’ signed by 

each of PARTICIPANT’s TEAM 

MEMBERs. 

To be eligible to win a prize, in the 

case of a private entity, shall be 

incorporated in and maintain a primary 

place of business in the United States, 

and in the case of an individual, 

whether participating singly or in a 

group, shall be a citizen or permanent 

resident of the United States. 

Any U.S. government organization or 

organization principally or substantially 

funded by the Federal Government, 

including Federally Funded Research 

and Development Centers, governmentowned, contractor operated (GOCO) 

facilities, and University Affiliated 

Research Centers, are ineligible to be 

TEAM LEADERs or TEAM MEMBERs. 

U.S. government employees, and 

employees of Federally Funded 

Research and Development Centers, 

government-owned, contractor operated 

facilities, and University Affiliated 

Research Centers, may not participate in 

the CHALLENGE.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.106, the Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission (NRC) is 

providing notice of the issuance of Early 

Site Permit (ESP) ESP–002 to System 

Energy Resources Inc. (SERI, or the 

permit holder), for approval of a site 

located near Port Gibson, Mississippi, 

approximately 25 miles south of the city 

of Vicksburg, Mississippi, for one or 

more nuclear power reactors; this action 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
19218 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 73 / Tuesday, April 17, 2007 / Notices 

is separate from the filing of an 

application for a construction permit or 

combined license for such a facility. The 

NRC has found that the application for 

an ESP filed by SERI complies with the 

applicable requirements of the Atomic 

Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and 

the applicable rules and regulations of 

the Commission, and all required 

notifications to other agencies or bodies 

have been duly made. Based on 

consideration of the site criteria 

contained in 10 CFR Part 100, a reactor, 

or reactors, having design characteristics 

that fall within the site characteristics 

and controlling parameters of the Grand 

Gulf ESP Site can be constructed and 

operated without undue risk to the 

health and safety of the public. There is 

reasonable assurance that the permit 

holder will comply with the regulations 

in 10 CFR Chapter I, and the health and 

safety of the public will not be 

endangered. Issuance of an ESP to the 

permit holder will not be inimical to the 

common defense and security or the 

health and safety of the public. 

There is no significant impediment to 

the development of emergency plans, as 

referenced in 10 CFR 52.17(b)(1) and 10 

CFR 52.18. The descriptions of contacts 

and arrangements made with Federal, 

State, and local governmental agencies 

with emergency planning 

responsibilities, as referenced in 10 CFR 

52.17(b)(3), are acceptable. Major 

features A, B, C, D, E, F, G, I, J, K, L, 

O, and P of the emergency plan are 

acceptable to the extent specified in 

NUREG–1840, ‘‘Safety Evaluation 

Report for an Early Site Permit (ESP) at 

the Grand Gulf Site.’’ The issuance of 

this ESP is in accordance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969, as amended, and with applicable 

sections of 10 CFR Part 51 as referenced 

by Subpart A of 10 CFR Part 52, and all 

applicable requirements therein have 

been satisfied. The permit holder’s 

request for the proposed permit was 

previously noticed in the Federal 

Register on January 16, 2004, (69 FR 

2636), with a notice of hearing and 

opportunity to petition for leave to 

intervene. 

This ESP complies with the standards 

and requirements of the Atomic Energy 

Act of 1954, as amended, and NRC’s 

rules and regulations as set forth in 10 

CFR Chapter I and the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 

1969. Accordingly, this ESP was issued 

on April 5, 2007, and is effective 

immediately. 

II. Further Information

Evaluation Report (SER) and 

Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS), 

that document the information that was

accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the 

NRC’s ‘‘Rules of Practice,’’ details with
