Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 155 / Tuesday, August 12, 1997 / Notices 43191

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 2.714

which is available at the Commission’s

Public Document Room, the Gelman

Building, 2120 L Street, NW.,

Washington, DC, and at the local public

document room located at the Coastal

Region Library, 8619 W. Crystal Street,

Crystal River, Florida 34428. If a request

for a hearing or petition for leave to

intervene is filed by the above date, the

Commission or an Atomic Safety and

Licensing Board, designated by the

Commission or by the Chairman of the

Atomic Safety and Licensing Board

Panel, will rule on the request and/or

petition; and the Secretary or the

designated Atomic Safety and Licensing

Board will issue a notice of hearing or

an appropriate order.

As required by 10 CFR 2.714, a

petition for leave to intervene shall set

forth with particularity the interest of

the petitioner in the proceeding, and

how that interest may be affected by the

results of the proceeding. The petition

should specifically explain the reasons

why intervention should be permitted

with particular reference to the

following factors: (1) The nature of the

petitioner’s right under the Act to be

made a party to the proceeding; (2) the

nature and extent of the petitioner’s

property, financial, or other interest in

the proceeding; and (3) the possible

effect of any order which may be

entered in the proceeding on the

petitioner’s interest. The petition should

also identify the specific aspect(s) of the

subject matter of the proceeding as to

which petitioner wishes to intervene.

Any person who has filed a petition for

leave to intervene or who has been

admitted as a party may amend the

petition without requesting leave of the

Board up to 15 days prior to the first

prehearing conference scheduled in the

proceeding, but such an amended

petition must satisfy the specificity

requirements described above.

Not later than 15 days prior to the first

prehearing conference scheduled in the

proceeding, a petitioner shall file a

supplement to the petition to intervene

which must include a list of the

contentions which are sought to be

litigated in the matter. Each contention

must consist of a specific statement of

the issue of law or fact to be raised or

controverted. In addition, the petitioner

shall provide a brief explanation of the

bases of the contention and a concise

statement of the alleged facts or expert

opinion which support the contention

and on which the petitioner intends to

rely in proving the contention at the

hearing. The petitioner must also

provide references to those specific

sources and documents of which the

petitioner is aware and on which the

petitioner intends to rely to establish

those facts or expert opinion. Petitioner

must provide sufficient information to

show that a genuine dispute exists with

the applicant on a material issue of law

or fact. Contentions shall be limited to

matters within the scope of the

amendment under consideration. The

contention must be one which, if

proven, would entitle the petitioner to

relief. A petitioner who fails to file such

a supplement which satisfies these

requirements with respect to at least one

contention will not be permitted to

participate as a party.

Those permitted to intervene become

parties to the proceeding, subject to any

limitations in the order granting leave to

intervene, and have the opportunity to

participate fully in the conduct of the

hearing, including the opportunity to

present evidence and cross-examine

witnesses.

If the amendment is issued before the

expiration of the 30-day hearing period,

the Commission will make a final

determination on the issue of no

significant hazards consideration. If a

hearing is requested, the final

determination will serve to decide 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 held would take

place after issuance of the amendment.

If the final determination is that the

amendment request involves a

significant hazards consideration, any

hearing held would take place before

the issuance of any amendment.

A request for a hearing or a 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

may be delivered to the Commission’s

Public Document Room, the Gelman

Building, 2120 L Street, NW.,

Washington, DC, by the above date. A

copy of the petition should also be sent

to the Office of the General Counsel,

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,

Washington, DC 20555–0001, and to R.

Alexander Glenn, General Counsel,

Florida Power Corporation, MAC–A5A,

P.O. Box 14042, St. Petersburg, Florida

33733–4042, attorney for the licensee.

Nontimely filings of petitions for

leave to intervene, amended petitions,

supplemental petitions and/or requests

for hearing will not be entertained

absent a determination by the

Commission, the presiding officer or the

presiding Atomic Safety and Licensing

Board that the petition and/or request

should be granted based upon a

balancing of the factors specified in 10

CFR 2.714(a)(1)(i)–(v) and 2.714(d).

action, see the application for

OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES

TRADE REPRESENTATIVE

Implementation of Tariff-Rate Quota for

Imports of Beef

AGENCY: Office of the United States

Trade Representative.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Office of the United

States Trade Representative (USTR) is

providing notice that USTR has

determined that Argentina, pursuant to

its request, is a participating country for

purposes of the export certification

program for imports of beef under the

tariff-rate quota.

DATES: The action is effective August 25,

1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Suzanne Early, Senior Policy Advisor

for Agricultural Affairs, Office of the

United States Trade Representative, 600

17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20508;

telephone: (202) 395–9615.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

United States maintains a tariff-rate

quota on imports of beef as part of its

implementation of the Marrakesh

Agreement Establishing the World Trade

Organization. The in-quota quantity of

that tariff-rate quota is allocated in part

among a number of countries. As part of

the administration of that tariff-rate

quota, USTR provided, in 15 CFR Part

2012, for the use of export certificates

with respect to imports of beef from

countries that have an allocation of the

in-quota quantity. The export

certificates apply only to those countries

that USTR determines are participating

countries for purposes of 15 CFR Part

2012.

On July 10, 1997, USTR received a

request and the necessary supporting

information from the government of

Argentina to be considered as a

participating country for purposes of the

export certification program when

Argentina becomes eligible to export

fresh, chilled or frozen beef to the

United States on August 25, 1997. See

61 FR 34385–34393 (June 26, 1997).

Accordingly, USTR has determined that,

effective August 25, 1997, Argentina is

a participating country for purposes of
