NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No.: 070-00925]


Notice of Consideration of Amendment Request for Decommissioning 
the Cimarron Corporation Former Fuel Fabrication Facility in Crescent, 
Oklahoma, and Opportunity for a Hearing

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is considering issuance of a 
license amendment to Nuclear Material License No. SNM-928, issued to 
the Cimarron Corporation (the licensee), to authorize decommissioning 
of its facility previously used as a fuel fabrication facility.
    On April 19, 1995, the licensee submitted a site decommissioning 
plan (SDP) to NRC for review that summarized the decommissioning 
activities that will be undertaken to remove soils and rubble 
contaminated with radioactive material.
    NRC will require the licensee to remediate the Cimarron facility to 
meet NRC's decommissioning criteria, and during the decommissioning 
activities, to maintain effluents and doses within NRC requirements and 
as low as reasonably achievable.
    Prior to approving the SDP, NRC will have made findings required by 
the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and NRC's regulations. These 
findings will be documented in a Safety Evaluation Report and an 
Environmental Assessment Approval of the SDP will be documented in an 
amendment to License No. SNM-928.
    NRC hereby provides notice that this is a proceeding on an 
application for amendment of a license falling within the scope of 
Subpart L, ``Informal Hearing Procedures for Adjudication in Materials 
Licensing Proceedings,'' of NRC's rules and practice for domestic 
licensing proceedings in 10 CFR Part 2. Pursuant to Sec. 2.1205(a), any 
person whose interest may be affected by this proceeding may file a 
request for a hearing in accordance with Sec. 2.1205(c). A request for 
a hearing must be filed within thirty (30) days of the date of 
publication of this Federal Register notice.
    The request for a hearing must be filed with the Office of the 
Secretary, either:
    1. By delivery to the Docketing and Services Branch, Office of the 
Secretary at One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD 
20852-2738; or
    2. By mail or telegram addressed to the Secretary, U.S. Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001. Attention: Docketing 
and Services Branch.
    In addition to meeting other applicable requirements of 10 CFR Part 
2 of NRC's regulations, a request for a hearing filed by a person other 
than an applicant must describe in detail:
    1. The interest of the requester in the proceeding;
    2. How that interest may be affected by the results of the 
proceeding, including the reasons why the requestor should be permitted 
a hearing, with particular reference to the factors set out in 
Sec. 2.1205(g);
    3. The requester's areas of concern about the licensing activity 
that is the subject matter of the proceeding; and
    4. The circumstances establishing that the request for a hearing is 
timely in accordance with Sec. 2.1205(c).
    In accordance with 10 CFR 2.1205(e), each request for a hearing 
must also be served, by delivering it personally or by mail, to:
    1. The applicant, Cimarron Corporation, P.O. Box 25861, Oklahoma 
City, OK 73125 Attention: Mr. Jess Larsen; and

mail, addressed to the Office of the Secretary, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.
    For further details with respect to this action, the SDP is 
available for inspection at the NRC's Public Document Room, 2120 L
