Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 5 / Wednesday, January 8, 1997 / Notices 1137

The Director, Office of Enforcement,

may relax or rescind, in writing, any of

the above conditions upon

demonstration by Mr. Owen of good

cause.

VI

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.202, Mr.

Owen must, and any other person

adversely affected by this Order may,

submit an answer to this Order, and

may request a hearing on this Order,

within 20 days of the date of this Order.

Where good cause is shown,

consideration will be given to extending

the time to request a hearing. A request

for extension of time must be made in

writing to the Director, Office of

Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission Washington, D.C. 20555,

and include a statement of good cause

for the extension. The answer may

consent to this Order. Unless the answer

consents to this Order, the answer shall,

in writing and under oath or

affirmation, specifically admit or deny

each allegation or charge made in this

Order and shall set forth the matters of

fact and law on which Mr. Owen or

other person adversely affected relies

and the reasons as to why the Order

should not have been issued. Any

answer or request for a hearing shall be

submitted to the Secretary, U.S. Nuclear

Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Chief,

Docketing and Service Section,

Washington, D.C. 20555. Copies also

shall be sent to the Director, Office of

Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555,

to the Assistant General Counsel for

Hearings and Enforcement at the same

address, and to the Regional

Administrator, NRC Region II, 101

Marietta Street, NW, Suite 2900,

Atlanta, Georgia 30323 and to Mr. Owen

if the answer or hearing request is by a

person other than Mr. Owen. If a person

other than Mr. Owen requests a hearing,

that person shall set forth with

particularity the manner in which his

interest is adversely affected by this

Order and shall address the criteria set

forth in 10 CFR 2.714(d).

If a hearing is requested by Mr. Owen

or a person whose interest is adversely

affected, the Commission will issue an

Order designating the time and place of

any hearing. If a hearing is held, the

issue to be considered at such hearing

shall be whether this Order should be

sustained.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.202(c)(2)(i), Mr.

Owen may, in addition to demanding a

hearing, at the time the answer is filed

or sooner, move the presiding officer to

set aside the immediate effectiveness of

the Order on the ground that the Order,

including the need for immediate

effectiveness, is not based on adequate

evidence but on mere suspicion,

unfounded allegations, or error.

In the absence of any request for

hearing, or written approval of an

extension of time in which to request a

hearing, the provisions specified in

Section V above shall be final 20 days

from the date of this Order without

further order or proceedings. If an

extension of time for requesting a

hearing has been approved, the

provisions specified in Section V shall

be final when the extension expires if a

hearing request has not been received.

An answer or a request for hearing shall

not stay the immediate effectiveness of

this order.

Dated at Rockville, Maryland this 2nd day

of January 1997.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Deputy Executive Director for Nuclear Reactor

Regulation, Research, and Regional

This is a notice to inform the public

that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission is considering issuance of

an amendment to Source Material

License No. SUB–1010, issued to

Sequoyah Fuels Corporation, at the

Sequoyah Facility, Gore, Oklahoma. The

licensee requested the amendment in a

letter dated November 18, 1996, to

remove the special process

commitments contained in Chapter 6.

These commitments are generally

requirements for support system

operation during processing. Because

processing is prohibited, system

operation is not required.

The NRC hereby provides notice that

this is a proceeding on an application

for a license amendment falling within

the scope of Subpart L, ‘‘Informal

Hearing Procedures for Adjudications in

Materials Licensing Proceedings, of the

NRC’s rules of practice for domestic

licensing proceedings in 10 CFR Part 2’’

(54 FR 8269). Pursuant to § 2.1205(a),

any person whose interest may be

affected by this proceeding may file a

request for a hearing in accordance with

§ 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

Service Branch of the 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 Service

Branch.

In addition to meeting other

applicable requirements of 10 CFR Part

2 of the 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 requester

should be permitted a hearing, with

particular reference to the factors set out

in § 2.1205(g);

(3) The requestor’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 § 2.1205(c).

Each request for a hearing must also

be served, by delivering it personally or

by mail, to:

(1) The applicant, Sequoyah Fuels

Corporation, to the attention of Mr. John

H. Ellis, President, P.O. Box 610, Gore,

OK 74435; and

(2) The NRC staff, by delivery to the

Executive Director for Operations, One

White Flint North, 11555 Rockville

Pike, Rockville, MD 20852–2738, or by

mail addressed to the Executive Director

for Operations, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission, Washington, DC 20555–

0001.

Amendment to Facility Operating

License

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (the Commission) has

granted the request of the Tennessee

withdraw its May 19, 1995, application

for proposed amendment to Facility

Operating License Nos. DPR–77 and

DPR–79 for Sequoyah Nuclear Plant

Units 1 and 2, located in Soddy Daisy,

Tennessee.

The proposed amendment would

have revised Technical Specification

surveillance requirement 4.1.1.3 to

conditionally exempt the end-of-life

measurement of moderator temperature

coefficient.

The Commission had previously

issued a Notice of Consideration of

Issuance of Amendment published in

the Federal Register on June 21, 1995

(60 FR 32372). However, the licensee

made a decision to withdraw the

proposed change on December 17, 1996

on the basis that the change is no longer

required. This notice is to document

withdrawal of the subject amendment

request.

For further details with respect to this

action, see the application for

amendment dated May 19, 1995.

The above document is available for

public inspection at the Commission’s

Public Document Room, the Gelman

used by the staff in evaluating specific

problems or postulated accidents, and

data needed by the staff in its review of

applications for permits and licenses.

Regulatory Guide 10.12, ‘‘Preparation

of Petitions for Rulemaking Under 10

CFR 2.802 and Preparation and

Submission of Proposals for Regulatory

Guidance Documents,’’ provides

guidance to persons who submit

petitions for rulemaking to the NRC

concerning the type and quantity of

information that would allow the NRC

to process the petition in an expeditious

manner. This guide also provides the

procedures for submitting proposals to

change existing regulatory guidance

documents.

Comments and suggestions in

connection with items for inclusion in

guides currently being developed or

improvements in all published guides

are encouraged at any time. Written

comments may be submitted to the
