Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 39 / Tuesday, February 28, 2012 / Notices 12087 

*As outlined by the Commission in its decision 

in Sequoyah Fuels Corp. (Gore, Oklahoma Site), 

CLI–03–15, 58 NRC 349 (2003), section 11e(2) 

byproduct material is that material, as defined by 

AEA section 11e(2), 42 U.S.C. 2014e(2), that is ‘‘the 

tailings or wastes produced by the extraction or 

concentration of uranium or thorium from any ore 

processed primarily for its source material content.’’ 

This byproduct material category was created in 

1978 by the Uranium Mill Tailings and Reclamation 

Act to afford the NRC regulatory jurisdiction over 

mill tailings at active and inactive uranium milling 

sites. See Sequoyah Fuels, CLI–03–15, 58 NRC at 

353–54. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is issuing its final 

Revision 4 to NUREG–0800, ‘‘Standard 

Review Plan for the Review of Safety 

Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power 

Plants,’’ Standard Review Plan (SRP) 

Section 8.1 on ‘‘Electric Power— 

Introduction,’’ (Agencywide Documents 

Access and Management System 

(ADAMS) Accession No. 

ML113640121), and the Branch 

Technical Position (BTP) 8–8 (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML113640138). The NRC 

staff issues revisions to SRP sections to 

facilitate timely implementation of the 

current staff guidance and to facilitate 

reviews to amendments to licenses for 

operating reactors or for activities 

associated with review of applications 

for early site permits and combined 

licenses for the Office of New Reactors. 

The NRC staff will also incorporate 

Revision 4 of SRP Section 8.1 into the 

next revisions of the Regulatory Guide 

1.206, ‘‘Combined License Applications 

for Nuclear Power Plants,’’ and related 

guidance documents. 

Disposition: On May 31, 2011 (76 FR 

31381), the NRC published for public 

comment the proposed Revision 4 on 

Section 8.1 on ‘‘Electric Power— 

Introduction,’’ (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML111180542) and the companion BTP 

8–8 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML111180521). There were two 

comments received on the proposed 

revision (ADAMS Accession Nos. 

ML11172A125 and ML11180A204). 

These comments were incorporated as 

appropriate and the details of 

disposition of the stakeholder’s 

comments are available under (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML113640144). The 

Redline version that shows the 

difference between the proposed notice 

and current is also made public 

(ADAMS Accession No.ML113640140). 

Congressional Review Act: In 

accordance with the Congressional 

Review Act, the NRC has determined 

that this action is not a major rule and 

has verified this determination with the 

Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs of the Office of Management and 

Budget. 

ADDRESSES: The NRC maintains 

ADAMS, which provides text and image 

files of the NRC’s public documents.

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 40–9091–MLA; ASLBP No. 12– 

915–01–MLA–BD01] 

Atomic Safety and Licensing Board 

Panel; Strata Energy, Inc.; 

Memorandum and Order (Notice of 

Hearing) 

February 22, 2012. 

Before the Licensing Board: G. Paul 

Bollwerk, III, Chair, Dr. Richard F. Cole, Dr. 

Kenneth L. Mossman. 

This proceeding concerns the January 

4, 2011 application of Strata Energy, 

Inc., (SEI) for a combined source and 

Atomic Energy Act (AEA) section 11e(2) 

byproduct materials license pursuant to 

10 CFR part 40.* If issued, that license 

would authorize SEI to construct and 

operate an in situ recovery (ISR) 

uranium project at the Ross site in 

Crook County, Wyoming. In response to 

an October 27, 2011 notice of hearing 

and opportunity to petition for leave to 

intervene, see [SEI], Ross [ISR] Uranium 

Project, Crook County, WY; Notice of 

Materials License Application, 

Opportunity to Request a Hearing and to 

Petition for Leave to Intervene, and 

Commission Order Imposing Procedures 

for Document Access to Sensitive 

Unclassified Non-Safeguards 

Information for Contention Preparation, 

76 FR 41,308 (July 13, 2011), on October 

27, 2011, two public interest groups, the 

Natural Resources Defense Council and 

the Powder River Basin Resource 

Council (collectively Joint Intervenors), 

filed a timely request for hearing and 

petition for leave to intervene contesting 

the SEI ISR application. On November 

2, 2011, this three-member Atomic 

Safety and Licensing Board was 

established to preside over this 

proceeding. See [SEI]; Establishment of 

Atomic Safety and Licensing Board, 76 

FR 69,295 (Nov. 8, 2011). 

On December 20, 2011, the Board 

conducted a one-day initial prehearing 

conference, with counsel for SEI, the 

NRC staff, and the Joint Intervenors. 

During that prehearing conference, 

which was held in the Licensing Board 

Panel’s Rockville, Maryland hearing 

room, the Board heard oral 

presentations concerning Joint 

Intervenors’ standing to intervene and 

the admissibility of their five proffered 

environmental contentions. Thereafter, 

in a February 10, 2012 issuance, finding 

that each of the Joint Intervenors had 

established the requisite standing to 

intervene in this proceeding and that 

they had submitted four admissible 

contentions concerning the SEI 

application, the Board admitted Joint 

Intervenors as parties to this proceeding. 

See LBP–12–3, 75 NRC __ (Feb. 10, 

2012), appeals pending. 

In light of the foregoing, please take 

notice that a hearing will be conducted 

in this proceeding. The hearing will be 

governed by the informal hearing 

procedures set forth in 10 CFR part 2, 

Subparts C and L, 10 CFR 2.300–2.390, 

2.1200–2.1213. 

During the course of this proceeding, 

the Board may conduct an oral 

argument, as provided in 10 CFR 2.331; 

may hold additional prehearing 

conferences pursuant to 10 CFR 2.329; 

and may conduct evidentiary hearings 

in accordance with 10 CFR 2.327–2.328, 

2.1206–2.1208. The public is invited to 

attend any oral argument, prehearing 

conference, or evidentiary hearing.
