• In-person observation testing (e.g., 

website or software usability tests). 

• Small discussion groups. 

• Focus Groups of customers, 

potential customers, delivery partners,

• Cognitive laboratory studies, such 

as those used to refine questions or

Feedback collected under this generic 

clearance provides useful information, 

but it does not yield data that can be 

generalized to the overall population. 

This type of generic clearance for 

qualitative information will not be used 

for quantitative information collections 

that are designed to yield reliably 

actionable results, such as monitoring 

trends over time or documenting 

program performance. Such data uses 

require more rigorous designs that 

address: the target population to which 

generalizations will be made, the 

sampling frame, the sample design 

(including stratification and clustering), 

the precision requirements or power 

calculations that justify the proposed 

sample size, the expected response rate, 

methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data 

collection, and any testing procedures 

that were or will be undertaken prior to 

fielding the study. Depending on the 

degree of influence the results are likely 

to have, such as collections may still be 

eligible for submission for other generic 

mechanisms that are designed to yield 

quantitative results. 

As a general matter, information 

collections under this request will not 

result in any new system of records 

containing privacy information and will 

not ask questions of a sensitive nature, 

such as sexual behavior and attitudes, 

religious beliefs, and other matters that 

are commonly considered private. 

Current Actions: New collection of 

information. 

Type of Review: New Collection. 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

Households, Businesses and 

Organizations, and State, Local, or 

Tribal Government. 

Total Estimated Annual Burden 

Hours: 1,250. 

Estimated Average Burden Hours per 

Respondent: 5 minutes. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion, 

per request. 

Total Estimated No. of Annual 

Responses: 15,000. 

The 1,250 annual burden hours 

requested are based on the number of 

collections the NTSB expects to conduct 

over the requested three-year period for 

this generic clearance. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden Cost: 

$0. 

Participation in this collection is 

voluntary, and there are no costs to 

respondents beyond the time spent 

participating in the surveys. 

Request for Comments: OMB is 

interested in comments that include: (1) 

whether the proposed collection is 

necessary for the NTSB to perform its 

mission; (2) the accuracy of the 

estimated burden; (3) ways for the NTSB 

to enhance the quality, usefulness, and 

clarity of the IC; and (4) ways to 

minimize burden without reducing the 

quality of the IC.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket Nos. 50–611 and 50–612; NRC– 

2023–0138] 

Kairos Power, LLC; Hermes 2 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Construction permit 

application; opportunity to request a 

hearing and petition for leave to 

intervene; order imposing procedures. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is providing notice 

that an uncontested hearing will be held 

on the Kairos Power, LLC (Kairos) 

construction permit application that 

proposes the construction of a test 

reactor facility, identified as ‘Hermes 2’, 

in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, at a time and 

place to be set in the future by the 

Commission or designated by the 

Atomic Safety and Licensing Board. 

This notice provides the public an 

opportunity to request a hearing and 

petition for leave to intervene (i.e., 

contested hearing) with respect to that 

application. The NRC staff is currently 

conducting a detailed technical review 

of the construction permit application. 

If the NRC issues a construction permit, 

the applicant, Kairos, would be 

authorized to construct its proposed test 

reactor facility in accordance with the 

provisions of the construction permit. 

Because the application contains 

Sensitive Unclassified Non-Safeguards 

Information (SUNSI), an order imposes 

procedures to obtain access to this type 

of information for contention 

preparation. 

DATES: A request for a hearing or 

petitions for leave to intervene must be 

filed by January 22, 2024. Any potential 

party as defined in section 2.4 of title 10 

of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 

CFR) who believes access to SUNSI is 

necessary to respond to this notice must 

request document access by December 

4, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

On July 14, 2023, Kairos Power LLC 

(Kairos) submitted, pursuant to 10 CFR 

part 50, ‘‘Domestic Licensing of 

Production and Utilization Facilities,’’ 

an application (ADAMS Package 

Accession No. ML23195A121) for a 

construction permit for the ‘Hermes 2’ 

test reactor facility (a ‘‘testing facility’’ 

as defined in 10 CFR 50.2), that would 

consist of two fluoride salt-cooled test 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
81440 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 224 / Wednesday, November 22, 2023 / Notices 

reactor units at the East Tennessee 

Technology Park in Oak Ridge, 

Tennessee. A notice of receipt and 

availability was published in the 

Federal Register on August 4, 2023 (88 

FR 51876). The NRC staff determined 

that Kairos submitted the application in 

accordance with 10 CFR 2.101(a)(5), and 

a notice of the acceptability of docketing 

of Kairos’s application was published in 

the Federal Register on September 15, 

2023 (88 FR 63632). The docket 

numbers established for this application 

are 50–611 and 50–612 for Units 1 and 

2, respectively. 

The NRC is considering issuance of a 

construction permit to Kairos that 

would authorize construction of the 

proposed Hermes 2 test reactor facility 

to be located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. 

The Hermes 2 facility would contain 

two fluoride-salt cooled, hightemperature test reactors using solid tristructural isotropic fuel in pebble form. 

Each test reactor would contain an 

intermediate heat transfer loop and 

share a common power generation 

system. 

II. Hearing 

Pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act of 

1954, as amended, 10 CFR part 2, 

‘‘Agency Rules of Practice and 

Procedure,’’ and part 50, notice is 

hereby given that an uncontested (i.e., 

mandatory) hearing will be held, at a 

time and place to be set in the future by 

the Commission or designated by the 

Atomic Safety and Licensing Board 

(Board). 

The hearing on the application for a 

construction permit filed by Kairos 

pursuant to 10 CFR part 50 will be 

conducted by a Board that will be 

designated by the Chief Judge of the 

Atomic Safety and Licensing Board 

Panel or will be conducted by the 

Commission. If the hearing is conducted 

by a Board, notice as to the membership 

of the Board will be published in the 

Federal Register at a later date. The 

NRC staff will complete a detailed 

technical review of the application and 

will document its findings in a safety 

evaluation. The Commission will refer a 

copy of the application to the Advisory 

Committee on Reactor Safeguards 

(ACRS) in accordance with 10 CFR 

50.58, ‘‘Hearings and Report of the 

Advisory Committee on Reactor 

Safeguards,’’ and the ACRS will report 

on those portions of the application that 

concern safety. The NRC staff will also 

complete an environmental review of 

the application and will document its 

findings in accordance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969 (NEPA), as amended, and the 

Commission’s regulations in 10 CFR 

part 51, ‘‘Environmental Protection 

Regulations for Domestic Licensing and 

Related Regulatory Functions.’’ The staff 

will prepare an environmental 

assessment that will be used to 

determine whether an environmental 

impact statement is necessary or a 

finding of no significant impact is 

warranted to satisfy the NRC’s NEPA 

obligations. 

III. Opportunity To Request a Hearing 

and Petition for Leave To Intervene 

Within 60 days after the date of 

publication of this notice, any person 

(petitioner) whose interest may be 

affected by this action may file a request 

for a hearing and petition for leave to 

intervene (petition) with respect to the 

action. Petitions shall be filed in 

accordance with the Commission’s 

‘‘Agency Rules of Practice and 

Procedure’’ in 10 CFR part 2. Interested 

persons should consult 10 CFR 2.309. If 

a petition is filed, the presiding officer 

will rule on the petition and, if 

appropriate, a notice of a hearing will be 

issued. 

Petitions must be filed no later than 

60 days from the date of publication of 

this notice in accordance with the filing 

instructions in the ‘‘Electronic 

Submissions (E-Filing)’’ section of this 

document. Petitions and motions for 

leave to file new or amended 

contentions that are filed after the 

deadline will not be entertained absent 

a determination by the presiding officer 

that the filing demonstrates good cause 

by satisfying the three factors in 10 CFR 

2.309(c)(1)(i) through (iii). 

A State, local governmental body, 

Federally recognized Indian Tribe, or 

designated agency thereof, may submit 

a petition to the Commission to 

participate as a party under 10 CFR 

2.309(h)(1) no later than 60 days from 

the date of publication of this notice. 

Alternatively, a State, local 

governmental body, Federally 

recognized Indian Tribe, or agency 

thereof may participate as a non-party 

under 10 CFR 2.315(c). 

For information about filing a petition 

and about participation by a person not 

a party under 10 CFR 2.315(c), see 

ADAMS Accession No. ML20340A053 

(https://adamswebsearch2.nrc.gov/ 

webSearch2/main.jsp?Accession

Number=ML20340A053) and on the 

NRC website at https://www.nrc.gov/ 

about-nrc/regulatory/adjudicatory/

hearing.html#participate. 

IV. Electronic Submissions (E-Filing) 

All documents filed in NRC 

adjudicatory proceedings, including 

documents filed by an interested State, 

local governmental body, Federally 

recognized Indian Tribe, or designated 

agency thereof that requests to 

participate under 10 CFR 2.315(c), must 

be filed in accordance with 10 CFR 

2.302. The E-Filing process requires 

participants to submit and serve all 

adjudicatory documents over the 

internet, or in some cases, to mail copies 

on electronic storage media, unless an 

exemption permitting an alternative 

filing method, as further discussed, is 

granted. Detailed guidance on electronic 

submissions is located in the ‘‘Guidance 

for Electronic Submissions to the NRC’’ 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML13031A056) 

and on the NRC’s public website at 

https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html. 

To comply with the procedural 

requirements of E-Filing, at least 10 

days prior to the filing deadline, the 

participant should contact the Office of 

the Secretary by email at 

Hearing.Docket@nrc.gov, or by 

telephone at 301–415–1677, to (1) 

request a digital identification (ID) 

certificate, which allows the participant 

(or its counsel or representative) to 

digitally sign submissions and access 

the E-Filing system for any proceeding 

in which it is participating; and (2) 

advise the Secretary that the participant 

will be submitting a petition or other 

adjudicatory document (even in 

instances in which the participant, or its 

counsel or representative, already holds 

an NRC-issued digital ID certificate). 

Based upon this information, the 

Secretary will establish an electronic 

docket for the proceeding if the 

Secretary has not already established an 

electronic docket. 

Information about applying for a 

digital ID certificate is available on the 

NRC’s public website at https://

www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/ 

getting-started.html. After a digital ID 

certificate is obtained and a docket 

created, the participant must submit 

adjudicatory documents in Portable 

Document Format. Guidance on 

submissions is available on the NRC’s 

public website at https://www.nrc.gov/ 

site-help/electronic-sub-ref-mat.html. A 

filing is considered complete at the time 

the document is submitted through the 

NRC’s E-Filing system. To be timely, an 

electronic filing must be submitted to 

the E-Filing system no later than 11:59 

p.m. ET on the due date. Upon receipt 

of a transmission, the E-Filing system 

time-stamps the document and sends 

the submitter an email confirming 

receipt of the document. The E-Filing 

system also distributes an email that 

provides access to the document to the 

NRC’s Office of the General Counsel and 

any others who have advised the Office 

of the Secretary that they wish to

1While a request for hearing or petition to 

intervene in this proceeding must comply with the 

filing requirements of the NRC’s ‘‘E-Filing Rule,’’ 

the initial request to access SUNSI under these 

procedures should be submitted as described in this 

paragraph. 

2Any motion for Protective Order or draft NonDisclosure Affidavit or Agreement for SUNSI must 

be filed with the presiding officer or the Chief 

Administrative Judge if the presiding officer has not 

yet been designated, within 30 days of the deadline 

for the receipt of the written access request. 

participate in the proceeding, so that the 

filer need not serve the document on 

those participants separately. Therefore, 

applicants and other participants (or 

their counsel or representative) must 

apply for and receive a digital ID 

certificate before adjudicatory 

documents are filed to obtain access to 

the documents via the E-Filing system. 

A person filing electronically using 

the NRC’s adjudicatory E-Filing system 

may seek assistance by contacting the 

NRC’s Electronic Filing Help Desk 

through the ‘‘Contact Us’’ link located 

on the NRC’s public website at https:// 

www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html, by email to 

MSHD.Resource@nrc.gov, or by a tollfree call at 1–866–672–7640. The NRC 

Electronic Filing Help Desk is available 

between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., ET, Monday 

through Friday, except Federal holidays. 

Participants who believe that they 

have good cause for not submitting 

documents electronically must file an 

exemption request, in accordance with 

10 CFR 2.302(g), with their initial paper 

filing stating why there is good cause for 

not filing electronically and requesting 

authorization to continue to submit 

documents in paper format. Such filings 

must be submitted in accordance with 

10 CFR 2.302(b)–(d). Participants filing 

adjudicatory documents in this manner 

are responsible for serving their 

documents on all other participants. 

Participants granted an exemption 

under 10 CFR 2.302(g)(2) must still meet 

the electronic formatting requirement in 

10 CFR 2.302(g)(1), unless the 

participant also seeks and is granted an 

exemption from 10 CFR 2.302(g)(1). 

Documents submitted in adjudicatory 

proceedings will appear in the NRC’s 

electronic hearing docket, which is 

publicly available at https://adams.nrc.

gov/ehd, unless excluded pursuant to an 

order of the presiding officer. If you do 

not have an NRC-issued digital ID 

certificate as previously described, click 

‘‘cancel’’ when the link requests 

certificates and you will be 

automatically directed to the NRC’s 

electronic hearing dockets where you 

will be able to access any publicly 

available documents in a particular 

hearing docket. Participants are 

requested not to include personal 

privacy information such as social 

security numbers, home addresses, or 

personal phone numbers in their filings 

unless an NRC regulation or other law 

requires submission of such 

information. With respect to 

copyrighted works, except for limited 

excerpts that serve the purpose of the 

adjudicatory filings and would 

constitute a Fair Use application, 

participants should not include 

copyrighted materials in their 

submission. 

Order Imposing Procedures for Access 

to Sensitive Unclassified NonSafeguards Information for Contention 

Preparation 

A. This Order contains instructions 

regarding how potential parties to this 

proceeding may request access to 

documents containing Sensitive 

Unclassified Non-Safeguards 

Information (SUNSI). 

B. Within 10 days after publication of 

this notice of hearing or opportunity for 

hearing, any potential party who 

believes access to SUNSI is necessary to 

respond to this notice may request 

access to SUNSI. A ‘‘potential party’’ is 

any person who intends to participate as 

a party by demonstrating standing and 

filing an admissible contention under 10 

CFR 2.309. Requests for access to SUNSI 

submitted later than 10 days after 

publication of this notice will not be 

considered absent a showing of good 

cause for the late filing, addressing why 

the request could not have been filed 

earlier. 

C. The requestor shall submit a letter 

requesting permission to access SUNSI 

to the Office of the Secretary, U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 

Washington, DC 20555–0001, Attention: 

Rulemakings and Adjudications Staff, 

and provide a copy to the Deputy 

General Counsel for Licensing, 

Hearings, and Enforcement, Office of the 

General Counsel, U.S. Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission, Washington, 

DC 20555–0001. The expedited delivery 

or courier mail address for both offices 

is: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 

11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, 

Maryland 20852. The email addresses 

for the Office of the Secretary and the 

Office of the General Counsel are 

Hearing.Docket@nrc.gov and 

RidsOgcMailCenter.Resource@nrc.gov, 

respectively.1 The request must include 

the following information: 

(1) A description of the licensing 

action with a citation to this Federal 

Register notice; 

(2) The name and address of the 

potential party and a description of the 

potential party’s particularized interest 

that could be harmed by the action 

identified in C.(1); and 

(3) The identity of the individual or 

entity requesting access to SUNSI and 

the requestor’s basis for the need for the 

information in order to meaningfully 

participate in this adjudicatory 

proceeding. In particular, the request 

must explain why publicly available 

versions of the information requested 

would not be sufficient to provide the 

basis and specificity for a proffered 

contention. 

D. Based on an evaluation of the 

information submitted under paragraph 

C, the NRC staff will determine within 

10 days of receipt of the request 

whether: 

(1) There is a reasonable basis to 

believe the petitioner is likely to 

establish standing to participate in this 

NRC proceeding; and 

(2) The requestor has established a 

legitimate need for access to SUNSI. 

E. If the NRC staff determines that the 

requestor satisfies both D.(1) and D.(2), 

the NRC staff will notify the requestor 

in writing that access to SUNSI has been 

granted. The written notification will 

contain instructions on how the 

requestor may obtain copies of the 

requested documents, and any other 

conditions that may apply to access to 

those documents. These conditions may 

include, but are not limited to, the 

signing of a Non-Disclosure Agreement 

or Affidavit, or Protective Order 2 setting 

forth terms and conditions to prevent 

the unauthorized or inadvertent 

disclosure of SUNSI by each individual 

who will be granted access to SUNSI. 

F. Filing of Contentions. Any 

contentions in these proceedings that 

are based upon the information received 

as a result of the request made for 

SUNSI must be filed by the requestor no 

later than 25 days after receipt of (or 

access to) that information. However, if 

more than 25 days remain between the 

petitioner’s receipt of (or access to) the 

information and the deadline for filing 

all other contentions (as established in 

the notice of hearing or opportunity for 

hearing), the petitioner may file its 

SUNSI contentions by that later 

deadline. 

G. Review of Denials of Access. 

(1) If the request for access to SUNSI 

is denied by the NRC staff after a 

determination on standing and requisite 

need, the NRC staff shall immediately 

notify the requestor in writing, briefly 

stating the reason or reasons for the 

denial. 

(2) The requestor may challenge the 

NRC staff’s adverse determination by 

filing a challenge within 5 days of 

receipt of that determination with: (a) 

the presiding officer designated in this 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
81442 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 224 / Wednesday, November 22, 2023 / Notices 

3Requestors should note that the filing 

requirements of the NRC’s E-Filing Rule (72 FR 

49139; August 28, 2007, as amended at 77 FR 

46562; August 3, 2012, 78 FR 34247, June 7, 2013) 

apply to appeals of NRC staff determinations 

(because they must be served on a presiding officer 

or the Commission, as applicable), but not to the 

initial SUNSI request submitted to the NRC staff 

under these procedures. 

proceeding; (b) if no presiding officer 

has been appointed, the Chief 

Administrative Judge, or if this 

individual is unavailable, another 

administrative judge, or an 

Administrative Law Judge with 

jurisdiction pursuant to 10 CFR 

2.318(a); or (c) if another officer has 

been designated to rule on information 

access issues, with that officer. 

(3) Further appeals of decisions under 

this paragraph must be made pursuant 

to 10 CFR 2.311. 

H. Review of Grants of Access. A 

party other than the requestor may 

challenge an NRC staff determination 

granting access to SUNSI whose release 

would harm that party’s interest 

independent of the proceeding. Such a 

challenge must be filed within 5 days of 

the notification by the NRC staff of its 

grant of access and must be filed with: 

(a) the presiding officer designated in 

this proceeding; (b) if no presiding 

officer has been appointed, the Chief 

Administrative Judge, or if this 

individual is unavailable, another 

administrative judge, or an 

Administrative Law Judge with 

jurisdiction pursuant to 10 CFR 

2.318(a); or (c) if another officer has 

been designated to rule on information 

access issues, with that officer. 

If challenges to the NRC staff 

determinations are filed, these 

procedures give way to the normal 

process for litigating disputes 

concerning access to information. The 

availability of interlocutory review by 

the Commission of orders ruling on 

such NRC staff determinations (whether 

granting or denying access) is governed 

by 10 CFR 2.311.3

I. The Commission expects that the 

NRC staff and presiding officers (and 

any other reviewing officers) will 

consider and resolve requests for access 

to SUNSI, and motions for protective 

orders, in a timely fashion in order to 

minimize any unnecessary delays in 

identifying those petitioners who have 

standing and who have propounded 

contentions meeting the specificity and 

basis requirements in 10 CFR part 2. 

The attachment to this Order 

summarizes the general target schedule 

for processing and resolving requests 

under these procedures. 

It is so ordered. 

Dated: November 17, 2023. 

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. 

Carrie M. Safford, 

Secretary of the Commission.
