II. Introduction 

The NRC is considering issuance of an 

amendment to Renewed Facility 

Operating License No. NPF–42, issued 

to Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating 

Corporation, for operation of the Wolf 

Creek Generating Station, Unit 1, 

located in Coffey County, Kansas. 

By letter dated August 31, 2023 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML23165A250), 

the NRC issued Amendment No. 237 to 

Renewed Facility Operating License No. 

NPF–42 for the Wolf Creek Generating 

Station, Unit 1. The amendment revised 

License Condition 2.C.(5), ‘‘Fire 

Protection (Section 9.5.1, SER [Safety 

Evaluation Report], Section 9.5.1.8, 

SSER [Supplement to SER] #5),’’ and the 

Updated Safety Analysis Report to allow 

the use of hard hat mounted portable 

lights as the primary emergency lighting 

means in certain fire areas for 

illuminating safe shutdown equipment, 

and access and egress routes to the 

equipment. By letter dated October 19, 

2023 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML23292A357), Wolf Creek Nuclear 

Operating Corporation requested 

correction of the NRC staff safety 

evaluation (SE) for Amendment No. 237. 

Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating 

Corporation stated that it could not 

implement the amendment as described 

in the SE, and requested modification of 

the implementation date for 

Amendment No. 237. By letter dated 

November 29, 2023 (ADAMS Accession 

No. ML23299A266), the NRC issued 

Amendment No. 238 to extend the 

implementation date for Amendment 

No. 237 to February 27, 2024, as 

requested. By letter dated January 18, 

2024 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML24018A248), Wolf Creek Nuclear 

Operating Corporation stated that 

additional time is necessary to 

implement Amendment No. 237, and 

requested modification of the 

implementation date from February 27, 

2024, to February 27, 2025. 

Before any issuance of the proposed 

license amendment, the NRC will need 

to make the findings required by the 

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended 

(the Act), and NRC’s regulations. 

The NRC has made a proposed 

determination that the license 

amendment request involves no 

significant hazards consideration 

(NSHC). Under the NRC’s regulations in 

section 50.92 of title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR), this 

means that operation of the facility in 

accordance with the proposed 

amendment would not (1) involve a 

significant increase in the probability or 

consequences of an accident previously 

evaluated; or (2) create the possibility of 

a new or different kind of accident from 

any accident previously evaluated; or 

(3) involve a significant reduction in a 

margin of safety. As required by 10 CFR 

50.91(a), the licensee has provided its 

analysis of the issue of NSHC, which is 

presented as follows: 

1. Does the proposed amendment involve 

a significant increase in the probability or 

consequences of an accident previously 

evaluated? 

Response: No. 

The proposed modification to provide an 

additional year for implementation for 

License Amendment Number 237 does not 

involve a significant increase in the 

probability or consequences of an accident 

previously evaluated. The existing Fire 

Protection Program will remain in effect 

during the modified implementation period. 

The current Fire Protection program and 

associated post-fire operator manual actions 

for a fire outside the control room will 

continue to remain feasible and reliable, 

demonstrating that the plant can be safely 

shutdown in the event of a fire. The use of 

the existing Fire Protection Program will not 

adversely affect the performance of operator 

manual actions in support of applicable 

procedures. 

Therefore, the proposed change does not 

involve a significant increase in the 

probability or consequences of an accident 

previously evaluated. 

2. Does the proposed amendment create 

the possibility of a new or different kind of 

accident from any accident previously 

evaluated? 

Response: No. 

The proposed modification to provide an 

additional year for implementation for 

License Amendment Number 237 does not 

create the possibility of a new or different 

kind of accident from any accident 

previously evaluated. The existing Fire 

Protection Program will remain in effect 

during the modified implementation period. 

Considering the current Fire Protection 

remains in place, no physical alteration of 

the plant will occur and does not result in 

the installation of any new or different kind 

of equipment. 

Therefore, the proposed change does not 

create the possibility of a new or different 

kind of accident from any accident 

previously evaluated. 

3. Does the proposed amendment involve 

a significant reduction in a margin of safety? 

Response: No. 

The proposed modification to provide an 

additional year for implementation for 

License Amendment Number 237 is not a 

reduction in a margin of safety. The existing 

Fire Protection 

Program will remain in effect during the 

modified implementation period and has an 

acceptable margin of safety and has been 

approved by the NRC. 

Therefore, the proposed change does not 

involve a significant reduction in a margin of 

safety. 

The NRC staff has reviewed the 

licensee’s analysis and, based on this 

review, it appears that the three 

standards of 10 CFR 50.92(c) are 

satisfied. Therefore, the NRC staff 

proposes to determine that the license 

amendment request involves NSHC. 

The NRC is seeking public comments 

on this proposed determination that the 

license amendment request involves 

NSHC. Any comments received within 

30 days after the date of publication of 

this notice will be considered in making 

any final determination. 

Normally, the Commission will not 

issue the amendment until the 

expiration of 60 days after the date of 

publication of this notice (the notice 

period). However, if circumstances 

change during the notice period, such 

that failure to act in a timely way would 

result, for example, in derating or 

shutdown of the facility, the 

Commission may issue the license 

amendment before the expiration of the 

notice period, provided that its final 

determination is that the amendment 

involves NSHC. The final determination 

will consider all public and State 

comments received. If the Commission 

takes action prior to the expiration of 

either the comment period or the notice 

period, it will publish in the Federal 

Register a notice of issuance. The 

Commission expects that the need to 

take this action will occur very 

infrequently. 

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). 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 18 / Friday, January 26, 2024 / Notices 5269 

If a hearing is requested and the 

Commission has not made a final 

determination on the issue of NSHC, the 

Commission will make a final 

determination on the issue of NSHC, 

which will serve to establish when the 

hearing is held. If the final 

determination is that the amendment 

request involves NSHC, the Commission 

may issue the amendment and make it 

immediately effective, notwithstanding 

the request for a hearing. Any hearing 

would take place after issuance of the 

amendment. If the final determination is 

that the amendment request involves a 

significant hazards consideration, then 

any hearing held would take place 

before the issuance of the amendment 

unless the Commission finds an 

imminent danger to the health or safety 

of the public, in which case it will issue 

an appropriate order or rule under 10 

CFR part 2. 

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) 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, see ADAMS 

Accession No. ML20340A053 (https://

adamswebsearch2.nrc.gov/webSearch2/

main.jsp?AccessionNumber=

ML20340A053) and on the NRC’s public 

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

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 NRCissued 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. 

For further details with respect to this 

action, see the application for license 

amendment dated January 18, 2024 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML24018A248).
