II. Background 

Under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. chapter 35), the NRC recently 

submitted a request for renewal of an 

existing collection of information to 

OMB for review entitled, ‘‘10 CFR part 

81, ‘Standard Specification for the 

Granting of Patent Licenses.’’’ The NRC 

hereby informs potential respondents 

that an agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and that a person is not 

required to respond to, a collection of 

information unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

The NRC published a Federal 

Register notice with a 60-day comment 

period on this information collection on 

September 18, 2023, 88 FR 63981. 

1. The title of the information 

collection: Part 81 of title 10 of the Code 

of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), 

‘‘Standard Specification for the Granting 

of Patent Licenses.’’ 

2. OMB approval number: 3150–0121. 

3. Type of submission: Extension. 

4. The form number, if applicable: 

Not applicable. 

5. How often the collection is required 

or requested: Applications for licenses 

are submitted once. Other reports are 

submitted annually, or as other events 

require. 

6. Who will be required or asked to 

respond: Applicants for and holders of 

NRC licenses to NRC inventions. 

7. The estimated number of annual 

responses: 3.5. 

8. The estimated number of annual 

respondents: 10. 

9. The estimated number of hours 

needed annually to comply with the 

information collection requirement or 

request: 10; however, no applications 

are anticipated during the next 3 years. 

10. Abstract: As specified in 10 CFR 

part 81, the NRC may grant 

nonexclusive licenses or limited 

exclusive licenses to its patented 

inventions to responsible applicants. 

Applicants for licenses to NRC 

inventions are required to provide 

information which may provide the 

basis for granting the requested license. 

In addition, all license holders must 

submit periodic reports on efforts to 

bring the invention to a point of 

practical application and the extent to 

which they are making the benefits of 

the invention reasonably accessible to 

the public. Exclusive license holders 

must submit additional information if 

they seek to extend their licenses, issue 

sublicenses, or transfer the licenses. In 

addition, if requested, exclusive license 

holders must promptly supply to the 

United States Government copies of all 

pleadings and other papers filed in any 

patent infringement lawsuit, as well as 

evidence from proceedings relating to 

the licensed patent.

II. Notice of Consideration of Issuance 

of Amendments to Facility Operating 

Licenses and Combined Licenses and 

Proposed No Significant Hazards 

Consideration Determination 

For the facility-specific amendment 

requests shown in this notice, the 

Commission finds that the licensees’ 

analyses provided, consistent with 

section 50.91 of title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR) ‘‘Notice 

for public comment; State 

consultation,’’ are sufficient to support 

the proposed determinations that these 

amendment requests involve NSHC. 

Under the Commission’s regulations in 

10 CFR 50.92, operation of the facilities 

in accordance with the proposed 

amendments 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. 

The Commission is seeking public 

comments on these proposed 

determinations. Any comments received 

within 30 days after the date of 

publication of this notice will be 

considered in making any final 

determinations. 

Normally, the Commission will not 

issue the amendments until the 

expiration of 60 days after the date of 

publication of this notice. The 

Commission may issue any of these 

license amendments before expiration of 

the 60-day period provided that its final 

determination is that the amendment 

involves NSHC. In addition, the 

Commission may issue any of these 

amendments prior to the expiration of 

the 30-day comment period if 

circumstances change during the 30-day 

comment period such that failure to act 

in a timely way would result, for 

example in derating or shutdown of the 

facility. If the Commission takes action 

on any of these amendments prior to the 

expiration of either the comment period 

or the notice period, it will publish in 

the Federal Register a notice of 

issuance. If the Commission makes a 

final NSHC determination for any of 

these amendments, any hearing will 

take place after issuance. The 

Commission expects that the need to 

take action on any amendment before 60 

days have elapsed will occur very 

infrequently. 

A. 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 any of these actions may file 

a request for a hearing and petition for 

leave to intervene (petition) with respect 

to that 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 a current copy 

of 10 CFR 2.309. If a petition is filed, the 

Commission or a 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). 

If a hearing is requested, and the 

Commission has not made a final 

determination on the issue of no 

significant hazards consideration, the 

Commission will make a final 

determination on the issue of no 

significant hazards consideration, which 

will serve to establish when the hearing 

is held. If the final determination is that 

the amendment request involves no 

significant hazards consideration, the 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
4344 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 15 / Tuesday, January 23, 2024 / Notices 

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. 

B. 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. 

The following table provides the plant 

name, docket number, date of 

application, ADAMS accession number, 

and location in the application of the 

licensees’ proposed NSHC 

determinations. For further details with 

respect to these license amendment 

applications, see the applications for 

amendment, which are available for 

public inspection in ADAMS. For 

additional direction on accessing 

information related to this document,

Submitting Comments’’ section of this

III. Notices of Issuances of 

Amendments to Facility Operating 

Licenses and Combined Licenses 

During the period since publication of 

the last monthly notice, the Commission 

has issued the following amendments. 

The Commission has determined for 

each of these amendments that the 

application complies with the standards 

and requirements of the Atomic Energy 

Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and 

the Commission’s rules and regulations. 

The Commission has made appropriate 

findings as required by the Act and the 

Commission’s rules and regulations in 

10 CFR chapter I, which are set forth in 

the license amendment. 

A notice of consideration of issuance 

of amendment to facility operating 

license or combined license, as 

applicable, proposed NSHC 

determination, and opportunity for a 

hearing in connection with these 

actions, were published in the Federal 

Register as indicated in the safety 

evaluation for each amendment. 

Unless otherwise indicated, the 

Commission has determined that these 

amendments satisfy the criteria for 

categorical exclusion in accordance 

with 10 CFR 51.22. Therefore, pursuant 

to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental 

impact statement or environmental 

assessment need be prepared for these 

amendments. If the Commission has 

prepared an environmental assessment 

under the special circumstances 

provision in 10 CFR 51.22(b) and has 

made a determination based on that 

assessment, it is so indicated in the 

safety evaluation for the amendment. 

For further details with respect to 

each action, see the amendment and 

associated documents such as the 

Commission’s letter and safety 

evaluation, which may be obtained 

using the ADAMS accession numbers 

indicated in the following table. The 

safety evaluation will provide the 

ADAMS accession numbers for the 

application for amendment and the 

Federal Register citation for any 

environmental assessment. All of these 

items can be accessed as described in

IV. Notice of Issuances of Amendments 

to Facility Operating Licenses and 

Combined Licenses and Final 

Determination of No Significant 

Hazards Consideration and 

Opportunity for a Hearing (Exigent 

Circumstances or Emergency Situation) 

Since publication of the last monthly 

notice, the Commission has issued the 

following amendment. The Commission 

has determined for this amendment that 

the application for the amendment 

complies with the standards and 

requirements of the Atomic Energy Act 

of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the 

Commission’s rules and regulations. 

The Commission has made appropriate 

findings as required by the Act and the 

Commission’s rules and regulations in 

10 CFR chapter I, which are set forth in 

the license amendment. 

Because of exigent circumstances or 

emergency situation associated with the 

date the amendment was needed, there 

was not time for the Commission to 

publish, for public comment before 

issuance, its usual notice of 

consideration of issuance of 

amendment, proposed NSHC 

determination, and opportunity for a 

hearing. 

In circumstances where failure to act 

in a timely way would have resulted, for 

example, in derating or shutdown of a 

nuclear power plant or in prevention of 

either resumption of operation or of 

increase in power output up to the 

plant’s licensed power level (an 

emergency situation), the Commission 

may not have had an opportunity to 

provide for public comment on its 

NSHC determination. In such case, the 

license amendment has been issued 

without opportunity for comment prior 

to issuance. Nonetheless, the State has 

been consulted by telephone whenever 

possible. 

Under its regulations, the Commission 

may issue and make an amendment 

immediately effective, notwithstanding 

the pendency before it of a request for 

a hearing from any person, in advance 

of the holding and completion of any 

required hearing, where it has 

determined that NSHC is involved. 

For those amendments that involve an 

emergency situation, the Commission is

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE

Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed 

Rule Change To Amend a 

Representation Relating to the 

Grayscale Bitcoin Trust 

January 17, 2024. 

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) 1 of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

(‘‘Act’’) 2 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,3

notice is hereby given that, on January 

16, 2024, NYSE Arca, Inc. (‘‘NYSE 

Arca’’ or the ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the 

Securities and Exchange Commission 

(the ‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule 

change as described in Items I and II 

below, which Items have been prepared 

by the self-regulatory organization. The 

Commission is publishing this notice to 

solicit comments on the proposed rule 

change from interested persons. 

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Terms of Substance of 

the Proposed Rule Change 

The Exchange proposes to amend a 

representation relating to the Grayscale 

Bitcoin Trust (BTC) (the ‘‘Trust’’), shares 

of which are currently listed and traded 

on the Exchange pursuant to NYSE Arca 

Rule 8.201–E. The proposed rule change 

is available on the Exchange’s website at 

www.nyse.com, at the principal office of 

the Exchange, and at the Commission’s 

Public Reference Room. 

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

In its filing with the Commission, the 

self-regulatory organization included 

statements concerning the purpose of, 

and basis for, the proposed rule change 

and discussed any comments it received 

on the proposed rule change. The text 

of those statements may be examined at 

the places specified in Item IV below. 

The Exchange has prepared summaries, 

set forth in sections A, B, and C below, 

of the most significant parts of such 

statements. 

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and the 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

1. Purpose 

The Commission approved the listing 

and trading of shares of the Trust (the 

‘‘Shares’’) on the Exchange pursuant to 

NYSE Arca Rule 8.201–E on January 10, 

2024.4 NYSE Arca Rule 8.201–E governs 

the listing and trading of CommodityBased Trust Shares, which are securities 

issued by a trust that represent 

investors’ discrete identifiable and 

undivided beneficial ownership interest 

in the commodities deposited into the 

Trust. The Shares are issued by the 

Trust, a Delaware statutory trust 

organized on September 13, 2013.5

The purpose of this rule filing is to 

amend a representation set forth in the 

Exchange’s previous rule filing to list 

and trade Shares of the Trust.6

Amendment No. 2 represented that, in 

connection with the creation and 

redemption of Shares pursuant to Cash 

Orders, the term ‘‘Cash Account’’ would 

mean ‘‘the account maintained by the 

Transfer Agent in the name of Grayscale 

Securities, LLC, designated as ‘Special 

Account for the Exclusive Benefit of 

Customers of Grayscale Securities, LLC,’ 

for purposes of receiving cash from, and 

distributing cash to, Authorized 

Participants in connection with 

creations and redemptions pursuant to 

Cash Orders. For the avoidance of 

doubt, the Trust shall have no interest 

(beneficial, equitable or otherwise) in 

the Cash Account or any cash held 

therein.’’ 7

The Exchange proposes to amend this 

representation to redefine Cash Account 

to remove reference to Grayscale 

Securities, LLC, such that the term Cash 

Account means the account maintained 

by the Transfer Agent for purposes of 

receiving cash from, and distributing 

cash to, Authorized Participants in 

connection with creations and 

redemptions pursuant to Cash Orders. 

This proposed change is intended to 

clarify that the Commission has not 

approved Grayscale Securities, LLC or 

any other broker-dealer to own or 

operate the Cash Account used to 

transfer cash to the entity purchasing 

Bitcoin as part of the creation process or 

receive cash from the entity that buys or 

sells Bitcoin as part of the redemption 

process. The purchase and sale of 

Bitcoin as part of the creation and 

redemption process will be undertaken 

by an entity that is not registered as a 

broker-dealer. The Exchange believes 

that this proposed change would 

promote clarity and transparency with 

respect to the operation of the Cash 

Account, to the benefit of all market 

participants. 

Except for this change, all other 

representations in Amendment No. 2 

remain unchanged and will continue to 

constitute continuing listing 

requirements. In addition, the Trust will 

continue to comply with the terms of 

the Approval Order and the 

requirements of Rule 8.201–E. 

2. Statutory Basis 

The Exchange believes that the 

proposed rule change is consistent with 

Section 6(b) of the Act,8 in general, and 

furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) 

of the Act,9 in particular, in that it is 

designed to prevent fraudulent and 

manipulative acts and practices, to 

promote just and equitable principles of 

trade, to remove impediments to and 

perfect the mechanism of a free and 

open market and a national market 

system, and, in general, to protect 

investors and the public interest. 

The Exchange believes the proposed 

rule change is designed to remove 

impediments to and perfect the 

mechanism of a free and open market 

and, in general, to protect investors and 

the public interest because it would 

update a representation in Amendment
