Atomic Safety and Licensing Board; Molycorp, Inc.; Site 
Decommissioning Plan; Notice of Hearing

September 29, 2000.
    This proceeding involves a proposed amendment by Molycorp, Inc. to 
its Source Materials License No. SMB-1393, to authorize a site 
decommissioning plan (SDP) for the Licensee's former processing 
facility in Washington, Pennsylvania. The proposal under review (a 
modification of a previously submitted proposal) represents Part 1 of 
the SDP. It was submitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on June 
30, 1999, and would authorize the decommissioning to unrestricted 
levels of a portion of the site. (Part 2 of the SDP, covering 
restricted decommissioning of the remainder of the site, was submitted 
to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on August 14, 2000, but an 
opportunity for hearing has not yet been noticed.)
    Notice is hereby given that, by Memorandum and Order dated 
September 28, 2000, LBP-00-25, 52 NRC __, the Presiding Officer has 
granted the request for a hearing submitted by Canton Township, 
Pennsylvania, with respect to Part 1 of the SDP. Parties to this 
proceeding are the Licensee, Molycorp, Inc.; Canton Township, 
Pennsylvania, Intervenor; and the Staff of the Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission.
    This proceeding will be conducted under the Commission's informal 
hearing procedures set forth in 10 CFR Part 2, Subpart L. In response 
to a Notice of Opportunity for Hearing, published at 64 FR 62227

request. Administrative Judge Charles Bechhoefer has been designated

preparing a suitable record for review. 65 FR 3258 (January 20, 2000).
    During the course of this proceeding, the Presiding Officer, 
pursuant to 10 CFR 2.1211(a), will entertain limited appearance 
statements from any member of the public who is not a party to the 
proceeding, for the purpose of stating his or her views on the issues 
involved in this proceeding. Although these statements are not evidence 
and do not become part of the decisional record, they may assist the 
Presiding Officer and parties in their consideration of matters at 
issue in this proceeding. Limited appearance statements should be made 
in writing. If the Presiding Officer conducts an oral argument or in-
person prehearing conference, the Presiding Officer may, at his 
discretion, hear oral statements from members of the public, at a time 
and location yet to be determined. Written statements, and requests to 
make oral statements, should be submitted to the Office of the 
Secretary, Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555. A copy of such statement or request 
should also be served on the Presiding Officer, T-3 F23, U.S. Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555, or <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#35766d7707755b47561b525a43"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="2d6e756f1f6d435f4e034a425b">[email protected]</span></a>.
