10. Abstract: The Debt Collection

Improvement Act of 1996 requires that

agencies collect taxpayer identification

numbers (TINs) from individuals who

do business with the Government,

including contractors and recipient of

credit, licenses, permits and benefits.

TINs will be used to process all

electronic payments (refunds) made to

licensees by electronic funds transfer by

the Department of the Treasury

(Treasury). Treasury will use TINs to

determine whether the refund can be

used to administratively offset any

delinquent debts reported to the

Treasury by other government agencies.

In addition, TINs will be used to collect

and report to the Treasury any

delinquent indebtedness arising out of

the licensee’s or applicant’s relationship

with the NRC.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50–250 and 50–251]

Florida Power and Light Company

Turkey Point, Units 3 and 4; Notice of

Acceptance for Docketing of the

Application and Notice of Opportunity

for a Hearing Regarding Renewal of

License Nos. DPR–31 and DPR–41 for

an Additional Twenty-Year Period

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (the Commission) is

considering an application for the

renewal of Operating Licenses Nos.

DPR–31 and DPR–41 which authorize

Florida Power and Light Company (FPL)

to operate Turkey Point, Units 3 and 4

at 2300 megawatts thermal. The

renewed licenses would authorize the

applicant to operate Turkey Point, Units

3 and 4 for an additional 20 years

beyond the period specified in the

current licenses. The current operating

licenses for Turkey Point, Units 3 and

4 expire on July 19, 2012 and April 10,

2013, respectively.

FPL submitted an application to

renew the operating licenses for Turkey

Point, Units 3 and 4 on September 11,

2000. A Notice of Receipt of

Application, ‘‘Florida Power and Light

Company, Turkey Point, Units 3 and 4;

Notice of Receipt of Application for

Renewal of Facility Operating License

Nos. DPR–31 and DPR–41, for an

Additional Twenty-Year Period,’’ was

published in the Federal Register on

September 26, 2000 (65 FR 57847).

The Commission’s staff has

determined that FPL has submitted

information in accordance with 10 CFR

54.19, 54.21, 54.22, 54.23, and 51.53(c)

that is complete and acceptable for

docketing. The current Docket Nos. 50–

250 for Operating License No. DPR–31

and 50–251 for Operating License No.

DPR–41 will be retained. The docketing

of the renewal application does not

preclude requesting additional

information as the review proceeds, nor

does it predict whether the Commission

will grant or deny the application.

Before issuance of a requested license

renewal, the NRC will have made the

findings required by the Atomic Energy

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

the NRC’s rules and regulations. In

accordance with 10 CFR 54.29, the NRC

will issue a renewed license on the basis

of its review and findings that actions

have been identified and have been or

will be taken with respect to: (1)

Managing the effects of aging during the

period of extended operation on the

functionality of structures and

components that have been identified as

requiring aging management review;

60694 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 198 / Thursday, October 12, 2000 / Notices

and (2) time-limited aging analyses that

have been identified as requiring review

such that there is reasonable assurance

that the activities authorized by the

renewed license will continue to be

conducted in accordance with the

current licensing basis (CLB) and that

any changes made to the plant’s CLB

comply with the Act and the

Commission’s regulations.

Additionally, in accordance with 10

CFR 51.95(c), the NRC will prepare an

environmental impact statement that is

a supplement to the Commission’s

NUREG–1437, ‘‘Generic Environmental

Impact Statement for License Renewal

of Nuclear Power Plants’’ (May 1996).

Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.26, and as part

of the environmental scoping process,

the staff intends to hold a public

scoping meeting. Detailed information

regarding this meeting will be included

in a future Federal Register notice. The

Commission also intends to hold public

meetings to discuss the license renewal

process and the schedule for conducting

the review. The Commission will

provide prior notice of these meetings.

As discussed further herein, in the event

that a hearing is held, issues that may

be litigated will be confined to those

pertinent to the foregoing.

By November 13, 2000, the applicant

may file a request for a hearing, and any

person whose interest may be affected

by this proceeding and who wishes to

participate as a party in the proceeding

must file a written request for a hearing

and a petition for leave to intervene

with respect to the renewal of the

licenses in accordance with the

provisions of 10 CFR 2.714. Interested

persons should consult a current copy

of 10 CFR 2.714, which is available at

the Commission’s Public Document

Room, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor)

Rockville, Maryland, and on the NRC

website at http://www.nrc.gov (the

Electronic Reading Room). If a request

for a hearing or a petition for leave to

intervene is filed by the above date, the

Commission or an Atomic Safety and

Licensing Board designated by the

Commission or by the Chairman of the

Atomic Safety and Licensing Board

Panel will rule on the request(s) and/or

petition(s), and the Secretary or the

designated Atomic Safety and Licensing

Board will issue a notice of a hearing or

an appropriate order. In the event that

no request for a hearing or a petition for

leave to intervene is filed by the above

date, the NRC may, upon completion of

its evaluations and upon making the

findings required under 10 CFR Parts 54

and 51, renew the licenses without

further notice.

As required by 10 CFR 2.714, a

petition for leave to intervene shall set

forth with particularity the interest of

the petitioner in the proceeding and

how that interest may be affected by the

results of the proceeding, taking into

consideration the limited scope of

matters that may be considered

pursuant to 10 CFR parts 54 and 51. The

petition must specifically explain the

reasons why intervention should be

permitted with particular reference to

the following factors: (1) The nature of

the petitioner’s right under the Act to be

made a party to the proceeding; (2) the

nature and extent of the petitioner’s

property, financial, or other interest in

the proceeding; and (3) the possible

effect of any order that may be entered

in the proceeding on the petitioner’s

interest. The petition must also identify

the specific aspect(s) of the subject

matter of the proceeding as to which

petitioner wishes to intervene. Any

person who has filed a petition for leave

to intervene or who has been admitted

as a party may amend the petition

without requesting leave of the board up

to 15 days before the first prehearing

conference scheduled in the proceeding,

but such an amended petition must

satisfy the specificity requirements

described above.

Not later than 15 days before the first

prehearing conference scheduled in the

proceeding, a petitioner shall file a

supplement to the petition to intervene

that must include a list of the

contentions that the petitioner seeks to

have litigated in the hearing. Each

contention must consist of a specific

statement of the issue of law or fact to

be raised or controverted. In addition,

the petitioner shall provide a brief

explanation of the bases of each

contention and a concise statement of

the alleged facts or the expert opinion

that supports the contention and on

which the petitioner intends to rely in

proving the contention at the hearing.

The petitioner must also provide

references to those specific sources and

documents of which the petitioner is

aware and on which the petitioner

intends to rely to establish those facts or

expert opinion. The petitioner must

provide sufficient information to show

that a genuine dispute exists with the

applicant on a material issue of law or

fact. Contentions shall be limited to

matters within the scope of the action

under consideration. The contention

must be one that, if proven, would

entitle the petitioner to relief. A

petitioner who fails to file such a

supplement that satisfies these

requirements with respect to at least one

contention will not be permitted to

participate as a party.

Those permitted to intervene become

parties to the proceeding, subject to any

limitations in the order granting leave to

intervene, and have the opportunity to

participate fully in the conduct of the

hearing, including the opportunity to

present evidence and cross-examine

witnesses.

Requests for a hearing and petitions

for leave to intervene must be filed with

the Secretary of the Commission, U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission,

Washington DC 20555–0001, Attention:

Rulemakings and Adjudications Staff, or

may be delivered to the Commission’s

Public Document Room, 11555

Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville,

Maryland, 20855–2738, by the above

date. A copy of the request for a hearing

and the petition should also be sent to

the Office of the General Counsel, U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission,

Washington, DC 20555–0001, and to

Thomas F. Plunkett, President—Nuclear

Division, Florida Power & Light

Company, P.O. Box 14000, Juno Beach,

FL 33408–0420.

Nontimely filings of petitions for

leave to intervene, amended petitions,

supplemental petitions, and/or requests

for a hearing will not be entertained

absent a determination by the

Commission, the presiding officer, or

the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board

that the petition and/or request should

be granted based upon a balancing of

the factors specified in 10 CFR

2.714(a)(1) (i)–(v) and 2.714(d).

Detailed information about the license

renewal process can be found under the

nuclear reactors’ icon of the NRC’s Web
