NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket No. 72–1]

General Electric Company, Morris

Operation; Notice of Docketing, Notice

of Consideration of Issuance, and

Notice of Opportunity for a Hearing for

the Renewal of Materials License

SNM–2500 for the Morris Operation

Independent Spent Fuel Storage

Installation

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission

(NRC or Commission) is considering a

renewal application dated May 22,

2000, of a materials license under the

provisions of 10 CFR Part 72, from

General Electric Company (GE) for

renewal of its Morris Operation

independent spent fuel storage

installation (ISFSI) license (SNM–2500).

GE has owned and operated Morris

Operations since its construction under

Atomic Energy Commission Provisional

Construction Permit No. CPCSF–3

issued in December 1967, as a spent fuel

reprocessing facility, and specifically as

an ISFSI for the last 18 years under the

current NRC License SNM–2500. This

application was docketed under 10 CFR

Part 72; the ISFSI Docket No. is 72–1

and will remain the same for this action.

The GE Morris Operation is located in

Gooselake Township, Grundy County,

Morris, Illinois, near the confluence of

the Kankakee and Des Plaines Rivers. If

granted, the license will authorize the

applicant to continue to store spent fuel

in a wet storage facility for a term of

twenty (20) years.

Prior to issuance of the 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. The issuance of the

materials license will not be approved

until the NRC has reviewed the

application and has concluded that

renewal of the license will not be

inimical to the common defense and

security and will not constitute an

unreasonable risk to the health and

safety of the public. The NRC will

complete an environmental evaluation,

in accordance with 10 CFR Part 51, to

determine if the preparation of an

environmental impact statement is

warranted or if an environmental

assessment and finding of no significant

impact are appropriate. This action will

be the subject of a subsequent notice in

the Federal Register. Pursuant to 10

CFR 2.105, by November 20, 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

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 203 / Thursday, October 19, 2000 / Notices 62767

the proceeding must file a written

request for a hearing and a petition for

leave to intervene with respect to the

subject materials license in accordance

with the provisions of 10 CFR 2.714. If

a request for hearing or petition for

leave to intervene is filed by the above

date, the NRC 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 and/or

petition, and the Secretary or the

designated Atomic Safety and Licensing

Board will issue a notice of hearing or

an appropriate order. In the event that

no request for hearing or petition for

leave to intervene is filed by the above

date, the NRC may, upon satisfactory

completion of all required evaluations,

issue the materials license renewal

without further prior notice.

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. The petition

should 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 should also

identify the specific aspect(s) of the

subject matter of the proceeding as to

which the 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

a petition, without requesting leave of

the Board up to 15 days prior to the

holding of the first pre-hearing

conference scheduled in the proceeding,

but such an amended petition must

satisfy the specificity requirements

described above.

Not later than fifteen (15) days prior

to the first pre-hearing conference

scheduled in the proceeding, a

petitioner shall file a supplement to the

petition to intervene which must

include a list of contentions which are

sought to be litigated in the matter. 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 the

contention and a concise statement of

the alleged facts or expert opinion

which support 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. 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 which, if proven, would

entitle the petitioner to relief. A

petitioner who fails to file such a

supplement which 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.

A request for a hearing or petition for

leave to intervene must be filed with the

Secretary of the Commission, U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission,

Washington, DC 20555, Attention:

Document Control Desk or may be

delivered to the Commission’s Public

Document Room, One White Flint North

Building, 11555 Rockville Pike,

Rockville, MD, by the above date. Where

petitions are filed during the last ten

(10) days of the notice period, it is

requested that the petitioner promptly

so inform the NRC by a toll-free

telephone (800–368–5642 Extension

415–8500) call to E. William Brach,

Director, Spent Fuel Project Office,

Office of Nuclear Material Safety and

Safeguards, with the following message:

petitioner’s name and telephone

number; date petition was mailed; plant

name; and publication date and page

number of this Federal Register notice.

A copy of the petition should also be

sent to the Office of the General

Counsel, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission, Washington, DC 20555,

and to Mr. James E. Ellis, Manager,

Morris Operations, General Electric

Company, 7555 East Collins Road,

Morris, IL 60540, for the applicant.

Non-timely filings of petitions for

leave to intervene, amended petitions,

supplemental petitions, and/or requests

for hearing will not be entertained

absent a determination by the

Commission, the presiding Officer, or

the presiding 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).

For further details with respect to this

application, see the application dated

May 22, 2000, which is available for

public inspection at the Commission’s

Public Document Room, One White

Flint North Building, 11555 Rockville

Pike, Rockville, MD or from the publicly
