II. Discussion

    On June 11, 2015, WEC submitted an application to renew and amend 
export license XR169/01 to: (1) export nuclear equipment and components 
covered under part 110 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 
(10 CFR), appendix A, to be used at the Sanmen Nuclear Power Plant 
(NPP) Units 1-4 and Haiyang NPP Units 1-4, located in the People's 
Republic of China, for a total of four units at each site (the 
application expanded the scope of the export to include Units 3 and 4 
at each site, whereas previously only Units 1 and 2 were included); (2) 
update the language on the requested license to include paragraphs 
(10)-(11) of appendix A to 10 CFR part 110; (3) delete Stone & Webster 
Asia, Inc. from ``Other Parties to Export'' and replace it with its new 
legal name, CB&I Stone & Webster Asia, Inc.; (4) update the licensee's 
address; (5) change the licensee point of contact; and (6) extend the 
license date of expiration from July 23, 2015 to July 23, 2035.
    In accordance with 10 CFR 110.70(b), the NRC is providing notice of 
the receipt of the application; providing the opportunity to submit 
written comments concerning the application; and providing the 
opportunity to request a hearing or petition for leave to intervene, 
for a period of 30 days after publication of this notice in the Federal 
Register. A hearing request or petition for leave to intervene must 
include the information specified in 10 CFR 110.82(b). Any request for 
hearing or petition for leave to intervene shall be served by the 
requestor or petitioner in accordance with 10 CFR 110.89(a), either by 
delivery, by mail, or filed with the NRC electronically in accordance 
with the NRC's E-Filing rule (72 FR 49139; August 28, 2007, as amended 
at 77 FR 46562; August 3, 2012). 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/e-submittals.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 [email protected], 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 hearing in this 
proceeding if the Secretary has not already established an electronic 
docket.
    The information concerning this application for an export license 
is as follows.
