SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    By letters dated March 26, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13088A192), 
and May 31, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13172A361), and supplemented by 
letter dated September 25, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13269A378), 
SHINE requested approval of a construction permit application for a 
medical radioisotope production facility (ADAMS Accession No. 
ML13172A324). SHINE's medical radioisotope production facility would 
include an irradiation facility and a radioisotope production facility 
collocated in a single building. The irradiation facility would consist 
of accelerator-driven subcritical operating assemblies used for the 
irradiation of a uranium solution to produce molybdenum-99 and other 
fission products. The radioisotope production facility would consist of 
hot cell structures used for the extraction of radioisotopes. Part one 
of the application was accepted for docketing on June 25, 2013 (78 FR 
39342). The second and final portion of SHINE's two-part construction 
permit application, as supplemented, was accepted for docketing on 
December 2, 2013 (78 FR 73897). The docket number established for this 
application is 50-608.
    The NRC is considering issuance of a construction permit to SHINE 
for construction of the SHINE medical radioisotope production facility, 
to be located in Rock County, Wisconsin.

II. Hearing

    Pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and parts 2 
and 50 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ``Rules 
of Practice for Domestic Licensing Proceedings and Issuance of 
Orders,'' and ``Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization 
Facilities,'' notice is hereby given that a hearing will be held, at a 
time and place to be set in the future by the Commission or designated 
by the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (Board).
    The hearing on the application for a construction permit filed by 
SHINE pursuant to 10 CFR part 50 will be conducted by a Board that will 
be designated by the Chief Judge of the Atomic Safety and Licensing 
Board Panel or will be conducted by the Commission. Notice as to the 
membership of the Board will be published in the Federal Register at a 
later date. The NRC staff will complete a detailed technical review of 
the application and will document its findings in a safety evaluation 
report. The Commission will refer a copy of the application to the 
Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) in accordance with 10 
CFR 50.58, ``Hearings and Report of the Advisory Committee on Reactor 
Safeguards,'' and the ACRS will report on those portions of the 
application that concern safety. The NRC staff will also complete an 
environmental review of the application and will document its findings 
in an environmental impact statement in accordance with the National 
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended, and the Commission's 
regulations in 10 CFR part 51.

III. Opportunity To Petition for Leave To Intervene

    Within 60 days after the date of publication of this Federal 
Register notice, any person whose interest may be affected by this 
proceeding and who desires to participate as a party in this proceeding 
must file a written petition for leave to intervene with respect to 
issuance of the construction permit to SHINE in accordance with the 
NRC's ``Agency Rules of Practice and Procedure'' in 10 CFR part 2. 
Interested

[[Page 13037]]

person(s) should consult a current copy of 10 CFR 2.309, which is 
available at the NRC's PDR. The NRC's regulations are accessible 
electronically from the NRC Library on the NRC's Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/cfr/.
    As required by 10 CFR 2.309, a petition for leave to intervene must 
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 must specifically explain the reasons why 
intervention should be permitted, with particular reference to the 
following general requirements: (1) the name, address, and telephone 
number of the petitioner; (2) the nature of the petitioner's right 
under the Act to be made a party to the proceeding; (3) the nature and 
extent of the petitioner's property, financial, or other interest in 
the proceeding; and (4) the possible effect of any decision or order 
which may be entered in the proceeding on the petitioner's interest. 
The petition must also include the specific contentions that the 
petitioner seeks to have litigated at the proceeding.
    For each contention, the petitioner must provide a specific 
statement of the issue of law or fact to be raised or controverted, as 
well as a brief explanation of the basis for the contention. 
Additionally, the petitioner must demonstrate that the issue raised by 
each contention is within the scope of the proceeding and is material 
to the findings that the NRC must make to support the issuance of the 
construction permit in response to the application. The petition must 
also include a concise statement of the alleged facts or expert opinion 
that support the contention and on which the petitioner intends to rely 
at the hearing, together with references to those specific sources and 
documents. The petition 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 licensing action under consideration. Each contention must be 
one which, if proven, would entitle the petitioner to relief. A 
petitioner who does not satisfy these requirements for 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 with respect to resolution of that person's admitted 
contentions, including the opportunity to present evidence and to 
submit a cross-examination plan for cross-examination of witnesses, 
consistent with NRC regulations, policies, and procedures. The Atomic 
Safety and Licensing Board will set the time and place for any 
prehearing conferences and evidentiary hearings, and the appropriate 
notices will be provided.
    Petitions for leave to intervene must be filed no later than 60 
days from the date of publication of this notice. Petitions for leave 
to intervene and motions for leave to file new or amended contentions 
that are filed after the 60-day 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)-
(iii).
    A State, local governmental body, Federally-recognized Indian 
Tribe, or agency thereof, may submit a petition to the Commission to 
participate as a party under 10 CFR 2.309(h)(1). The petition should 
state the nature and extent of the petitioner's interest in the 
proceeding. The petition should be submitted to the Commission by May 
11, 2015. The petition must be filed in accordance with the filing 
instructions in the ``Electronic Submission (E-Filing)'' section of 
this document, and should meet the requirements for petitions for leave 
to intervene set forth in this section, except that under 10 CFR 
2.309(h)(2) a State, local governmental body, or Federally-recognized 
Indian Tribe, or agency thereof does not need to address the standing 
requirements in 10 CFR 2.309(d) if the facility is located within its 
boundaries. A State, local governmental body, Federally-recognized 
Indian Tribe, or agency thereof may also have the opportunity to 
participate under 10 CFR 2.315(c).
    Any person who files a motion pursuant to 10 CFR 2.323 must consult 
with counsel for the applicant and counsel for the NRC staff. Counsel 
for the applicant is Paul Bessette, <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#c1b1a3a4b2b2a4b5b5a481acaeb3a6a0afada4b6a8b2efa2aeac"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="94e4f6f1e7e7f1e0e0f1d4f9fbe6f3f5faf8f1e3fde7baf7fbf9">[email protected]</span></a>, 202-739-
5796. Counsel for the NRC staff in this proceeding is Mitzi Young, 
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#e0ad89949a89ceb98f958e87a08e9283ce878f96"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="c885a1bcb2a1e691a7bda6af88a6baabe6afa7be">[email protected]</span></a>, 301-415-3830.
    Any person who does not wish, or is not qualified, to become a 
party to the proceeding may, in the discretion of the presiding 
officer, be permitted to make a limited appearance pursuant to the 
provisions of 10 CFR 2.315(a). A person making a limited appearance may 
make an oral or written statement of position on the issues, but may 
not otherwise participate in the proceeding. A limited appearance may 
be made at any session of the hearing or at any prehearing conference, 
subject to the limits and conditions as may be imposed by the presiding 
officer. Persons desiring to make a limited appearance are requested to 
inform the Secretary of the Commission by May 11, 2015.

IV. Electronic Submissions (E-Filing)

    All documents filed in NRC adjudicatory proceedings, including a 
request for hearing, a petition for leave to intervene, any motion or 
other document filed in the proceeding prior to the submission of a 
request for hearing or petition to intervene, and documents filed by 
interested governmental entities participating under 10 CFR 2.315(c), 
must be filed in accordance with the NRC's E-Filing rule (72 FR 49139; 
August 28, 2007). 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. Participants may not 
submit paper copies of their filings unless they seek an exemption in 
accordance with the procedures described below.
    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 <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#472f2226352e2920692328242c22330729352469202831"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="375f5256455e5950195358545c52437759455419505841">[email protected]</span></a>, or by 
telephone at 301-415-1677, to request: (1) a digital identification 
(ID) certificate, which allows the participant (or its counsel or 
representative) to digitally sign documents and access the E-Submittal 
server for any proceeding in which it is participating; and (2) advise 
the Secretary that the participant will be submitting a request or 
petition for hearing (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.
    Information about applying for a digital ID certificate is 
available on the NRC's public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/getting-started.html. System requirements for accessing 
the E-Submittal server are detailed in the NRC's ``Guidance for 
Electronic Submission,'' which is available on the agency's public Web 
site at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html. Participants 
may attempt to use other software not listed on the Web site, but 
should note that the NRC's E-Filing system does not support unlisted 
software, and the NRC Meta System Help Desk will not be able to

[[Page 13038]]

offer assistance in using unlisted software.
    If a participant is electronically submitting a document to the NRC 
in accordance with the E-Filing rule, the participant must file the 
document using the NRC's online, Web-based submission form. In order to 
serve documents through the Electronic Information Exchange System, 
users will be required to install a Web browser plug-in from the NRC's 
Web site. Further information on the Web-based submission form, 
including the installation of the Web browser plug-in, is available on 
the NRC's public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html.
    Once a participant has obtained a digital ID certificate and a 
docket has been created, the participant can then submit a request for 
hearing or petition for leave to intervene. Submissions should be in 
Portable Document Format (PDF) in accordance with NRC guidance 
available on the NRC's public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html. A filing is considered complete at the time the 
documents are 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. Eastern Time on the due date. Upon receipt of 
a transmission, the E-Filing system time-stamps the document and sends 
the submitter an email notice confirming receipt of the document. The 
E-Filing system also distributes an email notice 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 
documents on those participants separately. Therefore, applicants and 
other participants (or their counsel or representative) must apply for 
and receive a digital ID certificate before a hearing request/petition 
to intervene is filed so that they can obtain access to the document 
via the E-Filing system.
    A person filing electronically using the NRC's adjudicatory E-
Filing system may seek assistance by contacting the NRC Meta System 
Help Desk through the ``Contact Us'' link located on the NRC's public 
Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html, by email to 
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#5a1709121e74083f29352f28393f1a342839743d352c"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="b7fae4fff399e5d2c4d8c2c5d4d2f7d9c5d499d0d8c1">[email protected]</span></a>, or by a toll-free call at 1-866-672-7640. The 
NRC Meta System Help Desk is available between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., 
Eastern Time, Monday through Friday, excluding government holidays.
    Participants who believe that they have a 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 
requesting authorization to continue to submit documents in paper 
format. Such filings must be submitted by: (1) First class mail 
addressed to the Office of the Secretary of the Commission, U.S. 
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, Attention: 
Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff; or (2) courier, express mail, or 
expedited delivery service to the Office of the Secretary, Sixteenth 
Floor, One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 
20852, Attention: Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff. Participants 
filing a document in this manner are responsible for serving the 
document on all other participants. Filing is considered complete by 
first-class mail as of the time of deposit in the mail, or by courier, 
express mail, or expedited delivery service upon depositing the 
document with the provider of the service. A presiding officer, having 
granted an exemption request from using E-Filing, may require a 
participant or party to use E-Filing if the presiding officer 
subsequently determines that the reason for granting the exemption from 
use of E-Filing no longer exists.
    Documents submitted in adjudicatory proceedings will appear in the 
NRC's electronic hearing docket which is available to the public at 
http://ehd1.nrc.gov/ehd/, unless excluded pursuant to an order of the 
Commission, or the presiding officer. Participants are requested not to 
include personal privacy information, such as social security numbers, 
home addresses, or home phone numbers in their filings, unless an NRC 
regulation or other law requires submission of such information. 
However, a request to intervene will require including information on 
local residence in order to demonstrate a proximity assertion of 
interest in the proceeding. 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 are requested 
not to include copyrighted materials in their submissions.

V. Order Imposing Procedures for Access to Sensitive Unclassified Non-
Safeguards Information for Contention Preparation

    A. This Order contains instructions regarding how potential parties 
to this proceeding may request access to documents containing SUNSI.
    B. Within 10 days after publication of this notice of hearing and 
opportunity to petition for leave to intervene, any potential party who 
believes access to SUNSI is necessary to respond to this notice may 
request such access. A ``potential party'' is any person who intends to 
participate as a party by demonstrating standing and filing an 
admissible contention under 10 CFR 2.309. Requests for access to SUNSI 
submitted later than 10 days after publication of this notice will not 
be considered absent a showing of good cause for the late filing, 
addressing why the request could not have been filed earlier.
    C. The requester shall submit a letter requesting permission to 
access SUNSI to the Office of the Secretary, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, Attention: Rulemakings and 
Adjudications Staff, and provide a copy to the Associate General 
Counsel for Hearings, Enforcement and Administration, Office of the 
General Counsel, Washington, DC 20555-0001. The expedited delivery or 
courier mail address for both offices is: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852. The email 
address for the Office of the Secretary and the Office of the General 
Counsel are <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="0b436e6a7962656c254f6468606e7f4b657968256c647d">[email protected]</a> and <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#8cc3cbcfe1ede5e0efe9e2f8e9fecce2feefa2ebe3fa"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="fab5bdb9979b9396999f948e9f88ba948899d49d958c">[email protected]</span></a>, 
respectively.\1\ The request must include the following information:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ While a request for hearing or petition to intervene in this 
proceeding must comply with the filing requirements of the NRC's 
``E-Filing Rule,'' the initial request to access SUNSI under these 
procedures should be submitted as described in this paragraph.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (1) A description of the licensing action with a citation to this 
Federal Register notice;
    (2) The name and address of the potential party and a description 
of the potential party's particularized interest that could be harmed 
by the action identified in C.(1); and
    (3) The identity of the individual or entity requesting access to 
SUNSI and the requester's basis for the need for the information in 
order to meaningfully participate in this adjudicatory proceeding. In 
particular, the request must explain why publicly-available versions of 
the information requested would not be sufficient to provide the basis 
and specificity for a proffered contention.
    D. Based on an evaluation of the information submitted under 
paragraph C.(3) above, the NRC staff will determine within 10 days of 
receipt of the request whether:

[[Page 13039]]

    (1) There is a reasonable basis to believe the petitioner is likely 
to establish standing to participate in this NRC proceeding; and
    (2) The requestor has established a legitimate need for access to 
SUNSI.
    E. If the NRC staff determines that the requestor satisfies both 
D.(1) and D.(2) above, the NRC staff will notify the requestor in 
writing that access to SUNSI has been granted. The written notification 
will contain instructions on how the requestor may obtain copies of the 
requested documents, and any other conditions that may apply to access 
to those documents. These conditions may include, but are not limited 
to, the signing of a Non-Disclosure Agreement or Affidavit, or 
Protective Order \2\ setting forth terms and conditions to prevent the 
unauthorized or inadvertent disclosure of SUNSI by each individual who 
will be granted access to SUNSI.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Any motion for Protective Order or draft Non-Disclosure 
Affidavit or Agreement for SUNSI must be filed with the presiding 
officer or the Chief Administrative Judge if the presiding officer 
has not yet been designated, within 30 days of the deadline for the 
receipt of the written access request.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    F. Filing of Contentions. Any contentions in these proceedings that 
are based upon the information received as a result of the request made 
for SUNSI must be filed by the requestor no later than 25 days after 
the requestor is granted access to that information. However, if more 
than 25 days remain between the date the petitioner is granted access 
to the information and the deadline for filing all other contentions 
(as established in the notice of hearing or opportunity for hearing), 
the petitioner may file its SUNSI contentions by that later deadline. 
This provision does not extend the time for filing a request for a 
hearing and petition to intervene, which must comply with the 
requirements of 10 CFR 2.309.
    G. Review of Denials of Access.
    (1) If the request for access to SUNSI is denied by the NRC staff 
after a determination on standing and need for access, the NRC staff 
shall immediately notify the requestor in writing, briefly stating the 
reason or reasons for the denial.
    (2) The requester may challenge the NRC staff's adverse 
determination by filing a challenge within 5 days of receipt of that 
determination with: (a) The presiding officer designated in this 
proceeding; (b) if no presiding officer has been appointed, the Chief 
Administrative Judge, or if he or she is unavailable, another 
administrative judge, or an administrative law judge with jurisdiction 
pursuant to 10 CFR 2.318(a); or (c) officer if that officer has been 
designated to rule on information access issues.
    H. Review of Grants of Access. A party other than the requester may 
challenge an NRC staff determination granting access to SUNSI whose 
release would harm that party's interest independent of the proceeding. 
Such a challenge must be filed with the Chief Administrative Judge 
within 5 days of the notification by the NRC staff of its grant of 
access.
    If challenges to the NRC staff determinations are filed, these 
procedures give way to the normal process for litigating disputes 
concerning access to information. The availability of interlocutory 
review by the Commission of orders ruling on such NRC staff 
determinations (whether granting or denying access) is governed by 10 
CFR 2.311.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Requesters should note that the filing requirements of the 
NRC's E-Filing Rule (72 FR 49139; August 28, 2007) apply to appeals 
of NRC staff determinations (because they must be served on a 
presiding officer or the Commission, as applicable), but not to the 
initial SUNSI request submitted to the NRC staff under these 
procedures.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I. The Commission expects that the NRC staff and presiding officers 
(and any other reviewing officers) will consider and resolve requests 
for access to SUNSI, and motions for protective orders, in a timely 
fashion in order to minimize any unnecessary delays in identifying 
those petitioners who have standing and who have propounded contentions 
meeting the specificity and basis requirements in 10 CFR part 2. 
Attachment 1 to this Order summarizes the general target schedule for 
processing and resolving requests under these procedures.
    It is so ordered.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 4th of March, 2015.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Annette L. Vietti-Cook,
Secretary of the Commission.

                            formulation does not require access to SUNSI
                            (+25 Answers to petition for intervention;
                            +7 petitioner reply).
20.......................  U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
                            staff informs the requester of the staff's
                            determination whether the request for access
                            provides a reasonable basis to believe
                            standing can be established and shows need
                            for SUNSI. (NRC staff also informs any party
                            to the proceeding whose interest independent
                            of the proceeding would be harmed by the
                            release of the information.) If NRC staff
                            makes the finding of need for SUNSI and
                            likelihood of standing, NRC staff begins
                            document processing (preparation of
                            redactions or review of redacted documents).
25.......................  If NRC staff finds no ``need'' or no
                            likelihood of standing, the deadline for
                            petitioner/requester to file a motion
                            seeking a ruling to reverse the NRC staff's
                            denial of access; NRC staff files copy of
                            access determination with the presiding
                            officer (or Chief Administrative Judge or
                            other designated officer, as appropriate).
                            If NRC staff finds ``need'' for SUNSI, the
                            deadline for any party to the proceeding
                            whose interest independent of the proceeding
                            would be harmed by the release of the
                            information to file a motion seeking a
                            ruling to reverse the NRC staff's grant of

                            licensee to file Non-Disclosure Agreement

                            officer or other designated officer decision
                            on motion for protective order for access to
                            sensitive information (including schedule
