and shall give its consent in writing.

Section 40.41(b) of the Commission’s

provides that no licensee shall transfer

source or byproduct material except as

authorized pursuant to that section,

while 10 CFR 40.51(b)(5) provides, in

part, that a licensee may transfer source

or byproduct material to any person

authorized to receive such material

under terms of a specific or general

license issued by the Commission.

BILLING CODE 7590–01–P

[Docket Nos. 50–387 and 50–388]

Pennsylvania Power and Light

Company; Notice of Consideration of

Issuance of Amendments to Facility

Operating Licenses and Opportunity

for a Hearing

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (the Commission) is

considering issuance of amendments to

Facility Operating License Nos. NPF–14

and NPF–22 issued to Pennsylvania

Power & Light Company (PP&L, the

licensee) for operation of the

Susquehanna Steam Electric Station,

Units 1 and 2, located in Luzerne

County, Pennsylvania.

The proposed amendment would

change the Technical Specifications

(TSs) for the two units to include

sections that would define and permit

the withdrawal of control rods in

OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS 3 and 4,

hot shutdown and cold shutdown,

respectively, with the reactor mode

switch in the REFUEL position. These

specific changes had been included in a

submittal dated August 1, 1996, which

was the conversion to the Improved

Technical Specifications (ITS); but in

this current application, the specific ITS

Sections 3.10.3 and 3.10.4 have been

reformatted for incorporation into the

current TSs for each unit.

Before issuance of the proposed

license amendment, the Commission

will have made findings required by the

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended

(the Act) and the Commission’s

regulations.

By April 4, 1997, the licensee may file

a request for a hearing with respect to

issuance of the amendment to the

subject facility operating license 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. Requests for a hearing and a

petition for leave to intervene shall be

filed in accordance with the

Commission’s ‘‘Rules of Practice for

Domestic Licensing Proceedings’’ in 10

CFR Part 2. Interested persons should

consult a current copy of 10 CFR 2.714

which is available at the Commission’s

Public Document Room, the Gelman
