State University and Opportunity for

Hearing.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC) is considering a

license renewal of Special Nuclear

Material License SNM–1373, issued to

Idaho State University (ISU). Renewal

will allow ISU to continue to receive

and use uranium-235 in the form of fuel

plates and foils. Work performed under

this license includes the study of

subcritical assembly and nondestructive

assay. The work is conducted for

education and research to strengthen the

existing undergraduate and graduate

programs in the area of nuclear science

and engineering.

Prior to approving the renewal

application, NRC will have made

findings required by the Atomic Energy

Act of 1954, as amended, and NRC’s

regulations. These findings will be

documented in a Safety Evaluation

Report. The licensing of the ISU

activities is for research and education

purposes, therefore, in accordance with

10 CFR Section 51.22(c)(14)(v), neither

an Environmental Assessment nor an

Environmental Impact Statement is

warranted for this action. The renewal

of the license will be documented in the

issuance of a renewed SNM–1373

license.

The NRC hereby provides notice that

this is a proceeding on an application

for renewal of a license falling within

the scope of Subpart L, ‘‘Informal

Hearing Procedure for Adjudication in

Materials Licensing Proceedings,’’ of

NRC’s rules and practice for domestic

licensing processing in 10 CFR Part 2.

Pursuant to Section 2.1205(a), any

person whose interest may be affected

by this proceeding may file a request for

a hearing in accordance with Section

2.1205(d). A request for a hearing must

be filed within thirty (30) days of the

date of publication of the Federal

Register notice.

The request for a hearing must be

filed with the Office of Secretary either:

1. By delivery to the Docketing and

Service Branch of the Secretary at One

White Flint North, 11555 Rockville

Pike, Rockville, MD 20852–2738; or

2. By mail or telegram addressed to

the Secretary, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission, Washington, DC 20555.

Attention: Docketing and Services

Branch.

In addition to meeting other

applicable requirements of 10 CFR Part

2 of the NRC’s regulations, a request for

a hearing filed by a person other than

an applicant must describe in detail:

1. The interest of the requester in the

proceeding;

2. How that interest may be affected

by the results of the proceeding,

including the reasons why the requestor

should be permitted a hearing, with

particular reference to the factors set out

in Section 2.1205(h).

3. The requester’s areas of concern

about the licensing activity that is the

subject matter of the proceeding; and

4. The circumstances establishing that

the request for a hearing is timely in

accordance with Section 2.1205(d).

In accordance with 10 CFR Section

2.1205(f), each request for a hearing

must also be served, by delivering it

personally or by mail to:

1. The applicant, Idaho State

University, College Of Engineering, ISU

Box 8060, Pocatello, Idaho, 83209;

Attention: Dr. John S. Bennion, Reactor

Administrator; and

2. The NRC staff, by delivering to the

Executive Director for Operations, One

White Flint North, 11555 Rockville

Pike, Rockville, MD 20852, or by mail,

addressed to the Executive Director for

Operations, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission, Washington, DC 20555.

Any hearing that is requested and

granted will be held in accordance with

the NRC’s Informal Hearing Procedures

for Adjudications in Materials Licensing

Proceedings in 10 CFR Part 2, Subpart

L.

For further details with respect to this

action, the license renewal application

dated September 30, 1997, is available

for inspection at the NRC’s Public

Document Room, 2120 L Street N.W.,

Washington, DC 20555. Questions
