SUMMARY: The NRC has recently

submitted to OMB for review the

following proposal for the collection of

information under the provisions of the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44

U.S.C. Chapter 35). The NRC hereby

informs potential respondents that an

agency may not conduct or sponsor, and

that a person is not required to respond

to, a collection of information unless it

displays a currently valid OMB control

number.

1. Type of submission, new, revision,

or extension: Extension.

2. The title of the information

collection: NRC Form 314—Certificate

of Disposition of Materials.

3. How often the collection is

required: The form is submitted once,

when a licensee terminates its license.

4. Who will be required or asked to

report: Persons holding an NRC license

for the possession and use of radioactive

byproduct, source, or special nuclear

material who are ceasing licensed

activities and terminating the license.

5. The estimated number of annual

respondents: 400.

6. An estimate of the total number of

hours needed annually to complete the

requirement or request: An average of

0.5 hours per response, for a total of 200

7. An indication of whether Section

3507(d), Public Law 104–13 applies: Not

applicable.

8. Abstract: NRC Form 314 furnishes

information to NRC regarding transfer or

other disposition of radioactive material

by licensees who wish to terminate their

licenses. The information is used by

NRC as part of the basis for its

determination that the facility has been

cleared of radioactive material before

the facility is released for unrestricted

use.

statement may be viewed free of charge

NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50–261]

Carolina Power and Light Co.; Notice

of Consideration of Issuance of

Amendment to Facility Operating

License and Opportunity for a Hearing

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (the Commission) is

considering issuance of an amendment

to Facility Operating License DPR–23,

issued to Carolina Power and Light

Company (the licensee), for operation of

the H.B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant

(HBR), Unit 2, located in Darlington

County, South Carolina.

The proposed amendment would

revise the HBR Updated Final Safety

Analysis Report (UFSAR) to include the

evaluation of a previously unanalyzed

spent fuel cask drop scenario. The

scenario involves postulated drop of a

loaded spent fuel shipping cask as the

cask is being moved from the

decontamination facility to the shipping

railcar with the valve box cover

removed.

Before issuance of the proposed

license amendment, the Commission

will have made findings required by the

Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (the Act), as

amended, and the Commission’s

regulations.

By June 19, 1998, 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

Building, 2120 L Street, NW.,

Washington, DC, and at the local public

document room located at the Hartsville

Memorial Library, 147 West College

Avenue, Hartsville, South Carolina

29550. If a request for a hearing or

petition for leave to intervene is filed by

the above date, the Commission or an

Atomic Safety and Licensing Board will

issue a notice of hearing or an

appropriate order.

As required by 10 CFR 2.714, 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 and

extent 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 which

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

the petition without requesting leave of

the Board up to 15 days prior to the first

prehearing conference scheduled in the

proceeding, but such an amended

petition must satisfy the specific

requirements described above.

Not later than 15 days prior to the first

prehearing conference scheduled in the

proceeding, a petitioner shall file a

supplement to the petition to intervene

which must include a list of the

contentions which are sought to be

litigated in this 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 the

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

amendment 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, including the opportunity to

present evidence and cross-examine

witnesses.
