Nuclear Power Plant; Notice of 

Hearing, Opportunity To Petition for 

Leave To Intervene, and Associated

Pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act of 

1954, as amended, and the regulations 

in Title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR) Part 2, ‘‘Rules of 

Practice for Domestic Licensing 

Proceedings and Issuance of Orders,’’ 10 

CFR Part 50, ‘‘Domestic Licensing of 

Production and Utilization Facilities,’’ 

and 10 CFR Part 52, ‘‘Licenses, 

Certifications, and Approvals for 

Nuclear Power Plants,’’ notice is hereby 

given that a hearing will be held, at a 

time and place to be set in the future by 

the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC, the Commission) or 

designated by the Atomic Safety and 

Licensing Board (Board). The hearing 

will consider the application dated 

October 10, 2008, filed by PPL Bell 

Bend, LLC, pursuant to Subpart C of 10 

CFR Part 52, for a combined license 

(COL). The application, which was 

supplemented by the applicant by 

letters dated November 18, 2008, 

November 24, 2008, December 1, 2008, 

and December 8, 2008, requests 

approval of a COL for the Bell Bend 

Nuclear Power Plant to be located in 

Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. The 

application was accepted for docketing 

on December 19, 2008 (73 FR 79519). 

The docket number established for this 

application is 52–039. The Bell Bend 

Nuclear Power Plant COL application 

incorporates by reference the 

application for a standard Design 

Certification for the U. S. Evolutionary 

Power Reactor (EPR) submitted to NRC 

by AREVA NP on December 11, 2007. 

This design certification application 

was supplemented by letters dated 

February 7, 2008, and February 20, 

2008. The U.S. EPR design certification 

application was accepted for docketing 

on February 25, 2008, and is the subject 

of an ongoing rulemaking under docket 

number 52–020. 

The hearing 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 52.87, ‘‘Referral 

to the ACRS,’’ and the ACRS will report 

on those portions of the application that 

concern safety. 

Any person whose interest may be 

affected by this proceeding and who 

desires to participate as a party to this 

proceeding must file a written petition 

for leave to intervene in accordance 

with 10 CFR 2.309. 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. 

A petition for a leave to intervene 

must be filed no later than 60 days from 

the date of publication of this notice in 

the Federal Register. Non-timely filings 

will not be entertained absent a 

determination by the Commission or 

presiding officer designated to rule on 

the petition, pursuant to the 

requirements of 10 CFR 2.309(c)(i) 

through (c)(viii). 

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. A petition for leave to intervene 

must be filed in accordance with the 

NRC E-Filing rule, which was 

promulgated by the NRC on August 28, 

2007 (72 FR 49139). The E-Filing 

process requires participants to submit 

and serve 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 a waiver 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 

petitioner must contact the Office of the 

Secretary by e-mail at 

HearingDocket@nrc.gov, or by calling 

(301) 415–1677, to request (1) a digital 

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/or (2) creation of an 

electronic docket for the proceeding 

(even in instances in which the 

petitioner (or its counsel or 

representative) already holds an NRCissued digital ID certificate). Each 

participant will need to download the 

Workplace Forms ViewerTM to access 

the Electronic Information Exchange 

(EIE), a component of the E-Filing 

system. The Workplace Forms 

ViewerTM is free and is available at 

http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals/install-viewer.html. 

Information about applying for a digital 

ID certificate is available on NRC’s 

public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/ 

site-help/e-submittals/applycertificates.html. 

Once a participant has obtained a 

digital ID certificate, had a docket 

created, and downloaded the EIE 

viewer, it can then submit a petition for 

leave to intervene. Submissions should 

be in Portable Document Format (PDF) 

in accordance with NRC guidance 

available on the NRC public Web site at 

http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html. A filing is considered 

complete at the time the filer submits its 

documents through EIE. To be timely, 

an electronic filing must be submitted to 

the EIE system no later than 11:59 p.m. 

Eastern Time on the due date. Upon
