SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission 

(NRC) is considering issuance of a 

license amendment to Materials License 

No. 45–23645–01NA. This license is 

held by the Department of the Navy 

(Navy or Licensee). This is a Master 

Materials License and covers many sites 

around the country. The proposed 

action pertains to The Hypervelocity 

Gun Facility at the Naval Research 

Laboratory in Chesapeake Beach, 

Maryland (the Facility). The amendment 

would authorize the decommissioning 

of the Facility under the Licensee’s 

Decommissioning Plan. 

An NRC administrative review found 

the Decommissioning Plan acceptable to 

begin a technical review. If the NRC 

approves the Decommissioning Plan, 

the approval will be documented in an 

amendment to NRC License No. 45– 

23645–01NA. However, before 

approving the proposed amendment, the 

NRC will need to make the safety 

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 NRC’s evaluation of 

environmental issues will be 

documented in a separate report. 

Following completion of 

decommissioning activities and 

verification by the NRC that the 

radiological criteria for license 

termination have been met, the NRC 

will amend the license to authorize 

release of the Facility for unrestricted 

use. 

II. Opportunity To Request a Hearing 

The NRC hereby provides notice that 

this is a proceeding on an application 

for a license amendment regarding the 

decommissioning of the Facility. Any 

person whose interest may be affected 

by this proceeding and who desires to 

participate as a party must file a request 

for a hearing and a specification of the 

contentions, which the person seeks to 

have litigated in the hearing, in 

accordance with the NRC E-Filing rule 

(promulgated in August 28, 2007; 72 FR 

49139). The E-Filing rule 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. 

In order to comply with the 

procedural requirements of E-Filing, at 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 63 / Friday, April 3, 2009 / Notices 15311 

least ten days prior to the filing 

deadline, the petitioner/requester must 

contact the Office of the Secretary by email 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/requester (or its counsel or 

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

petitioner/requester will need to 

download the Workplace Forms 

ViewerTM to access the Electronic 

Information Exchange, 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 petitioner/requester has 

obtained a digital ID certificate, had an 

electronic docket created, and 

downloaded the Electronic Information 

Exchange viewer, the individual can 

then submit a request for hearing or 

petition for leave to intervene. 

Submissions should be in Portable 

Document Format in accordance with 

NRC guidance available on the NRC 

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

site-help/e-submittals.html. A filing is 

considered complete at the time the filer 

submits its documents through the 

Electronic Information Exchange. To be 

timely, an electronic filing must be 

submitted to the Electronic Information 

Exchange system no later than 11:59 

p.m. Eastern Standard 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 Electronic Information 

Exchange system also distributes an email notice that provides access to the 

document to the NRC 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 does not 

need to 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 may 

seek assistance through the ‘‘Contact 

Us’’ link located on the NRC Web site 

at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html or by calling the NRC 

electronic filing Help Desk, which is 

available between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., 

Eastern Time, Monday through Friday, 

excluding government holidays. The 

help electronic filing Help Desk can be 

contacted by telephone at 1–866–672– 

7640 or by e-mail at 

MSHD.Resource@nrc.gov. 

Participants who believe that they 

have a good cause for not submitting 

documents electronically must file a 

motion, in accordance with 10 CFR 

2.302(g), with their initial paper filing 

requesting authorization to continue to 

submit documents in paper format.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission 

(NRC) is considering the renewal of 

Special Nuclear Material License SNM– 

1227 for the continued operation of the 

AREVA NP, Inc. Fuel Fabrication 

Facility located in Richland, 

Washington. This renewal authorizes 

the licensee to receive and possess 

nuclear materials at the Richland 

facility to fabricate and assemble 

nuclear fuel components under the 

provisions of 10 CFR part 70, Domestic 

Licensing of Special Nuclear Material. If 

NRC approves the renewal of the 

license, the term would cover 40 years. 

NRC has prepared an Environmental 

Assessment (EA) in support of this 

action in accordance with the 

requirements of 10 CFR part 51. Based 

on the EA, the NRC has concluded that 

a Finding of No Significant Impact 

(FONSI) is appropriate. If approved, 

NRC will issue the renewed license 

following the publication of this notice. 

II. EA Summary 

The licensee requests approval to 

renew SNM–1227 for an additional 40 

years at the Richland, Washington 

facility. Specifically, this would allow 

AREVA NP to continue manufacturing 

and assembling nuclear fuel 

components for use in commercial lightwater-cooled nuclear reactors. On 

October 24, 2006, AREVA NP requested 

that NRC approve the proposed 

amendment. AREVA NP’s request for 

the proposed change was previously 

noticed in the Federal Register on 

March 15, 2007 (72 FR 12202), with a 

Notice of an Opportunity to Request a 

Hearing. 

The staff has prepared the EA in 

support of the proposed license 

renewal. Staff considered 12 

environmental impacts in their 

evaluation, including: Land use; 

transportation; socioeconomics; air 

quality; water quality; geology and soils; 

ecology; noise; historic and cultural; 

scenic and visual; public and 

occupational health; and waste 

management. All of the environmental 

impacts were small, with the exception 

of transportation. NRC staff considered 

the transportation long-term and 

cumulative impacts as small-tomoderate based on projected population 

growth estimates and anticipated 

development of residential communities 

and commercial lands. The regional 

government and industry 

collaboratively plan the area’s future 

transportation system to minimize 

traffic impacts. NRC considers that the 

proactive planning efforts will keep the 

impact small. A brief summary of the 

other environmental resources follows. 

The license renewal request does not 

require altering the site footprint nor 

does it change the operating processes 

of the existing facility, therefore there 

are no anticipated impacts in land use, 

noise, historic and cultural, scenic and 

visual, and site ecology resources. The 

proposed action will not adversely 

affect federal or state-listed threatened 

or endangered species nor flora and 

fauna in the site vicinity. AREVA NP is 

a major business that contributes a 

positive benefit towards the region’s 

socioeconomics. Airborne and liquid 

effluent monitoring indicates readings 

below regulatory 10 CFR part 20 limits 

for non-radiological and radiological 

contaminants. Public and occupational 

exposures are below the limit 

established in 10 CFR part 20. AREVA 

NP maintains acceptable waste 

management practices and procedures. 

The staff concluded that the proposed 

40 year renewal of license SNM–1227 

will not result in a significant impact to 

the environment. 

NRC staff consulted with other 

agencies regarding the proposed action, 

including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service (USFWS), the Washington 

Department of Ecology, Washington 

Department of Archaeology and Historic 

Preservation [i.e. the State Historic 

Preservation Office], the Confederated 

Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation 

[i.e., one of the two local Tribal Historic 

Preservation Offices], and the 

Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla 

Indian Reservation. The consultations 

ensured that the requirements of Section 

7 of the Endangered Species Act and
