United States of America Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission 

In the Matter of: All Licensees of 

Facilities Identified in Attachment 

Docket Nos. (as shown in Attachment) 

License Nos. (as shown in Attachment) 

EA–NRR–2025–0013 

Order Modifying Licenses and 

Establishing Initial Final Safety 

Analysis Report Update Due Dates 

Consistent With the Non-Power 

Production or Utilization Facility 

License Renewal Rule 

I 

In accordance with the Atomic Energy 

Act of 1954, as amended (AEA), the 

facilities identified in the Attachment to 

this Order are licensed by the U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, 

the Commission) under Title 10 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 

Part 50, ‘‘Domestic Licensing of 

Production and Utilization Facilities,’’ 

as non-power production or utilization 

facilities (NPUFs). On December 30, 

2024, the NRC issued the final rule 

‘‘Non-Power Production or Utilization 

Facility License Renewal’’ (89 FR 

106234; the NPUF LR Rule) to provide 

a new framework for enabling NPUFs to 

continue to operate safely while 

reducing burden on NPUF licensees and 

the NRC. The NPUF LR Rule did this by 

eliminating the use of license terms for 

certain NPUFs licensed after the 

effective date of the rule and requiring 

that NPUF licensees periodically submit 

final safety analysis report (FSAR) 

updates. This Order applies this new 

framework to certain existing NPUFs by 

modifying their licenses to eliminate 

their license terms and by establishing 

their initial FSAR update submittal due 

dates. 

II 

The NRC licenses NPUFs under the 

authority granted in Sections 103 and 

104 of the AEA. Section 103 of the AEA 

applies to commercial and industrial 

facilities, and Sections 104a and 104c of 

the AEA apply to facilities used for 

medical therapy and for research and 

development activities, respectively. 

The section of the AEA that provides 

licensing authority for the NRC 

corresponds directly to the class of 

license issued for a facility (e.g., Section 

104a of the AEA authorizes the issuance 

of a ‘‘class 104a’’ license). Furthermore, 

Sections 104a and 104c of the AEA 

require that the Commission impose the 

minimum amount of regulation needed 

to promote the common defense and 

security; protect the health and safety of 

the public; and permit, under Section 

104a, the widest amount of effective 

medical therapy possible and, under 

Section 104c, the conduct of widespread 

and diverse research and development. 

The AEA dictates an initial license 

term of no more than 40 years for class 

103 facilities, but the AEA does not 

establish specific license terms for class 

104 facilities, which are licensed under 

10 CFR 50.21, ‘‘Class 104 licenses; for 

medical therapy and research and 

development facilities,’’ paragraph (a) or 

(c), nor does the AEA direct the NRC to 

specify license terms for class 104 

facilities. Before the NPUF LR Rule, 10 

CFR 50.51, ‘‘Continuation of license,’’ 

paragraph (a) stated, in part, ‘‘Each 

license will be issued for a fixed period 

of time to be specified in the license but 

in no case to exceed 40 years from date 

of issuance.’’ This included all facility 

licenses issued under 10 CFR part 50, 

including licenses for facilities issued 

under 10 CFR 50.21(a) or (c). 

Historically, the renewal of NPUF 

licenses afforded both the NRC and the 

public the opportunity to re-evaluate the 

licensing basis of the NPUF. The 

purpose of the renewal of NPUF 

licenses was to assess the likelihood of 

continued safe operation of the NPUF, 

such that radioactive materials can be 

used for beneficial civilian purposes in 

a safe and secure manner. For several 

reasons that are unique to NPUFs, the 

NRC determined as part of the NPUF LR 

Rule that this objective is achievable for 

certain NPUFs through existing 

oversight activities and review of FSAR 

updates. The NRC reached this 

conclusion based on three 

considerations: (1) low overall 

radiological risk, (2) limited agingrelated issues, and (3) slow evolution of 

the design basis. Accordingly, the NPUF 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
9438 Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 28 / Wednesday, February 12, 2025 / Notices 

LR Rule amended 10 CFR 50.51 to state 

that each NPUF license issued under 10 

CFR 50.21(a) or (c), other than a testing 

facility license, after January 29, 2025 

(i.e., the effective date of the rule), will 

be issued with no fixed license term. 

The rule also amended 10 CFR 50.71, 

‘‘Maintenance of records, making of 

reports,’’ to require that NPUF licensees 

file FSAR updates at no more than 5- 

year intervals. The NPUF LR Rule 

determined that this approach enables 

NPUFs to continue to operate safely 

while reducing burden on NPUF 

licensees and the NRC and remains 

consistent with the NRC’s 

responsibilities under the AEA. This 

approach is also consistent with the 

NRC’s goal of efficient and effective 

licensing and implements and reflects 

lessons learned from decades of 

reviewing NPUF license renewal 

applications. 

III 

The NPUF LR Rule explained that 

most licenses of existing NPUFs 

licensed under 10 CFR 50.21(a) or (c), 

other than testing facilities, will be 

modified by order to remove the license 

terms after the effective date of the rule 

(i.e., January 29, 2025). Specifically, it 

stated that NPUFs licensed under 10 

CFR 50.21(a) or (c), other than testing 

facilities, that have undergone 

relicensing using the guidance in 

NUREG–1537, Part 2, ‘‘Guidelines for 

Preparing and Reviewing Applications 

for the Licensing of Non-Power 

Reactors: Standard Review Plan and 

Acceptance Criteria,’’ are eligible to 

receive a non-expiring license without 

again renewing the current license. 

Therefore, consistent with the NPUF LR 

Rule and pursuant to Sections 104, 

161b, 161i, 161o, 182, and 187 of the 

AEA and the Commission’s regulations 

in 10 CFR 2.202, ‘‘Orders,’’ and 10 CFR 

part 50, it is hereby ordered that the 

language regarding expiration in the 

licenses for such NPUFs is modified to 

state: ‘‘This license is effective as of the 

date of its issuance and has no fixed 

term.’’ The NPUFs with licenses that are 

affected by this modification are 

identified in the Attachment to this 

Order by a ‘‘Yes’’ in the ‘‘Non-Expiring 

License Modification’’ column of the 

Attachment. Existing NPUFs licensed 

under 10 CFR 50.21(a) or (c), other than 

testing facilities, for which an 

application for license renewal is 

pending before the NRC are not affected 

by this Order; instead, if the NRC 

concludes that the application meets the 

standard for issuing a renewed license, 

then the NRC would issue a nonexpiring renewed license. 

The NPUF LR Rule added new 10 

CFR 50.71(e)(4)(ii), which states, in part, 

that NPUF licensees shall file an FSAR 

update no more than 5 years from the 

date of the submittal of the updated 

FSAR required by 10 CFR 50.71(e)(3)(iv) 

or ‘‘by order.’’ The NPUF LR Rule 

explained that, consistent with this 

regulation, the NRC will issue orders to 

existing NPUF licensees, other than 

those with an application for license 

renewal pending before the NRC, 

dictating when their initial FSAR 

update will be due to the NRC, after 

which they will be subject to the new 

requirement in 10 CFR 50.71(e)(4)(ii) to 

submit subsequent FSAR updates. 

Accordingly, it is further ordered that 

each NPUF licensee listed in the 

Attachment to this Order file an initial 

FSAR update for their facility by the 

date specified in the ‘‘Initial FSAR 

Update Due Date’’ column of the 

Attachment. However, upon written 

application and for good cause shown, 

such date may be extended by order. As 

required by 10 CFR 50.71(e)(4)(ii), each 

submittal must reflect all changes made 

to the FSAR up to a maximum of 6 

months prior to the date of filing the 

submittal and the licensee shall file 

subsequent updates no more than 5 

years from the date of the previous 

submittal. For existing NPUFs for which 

an application for license renewal is 

pending before the NRC, 10 CFR 

50.71(e)(3)(iv) regarding initial FSAR 

updates will apply upon any issuance of 

the renewed license. 

This Order is effective upon issuance. 

IV 

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.202, a 

licensee must, and any other person 

adversely affected by this Order may, 

submit a written answer to this Order 

under oath or affirmation within 20 

days of its publication in the Federal 

Register. The licensee answer may 

consent to the Order and be submitted 

to the NRC in accordance with 10 CFR 

50.4. In addition, a licensee and any 

other person adversely affected by this 

Order may request a hearing on this 

Order within 20 days of its publication 

in the Federal Register. Where good 

cause is shown, consideration will be 

given to extending the time to answer or 

request a hearing. A request for such an 

extension of time must be made in 

writing to the Director, Office of Nuclear 

Reactor Regulation, U.S. Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission, Washington, 

DC 20555, and include a statement of 

good cause for the extension. All 

documents filed in NRC adjudicatory 

proceedings, including documents filed 

by an interested State, local 

governmental body, Federally 

recognized Indian Tribe, or designated 

agency thereof that requests to 

participate under 10 CFR 2.315, 

‘‘Participation by a person not a party,’’ 

paragraph (c), must be filed in 

accordance with 10 CFR 2.302, ‘‘Filing 

of documents.’’ The E-Filing process 

requires participants to submit and 

serve all adjudicatory documents over 

the internet, or in some cases, to mail 

copies on electronic storage media, 

unless an exemption permitting an 

alternative filing method, as further 

discussed, is granted. Detailed guidance 

on electronic submissions is located in 

the ‘‘Guidance for Electronic 

Submissions to the NRC’’ (Agencywide 

Documents Access and Management 

System Accession No. ML13031A056), 

and on the NRC’s public website at 

https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html. 

To comply with the procedural 

requirements of E-Filing, at least 10 

days prior to the filing deadline, the 

participant should contact the Office of 

the Secretary by email at 

Hearing.Docket@nrc.gov, or by 

telephone at 301–415–1677, to (1) 

request a digital identification (ID) 

certificate, which allows the participant 

(or its counsel or representative) to 

digitally sign submissions and access 

the E-Filing system for any proceeding 

in which it is participating; and (2) 

advise the Secretary that the participant 

will be submitting a petition or other 

adjudicatory document (even in 

instances in which the participant, or its 

counsel or representative, already holds 

an NRC-issued digital ID certificate). 

Based upon this information, the 

Secretary will establish an electronic 

docket for the proceeding if the 

Secretary has not already established an 

electronic docket. 

Information about applying for a 

digital ID certificate is available on the 

NRC’s public website at https://

www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/ 

getting-started.html. After a digital ID 

certificate is obtained and a docket 

created, the participant must submit 

adjudicatory documents in Portable 

Document Format. Guidance on 

submissions is available on the NRC’s 

public website at https://www.nrc.gov/ 

site-help/electronic-sub-ref-mat.html. A 

filing is considered complete at the time 

the document is submitted through the 

NRC’s E-Filing system. To be timely, an 

electronic filing must be submitted to 

the E-Filing system no later than 11:59 

p.m. eastern time (ET) on the due date. 

Upon receipt of a transmission, the EFiling system timestamps the document 

and sends the submitter an email 

confirming receipt of the document. The 

E-Filing system also distributes an email 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 28 / Wednesday, February 12, 2025 / Notices 9439 

that provides access to the document to 

the NRC’s 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 need not serve the document on 

those participants separately. Therefore, 

participants (or their counsel or 

representative) must apply for and 

receive a digital ID certificate before 

adjudicatory documents are filed to 

obtain access to the documents via the 

E-Filing system. 

A person filing electronically using 

the NRC’s adjudicatory E-Filing system 

may seek assistance by contacting the 

NRC’s Electronic Filing Help Desk 

through the ‘‘Contact Us’’ link located 

on the NRC’s public website at https:// 

www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html, by email to 

MSHD.Resource@nrc.gov, or by a tollfree call at 1–866–672–7640. The NRC 

Electronic Filing Help Desk is available 

between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., ET, Monday 

through Friday, except Federal holidays. 

Participants who believe that they 

have good cause for not submitting 

documents electronically must file an 

exemption request, in accordance with 

10 CFR 2.302(g), with their initial paper 

filing stating why there is good cause for 

not filing electronically and requesting 

authorization to continue to submit 

documents in paper format. Such filings 

must be submitted in accordance with 

10 CFR 2.302(b)–(d). Participants filing 

adjudicatory documents in this manner 

are responsible for serving their 

documents on all other participants. 

Participants granted an exemption 

under 10 CFR 2.302(g)(2) must still meet 

the electronic formatting requirement in 

10 CFR 2.302(g)(1), unless the 

participant also seeks and is granted an 

exemption from 10 CFR 2.302(g)(1). 

Documents submitted in adjudicatory 

proceedings will appear in the NRC’s 

electronic hearing docket, which is 

publicly available at https://

adams.nrc.gov/ehd, unless excluded 

pursuant to an order of the presiding 

officer. If you do not have an NRCissued digital ID certificate as 

previously described, click ‘‘cancel’’ 

when the link requests certificates and 

you will be automatically directed to the 

NRC’s electronic hearing docket where 

you will be able to access any publicly 

available documents in a particular 

hearing docket. Participants are 

requested not to include personal 

privacy information such as social 

security numbers, home addresses, or 

personal phone numbers in their filings 

unless an NRC regulation or other law 

requires submission of such 

information. With respect to 

copyrighted works, except for limited 

excerpts that serve the purpose of the 

adjudicatory filings and would 

constitute a Fair Use application, 

participants should not include 

copyrighted materials in their 

submission. 

If a person other than a licensee 

requests a hearing, that person shall set 

forth with particularity the manner in 

which their interest is adversely affected 

by this Order and shall address the 

criteria set forth in 10 CFR 2.309(d) and 

(f). 

If a hearing is requested by a licensee 

or a person whose interest is adversely 

affected, the Commission will issue an 

order designating the time and place of 

any hearings. If a hearing is held, the 

issue to be considered at such hearing 

shall be whether this Order should be 

sustained. In the absence of any request 

for hearing, or written approval of an 

extension of time in which to request a 

hearing, the provisions specified in 

Section III shall be final 20 days from 

the date this Order is published in the 

Federal Register without further order 

or proceedings. If an extension of time 

for requesting a hearing has been 

approved, the provisions specified in 

Section III shall be final when the 

extension expires if a hearing request 

has not been received.
