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 of the

petitioner’s right under the Act to be

made 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 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 specificity

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 the 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

those 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.

If a hearing is requested, the

Commission will make a final

determination on the issue of no

significant hazards consideration. The

final determination will serve to decide

when the hearing is held.

If the final determination is that the

amendment request involves no

significant hazards consideration, the

Commission may issue the amendment

and make it immediately effective,

notwithstanding the request for a

hearing. Any hearing held would take

place after issuance of the amendment.

If the final determination is that the

amendment request involves a

significant hazards consideration, any

hearing held would take place before

the issuance of any amendment.

A request for a hearing or a petition

for leave to intervene must be filed with

the Secretary of the Commission, U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission,

Washington, DC 20555, Attention:

Docketing and Services Branch, or may

be delivered to the Commission’s Public

Document Room, the Gelman Building,

2120 L Street NW., Washington, DC, by

the above date. Where petitions are filed

during the last 10 days of the notice

period, it is requested that the petitioner

promptly so inform the Commission by

a toll-free telephone call to Western

Union at 1–(800) 248–5100 (In Missouri

1–(800) 342–6700). The Western Union

Identification Number N1023 and the

following message addressed to Herbert

N. Berkow: petitioner’s name and

telephone number, date petition was

mailed, plant name, and publication

date and page number of this Federal

Nontimely filings of petitions for

leave to intervene, amended petitions,

supplemental petitions and/or requests

for hearing will not be entertained

absent a determination by the

Commission, the presiding officer or the

Board that the petition and/or request

should be granted based upon a

balancing of the factors specified in 10

CFR 2.714(a)(1)(i)–(v) and 2.714(d).

Inc. a combined source and byproduct

material license and minerals operating

leases for Federal and Indian lands for

the ISL project. Comments received on

the DEIS will be addressed in the Final

Environmental Impact Statement, to be

published at a future date.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC,

in cooperation with the BLM and the

BIA, has prepared a DEIS regarding the

administrative action of authorizing

Hydro Resources, Inc. (HRI), to conduct

in-situ leach uranium mining, also

known as solution mining, in

compliance with a combined source and

byproduct material license issued by the

NRC, and minerals operating leases

issued for Federal and Indian lands by

the BLM and BIA. The license and

leases would provide programmatic and

regulatory oversight in administrative

matters; impose operating restrictions

and license conditions, as appropriate;

and specify environmental monitoring,

recordkeeping, and reporting

requirements. The DEIS describes the

evaluation by the interagency review

group concerning (1) the purpose of and

need for the proposed action, evaluated

under NEPA and the agencies’

implementing regulations, (2)

alternatives considered, (3) existing

environmental conditions, and (4)

environmental consequences of the

proposed action and proposed

mitigating measures. This DEIS

concludes, after weighing the

environmental, and other benefits of the

proposed project against the

environmental and other costs, that the

appropriate action is to issue the

requested license and leases authorizing

the applicant to proceed with the

project as discussed in this DEIS.

A Notice of Availability and Notice of

Opportunity for Hearing were published

previously (59 FR 56557, November 14,

1994). The notice offered members of

the public an opportunity to comment

upon the DEIS and to request an

adjudicatory hearing on the licensing

application. The closing date for

requesting an Opportunity for Hearing

on the pending licensing action expired

on December 14, 1994; the date for

submitting public comments on the

DEIS originally expired on January 7,

1995. Several requests were received by

the NRC to extend the 60-day public

comment period. The NRC acceded to

these requests and extended the

comment period from January 7, 1995 to

February 28, 1995.

The purpose of this notice is to inform

the public that three public meetings

will be held at the Chapter Houses in

Crownpoint and Church Rock, New

Mexico for the purpose of receiving

comments on this DEIS. Written

comments must be received by February

28, 1995. Comments received after this

date will be considered to the extent

practical. Any interested party may

submit comments on this document for

consideration by the staff.
