NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket No. 40–8027]

Sequoyah Fuels Corporation

[License No. SUB–1010]

Receipt of Petition for Director’s

Decision Under 10 CFR 2.206

Notice is hereby given that by the

‘‘Native Americans for a Clean

Environment’s Petition for an Order

Requiring Sequoyah Fuels Corporation

to File a Final Site Characterization Plan

and for an Order Forbidding Transfer of

SFC Property Prior to Obtaining a

License Amendment,’’ dated March 11,

1995, the Native Americans for a Clean

Environment (NACE or Petitioner)

request that the Nuclear Regulatory

Commission take action with regard to

Sequoyah Fuels Corporation (SFC or

Licensee).

Petitioner requests that the NRC: (1)

Reverse the NRC staff’s decision to

permit SFC to proceed with site

characterization without submitting a

revised Final Site Characterization Plan

(SCP) by issuing an order requiring SFC

to submit a revised Final SCP, or at the

minimum a Confirmatory Action Letter

requiring SFC to submit a Final SCP by

a date certain; (2) issue an order

forbidding SFC, Sequoyah Fuels

International, Sequoyah Holding

Corporation, or any other associated

corporation that holds title to property

under License SUB–1010, from

transferring any interest in any of its

property before SFC applies for and

receives a license amendment

permitting such a transfer; (3) before

issuing any such license amendment,

find reasonable assurance that any

entity acquiring an interest in the SFC

property fully understands the nature of

the liabilities and responsibilities it is

undertaking for cleanup and long-term

care of the site and that it has the

financial capability to carry out those

responsibilities; and (4) obtain or

perform a title search of all property

used in connection with the SFC license

in order to clarify the identity and

ownership of all property subject to

License SUB–1010.

As the bases for its requests,

Petitioner states that: (1) Given the

serious deficiencies found by the staff in

its review of the SFC Draft SCP, the NRC

staff illegally and improperly excused

SFC from its obligation to submit a final

SCP, in violation of the Timeliness in

Decommissioning Rule, the NRC’s

Action Plan to Ensure Timely Cleanup

of SDMP Sites, the NRC’s December 29,

1992, Demand for Information to SFC,

the Memorandum of Understanding

between the NRC and the

Environmental Protection Agency, and

commitments by the NRC to NACE that

SFC would be required to demonstrate

how it would sample all potentially

contaminated areas in a site

characterization plan; (2) SFC is

presenting a ‘‘Trust Indenture’’ to

several towns and the county of

Sequoyah for the creation of an

industrial park; (3) the Trust Indenture

depicts the 1400 acres of land subject to

License SUB–1010 as the candidate area

for the industrial park, but neither the

Trust Indenture nor the associated

documents refers to actual or potential

contamination of the site due to

groundwater migration from the

contaminated processing area, of

effluent streams and ditches, or of the

Carlisle School, the need to obtain a

license amendment before transferring

this property, the transferee’s potential

liability for cleanup of the property, or

that SFC has been ordered by NRC and

EPA to characterize the extent of

contamination on this property; (4) the

1400 acres subject to the Trust

Indenture surrounds the 85-acre

processing area SFC has identified as

the major focus of its site

characterization and cleanup effort; and

(5) SFC has made conflicting

representations regarding the size of the

‘‘facility’’ or ‘‘site’’ to the NRC and in

the Trust Indenture.

The Petition is being evaluated

pursuant to 10 CFR 2.206 of the

Commission’s regulations. The Petition

has been referred to the Director of the

Office of Nuclear Material Safety and

Safeguards. As provided by § 2.206,

appropriate action will be taken on this

Petition within a reasonable time.

A copy of the Petition is available for

inspection at the Commission’s Public

Document Room at 2120 L Street NW.,

Washington, DC 20555.

Dated at Rockville, Maryland this 10th day

of May, 1995.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Carl J. Paperiello,

Director, Office of Nuclear Material Safety

and Safeguards.

BILLING CODE 7590–01–M

[Docket Nos. 50–277 and 50–278]

Notice of Consideration of Issuance of

Amendment to Facility Operating

License and Opportunity for a Hearing

In the matter of Philadelphia Electric

Company, Public Service Electric and Gas

Company, Delmarva Power and Light

Company, Atlantic City Electric Company,

Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2

and 3.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (the Commission) is

considering issuance of an amendment

to Facility Operating License Nos. DPR–

44 and DPR–56, issued to the

Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO,

the licensee), for operation of the Peach

Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2

and 3 (Peach Bottom, PBAPS), located

in York County, Pennsylvania.

The proposed amendment, requested

by the licensee in a letter dated

September 29, 1994, as supplemented

by letters dated March 3, 1995 and

March 30, 1995, would represent a full

conversion from the current Technical

Specifications (TS) to a set of TS based

on NUREG–1433, ‘‘Standard Technical

Specifications, General Electric Plants,

BWR/4,’’ Revision O, September 1992.

NUREG–1433 has been developed

through working groups composed of

both NRC staff members and the BWR/

4 owners and has been endorsed by the

staff as part of an industry-wide

initiative to standardize and improve

TS. As part of this submittal, the

licensee has applied the criteria

contained in the Commission’s Final

Policy Statement on Technical

Specification Improvements for Nuclear

Power Reactors of July 22, 1993 to the

current Peach Bottom Technical

Specifications, and, using NUREG–1433

as a basis, developed a proposed set of

improved TS for PBAPS.

The licensee has categorized the

proposed changes to the existing TS into

four general groupings. These groupings

are characterized as administrative

changes, relocated changes, more
