NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Dockets No.: 070-364, 70-3035]


Consideration of License Amendment Requests for the Babcock and 
Wilcox Facility and Shallow Land Disposal Area in Parks Township, PA, 
and Opportunity for a Hearing

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of consideration of license amendment requests for the 
Babcock and Wilcox Facility and Shallow Land Disposal Area in Parks 
Township, Pennsylvania, and opportunity for a hearing.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering 
issuance of license amendments to Special Nuclear Material License No. 
SNM-414 (SNM-414), and Special Nuclear License No. SNM-2001 (SNM-2001), 
both issued to Babcock and Wilcox Company, Pennsylvania Nuclear Service 
Operation (the license), to authorize amending condition 9, 
``Authorized Places of Use,'' of its SNM-414 License at its facility in 
Parks Township, Pennsylvania and of its SNM-2001 License at its Shallow 
Land Disposal Area (SLDA).
    The licensee has been decommissioning the site in accordance with 
the conditions discussed in SNM-414. On April 4, 2001, the licensee 
submitted a license amendment request for change of boundaries by 
adjusting and transferring two portions of the facility under SNM-414 
to a contiguous site under NRC license, SNM-2001, Shallow Land Disposal 
Area. Both sites are on the NRC's Site Decommissioning Management Plan 
and the SLDA is being assessed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for 
possible remediation under the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action 
Program.
    The NRC hereby provides notice that this is a proceeding on request 
for amendment of a license falling within the scope of Subpart L 
``Informal Hearing Procedures for Adjudication in Materials Licensing 
Proceedings,'' of NRC's rules and practice for domestic licensing 
proceedings in 10 CFR Part 2. Pursuant to Sec. 2.1205(a), any person 
whose interest may be affected by this proceeding may file a request 
for a hearing in accordance with Section 2.1205(c). A request for a 
hearing must be filed within thirty (30) days of the date of 
publication of this Federal Register notice.
    The request for a hearing must be filed with the Office of the 
Secretary either:
    1. By delivery to the Docketing and Service Branch of the Secretary 
at One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD 20852-
2738; or
    2. By mail or telegram addressed to the Secretary, U.S. Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555. Attention: Docketing and 
Service Branch.
    In addition to meeting other applicable requirements of 10 CFR Part 
2 of the NRC's regulations, a request for a hearing filed by a person 
other than an applicant must describe in detail:
    1. The interest of the requester in the proceeding;
    2. How that interest may be affected by the results of the 
proceeding, including the reasons why the requester should be permitted 
a hearing, with particular reference to the factors set out in 
Sec. 2.1205(g);
    3. The requester's area of concern about the licensing activity 
that is the subject matter of the proceeding; and
    4. The circumstances establishing that the request for a hearing is 
timely in accordance with Sec. 2.1205(c).
    In accordance with 10 CFR 2.1205(e), each request for a hearing 
must also be served by delivering it personally or by mail, to:
    1. The applicant, Babcock and Wilcox Company, R.D. 1, Box 355, 
Vandergrift, PA 15690, Attention Mr. Richard M. Bartosik; and
    2. The NRC staff, by delivery to the Executive Director for 
Operations, One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD 
20852, or by mail to the Executive Director for Operations, U.S. 
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555.
    For further details with respect to this action, the licensee 
request and plans are available for inspection at the NRC's Public 
Document Room, One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, 
MD, 20852.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 14th Day of May, 2001.
