Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 149 / Friday, August 1, 2008 / Notices 45089 

herein, will not affect the qualifications 

of EN-FitzPatrick as holder of the 

FitzPatrick license. The indirect transfer 

of control of the license is otherwise 

consistent with applicable provisions of 

law, regulations, and orders issued by 

the NRC. Furthermore, the NRC staff 

concludes that the proposed corporate 

restructuring involving new 

intermediate and ultimate parent 

companies over ENO, as described 

herein, will not affect the qualifications 

of ENO as holder of the FitzPatrick 

license. The indirect transfer of control 

of the license as held by ENO, to the 

extent affected by the proposed 

restructuring, is otherwise consistent 

with applicable provisions of law, 

regulations, and orders issued by the 

Commission. 

The NRC staff concludes that the 

conversion of Entergy Nuclear 

Operations, Inc. to EquaGen Nuclear, 

LLC would not constitute a direct 

transfer of the licenses to the extent held 

by ENO. Therefore, no consent to the 

proposed conversion is necessary. 

The findings set forth above are 

supported by the NRC’s safety 

evaluation dated July 28, 2008. 

III 

Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 

161b, 161i, 161o, and 184 of the Atomic 

Energy Act of 1954, as amended, 42 

U.S.C. 2201(b), 2201(i), 2201(o), and 

2234; and 10 CFR 50.80, It is hereby 

ordered that the application regarding 

the indirect license transfer discussed 

above related to the proposed corporate 

restructuring and establishment of 

Enexus is approved, subject to the 

following conditions: 

(1) EN-FitzPatrick shall enter into the 

$700 million Support Agreement with 

Enexus Energy Corporation as described 

in the application, no later than the time 

the proposed transactions and indirect 

license transfer occurs. EN-FitzPatrick 

shall take no action to cause Enexus 

Energy Corporation, or its successors 

and assigns, to void, cancel, or modify 

the Support Agreement or cause it to fail 

to perform, or impair its performance 

under the Support Agreement, without 

prior written consent of the NRC. The 

Support Agreement may not be 

amended or modified without 30 days 

prior written notice to the Director of 

the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation 

or his designee. An executed copy of the 

Support Agreement shall be submitted 

to the NRC no later than 30 days after 

the completion of the proposed 

transactions and the indirect license 

transfer. EN-FitzPatrick shall inform the 

NRC in writing anytime it draws upon 

the Support Agreement. 

(2) The ten separate support 

guarantees from various Entergy 

subsidiaries, which total $315 million, 

including the support guarantee relating 

to FitzPatrick, may be revoked when, 

and conditioned upon, implementation 

of the new $700 million Support 

Agreement at the time the proposed 

restructuring and indirect license 

transfer are completed. 

(3) Should the proposed corporate 

restructuring and establishment of 

Enexus not be completed within one 

year from the date of this Order, this 

Order shall become null and void, 

provided, however, upon written 

application and good cause shown, such 

date may be extended by Order. 

This Order is effective upon issuance. 

For further details with respect to this 

Order, see the application dated July 30, 

2007, as supplemented by letters dated

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

By letters dated November 14 and 

December 10, 2007, January 7 (two 

letters), January 11, February 15, and 

February 29, 2008, and e-mails dated 

December 12 (three e-mails) and 

December 13, 2007 (two e-mails), and 

January 9, and January 14, 2008 

(collectively the Application), BWX 

Technologies, Inc., Nuclear Products 

Division (BWXT or the licensee) 

requested approval, by the U.S. Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission (NRC or the 

Commission), of the transfer of Special 

Nuclear Materials License No. SNM–42 

to Babcock & Wilcox Nuclear 

Operations Group, Inc. (B&W NOG). 

B&W NOG is a Delaware Corporation 

that was created on November 20, 2007, 

as a wholly-owned subsidiary of 

Babcock & Wilcox Investment Company, 

Inc. The requested transfer action would 

result in a transfer of control of Special 

Nuclear Materials License No. SNM–42 

from BWXT to B&W NOG. 

BWXT is the holder of Special 

Nuclear Materials License No. SNM–42, 

which authorizes BWXT to receive, 

possess, and use special nuclear 

material and irradiated fuel (spent 

nuclear fuel) for the research, 

fabrication and assembly of nuclear fuel 

and related components at its facilities 

located in the Lynchburg, Virginia area. 

The license provides, among other 

things, that the facilities are subject to 

all rules, regulations, and orders of the 

NRC, now or hereafter in effect. Special 

Nuclear Materials License No. SNM–42 

applies to the BWXT fuel manufacturing 

facilities, the research facility known as 

the Lynchburg Technology Center 

(LTC), the waste treatment facility, and 

the uranium storage facilities located in 

Campbell County, Virginia. 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.1301, the 

Commission is noticing in the Federal 

Register the receipt of the Application 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

45090 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 149 / Friday, August 1, 2008 / Notices 

for approval of the transfer of Special 

Nuclear Materials License No. SNM–42 

because it involves a major fuel cycle 

facility licensed under 10 CFR part 70. 

The NRC is considering the issuance of 

an order pursuant to 10 CFR 70.36, 

authorizing the transfer of control of 

Special Nuclear Materials License No. 

SNM–42 from BWXT to B&W NOG. An 

amendment to the existing license 

would follow the issuance of the order. 

According to the BWXT Application, a 

newly formed entity, namely B&W 

NOG, would acquire ownership of the 

BWXT Virginia facilities and upon 

approval of the license transfer would 

be the licensee responsible for operating 

and maintaining them. The Application 

does not propose any physical changes 

to the facilities or other changes. 

The amendment would replace 

references to BWXT, Inc., in the license, 

with references to B&W NOG, to reflect 

the transfer, if approved by the 

Commission. 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 70.36, no license, 

or any right thereunder, shall be 

transferred, assigned in any manner, 

disposed of, either voluntarily or 

involuntarily, directly or indirectly, 

through the transfer of control of the 

license, to any person, unless the 

Commission, after securing full 

information, finds that the transfer is in 

accordance with the provisions of the 

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, 

and gives its consent in writing. The 

Commission will approve an 

application for the transfer of a license 

and authorize the transfer of the license 

through the issuance of an order, if it is 

determined that the proposed transferee 

is qualified to hold the license and that 

the transfer is otherwise consistent with 

applicable provisions of law, 

regulations, and orders issued by the 

Commission pursuant thereto. 

An NRC administrative review, 

documented in a letter to BWXT dated 

March 19, 2008, found the application 

acceptable to begin a technical review. 

If the NRC issues an order, as described 

above, the approval of the above 

requested actions will be documented in 

a conforming amendment to Special 

Nuclear Materials License No. SNM–42. 

However, before issuing an order and 

approving the amendment, the NRC will 

need to make the findings required by 

the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as 

amended, and NRC regulations. These 

findings will be documented in a safety 

evaluation report. The license transfer 

request falls within the 10 CFR 

51.22(c)(21), categorical exclusion so no 

environmental review of the proposed 

action is required. 

II. Opportunity To Request a Hearing 

The NRC hereby provides notice that 

this is a proceeding regarding the 

consideration of the issuance of an order 

authorizing the transfer of control of 

Special Nuclear Materials License No. 

SNM–42. In accordance with the general 

requirements in Subpart C of 10 CFR 

part 2, as amended on January 14, 2004 

(69 FR 2182), any person whose interest 

may be affected by this proceeding and 

who desires to participate as a party 

must file a written request for a hearing 

and a specification of the contentions 

that the person seeks to have litigated in 

the hearing. 

A request for hearing or a petition for 

leave to intervene must be filed in 

accordance with the NRC E-Filing rule, 

which the NRC promulgated on 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. 

To comply with the procedural 

requirements of the E-Filing rule, at 

least ten (10) days prior to the filing 

deadline, the petitioner/requestor must 

contact the Office of the Secretary by email at HEARINGDOCKET@NRC.GOV, 

or by calling (301) 415–1677, to request: 

(1) A digital identification (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) the 

creation of an electronic docket for the 

proceeding [even in instances in which 

the petitioner/requestor (or its counsel 

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

petitioner/ requestor will need to 

download the Workplace Forms 

ViewerTM to access the Electronic 

Information Exchange (EIE), a 

component of the E-Filing system. The 

Workplace Forms ViewerTM is free and 

is available at http://www.nrc.gov/sitehelp/e-submittals/install-viewer.html. 

Instruction for applying for a digital ID 

certificate is available on the NRC’s 

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

site-help/e-submittals/applycertificates.html. 

Once a petitioner/requestor has 

obtained a digital ID certificate, has 

created a docket, and downloads the EIE 

viewer, he or she can then submit a 

request for hearing or petition for leave 

to intervene. Submissions should be in 

Portable Document Format (PDF), in 

accordance with NRC guidance that is 

available on the NRC public Web site at 

http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html. A filing is considered 

complete at the time the filer submits its 

documents through EIE. To be timely, 

an electronic filing must be submitted to 

the EIE system no later than 11:59 p.m. 

eastern time on the due date. Upon 

receipt of a transmission, the E-Filing 

system time-stamps the document and 

sends the submitter an e-mail notice 

confirming receipt of the document. The 

EIE system also distributes an e-mail 

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 need not 

serve the documents to each participant 

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 

technical help line, which is available 

between 8:30 a.m. and 4:15 p.m., eastern 

time, Monday through Friday. The help 

line number is (800) 397–4209 or 

locally, (301) 415–4737. 

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. 

Such filings must be submitted by: (1) 

First class mail addressed to the Office 

of the Secretary of the Commission, U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 

Washington, DC 20555–0001, Attention: 

Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff; or 

(2) courier, express mail, or expedited 

delivery service to the Office of the 

Secretary, Sixteenth Floor, One White 

Flint North, Rockville, Pike, Rockville, 

MD, 20852, Attention: Rulemaking and 

Adjudications Staff. Participants filing a 

document in this manner are 

responsible for serving the document to 

all other participants. Filing is 

considered complete by first-class mail 

as of the time of deposit in the mail, or 

by courier, express mail, or expedited 

delivery service upon depositing the 

document with the provider of the 

service. 

Non-timely requests and/or petitions 

and contentions will not be entertained 

absent a determination by the 

Commission, the presiding officer, or 

the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 149 / Friday, August 1, 2008 / Notices 45091 

that the petition and/or request should 

be granted and/or the contentions 

should be admitted based on a 

balancing of the factors specified in 10 

CFR 2.309(c)(1)(i)–(viii). To be timely, 

filings must be submitted no later than 

11:59 p.m. eastern time on the due date. 

Documents submitted in adjudicatory 

proceedings will appear in the NRC’s 

electronic hearing docket, which is 

available to the public at http:// 

ehd.nrc.gov/EHD_Proceeding/home.asp, 

unless excluded pursuant to an order by 

the Commission, an Atomic Safety and 

Licensing Board, or a presiding officer. 

Participants are requested not to include 

social security numbers in their filings. 

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 are requested 

not to include copyrighted materials in 

their submission. 

The formal requirements for 

documents contained in 10 CFR 

2.304(c)–(e) must be met. If the NRC 

grants an electronic document 

exemption in accordance with 10 CFR 

2.302(g)(3), then the requirements for 

paper documents, set forth in 10 CFR 

2.304(b) must be met. 

In addition to meeting other 

applicable requirements of 10 CFR 

2.309, the general requirements 

involving a request for a hearing filed by 

a person other than an applicant must 

state: 

1. The name, address, and telephone 

number of the requester; 

2. The nature of the requester’s right 

under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, 

as amended, to be made a party to the 

proceeding; 

3. The nature and extent of the 

requester’s property, financial or other 

interest in the proceeding; 

4. The possible effect of any decision 

or order that may be issued in the 

proceeding in the requester’s interest; 

and 

5. The circumstances establishing that 

the request for a hearing is timely in 

accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(b). 

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(f)(1), 

a request for hearing or petitions for 

leave to intervene must set forth, with 

particularity, the contentions sought to 

be raised. For each contention, the 

request or petition must: 

1. Provide a specific statement of the 

issue of law or fact to be raised or 

controverted; 

2. Provide a brief explanation of the 

basis for the contention; 

3. Demonstrate that the issue raised in 

the contention is within the scope of the 

proceeding; 

4. Demonstrate that the issue raised in 

the contention is material to the 

findings that the NRC must make to 

support the action that is involved in 

the proceeding; 

5. Provide a concise statement of the 

alleged facts or expert opinions that 

support the requester’s/petitioner’s 

position on the issue and on which the 

requester/petitioner intends to rely to 

support its position on the issue; and 

6. Provide sufficient information to 

show that a genuine dispute exists with 

the applicant on a material issue of law 

or fact. This information must include 

references to specific portions of the 

Application that the requester/petitioner 

disputes and the supporting reasons for 

each dispute, or, if the requester/ 

petitioner believes the Application fails 

to contain information on a relevant 

matter as required by law, the 

identification of each failure and the 

supporting reasons for the requester’s/ 

petitioner’s belief. 

In addition, in accordance with 10 

CFR 2.309(f)(2), contentions must be 

based on documents or other 

information available at the time the 

petition is to be filed, such as the 

Application, or other supporting 

documents filed by the licensee or 

otherwise available to the petitioner. 

Contentions may be amended or new 

contentions filed after the initial filing 

only with leave of the presiding officer. 

Requesters/petitioners should, when 

possible, consult with each other in 

preparing contentions and combine 

similar subject matter concerns into a 

joint contention, for which one of the 

co-sponsoring requesters/petitioners is 

designated the lead representative. 

Further, in accordance with 10 CFR 

2.309(f)(3), any requester/petitioner that 

wishes to adopt a contention proposed 

by another requester/petitioner must do 

so, in accordance with the E-Filing rule, 

within ten (10) days of the date the 

contention is filed, and designate a 

representative who shall have the 

authority to act for the requester/ 

petitioner. 

III. Written Comments

PRESIDIO TRUST 

Notice Extending Prescribed Comment 

Period 

AGENCY: The Presidio Trust. 

ACTION: Notice extending prescribed 

comment period. 

SUMMARY: By Federal Register notice of 

June 13, 2008 (73 FR 33814), the 

Environmental Protection Agency 

calculated the 45-day time period for 

public review of the Draft Supplemental 

Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS). 

The deadline for comments was July 31, 

2008. By this notice, the Presidio Trust 

(Trust) is extending the public comment 

period to September 19, 2008. Although 

the time for comments has been 

extended, the Trust requests that 

interested parties provide comments as 

soon as possible. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

submitted on or before September 19, 

2008. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be 

submitted to Main Post, Attn: 

Compliance Manager, The Presidio 

Trust, 34 Graham Street, P.O. Box 

29052, San Francisco, CA 94129–0052. 

Electronic comments can be sent to 

Mainpost@Presidiotrust.gov. Please be 

aware that all comments and 

information submitted will be made 

available to the public, including, 

without limitation, any postal address, 

e-mail address, phone number, or other

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act, the Trust is 

requesting public comment on the 

Presidio Trust Management Plan 

(PTMP) Main Post Update Draft SEIS. 

The Draft SEIS evaluates alternatives to 

the planning concept for the 120-acre 

Main Post district at the Presidio of San 

Francisco identified in the 2002 PTMP, 

the Trust’s comprehensive land use plan 

and policy framework. The Draft SEIS 

considers planning proposals that were 

not anticipated in the PTMP, including 

a contemporary art museum and a 

lodge, and identifies Alternative 2 as the 

proposed action, which is further 

described in the PTMP Main Post 

Update. 

Interested parties have requested that 

the Trust extend the public comment 

period. By extending the comment 

period, the Trust anticipates more indepth comments on the Draft SEIS, 

which will promote a better-informed 

decision on the proposed action. The 

PTMP Main Post Update and Draft SEIS 

can be reviewed at local libraries and 

the Trust headquarters at the address 

given above, and on the Trust Web site 

at http://www.Presidio.gov in the Major 

Projects section.

Office of Small and Disadvantaged 

Business Utilization (OSDBU); Notice 

of Request for Renewal of Data 

Collection by the Office of Small and 

Disadvantaged Business Utilization’s 

(OSDBU) Regional Small Business 

Transportation Resource Centers 

(SBTRCs); Agency Information 

Collection Activities; Request for 

Comments, Renewal and Approval of 

Information Collection(s): Regional 

Center Intake Form (DOT F 4500) and 

Regional Resource Center Monthly 

Report Form (DOT F 4502) 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Office of Small and 

Disadvantaged Business Utilization 

(OSDBU) invites the public to comment 

about our intention to request the Office 

of Management and Budget’s (OMB) 

approval to renew information 

collection forms, associated with 

OSDBU. The collection involves the use 

of the Regional Center Intake Form, 

(DOT F 4500) which documents the 

type of assistance provided to each 

small business that is enrolled in the 

program. 

The use of the Regional Resource 

Center Monthly Report Form, (DOT F 

4502) will highlight activities, such as 

counseling, marketing, meetings/ 

conferences, and services to businesses 

as completed during the month. The 

information will be used to ascertain 

whether the program is providing 

services to its constituency, the small 

business community, in a fair and 

equitable manner. The information 

collected is necessary to determine 

whether small businesses are 

participating in DOT funded and DOT 

assisted opportunities with the DOT. 

The Counseling Information Form, 

(DOT F 4640.1) has been eliminated and 

the information contained in that form 

is now consolidated into the Regional 

Resource Center Monthly Report Form 

(formerly titled Monthly Report of 

Operations Form). To eliminate 

duplication and to streamline the data 

collection process, OSDBU revised the 

Monthly Report of Operations Form into 

the Regional Resource Center Monthly 

Report Form. 

We are required to publish this notice 

in the Federal Register by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. On 

June 26, 2008, OSDBU published a 60- 

day notice in the Federal Register (73 

FR 36368) Docket #OST–2008–0182, 

informing the public of OSDBU’s 

intention to extend an approved 

information collection. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

submitted by: September 2, 2008 and 

submitted to the attention of the DOT/ 

OST Desk Officer, Office of Information 

and Regulatory Affairs, Office of 

Management and Budget, Docket 

library, Room 10102, 725 17th Street,
