SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

By letter dated August 8, 2008, (the 

Application), Nuclear Fuel Services, 

Inc., (NFS or the licensee) requested the 

consent of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC or the Commission), 

to the indirect transfer of Special 

Nuclear Materials License No. SNM–124 

(SNM–124) to NOG-Erwin Holdings, 

Inc., and approval of a conforming 

amendment to SNM–124. The need for 

the requested consent arises from the 

sale by NFS Services, LLC, (‘‘NFS 

Services’’) to NOG-Erwin Holdings, Inc., 

(‘‘NOG’’) of NFS Services’ entire interest 

in Nuclear Fuel Services, Inc. (the 

‘‘Transaction’’). Included in the 

Transaction, as more fully described in 

the application, is the transfer by NFS 

Services of 100% of the stock of NFS 

Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation 

and its wholly-owned subsidiary, 

Nuclear Fuel Services, Inc. a Delaware 

corporation which is the holder of the 

License, to NOG-Erwin Holdings, Inc. 

(‘‘NOG’’), a newly-formed subsidiary of 

Babcock & Wilcox Nuclear Operations 

Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, 

which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of 

BWX Technologies, Inc., a Delaware 

corporation, which in turn is a whollyowned subsidiary of The Babcock & 

Wilcox Company, a Delaware 

corporation. The Transaction, if 

approved, will result in the indirect 

change of control of NFS, the holder of 

the License, from NFS Services to NOG. 

NFS is the holder of SNM–124, which 

authorizes NFS to receive, possess, and 

use special nuclear material for the 

research, fabrication and assembly of 

nuclear fuel and related components at 

its facilities located in Erwin, 

Tennessee. 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. SNM–124 applies to product 

processing operations, laboratory 

operations, general services operations, 

research and development operations, 

and waste treatment and disposal 

operations located in Unicoi County, 

Tennessee. 

Pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Section 

2.1301, the Commission is noticing in 

the Federal Register the receipt of the 

Application for approval of the transfer 

of SNM–124 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 SNM–124 from NFS to NOG-Erwin 

Holdings, Inc. An amendment to the 

existing license would follow the 

issuance of the order. According to the 

Application, NOG-Erwin Holdings, Inc., 

would acquire ownership of the NFS 

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 NFS, Inc., in Section 1.1 

and Appendix D to Chapter 1 of the 

license with references to NFS 

Holdings, Inc.; NOG-Erwin Holdings, 

Inc.; and Babcock & Wilcox Nuclear 

Operations Group, Inc., to reflect the 

transfer, if approved by the 

Commission. 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 70.36, no license, 

or any right there under, shall be 

transferred, assigned or in any manner 

disposed of, either voluntarily or 

involuntarily, directly or indirectly, 

through the transfer of control of any 

license to any person unless the 

Commission shall after securing full 

information, find that the transfer is in 

accordance with the provisions of the 

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, 

and shall give 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 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 SNM–124. 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 

criteria, 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–124. 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.
