Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 217 / Monday, November 10, 2014 / Notices 66753 

Secretary that the participant will be 

submitting a request or petition for 

hearing (even in instances in which the 

participant, or its counsel or 

representative, already holds an NRCissued digital ID certificate). Based upon 

this information, the Secretary will 

establish an electronic docket for the 

hearing in this proceeding if the 

Secretary has not already established an 

electronic docket. 

Information about applying for a 

digital ID certificate is available on 

NRC’s public Web site at http://

www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/

getting-started.html. System 

requirements for accessing the ESubmittal server are detailed in NRC’s 

‘‘Guidance for Electronic Submission,’’ 

which is available on the agency’s 

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

site-help/e-submittals.html. Participants 

may attempt to use other software not 

listed on the Web site, but should note 

that the NRC’s E-Filing system does not 

support unlisted software, and the NRC 

Meta System Help Desk will not be able 

to offer assistance in using unlisted 

software. 

If a participant is electronically 

submitting a document to the NRC in 

accordance with the E-Filing rule, the 

participant must file the document 

using the NRC’s online, Web-based 

submission form. In order to serve 

documents through the Electronic 

Information Exchange (EIE) System, 

users will be required to install a Web 

browser plug-in from the NRC’s Web 

site. Further information on the Webbased submission form, including the 

installation of the Web browser plug-in, 

is available on the NRC’s public Web 

site at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html. 

Once a participant has obtained a 

digital ID certificate and a docket has 

been created, the participant can then 

submit a request for hearing or petition 

for leave to intervene through the EIE. 

Submissions should be in Portable 

Document Format (PDF) in accordance 

with NRC guidance available on the 

NRC’s public Web site at http://

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

complete at the time the documents are 

submitted through the NRC’s E-Filing 

system. To be timely, an electronic 

filing must be submitted to the E-Filing 

system no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern 

Time (ET) on the due date. Upon receipt 

of a transmission, the E-Filing system 

time-stamps the document and sends 

the submitter an email notice 

confirming receipt of the document. The 

E-Filing system also distributes an email 

notice that provides access to the 

document to the NRC’s 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 on those 

participants separately. Therefore, any 

others who wish to participate in the 

proceeding (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 using 

the NRC’s adjudicatory E-Filing system 

may seek assistance by contacting the 

NRC Meta System Help Desk through 

the ‘‘Contact Us’’ link located on the 

NRC’s Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/

site-help/e-submittals.html, by email at 

MSHD.Resource@nrc.gov, or by a tollfree call at 1–866–672–7640. The NRC 

Meta System Help Desk is available 

between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., ET, 

Monday through Friday, excluding 

government holidays. 

Participants who believe that they 

have a good cause for not submitting 

documents electronically must, in 

accordance with 10 CFR 2.302(g), file an 

exemption request with their initial 

paper filing showing good cause as to 

why they cannot file electronically and 

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, 11555 Rockville Pike, 

Rockville, Maryland 20852, Attention: 

Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff. 

Participants filing a document in this 

manner are responsible for serving the 

document on all other participants. 

Filing is considered complete by firstclass 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. A presiding 

officer, having granted an exemption 

request from using E-Filing, may require 

a participant or party to use E-Filing if 

the presiding officer subsequently 

determines that the reason for granting 

the exemption from use of E-Filing no 

longer exists. 

Documents submitted in adjudicatory 

proceedings will appear in the NRC’s 

electronic hearing docket, which is 

available to the public at http://

ehd1.nrc.gov/ehd/, unless excluded 

pursuant to an order of the Commission 

or the presiding officer. Participants are 

requested not to include personal 

privacy information, such as social 

security numbers, home addresses, or 

home phone numbers in their filings, 

unless an NRC regulation or other law 

requires submission of such 

information. With respect to 

copyrighted works, participants are 

requested not to include copyrighted 

materials in their submission, except for 

limited excerpts that serve the purpose 

of the adjudicatory filings and would 

constitute a Fair Use application. 

If a person other than the licensee 

requests a hearing, that person shall set 

forth with particularity the manner in 

which his interest is adversely affected 

by this Confirmatory Order and shall 

address the criteria set forth in 10 CFR 

2.309(d) and (f). 

If a hearing is requested by a person 

whose interest is adversely affected, the 

Commission will issue a separate Order 

designating the time and place of any 

hearings, as appropriate. If a hearing is 

held, the issue to be considered at such 

hearing shall be whether this 

Confirmatory Order should be 

sustained. 

In the absence of any request for 

hearing, or written approval of an 

extension of time in which to request a 

hearing, the provisions specified in 

Section V above shall be effective and 

final 30 days after issuance of the 

Confirmatory Order without further 

order or proceedings. If an extension of 

time for requesting a hearing has been 

approved, the provisions specified in 

Section V shall be final when the 

extension expires if a hearing request 

has not been received. 

Dated at Lisle, Illinois, this 28th day of 

October, 2014. 

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. 

Darrell J. Roberts, 

Deputy Regional Administrator.

BILLING CODE 7590–01–P 

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[NRC–2014–0085] 

Information on Licensing Applications 

for Fracture Toughness Requirements 

for Ferritic Reactor Coolant Pressure 

Boundary Components 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Regulatory issue summary; 

issuance. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is issuing Regulatory 

Issue Summary (RIS) 2014–11, 

‘‘Information on Licensing Applications 

for Fracture Toughness Requirements 

for Ferritic Reactor Coolant Pressure 

Boundary Components.’’ This RIS 

provides guidance to applicants for, and 

holders of, nuclear power reactor 

licenses, construction permits, standard 

design approvals, and manufacturing 

licenses, and applicants for standard 

design certifications, on the scope and 

detail of information that should be 

provided in licensing applications 

regarding reactor vessel fracture 

toughness and associated pressuretemperature limits. The RIS explains 

that these entities should ensure that 

pressure-temperature limits developed 

in accordance with NRC requirements 

sufficiently address all ferritic materials 

of the reactor vessel, including the 

impact of structural discontinuities and 

neutron fluence accumulation. 

DATES: The RIS is available as of 

November 10, 2014.
