NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket No. 040–08794]

Notice of Consideration of Amendment

Request for Molycorp, York, PA, Site

and Opportunity for a Hearing

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC) is considering

issuance of a license amendment to

Source Materials License SMB–1408

issued to Molycorp, Inc., (Molycorp), to

plug and abandon ground water

monitoring wells at the Molycorp, York,

PA, site. Several of these wells are

designated in the license and samples

are required to be drawn from these

designated wells biannually. Molycorp

has asserted that this action is needed

to begin cleanup activities in the areas

surrounding the wells. Molycorp has

committed to install new wells in the

same locations and screened at the same

intervals as the existing wells

designated in the license. Prior to

installing the new wells, Molycorp has

committed to confer with both NRC and

the Pennsylvania Department of

Environmental Protection to ensure that

the new well locations are satisfactory.

Molycorp expects to install the new

wells in August 2001 and to complete

biannual sampling for the year 2001 by

sampling the new wells twice before

year end. Molycorp’s request is

contained in a letter to NRC dated

January 29, 2001.

If the NRC approves this request, the

approval will be documented in a

license amendment to NRC License

SMB–1408. However, before approving

the proposed amendment, the NRC will

need to make the findings required by

the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as

amended, and NRC’s regulations. These

findings will be documented in a safety

evaluation report and either an

environmental assessment or a

determination of a categorical exclusion.

NRC hereby provides notice that this

is a proceeding on an application for an

amendment of a license falling within

the scope of Subpart L, ‘‘Informal

Hearing Procedures for Adjudication in

Materials Licensing Proceedings,’’ of

NRC’s rules of practice for domestic

licensing proceedings in 10 CFR Part 2.

Pursuant to § 2.1205(a), any person

whose interest may be affected by this

proceeding may file a request for a

hearing in accordance with § 2.1205(d).

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:
