SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Introduction The NRC has received, by letter dated February 8, 2017, a license renewal application (LRA) from Honeywell International Inc. (Honeywell or the applicant) for its Metropolis Works (MTW) facility, located in Metropolis, Illinois. Honeywell is the holder of a source materials license (Number SUB– 526), issued by the NRC pursuant to part 40 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR). Originally issued on December 17, 1958, the license has been renewed many times, most recently on May 11, 2007. License SUB– 526 authorizes Honeywell’s MTW facility to convert uranium ore into pure uranium hexafluoride, via the dry conversion process, for use in enrichment operations. In its LRA, Honeywell requests a renewed license term of 40 years. An administrative review, documented in a letter to Honeywell dated May 2, 2017, found the LRA acceptable to begin a formal technical review. If the LRA is approved, the NRC will need to make the findings required by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the NRC’s regulations. These findings will be documented in a safety evaluation report and an environmental assessment. II. Opportunity To Request a Hearing and Petition for Leave To Intervene Within 60 days after the date of publication of this notice, any persons (petitioner) whose interest may be affected by this action may file a request E:\FR\FM\19JNN1.SGM 19JNN1
