the parties to the labor-management
disputes in the airline industry must
have a procedure for the resolution of
disputes involving the interpretation or
application of provisions of the

board of adjustment or arbitration
boards as the mechanism for resolution
and is silent as to how the neutral
arbitrator is to be selected if the parties
are unable to agree on an individual.
The National Mediation Board provides
panels of arbitrators to help the parties
in their selection of an arbitrator.

Abstract: Section 153, Second, of the
Railway Labor Act, 45 U.S.C. 153,
Second, governs procedures to be
followed by carriers and representatives
of employees in the establishment and
functioning of special adjustment
boards. These special adjustment boards
are referred to as public law boards
(board). The statute provides that within
thirty (30) days from the date a written
request is made by an employee
representative or carrier official for the
establishment of a board, an agreement
establishing such board shall be made.
If, however, one party fails to designate
a member of the board, the party making
the request may ask the NMB to
designate a member on behalf of the
other party. The NMB must designate
the representative who, together with
the other party constitutes the public
board. It will be the task of these two
individuals to decide on the terms of the
agreement. If these individuals are
unable to decide upon the terms, the
Railway Labor Act provides that one of
these parties may request that the NMB
designate a neutral to resolve the
remaining matters which are procedural
issues. Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 1207.2,
requests for the NMB to appoint either
representatives or neutrals must be
made on printed forms which may be
secured from the NMB.
This form is necessary for the NMB to

Notice of Acceptance for Docketing of
the Application and Notice of
Opportunity for Hearing Regarding
Renewal of Facility Operating License
No. DPR–72 for an Additional 20-Year
Period; Florida Power Corporation;
Crytstal River Unit 3 Nuclear
Generating Plant
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC or the Commission)
is considering an application for the
renewal of operating license DPR–72,
which authorizes Florida Power
Corporation, to operate the Crystal River
Unit 3 Nuclear Generating Plant (CR–3)
at 2609 megawatts thermal. The
renewed license would authorize the
applicant to operate CR–3 for an
additional 20 years beyond the period
specified in the current license. CR–3 is
located approximately 35 miles
southwest of Ocala, FL and its current
operating license expires on December
3, 2016.

Florida Power Corporation submitted
the application dated December 16,
2008, pursuant to Title 10, Part 54, of
the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR
Part 54), to renew operating license
DPR–72 for CR–3. A notice of receipt
and availability of the license renewal
application (LRA) was published in the
Federal Register on February 4, 2009
(74 FR 6060).
The Commission’s staff has
determined that Florida Power
Corporation has submitted sufficient
information in accordance with 10 CFR
Sections 2.101, 54.19, 54.21, 54.22,
54.23, 51.45, and 51.53(c), to enable the
staff to undertake a review of the
application, and the application is
therefore acceptable for docketing. The
current Docket No. 50–302, for
operating license DPR–72, will be
retained. The determination to accept
the license renewal application for
docketing does not constitute a
determination that a renewed license
should be issued, and does not preclude
the NRC staff from requesting additional
information as the review proceeds.
Before issuance of the requested
renewed license, the NRC will have
made the findings required by the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (the Act), as
amended, and the Commission’s rules
and regulations. In accordance with 10
CFR 54.29, the NRC may issue a
renewed license on the basis of its
review if it finds that actions have been
identified and have been or will be
taken with respect to: (1) Managing the
effects of aging during the period of
extended operation on the functionality
of structures and components that have
been identified as requiring aging
management review; and (2) timelimited aging analyses that have been
identified as requiring review, such that
there is reasonable assurance that the
activities authorized by the renewed
license will continue to be conducted in
accordance with the current licensing
basis (CLB), and that any changes made
to the plant’s CLB will comply with the
Act and the Commission’s regulations.
Additionally, in accordance with 10
CFR 51.95(c), the NRC will prepare an
environmental impact statement that is
a supplement to the Commission’s
NUREG–1437, ‘‘Generic Environmental
Impact Statement for License Renewal
of Nuclear Power Plants,’’ dated May
1996. In considering the LRA, the
Commission must find that the
applicable requirements of Subpart A of
10 CFR Part 51 have been satisfied, and
that matters raised under 10 CFR 2.335
have been addressed. Pursuant to 10
CFR 51.26, and as part of the
environmental scoping process, the staff
intends to hold public scoping
