ACTION: Notice of Termination of the Kerr-McGee Corporation (Kerr-McGee) Cushing Site Special Nuclear Materials (SNM) License, No. SNM–1999. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is noticing the termination of the Kerr-McGee Cushing Site SNM License, No. SNM–1999 (NRC Docket No. 70–03073), located in Cushing, Oklahoma. Background: The NRC granted SNM License SNM–1999 to Kerr-McGee for the Cushing site on April 6, 1993. The license authorized possession of uranium and thorium onsite in concentrations above background levels. The license enabled Kerr-McGee to possess contaminated soil, sludge, E:\FR\FM\30MYN1.SGM 30MYN1 jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES 30700 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 103 / Tuesday, May 30, 2006 / Notices sediment, trash, building rubble, structures, and any other contaminated material at the Cushing site during remediation and disposal activities. Kerr-McGee remediated the site under a consent order with the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality. Kerr-McGee submitted its Decommissioning Plan (DP) on August 17, 1998, and NRC approved the DP on August 20, 1999. The licensee conducted decommissioning activities at the Cushing site in accordance with the approved DP from January 2000 to June 2005. In accordance with the DP, the licensee conducted final status surveys (FSSs) to demonstrate that the facility and site meet the criteria for unrestricted release as stated in Condition 11(N) of SNM–1999. Details of the FSS results were submitted to the NRC in 15 separate FSS reports (FSSRs). Kerr-McGee also submitted a dose assessment demonstrating that the post remediation conditions at the site meet the unrestricted release criteria of 10 CFR part 20, subpart E. Kerr-McGee submitted a request for termination of its SNM License on June 15, 2005 (ML051680329), with revisions on May 11, 2006 (ML061380781). NRC conducted a number of independent confirmatory surveys to verify FSS results obtained and reported by the licensee. Confirmatory surveys consisted of surface scans for beta and gamma radiation, direct measurements for total beta activity, collection of smear samples for determining removable radioactivity levels, and collection and analysis of soil samples. The Commission has concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that: (i) The remaining dismantlement has been performed in accordance with the approved DP; (ii) The FSS and associated documentation demonstrate that the Cushing site meet the criteria for decommissioning and release of the site for unrestricted use that are stipulated in Condition 11(N) of SNM–1999. Further, FSSs demonstrated that the post-remediation condition of the site results in a dose less than the 25 mrem (millirem)/year (yr) unrestricted release criteria of 10 CFR part 20, subpart E; and (iii) Kerr-McGee has met the Part 70 requirements for forwarding of specific records to NRC prior to license termination. Therefore, the Commission is terminating SNM License No. SNM–1999.

DPR–24, DPR–27, DPR–42, and DPR–60, which authorize operation of the Point Beach Nuclear Plant (PBNP), Units 1 and 2, and the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP), Units 1 and 2. The licenses provide, among other things, that the facilities are subject to all rules, regulations, and orders of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, Commission) now or hereafter in effect. The PBNP facility consists of two pressurized-water reactors located in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, and the PINGP facility consists of two pressurized-water reactors located in Goodhue County, Minnesota. 2.0 Request/Action Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), section 50.71, ‘‘Maintenance of records, making of reports,’’ paragraph (e)(4) states, in part, ‘‘Subsequent revisions [to the updated PO 00000 Frm 00052 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR)] must be filed annually or 6 months after each refueling outage provided the interval between successive updates does not exceed 24 months.’’ When two units share a common FSAR, the rule has the effect of making the licensee update the FSAR about every 12 to 18 months. The current rule, as revised on August 31, 1992 (57 FR 39353), was intended to provide some reduction in regulatory burden by limiting the frequency of required updates. The burden reduction, however, can only be realized by single-unit facilities or multiple-unit facilities that maintain separate FSARs for each unit. For multiple-unit facilities with a common FSAR, the phrase ‘‘each refueling outage’’ increases rather than decreases the regulatory burden. While the NRC did not provide in the rule for multipleunit facilities sharing a common FSAR, it stated that, ‘‘[w]ith respect to the concern about multiple facilities sharing a common FSAR, licensees will have maximum flexibility for scheduling updates on a case-by-case basis’’ (57 FR 39355). PBNP and PINGP are two-unit sites, each site sharing a common updated FSAR 1. This rule requires the licensee to update the PBNP FSAR and PINGP FSAR annually or within 6 months after each unit’s refueling outage. In summary, the exemption from the requirements of 10 CFR 50.71(e)(4) would allow periodic updates of the PBNP and PINGP updated FSARs once per fuel cycle, within 6 months following completion of each PBNP, Unit 1, refueling outage and within 6 months of each PINGP, Unit 2, refueling outage, respectively, not to exceed 24 months from the last submittal for either site. 3.0 Discussion Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12, the Commission may, upon application by any interested person or upon its own initiative, grant exemptions from the requirements of 10 CFR part 50 when (1) the exemptions are authorized by law, will not present an undue risk to public health or safety, and are consistent with the common defense and security; and (2) when special circumstances are present. Section 50.12(a)(2)(ii) of 10 CFR states that special circumstances are present when ‘‘[a]pplication of the regulation in the particular circumstances would not serve the underlying purpose of the rule or is not necessary to achieve the underlying purpose of the rule.’’ The underlying 1 The updated FSAR at PINGP is called the Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR).

NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 70-03073, License No. SNM-1999]


Kerr-McGee Corporation; Notice of Termination of Kerr-McGee 
Cushing Site Special Nuclear Materials License No. SNM-1999

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of Termination of the Kerr-McGee Corporation (Kerr-
McGee) Cushing Site Special Nuclear Materials (SNM) License, No. SNM-
1999.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is noticing the 
termination of the Kerr-McGee Cushing Site SNM License, No. SNM-1999 
(NRC Docket No. 70-03073), located in Cushing, Oklahoma.
    Background: The NRC granted SNM License SNM-1999 to Kerr-McGee for 
the Cushing site on April 6, 1993. The license authorized possession of 
uranium and thorium onsite in concentrations above background levels. 
The license enabled Kerr-McGee to possess contaminated soil, sludge,

[[Page 30700]]

sediment, trash, building rubble, structures, and any other 
contaminated material at the Cushing site during remediation and 
disposal activities.
    Kerr-McGee remediated the site under a consent order with the 
Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality. Kerr-McGee submitted its 
Decommissioning Plan (DP) on August 17, 1998, and NRC approved the DP 
on August 20, 1999. The licensee conducted decommissioning activities 
at the Cushing site in accordance with the approved DP from January 
2000 to June 2005. In accordance with the DP, the licensee conducted 
final status surveys (FSSs) to demonstrate that the facility and site 
meet the criteria for unrestricted release as stated in Condition 11(N) 
of SNM-1999. Details of the FSS results were submitted to the NRC in 15 
separate FSS reports (FSSRs). Kerr-McGee also submitted a dose 
assessment demonstrating that the post remediation conditions at the 
site meet the unrestricted release criteria of 10 CFR part 20, subpart 
E. Kerr-McGee submitted a request for termination of its SNM License on 
June 15, 2005 (ML051680329), with revisions on May 11, 2006 
(ML061380781).
    NRC conducted a number of independent confirmatory surveys to 
verify FSS results obtained and reported by the licensee. Confirmatory 
surveys consisted of surface scans for beta and gamma radiation, direct 
measurements for total beta activity, collection of smear samples for 
determining removable radioactivity levels, and collection and analysis 
of soil samples.
    The Commission has concluded, based on the considerations discussed 
above, that: (i) The remaining dismantlement has been performed in 
accordance with the approved DP; (ii) The FSS and associated 
documentation demonstrate that the Cushing site meet the criteria for 
decommissioning and release of the site for unrestricted use that are 
stipulated in Condition 11(N) of SNM-1999. Further, FSSs demonstrated 
that the post-remediation condition of the site results in a dose less 
than the 25 mrem (millirem)/year (yr) unrestricted release criteria of 
10 CFR part 20, subpart E; and (iii) Kerr-McGee has met the Part 70 
requirements for forwarding of specific records to NRC prior to license 
termination. Therefore, the Commission is terminating SNM License No. 
SNM-1999.
