I. Introduction
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(the Commission) is considering
approval of an application (the
application) from General Electric
Company (GE), submitted on January
19, 2007, for consent to direct transfer
of Special Nuclear Material License-960
(SNM–960), currently held by GE to GEHitachi Nuclear Energy Americas, LLC.
The application was supplemented by
letters dated January 25, 2007, February
23, 2007, and March 2, 2007. The
Commission is also considering
amending the license for administrative
purposes to reflect the proposed
transfer. Renewed License No. SNM–
960 was issued on September 14, 2000,
to GE under 10 CFR Part 70, and
authorizes GE to possess and use
specified licensed material at the
Vallecitos Nuclear Center located near
Pleasanton, California.
According to the application for
approval, and supplements filed by GE,
GE-Hitachi Nuclear Energy Americas,
LLC, a newly formed entity, would
acquire ownership of the facilities
following approval of the proposed
license transfer, and would be
responsible for the operation and
maintenance of the facilities. This new
entity will be wholly owned by GEHitachi Nuclear Energy Holdings, LLC,
created as a parent company. A U.S.
subsidiary or subsidiaries of Hitachi
Ltd., a Japanese company, will hold a
40% ownership interest. GE, through
various subsidiaries, will hold a 60%
ownership interest.
The proposed amendment would
replace references to GE in the license
with references to GE-Hitachi Nuclear
Energy Americas, LLC., to reflect the
proposed transfer.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 70.36, no right to
possess or utilize special nuclear
material granted by any license, issued
pursuant to the regulations in Part 70
shall be transferred, assigned or in any
manner disposed of, either voluntarily
or involuntarily, directly or indirectly,
through transfer of control of any
license, to any person, unless the
Commission shall, after securing full
information, find that the transfer is in
accordance with the provisions of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended,
and shall give its consent in writing.
The Commission will approve an
application for the transfer of a license
if the Commission determines that the
proposed transferee is qualified to hold
the license, and that the transfer is
otherwise consistent with applicable
provisions of law, regulations, and
orders issued by the Commission
pursuant thereto. An Environmental

Assessment (EA) will not be performed
because this action is categorically
excluded from the requirement to
perform an EA pursuant to 10 CFR
51.22(c)(21).
Before issuance of the proposed
conforming license amendment, the
Commission will have made findings
required by the Atomic Energy Act of
1954, as amended, and the
Commission’s regulations.
II. Opportunity To Request a Hearing
In accordance with the general
requirements in Subparts C and M of 10
CFR Part 2, any person whose interest
may be affected by this proceeding, and
who desires to participate as a party,
must file a written request for a hearing
and a specification of the contentions
which the person seeks to have litigated
in the hearing.
In accordance with 10 CFR
2.309(b)(1), to be timely, hearing
requests and petitions to intervene must
be filed no later than April 19, 2007.
Requests for a hearing and petitions
for leave to intervene should be filed in
accordance with the Commission’s rules
of practice set forth in Subpart C of 10
CFR Part 2. In particular, such requests
and petitions must comply with the
requirements set forth in 10 CFR 2.309.
Untimely requests and petitions may be
denied, as provided in 10 CFR
2.309(c)(1), unless good cause for failure
to file on time is established. In
addition, an untimely request or
petition should address the factors that
the Commission will also consider, in
reviewing untimely requests or
petitions, set forth in 10 CFR
2.309(c)(1)(I)–(viii)
Requests for a hearing and petitions
for leave to intervene should be served

I. Introduction
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) is considering
approval of an application (the application) from General Electric

Renewed License No. SNM-960 was issued on September 14, 2000, to GE

According to the application for approval, and supplements filed by
GE, GE-Hitachi Nuclear Energy Americas, LLC, a newly formed entity,
would acquire ownership of the facilities following approval of the
proposed license transfer, and would be responsible for the operation
and maintenance of the facilities. This new entity will be wholly owned

The proposed amendment would replace references to GE in the
