the Matter of Amergen Energy

(Notice of Opportunity to Make Oral
or Written Limited Appearance
Statements).
This proceeding concerns the July 22,
2005 application by AmerGen Energy

its operating license for the Oyster Creek
Nuclear Generating Station (‘‘Oyster

current expiration date of April 9, 2009.
In response to the September 15, 2005
Notice of Opportunity for Hearing (70
FR 54585 (Sept. 15, 2005)), two
Requests for Hearing and Petitions to
Intervene were filed on November 14,
2005. One Petition was filed by the New
Jersey Department of Environmental
Protection [hereinafter referred to as
New Jersey], and the other Petition was
filed by the Nuclear Information and
Resource Service, Jersey Shore Nuclear
Watch, Inc., Grandmothers, Mothers and
More for Energy Safety, New Jersey
Public Interest Research Group, New
Jersey Sierra Club, and New Jersey
Environmental Federation [hereinafter
referred to collectively as Citizens]. On
December 9, 2005, this Atomic Safety
and Licensing Board was established to
preside over the proceeding.
On February 27, 2006, this Board
issued a Memorandum and Order in
which we (LBP–06–07, 63 NRC 188
(2006)): (1) Denied New Jersey’s Request
for Hearing and Petition to Intervene;1
and (2) granted Citizens’ Request for
Hearing and Petition to Intervene. We
concluded that Citizens’ contention was
admissible to the extent it challenged
AmerGen’s aging management program
for measuring corrosion in the sand bed
region of the drywell liner (id. at 217).
Subsequently, on June 6, 2006, this
Board issued a Memorandum and Order
in which we concluded that Citizens’
contention, as admitted by the Board,
was a contention of omission that had
been cured as a result of newly docketed
commitments by AmerGen to perform
periodic UT measurements in the sand
bed region of the drywell liner
throughout the period of extended
operation (LBP–06–16, 63 NRC 737
(2006)). Instead of dismissing the
proceeding, the Board gave Citizens the
opportunity to file a new contention
raising one or more specific substantive
challenges to AmerGen’s new periodic
UT program for the sand bed region (id.
at 744). On June 23, Citizens submitted
a Petition to file new contentions, and
on October 10, this Board admitted one
of the newly proffered contentions;
namely, Citizens’ assertion that
AmerGen’s scheduled UT monitoring
frequency in the sand bed region of the
drywell shell during the renewal period
is insufficient to maintain an adequate
safety margin (LBP–06–22, 64 NRC 229,
240–44 (2006)).
This Atomic Safety and Licensing
Board hereby gives notice that, in
1 Although New Jersey established standing, the
Board concluded that it failed to proffer an
admissible contention. The Nuclear Regulatory
Commission sustained the Board’s ruling. CLI–07–
08, 65 NRC _ (slip op.) (Feb. 26, 2007); CLI–06–24,

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities
and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget a
request for approval of extension on the
following rule: 17 CFR 240.15c3–1f
(Appendix F to Rule 15c3–1
(‘‘Appendix F’’)).
Appendix F requires a broker-dealer
choosing to register, upon Commission
approval, as an OTC derivatives dealer
to develop and maintain an internal risk
management system based on Value-atRisk (‘‘VaR’’) models. Appendix F also
requires the OTC derivatives dealer to
notify Commission staff of the system
and of certain other periodic
information including when the VaR
model deviates from the actual
performance of the OTC derivatives
dealer’s portfolio. It is anticipated that
five (5) broker-dealers will spend 1,000
hours per year complying with Rule
15c3–1f. The total burden is estimated
to be approximately 5,000 hours.
The records required to be kept
pursuant to Appendix F and results of
periodic reviews conducted pursuant to
Rule 15c3–4 generally must be
preserved under Rule 17a–4 of the
Exchange Act (17 CFR 240.17a–4) for a
period of not less than three years, the
first two years in an easily accessible
place. The Commission will not
generally publish or make available to
any person notice or reports received
pursuant to the Rule. The statutory basis
for the Commission’s refusal to disclose
such information to the public is the
exemption contained in Section (b)(4) of
the Freedom of Information Act, 5
U.S.C. 552, which essentially provides
that the requirement of public
dissemination does not apply to
commercial or financial information
which is privileged or confidential.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid
control number.

In the Matter of Amergen Energy Company, LLC (License Renewal for
Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station); Notice
April 23, 2007.
(Notice of Opportunity to Make Oral or Written Limited Appearance
Statements).
This proceeding concerns the July 22, 2005 application by AmerGen
Energy Company, LLC (``AmerGen'') to renew its operating license for
the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (``Oyster Creek'') for
twenty years beyond the
[[Page 21056]]
current expiration date of April 9, 2009. In response to the September
15, 2005 Notice of Opportunity for Hearing (70 FR 54585 (Sept. 15,
2005)), two Requests for Hearing and Petitions to Intervene were filed
on November 14, 2005. One Petition was filed by the New Jersey
Department of Environmental Protection [hereinafter referred to as New
Jersey], and the other Petition was filed by the Nuclear Information
and Resource Service, Jersey Shore Nuclear Watch, Inc., Grandmothers,
Mothers and More for Energy Safety, New Jersey Public Interest Research
Group, New Jersey Sierra Club, and New Jersey Environmental Federation
[hereinafter referred to collectively as Citizens]. On December 9,
2005, this Atomic Safety and Licensing Board was established to preside
over the proceeding.
On February 27, 2006, this Board issued a Memorandum and Order in
which we (LBP-06-07, 63 NRC 188 (2006)): (1) Denied New Jersey's
Request for Hearing and Petition to Intervene;\1\ and (2) granted
Citizens' Request for Hearing and Petition to Intervene. We concluded
that Citizens' contention was admissible to the extent it challenged
AmerGen's aging management program for measuring corrosion in the sand
bed region of the drywell liner (id. at 217).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Although New Jersey established standing, the Board
concluded that it failed to proffer an admissible contention. The
Nuclear Regulatory Commission sustained the Board's ruling. CLI-07-
08, 65 NRC -- (slip op.) (Feb. 26, 2007); CLI-06-24, 64 NRC 111
(2006).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subsequently, on June 6, 2006, this Board issued a Memorandum and
Order in which we concluded that Citizens' contention, as admitted by
the Board, was a contention of omission that had been cured as a result
of newly docketed commitments by AmerGen to perform periodic UT
measurements in the sand bed region of the drywell liner throughout the
period of extended operation (LBP-06-16, 63 NRC 737 (2006)). Instead of
dismissing the proceeding, the Board gave Citizens the opportunity to
file a new contention raising one or more specific substantive
challenges to AmerGen's new periodic UT program for the sand bed region
(id. at 744). On June 23, Citizens submitted a Petition to file new
contentions, and on October 10, this Board admitted one of the newly
proffered contentions; namely, Citizens' assertion that AmerGen's
scheduled UT monitoring frequency in the sand bed region of the drywell
shell during the renewal period is insufficient to maintain an adequate
safety margin (LBP-06-22, 64 NRC 229, 240-44 (2006)).
This Atomic Safety and Licensing Board hereby gives notice that, in
accordance with 10 CFR 2.315(a), the Board will entertain oral limited
