acceptance criteria may be resolved
through the design-centered review
approach for initial applications
containing common information, but we
do not intend to impose any resolution
so obtained on subsequent COL
applicants. While there is no
requirement to adopt a previouslyapproved resolution of an issue, and
subsequent applicants are free to use the
most recent state-of-the-art methods to
resolve such issues, we nevertheless
urge such applicants to consider
adopting previous resolutions in order
to maximize plant standardization. If a
COL applicant adopts an approach to a
technical issue previously found
acceptable, no further staff review of the
adequacy of the approach is necessary.
Rather, the staff review should be
limited to verification that the applicant
has indeed adopted the previously
approved approach and will properly
implement it.
C. ITAAC
In first promulgating 10 CFR Part 52
in 1989, we determined that hearings on
whether the acceptance criteria in a
COL have been met (ITAAC-compliance
hearings) would be held in accordance
with the Administrative Procedure Act
(APA) provisions applicable to
determining applications for initial
licenses, but that we would specify the
procedures to be followed in the Notice
of Hearing. See § 52.103(b)(2)(i) (1990);
54 FR 15395. In enacting the Energy
Policy Act of 1992, Congress
subsequently confirmed our authority to
adopt 10 CFR Part 52, and by statute
accorded us additional discretion to
determine procedures, whether formal
or informal, for ITAAC-compliance
hearings. See Atomic Energy Act section
189a.(1)(B)(iv), 42 U.S.C.
2239(a)(1)(B)(iv). We therefore amended
§ 52.103(d) to provide that we would
determine, in our discretion,
‘‘appropriate hearing procedures,
whether informal or formal
adjudicatory, for any hearing under
[§ 52.103(a)].’’
While we recognize that specification
of procedures for the treatment of
requests for hearings on ITAAC would
lend some predictability to the ITAAC
compliance process, we are not yet in a
position to specify such procedures,
since we have not approved even one
complete set of ITAAC necessary for
issuing a COL. Further, ITAACcompliance hearings are likely several
years distant, and we have no
experience with the type and number of
hearing requests that we might receive
with respect to ITAAC compliance.
While it may not be necessary to
consider the first requests for ITAAC-
VerDate Mar<15>2010
12:15 Mar 07, 2011
Jkt 223001
compliance hearings in order for us to
determine the procedures appropriate to
govern such hearings, we believe it
premature to specify such procedures
now. In addition, the staff is now
formulating guidance on the times
necessary for the staff to consider
different categories of completed
ITAAC, and this guidance should assist
licensees in scheduling and performing
ITAAC so as to minimize the critical
path for staff consideration of completed
ITAAC.
In view of the above considerations,
we have identified one measure to lend
predictability to the ITAAC compliance
process: The Commission itself will
serve as the presiding officer with
respect to any request for a hearing filed
under § 52.103. In acting as the
presiding officer under these
circumstances, we will make three
initial determinations. First, we will
decide whether the person requesting
the hearing has shown, prima facie, that
one or more of the acceptance criteria in
the COL have not been, or will not be
met, and the attendant public health
and safety consequences of such nonconformance that would be contrary to
providing reasonable assurance of
adequate protection of the public health
and safety. Second, if we decide to grant
a request for a hearing on ITAAC
compliance, we will decide, pursuant to
§ 52.103(c), whether there will be
reasonable assurance of adequate
protection of the public health and
safety during a period of interim
operation. Third, we will designate the
procedures under which the proceeding
shall be conducted. We have amended
§ 52.103 and our Rules of Practice
(§§ 2.309, 2.310, and 2.341) to
incorporate these changes.
III. Conclusion
The Commission reiterates its longstanding commitment to the expeditious
completion of adjudicatory proceedings
while still ensuring that hearings are fair
and produce an adequate record for
decision. The Commission intends to
monitor its proceedings to ensure that
they are being concluded in a fair and
timely fashion. To this end, the
Commission will act in individual
proceedings, as appropriate, to provide
guidance to licensing boards and
parties, and to decide issues in the
interest of a prompt and effective
resolution of the matters set for
adjudication.
