Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 112 / Tuesday, June 12, 2007 / Notices
by the Chief Administrative Judge of the
Atomic Safety and Licensing Board
Panel, will rule on the request and/or
petition; and the Secretary or the Chief
Administrative Judge of the Atomic
Safety and Licensing Board will issue a
notice of a hearing or an appropriate
order.
As required by 10 CFR 2.309, a
petition for leave to intervene shall set
forth with particularity the interest of
the petitioner in the proceeding, and
how that interest may be affected by the
results of the proceeding. The petition
should specifically explain the reasons
why intervention should be permitted
with particular reference to the
following general requirements: (1) The
name, address and telephone number of
the requestor or petitioner; (2) the
nature of the requestor’s/petitioner’s
right under the Act to be made a party
to the proceeding; (3) the nature and
extent of the requestor’s/petitioner’s
property, financial, or other interest in
the proceeding; and (4) the possible
effect of any decision or order which
may be entered in the proceeding on the
requestors/petitioner’s interest. The
petition must also identify the specific
contentions which the petitioner/
requestor seeks to have litigated at the
proceeding.
Each contention must consist of a
specific statement of the issue of law or
fact to be raised or controverted. In
addition, the petitioner/requestor shall
provide a brief explanation of the bases
for the contention and a concise
statement of the alleged facts or expert
opinion which support the contention
and on which the petitioner intends to
rely in proving the contention at the
hearing. The petitioner/requestor must
also provide references to those specific
sources and documents of which the
petitioner is aware and on which the
petitioner intends to rely to establish
those facts or expert opinion. The
petition must include sufficient
information to show that a genuine
dispute exists with the applicant on a
material issue of law or fact.
Contentions shall be limited to matters
within the scope of the amendment
under consideration. The contention
must be one which, if proven, would
entitle the petitioner to relief. A
petitioner/requestor who fails to satisfy
these requirements with respect to at
least one contention will not be
permitted to participate as a party.
Those permitted to intervene become
parties to the proceeding, subject to any
limitations in the order granting leave to
intervene, and have the opportunity to
participate fully in the conduct of the
hearing.

If a hearing is requested, the
Commission will make a final
determination on the issue of no
significant hazards consideration. The
final determination will serve to decide
when the hearing is held. If the final
determination is that the amendment
request involves no significant hazards
consideration, the Commission may
issue the amendment and make it
immediately effective, notwithstanding
the request for a hearing. Any hearing
held would take place after issuance of
the amendment. If the final
determination is that the amendment
request involves a significant hazards
consideration, any hearing held would
take place before the issuance of any
amendment.
Nontimely requests and/or petitions
and contentions will not be entertained
absent a determination by the
Commission or the presiding officer of
the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board
that the petition, request and/or the
contentions should be granted based on
a balancing of the factors specified in 10
CFR 2.309(c)(1)(i)–(viii).

for leave to intervene must be filed by:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
I. Introduction
Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.202, NRC (or the
Commission) is providing notice, in the
matter of Trojan Independent Spent
Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) Order
Modifying License (Effective
Immediately).
II. Further Information
I.
The NRC has issued a specific license,
to the Portland General Electric
Company (PGE), authorizing storage of
spent fuel in an ISFSI, in accordance
with the Atomic Energy Act (AEA) of
1954, as amended, and Title 10 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR)
part 72. On August 8, 2005, the Energy
Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct) was enacted.
Section 652 of the EPAct amended
Section 149, of the AEA, to require
fingerprinting and a Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) identification and
criminal history records check of any
individual who is permitted unescorted
access to radioactive material or other
property subject to regulation by the
Commission, which the Commission
determines to be of such significance to
the public health and safety or the
common defense and security, as to
warrant fingerprinting and background
checks. The Commission has
determined that spent fuel storage
facilities meet the requisite threshold
warranting these additional measures.
Though a rulemaking to implement the
fingerprinting provisions of the EPAct is
currently underway, the NRC has
decided to implement this particular
requirement by Order, in part, prior to
the completion of the rulemaking
because a deliberate malevolent act by
an individual with unescorted access to
spent fuel storage facilities has a
potential to result in significant adverse
impacts to the public health and safety
or the common defense and security.
Those exempted from fingerprinting
requirements under 10 CFR 73.61 [72
FR 4945 (February 2, 2007)] are also
exempt from the fingerprinting
requirements under this Order. In
addition, individuals who have had a
favorably decided U.S. Government
PO 00000
Frm 00060
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
32335
criminal history records check within
the last five (5) years, or individuals
who have active federal security
clearance (provided in either case that
they make available the appropriate
documentation), have satisfied the
EPAct fingerprinting requirement and
need not be fingerprinted again. Also,
individuals who have been
fingerprinted and granted access to
Safeguards Information (SGI) by the
reviewing official under the previous
fingerprinting order, ‘‘Order Imposing
Fingerprinting and Criminal History
Check Requirements for Access to
Safeguards Information’’ (EA–06–298)
do not need to be fingerprinted again.
Subsequent to the terrorist events of
September 11, 2001, the NRC issued
security Orders requiring certain entities
to implement Interim Compensatory
Measures (ICMs) and Additional
Security Measures (ASMs) for certain
radioactive material. The requirements
imposed by these Orders and the
measures licensees have developed to
comply with these Orders, were
designated by the NRC as SGI and were
not released to the public. These Orders
included a local criminal history
records check to determine
trustworthiness and reliability of
individuals seeking unescorted access to
spent fuel storage facilities. ‘‘Access’’
means that an individual could exercise
some physical control over the material
or device. In accordance with Section
149 of the AEA, as amended by the
EPAct, the Commission is imposing FBI
criminal history records check
requirements, as set forth in the Order
for all individuals allowed unescorted
access to protected areas, secure areas,
and critical target areas, for certain
spent fuel facility licensees. These
requirements will remain in effect until
the Commission determines otherwise.
In addition, pursuant to 10 CFR 2.202,
I find that in light of the common
defense and security matters identified
above, which warrant the issuance of
this Order, the public health, safety, and
interest require that this Order be
effective immediately.
II
Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 51,
53, 63, 81, 147, 149, 161b, 161i, 161o,
182, and 186 of the AEA of 1954, as
amended, and the Commission’s
regulations in 10 CFR 2.202, Parts 72
and 73, It is hereby ordered, effective
immediately, that your specific license
is modified as follows:
A. PGE shall, within twenty (20) days
of the date of this Order, establish and
maintain a fingerprinting program that
meets the requirements of the
