NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
[Docket Nos. 50–247 and 50–286]
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc.,
Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit
Nos. 2 and 3; Notice of Acceptance for
Docketing of the Application and
Notice of Opportunity for Hearing
Regarding Renewal of Facility
Operating License Nos. DPR–26 and
DPR–64 for an Additional 20-Year
Period
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC or the Commission)
is considering an application for the
renewal of Operating License Nos. DPR–
26 and DPR–64, which authorize
Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc., to
operate Indian Point Nuclear Generating
Unit Nos. 2 and 3, respectively, at 3216
megawatts thermal (MWt) for each unit.
The renewed licenses would authorize
the applicant to operate Indian Point
Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 2 and 3
for an additional 20 years beyond the
period specified in the current licenses.
The current operating licenses for
Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit
Nos. 2 and 3 expire on September 9,
2013, and December 12, 2015,
respectively.
Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc.
submitted the application dated April
23, 2007, as supplemented by letters
dated May 3, 2007, and June 21, 2007,
pursuant to 10 CFR Part 54, to renew
VerDate Aug<31>2005
20:12 Jul 31, 2007
Jkt 211001
Operating License Nos. DPR–26 and
DPR–64 for Indian Point Nuclear
Generating Unit Nos. 2 and 3,
respectively. A Notice of Receipt and
Availability of the license renewal
application (LRA), ‘‘Entergy Nuclear
Operations, Inc.; Notice of Receipt and
Availability of Application for Renewal
of Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit
Nos. 2 and 3; Facility Operating
Licenses Nos. DPR–26 and DPR–64 for
an Additional 20-Year Period,’’ was
published in the Federal Register on
May 11, 2007 (72 FR 26850).
The Commission’s staff has
determined that Entergy Nuclear
Operations, Inc. has submitted sufficient
information in accordance with 10 CFR
Sections 54.19, 54.21, 54.22, 54.23,
51.45, and 51.53(c) to enable the staff to
undertake a review of the application,
and the application is therefore
acceptable for docketing. The current
Docket Nos. 50–247 and 50–286 for
Operating License Nos. DPR–26 and
DPR–64, respectively, will be retained.
The determination to accept the license
renewal application for docketing does
not constitute a determination that a
renewed license should be issued, and
does not preclude the NRC staff from
requesting additional information as the
review proceeds.
Before issuance of each requested
renewed license, the NRC will have
made the findings required by the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended
(the Act), and the Commission’s rules
and regulations. In accordance with 10
CFR 54.29, the NRC may issue a
renewed license on the basis of its
review if it finds that actions have been
identified and have been or will be
taken with respect to: (1) Managing the
effects of aging during the period of
extended operation on the functionality
of structures and components that have
been identified as requiring aging
management review, and (2) timelimited aging analyses that have been
identified as requiring review, such that
there is reasonable assurance that the
activities authorized by the renewed
license will continue to be conducted in
accordance with the current licensing
basis (CLB), and that any changes made
to the plant’s CLB comply with the Act
and the Commission’s regulations.
Additionally, in accordance with 10
CFR 51.95(c), the NRC will prepare an
environmental impact statement that is
a supplement to the Commission’s
NUREG–1437, ‘‘Generic Environmental
Impact Statement for License Renewal
of Nuclear Power Plants,’’ dated May
1996. In considering the license renewal
application, the Commission must find
that the applicable requirements of
Subpart A of 10 CFR Part 51 have been
PO 00000
Frm 00093

Sfmt 4703
satisfied. Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.26, and
as part of the environmental scoping
process, the staff intends to hold a
public scoping meeting. Detailed
information regarding the
environmental scoping meeting will be
the subject of a separate Federal
Register notice.
Within 60 days after the date of
publication of this Federal Register
Notice, any person whose interest may
be affected by this proceeding and who
wishes to participate as a party in the
proceeding must file a written request
for a hearing or a petition for leave to
intervene with respect to the renewal of
the license. Requests for a hearing or
petitions for leave to intervene must be
filed in accordance with the
Commission’s ‘‘Rules of Practice for
Domestic Licensing Proceedings’’ in 10
CFR Part 2. Interested persons should
consult a current copy of 10 CFR 2.309,
which is available at the Commission’s
Public Document Room (PDR), located
at One White Flint North, 11555
Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville,
Maryland 20852 and is accessible from
the NRC’s Agencywide Documents
Access and Management System
(ADAMS) Public Electronic Reading
Room on the Internet at https://
www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.
Persons who do not have access to
ADAMS or who encounter problems in
accessing the documents located in
ADAMS should contact the NRC’s PDR
reference staff by telephone at 1–800–
397–4209 or 301–415–4737, or by e-mail
at pdr@nrc.gov. If a request for a
hearing/petition for leave to intervene is
filed within the 60-day period, the
Commission or a presiding officer
designated by the Commission or 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. In the event that no request for a
hearing or petition for leave to intervene
is filed within the 60-day period, the
NRC may, upon completion of its
evaluations and upon making the
findings required under 10 CFR Parts 51
and 54, renew the license without
further notice.
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, taking into
consideration the limited scope of
matters that may be considered
pursuant to 10 CFR Parts 51 and 54. The
petition must specifically explain the
