Renewal of the license would authorize the applicant to operate the facility for an additional 20year period beyond the period specified in the current operating license. The current operating license for TMI, Unit 1, (DPR–50), expires on April 19, 2014. TMI, Unit 1, is a Pressurized-Water Reactor designed by Babcock & Wilcox that is located near Middletown, PA. The acceptability of the tendered application for docketing, and other matters including an opportunity to request a hearing, will be the subject of subsequent Federal Register notices. Copies of the application are available to the public at the Commission’s Public Document Room (PDR), located at One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852 or through the Internet from the NRC’s Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Public Electronic Reading Room under Accession Number ML080220207. The ADAMS Public Electronic Reading Room is accessible from the NRC web site at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/ adams.html. In addition, the application is available at https://www.nrc.gov/ reactors/operating/licensing/renewal/ applications.html. Persons who do not have access to the internet or who encounter problems in accessing the documents located in ADAMS should contact the NRC’s PDR Reference staff at 1–800–397–4209, extension 4737, or by e-mail to pdr@nrc.gov. A copy of the license renewal application for the TMI, Unit 1, is also available to local residents near the site at the Middletown Public Library, 20 North Catherine St., Middletown, PA 17057, and at the Penn State Harrisburg Library, 351 Olmsted Drive, Middletown, PA 17057.

The COL application was filed pursuant to section 103 of the Atomic Energy Act and Subpart C, ‘‘Combined Licenses,’’ of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), part 52, ‘‘License Certifications and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants.’’ The site location is in Lusby, Maryland, and is identified as the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 3 (CCNPP3). The partial application included the environmental report, final safety analysis report information regarding site suitability, as well as other information required by 10 CFR 2.101(a)(5). A notice of receipt and availability of this application was previously published in the Federal Register (72 FR 45832) on August 15, 2007. The NRC staff has determined that UniStar has submitted information in accordance with 10 CFR part 2, ‘‘Rules of Practice for Domestic Licensing Proceedings and Issuance of Orders,’’ specifically 10 CFR 2.101(a)(5) regarding submission of a COL application in two parts, and 10 CFR part 52, and that the partial application is acceptable for docketing. The docket number established for CCNPP3 is 52–016. The NRC staff will perform a detailed technical review of the partial COL application. Docketing of the partial COL application does not preclude the NRC from requesting additional information from the applicant as the review proceeds, nor does it predict whether the Commission will grant or deny the application. The NRC staff will also perform an acceptance review of E:\FR\FM\31JAN1.SGM 31JAN1
