A notice of receipt and availability of this application was previously published in the Federal Register (72 FR 66200) on March 11, 2008.

Docketing of the 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.
