DPR– 42 and DPR–60 for an Additional 20Year Period The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) is considering an application for the renewal of Operating License Nos. DPR– 42 and DPR–60, which authorize Nuclear Management Company (NMC), to operate Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2, respectively, at 1650 megawatts thermal for each unit. The renewed licenses would authorize the applicant to VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:10 Jun 16, 2008 Jkt 214001 operate Units 1 and 2, for an additional 20 years beyond the period specified in the current licenses. The current operating licenses for Units 1 and 2, expire on August 09, 2013, and October 29, 2014, respectively. NMC submitted the application dated April 11, 2008 and supplemented May 16, 2008, pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations CFR Part 54 (10 CFR Part 54), to renew Operating License Nos. DPR–42 and DPR–60 for Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2, respectively. A Notice of Receipt and Availability of the license renewal application (LRA) was published in the Federal Register on May 6, 2008 (73 FR 25034) as corrected on May 27, 2008 (73 FR 30423). The Commission’s staff has determined that NMC 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. 50–282 and 50–306 for Operating License Nos. DPR–42 and DPR–60, 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 (the Act), as amended, 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 in order to comply with 10 CFR 54.29(a) are in accord 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 PO 00000 Frm 00090 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 34335 Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Power Plants,’’ dated May 1996. In considering the LRA, the Commission must find that the applicable requirements of Subpart A of 10 CFR Part 51 have been satisfied. Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.26, and as part of the environmental scoping process, the staff intends to hold a public scoping meeting. The notice of intent 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, presiding officer, or the designated Atomic Safety and Licensing Board will rule on the request and/or petition. 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 reasons why intervention should be permitted with particular reference to E:\FR\FM\17JNN1.SGM 17JNN1
