SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
DATES:
I. Introduction
By letter dated August 8, 2008, (the
Application), Nuclear Fuel Services,
Inc., (NFS or the licensee) requested the
consent of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC or the Commission),
to the indirect transfer of Special
Nuclear Materials License No. SNM–124
(SNM–124) to NOG-Erwin Holdings,
Inc., and approval of a conforming
amendment to SNM–124. The need for
the requested consent arises from the
sale by NFS Services, LLC, (‘‘NFS
Services’’) to NOG-Erwin Holdings, Inc.,
(‘‘NOG’’) of NFS Services’ entire interest
in Nuclear Fuel Services, Inc. (the
‘‘Transaction’’). Included in the
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:25 Sep 18, 2008
Jkt 214001
Transaction, as more fully described in
the application, is the transfer by NFS
Services of 100% of the stock of NFS
Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation
and its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Nuclear Fuel Services, Inc. a Delaware
corporation which is the holder of the
License, to NOG-Erwin Holdings, Inc.
(‘‘NOG’’), a newly-formed subsidiary of
Babcock & Wilcox Nuclear Operations
Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation,
which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
BWX Technologies, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, which in turn is a whollyowned subsidiary of The Babcock &
Wilcox Company, a Delaware
corporation. The Transaction, if
approved, will result in the indirect
change of control of NFS, the holder of
the License, from NFS Services to NOG.
NFS is the holder of SNM–124, which
authorizes NFS to receive, possess, and
use special nuclear material for the
research, fabrication and assembly of
nuclear fuel and related components at
its facilities located in Erwin,
Tennessee. The license provides, among
other things, that the facilities are
subject to all rules, regulations, and
orders of the NRC, now or hereafter in
effect. SNM–124 applies to product
processing operations, laboratory
operations, general services operations,
research and development operations,
and waste treatment and disposal
operations located in Unicoi County,
Tennessee.
Pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Section
2.1301, the Commission is noticing in
the Federal Register the receipt of the
Application for approval of the transfer
of SNM–124 because it involves a major
fuel cycle facility licensed under 10 CFR
Part 70. The NRC is considering the
issuance of an order pursuant to 10 CFR
70.36, authorizing the transfer of control
of SNM–124 from NFS to NOG-Erwin
Holdings, Inc. An amendment to the
existing license would follow the
issuance of the order. According to the
Application, NOG-Erwin Holdings, Inc.,
would acquire ownership of the NFS
facilities and upon approval of the
license transfer would be the licensee
responsible for operating and
maintaining them. The Application does
not propose any physical changes to the
facilities or other changes.
The amendment would replace
references to NFS, Inc., in Section 1.1
and Appendix D to Chapter 1 of the
license with references to NFS
Holdings, Inc.; NOG-Erwin Holdings,
Inc.; and Babcock & Wilcox Nuclear
Operations Group, Inc., to reflect the
transfer, if approved by the
Commission.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 70.36, no license,
or any right there under, shall be
transferred, assigned or in any manner
disposed of, either voluntarily or
involuntarily, directly or indirectly,
through the transfer of control of any
license to any person unless the
Commission shall after securing full
information, find that the transfer is in
accordance with the provisions of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended,
and shall give its consent in writing.
The Commission will approve an
application for the transfer of a license
and authorize the transfer of the license
through the issuance of an order, if it is
determined that the proposed transferee
is qualified to hold the license and that
the transfer is otherwise consistent with
applicable provisions of law,
regulations, and orders issued by the
Commission pursuant thereto.
An NRC administrative review found
the application acceptable to begin a
technical review. If the NRC issues an
order, as described above, the approval
of the above requested actions will be
documented in a conforming
amendment to SNM–124. However,
before issuing an order and approving
the amendment, the NRC will need to
make the findings required by the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended,
and NRC regulations. These findings
will be documented in a safety
evaluation report. The license transfer
request falls within the 10 CFR
51.22(c)(21), categorical exclusion
criteria, so no environmental review of
the proposed action is required.
II. Opportunity To Request a Hearing
The NRC hereby provides notice that
this is a proceeding regarding the
consideration of the issuance of an order
authorizing the transfer of control of
Special Nuclear Materials License No.
SNM–124. In accordance with the
general requirements in Subpart C of 10
CFR Part 2, as amended on January 14,
2004 (69 FR 2182), any person whose
interest may be affected by this
proceeding and who desires to
participate as a party must file a written
request for a hearing and a specification
of the contentions that the person seeks
to have litigated in the hearing.
A request for hearing or a petition for
leave to intervene must be filed in
accordance with the NRC E-Filing rule,
which the NRC promulgated on August
28, 2007 (72 FR 49139). The E-Filing
rule requires participants to submit and
serve documents over the Internet, or in
some cases to mail copies on electronic
storage media. Participants may not
submit paper copies of their filings
unless they seek a waiver in accordance
with the procedures described below.
