Before the Licensing Board: G. Paul Bollwerk, III, Chairman; Dr. Anthony J. Baratta; Dr. William W. Sager. This proceeding concerns the October 30, 2007 application of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) for a 10 CFR Part 52 combined operating license (COL). This TVA COL application seeks approval for the construction and operation of two new nuclear reactors on the existing Bellefonte Nuclear Power Plant site near Scottsboro, Alabama. In response to a February 8, 2008 notice of hearing and opportunity to petition for leave to intervene, 73 FR 7611 (Feb. 8, 2008), as amended by Commission order on April 7, 2008, 73 id. 19,904 (Apr. 11, 2008), on June 6, 2008, the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy (SACE), the Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League (BREDL), and BREDL’s Bellefonte Efficiency and Sustainability Team (BEST) chapter (collectively Joint Petitioners) filed a request for hearing and petition to intervene contesting the TVA COL application. On June 12, 2008, the Commission referred the petition to the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel to conduct any subsequent adjudication. On June 18, 2008, a three-member Atomic Safety and Licensing Board was established to preside over the contested portion of this COL proceeding. See 73 FR 35,714 (June 24, 2008).1 1 Consistent with section 189a.(1)(A) of the Atomic Energy Act, 42 U.S.C. 2239(a)(1)(A), in connection with the TVA Bellefonte COL application the agency also must conduct a ‘‘mandatory’’ or ‘‘uncontested’’ hearing in which it will receive evidence from TVA and the NRC staff VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:42 Oct 17, 2008 Jkt 217001 On July 30, 2008, the Board conducted a one-day initial prehearing conference in Scottsboro, Alabama, during which it heard oral presentations regarding the standing of each of the Joint Petitioners, the timeliness of their hearing petition, and the admissibility of their twenty-four proffered contentions. Thereafter, in a September 12, 2008 issuance, finding that Joint Petitioners SACE and BREDL had established the requisite standing to intervene in this proceeding and that they had timely submitted four admissible contentions concerning the TVA COL application, the Board admitted these two entities as parties to this proceeding. See Tennessee Valley Authority (Bellefonte Nuclear Power Plant Units 3 and 4), LBP–08–16, 68 NRClll (Sept. 12, 2008). In light of the foregoing, please take notice that a hearing will be conducted in this proceeding. Subject to any Board determination regarding any request to utilize formal hearing procedures under 10 CFR Part 2, Subpart G, see 10 CFR 2.310(d), the hearing on contested matters will be governed by the informal hearing procedures set forth in 10 CFR Part 2, Subparts C and L, 10 CFR 2.300– 2.390, 2.1200–12.1213. During the course of this contested proceeding, the Board may conduct an oral argument, as provided in 10 CFR 2.331, may hold additional prehearing conferences pursuant to 10 CFR 2.329, and may conduct evidentiary hearings in accordance with 10 CFR 2.327–2.328, 2.1206–2.1208.

Notices of those sessions will be published in the Federal Register and/ or made available to the public at the NRC Public Document Room (PDR), located at One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, regarding matters raised by the presiding officer concerning the conduct of the staff’s safety and environmental reviews. During that mandatory hearing, the presiding officer will explore issues associated with the Bellefonte COL application that are not the subject of this ‘‘contested’’ proceeding regarding the Joint Petitioners contentions admitted for litigation, and will make a determination concerning the adequacy of the staff’s safety and environmental reviews, as well as certain independent National Environmental Policy Act findings. See 10 CFR 52.97(a)(1). Current Commission policy calls for the Commission itself to conduct the mandatory hearing for the Bellefonte Units 3 and 4 COL application. See Memorandum to Luis A.
