In the Matter of U.S. Department of
Energy (High Level Waste Repository);
Notice of Hearing and Opportunity To
Petition for Leave To Intervene on an
Application for Authority To Construct
a Geologic Repository at a Geologic
Repository Operations Area at Yucca
Mountain
COMMISSIONERS: Dale E. Klein,
Chairman; Gregory B. Jaczko, Peter B.
Lyons, Kristine L. Svinicki.
I. Notice of Hearing
By letter dated June 3, 2008, the
Department of Energy (DOE) submitted
an application seeking authorization to
construct a geologic repository at a
geologic repository operations area at
Yucca Mountain in Nye County,
Nevada. The NRC published a notice of
receipt and availability of this
application in the Federal Register (73
FR 34348, corrected in 73 FR 40883
(June 17, 2008)). Notice is hereby given
that a hearing on the application will be
held at a time and place to be set in the
future by the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (the Commission) or an
Atomic Safety and Licensing Board
(Board).
The hearing will consider the
application for construction
authorization filed by DOE pursuant to
Section 114 of the Nuclear Waste Policy
Act of 1982 (NWPA), 42 U.S.C. 10134,
and pursuant to 10 CFR Parts 2 and 63.
The NRC Staff accepted the DOE
application for docketing on September
8, 2008 (73 FR 53284 (September 15,
2008)), and the docket number
established for this application is 63–
001.
The NRC Staff determined that it is
practicable to adopt, with further
supplementation, the Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) and
supplements prepared by DOE. The
Staff concluded that neither the 2002
Final Environmental Impact Statement
(FEIS) nor the 2008 Final Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement
(Repository Supplemental EIS)
adequately address all the impacts on
groundwater, or from surface discharges
of groundwater, from the proposed
action. The Staff therefore found that
additional supplementation is needed to
PO 00000
Frm 00081
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
63029
ensure that the 2002 FEIS and 2008
Repository Supplemental EIS are
adequate. The basis for the Staff’s
position is presented in the ‘‘U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission Staff’s
Adoption Determination Report for the
U.S. Department of Energy’s
Environmental Impact Statements for
the Proposed Geologic Repository at
Yucca Mountain,’’ which is available in
the Agencywide Documents Access and
Management System (ADAMS) online
document system at https://www.nrc.gov/
reading-rm/adams/web-based.html, at
accession number ML082420342.
The NRC Staff will complete a
detailed technical review of the DOE
application, and will document its
findings in a safety evaluation report. If
the Commission finds that the DOE
application meets the applicable
standards of the Atomic Energy Act of
1954, as amended (AEA), the NWPA,
and the Commission’s regulations, then
the Commission will issue a
construction authorization, in the form
and containing such conditions and
limitations, if any, as the Commission
finds appropriate and necessary.
II. Opportunity To Petition for Leave To
Intervene
A hearing on DOE’s construction
authorization application will be held in
the public interest pursuant to 10 CFR
2.101(e)(8). The hearing will be
governed by the rules of procedure in 10
CFR Part 2, Subpart C, ‘‘Rules of General
Applicability: Hearing Requests,
Petitions to Intervene, Availability of
Documents, Selection of Specific
Hearing Procedures, Presiding Officer
Powers, and General Hearing
Management for NRC Adjudicatory
Hearings’’; Subpart J, ‘‘Procedures
Applicable to Proceedings for the
Issuance of Licenses for the Receipt of
High-Level Radioactive Waste at a
Geologic Repository’’; and Subpart G,
‘‘Rules for Formal Adjudications.’’ The
matters of fact and law to be considered
are whether the application satisfies the
applicable safety, security, and
technical standards of the AEA and
NWPA and the NRC’s standards in 10
CFR Part 63 for a construction
authorization for a high-level waste
geologic repository, and also whether
the applicable requirements of the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) and NRC’s NEPA regulations, 10
CFR Part 51, have been met.
Any person whose interest may be
affected by this proceeding and who
desires to participate as a party must file
a written petition for leave to intervene
in accordance with the requirements in
10 CFR 2.309, including contentions
that satisfy the admissibility standards
