SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Nine Mile Point 3 Nuclear Project, LLC
and Unistar Nuclear Operating
Services, LLC; Nine Mile Point 3
Nuclear Power Plant Combined
License Application; Notice of
Cancellation of Environmental Scoping
Process and Public Scoping Meeting
Nine Mile Point 3 Nuclear Project,
LLC and Unistar Nuclear Operating
Services, LLC have submitted an
application for a combined license
(COL) to build Nine Mile Point Unit 3
(NMP3), located on approximately 921
acres in Oswego County, New York on
Lake Ontario, approximately five miles
north-northeast of Oswego, New York.
Nine Mile Point 3 Nuclear Project, LLC
and Unistar Nuclear Operating Services,
LLC submitted the application for the
COL to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) on September 30,
2008, pursuant to Title 10 of the Code
of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 52.
A notice of intent to prepare an
environmental impact statement and
conduct scoping process was published
in the Federal Register on January 30,
2009 (74 FR 5688–5689). On February 9,
2009, Unistar submitted a letter to the
NRC requesting that the NRC consider
Unistar’s interest in maintaining some
E:\FR\FM\17FEN1.SGM
17FEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 30 / Tuesday, February 17, 2009 / Notices
schedule spacing between the NRC’s
review of the Calvert Cliffs Unit 3 and
NMP3 COL applications. Specifically,
Unistar requested that portions of the
NMP3 COL review be sequenced to
occur in September 2009.
In considering Unistar’s request, the
NRC believes that a shift in the NMP3
environmental scoping period will
preserve the NRC’s overall
environmental review process and
sequencing of activities. Therefore, the
NRC has chosen to cancel the current
environmental scoping process and the
associated February 25, 2009 scoping
meetings for this application. Both
activities will be rescheduled to start in
mid-2009. The purpose of this notice is
to inform the public that the NRC has
cancelled the current scoping process
and the associated scoping meetings for
this application.
Questions about this cancellation
should be directed to Mr. Paul Michalak
at 301–415–7612 or via e-mail at
Paul.Michalak@nrc.gov.

Notice of Acceptance for Docketing of
the Application and Notice of
Opportunity for Hearing Regarding
Renewal of Facility Operating License
No. DPR–49 for an Additional 20-Year
Period for FPL Energy Duane Arnold,
LLC Duane Arnold Energy Center
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC or the Commission)
is considering an application for the
renewal of operating license DPR–49,
which authorizes FPL Energy Duane
Arnold, LLC, to operate the Duane
Arnold Energy Center (DAEC), at 1912
megawatts thermal. The renewed
license would authorize the applicant to
operate DAEC for an additional 20 years
beyond the period specified in the
current license. DAEC is located near
Cedar Rapids, IA, and its current
operating license expires on February
21, 2014.
FPL Energy Duane Arnold, LLC
submitted the application dated
September 30, 2008, and Supplement 1
dated January 23, 2009, pursuant to
VerDate Nov<24>2008
19:45 Feb 13, 2009
Jkt 217001
Title 10, Part 54, of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR Part 54), to renew
operating license DPR–49 for DAEC. A
notice of receipt and availability of the
license renewal application (LRA) was
published in the Federal Register on
November 17, 2008 (73 FR 67895).
The Commission’s staff has
determined that FPL Energy Duane
Arnold, LLC 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 No. 50–331, for operating license
DPR–49, 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 the 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 will comply 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
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, and
that matters raised under 10 CFR 2.335
have been addressed. Pursuant to 10
CFR 51.26, and as part of the
environmental scoping process, the staff
intends to hold a public scoping
meeting. Detailed information regarding
the environmental scoping meeting will

be the subject of a separate Federal
Register notice.
Within 60 days of this notice, any
person(s) whose interest may be affected
may file a request for hearing/petition to
intervene. As required by 10 CFR 2.309,
a petition for leave to intervene shall set
forth with particularity the interest of
the petitioner/requestor in the
proceeding, and how that interest may
be affected by the results of the
proceeding. The petition should
specifically explain the reasons why
intervention should be permitted with
particular reference to the following
general requirements: (1) The name,
address and telephone number of the
requestor or petitioner; (2) the nature of
the requestor’s/petitioner’s right under
the Act to be made a party to the
proceeding; (3) the nature and extent of
the requestor’s/petitioner’s property,
financial, or other interest in the
proceeding; and (4) the possible effect of
any decision or order which may be
entered in the proceeding on the
requestor’s/petitioner’s interest. The
petition must also identify the specific
contentions which the petitioner/
requestor seeks to have litigated at the
proceeding.
Each contention must consist of a
specific statement of the issue of law or
fact to be raised or controverted. In
addition, the petitioner/requestor shall
provide a brief explanation of the bases
for the contention and a concise
statement of the alleged facts or the
expert opinion which support the
contention and on which the petitioner
intends to rely in proving the contention
at the hearing. The petitioner must also
provide references to those specific
sources and documents of which the
petitioner is aware and on which the
petitioner intends to rely to establish
those facts or expert opinion. The
petition must include sufficient
information to show that a genuine
dispute exists with the applicant on a
material issue of law or fact.1
Contentions shall be limited to matters
within the scope of the amendment
under consideration. The contention
must be one which, if proven, would
entitle the petitioner/requestor to relief.
A petitioner/requestor who fails to
satisfy these requirements with respect
to at least one contention will not be
permitted to participate as a party.
The Commission requests that each
contention be given a separate numeric
1 To the extent that the application contains
attachments and supporting documents that are not
publicly available because they are asserted to
contain safeguards or proprietary information,
petitioners desiring access to this information
should contact the applicant or applicant’s counsel
to discuss the need for a protective order.
