NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50–461; NRC–2009–0314]
Exelon Generation Company, LLC;
Notice of Consideration of Issuance of
Amendment to Facility Operating
License and Opportunity for a Hearing
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (the Commission) is
considering issuance of an amendment
to Facility Operating License No. NPF–
62, issued to Exelon Generation
Company, LLC (the licensee), for
operation of the Clinton Power Station
located in DeWitt County, Illinois.
The proposed amendment would
eliminate the requirement for main
steam line isolations on high turbine
building temperatures from technical
specification section 3.3.6.1, ‘‘Primary
Containment and Drywell Isolation
Instrumentation,’’ Table 3.3.6.1–1 (i.e.,
Function 1.f).
Before issuance of the proposed
license amendment, the Commission
will have made findings required by the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended
(the Act), and the Commission’s
regulations.
Within 60 days after the date of
publication of this notice, any person(s)
whose interest may be affected by this
action may file a request for a hearing
and a petition to intervene with respect
to issuance of the amendment to the
subject facility operating license.
Requests for a hearing and a petition for
leave to intervene shall be filed in
accordance with the Commission’s
‘‘Rules of Practice for Domestic
Licensing Proceedings’’ in 10 CFR part
2. Interested person(s) should consult a
current copy of 10 CFR 2.309, which is
available at the Commission’s PDR,
located at One White Flint North, Public
File Area O1F21, 11555 Rockville Pike
(first floor), Rockville, Maryland.
Publicly available records will be
accessible from the Agencywide
Documents Access and Management
System’s (ADAMS) Public Electronic

days, the Commission or a presiding
officer designated by the Commission or
by the Chief Administrative Judge of the
Atomic Safety and Licensing Board
Panel, will rule on the request and/or
petition; and the Secretary or the Chief
Administrative Judge of the Atomic
Safety and Licensing Board will issue a
notice of a hearing or an appropriate
order.
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 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.
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.
Those permitted to intervene become
parties to the proceeding, subject to any
limitations in the order granting leave to
intervene, and have the opportunity to
VerDate Nov<24>2008

participate fully in the conduct of the
hearing.
All documents filed in NRC
adjudicatory proceedings, including a
request for hearing, a petition for leave
to intervene, any motion or other
document filed in the proceeding prior
to the submission of a request for
hearing or petition to intervene, and
documents filed by interested
governmental entities participating
under 10 CFR 2.315(c), 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
process requires participants to submit
and serve all adjudicatory 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
an exemption in accordance with the
procedures described below.
To comply with the procedural
requirements of E-Filing, at least ten
(10) days prior to the filing deadline, the
petitioner/requestor should contact the
Office of the Secretary by e-mail at
hearing.docket@nrc.gov, or by calling
(301) 415–1677, to request (1) A digital
ID certificate, which allows the
participant (or its counsel or
representative) to digitally sign
documents and access the E-Submittal
server for any proceeding in which it is
participating; and/or (2) creation of an
electronic docket for the proceeding
(even in instances in which the
petitioner/requestor (or its counsel or
representative) already holds an NRCissued digital ID certificate). Each
petitioner/requestor will need to
download the Workplace Forms
ViewerTM to access the Electronic
Information Exchange (EIE), a
component of the E-Filing system. The
Workplace Forms ViewerTM is free and
is available at https://www.nrc.gov/sitehelp/e-submittals/install-viewer.html.
Information about applying for a digital
ID certificate is available on NRC’s
public Web site at https://www.nrc.gov/
site-help/e-submittals/applycertificates.html.
Once a petitioner/requestor has
obtained a digital ID certificate, had a
docket created, and downloaded the EIE
viewer, it can then submit a request for
hearing or petition for leave to
intervene. Submissions should be in
Portable Document Format (PDF) in
accordance with NRC guidance
available on the NRC public Web site at
https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html. A filing is considered
complete at the time the filer submits its
documents through EIE. To be timely,
an electronic filing must be submitted to
the EIE system no later than 11:59 p.m.

Eastern Time on the due date. Upon
receipt of a transmission, the E-Filing
system time-stamps the document and
sends the submitter an e-mail notice
confirming receipt of the document. The
EIE system also distributes an e-mail
notice that provides access to the
document to the NRC Office of the
General Counsel and any others who
have advised the Office of the Secretary
that they wish to participate in the
proceeding, so that the filer need not
serve the documents on those
participants separately. Therefore,
applicants and other participants (or
their counsel or representative) must
apply for and receive a digital ID
certificate before a hearing request/
petition to intervene is filed so that they
can obtain access to the document via
the E-Filing system.
A person filing electronically using
the agency’s adjudicatory e-filing system
may seek assistance through the
‘‘Contact Us’’ link located on the NRC
Web site at https://www.nrc.gov/sitehelp/e-submittals.html or by calling the
NRC electronic filing Help Desk, which
is available between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.,
Eastern Time, Monday through Friday,
excluding government holidays. The
toll-free help line number is 1–866–
672–7640. A person filing electronically
may also seek assistance by sending an
e-mail to the NRC electronic filing Help
Desk at MSHD.Resource@nrc.gov.
Participants who believe that they
have a good cause for not submitting
documents electronically must file an
exemption request, in accordance with
10 CFR 2.302(g), with their initial paper
filing requesting authorization to
continue to submit documents in paper
format. Such filings must be submitted
by: (1) First class mail addressed to the
Office of the Secretary of the
Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, Washington, DC 20555–
0001, Attention: Rulemaking and
Adjudications Staff; or (2) courier,
express mail, or expedited delivery
service to the Office of the Secretary,
Sixteenth Floor, One White Flint North,
11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville,

filing a document in this manner are
responsible for serving the document on
all other participants. Filing is
considered complete by first-class mail
as of the time of deposit in the mail, or
by courier, express mail, or expedited
delivery service upon depositing the
document with the provider of the
service.
Non-timely requests and/or petitions
and contentions will not be entertained
absent a determination by the

NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
[NRC–2009–0312; Docket No. 030–35985]
Environmental Assessment and Final
Finding of No Significant Impact With
Regard to Exemption From Certain
Regulatory Requirements
Introduction
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is proposing to
exempt all NRC medical use licensees
from certain requirements in 10 CFR
35.60(b), 10 CFR 35.100(a)(1) and
35.200(a)(1), and 10 CFR 32.72. These
requirements govern calibration tests
that use technetium-99m, and
distribution of molybdenum-99/
technetium-99m generators and
technetium-99m radioactive drugs to
and from medical use licensees. NRC is
issuing these exemptions to ensure that
available technetium-99 is being used
for patient administrations during any
period of United States and worldwide
shortages of molybdenum-99, which is
used to produce molybdenum-99/
technetium-99m generators for medical
use.
These exemptions will be effective
only when there are United States
shortages of technetium-99m caused by
production shortages of molybdenum99, as documented in writing by the
supplier of molybedenum-99/
technetium-99m generators or
technetium-99m.
Environmental Assessment
Identification of the Proposed Action
The NRC proposes to issue
exemptions to all NRC medical use
licensees from the requirements in 10
CFR 35.60(b) to calibrate the
instrumentation required in paragraph
(a) of this section in accordance with
nationally recognized standards. The
licensee will not be required to perform
the calibration test at the maximum
activity or at the time interval specified
in the national standard if the licensee
would use technetium-99m needed for a
patient administration to perform the
calibration test. The exemption will
only be in effect when the licensee is
receiving reduced quantities of
technetium-99m as a result of
production shortages of molybdenum-99
affecting their generator or technetium99m supplier, as documented in writing
by the supplier. The licensee must
perform the test when adequate
supplies, as documented in writing by
the technetium-99 supplier, become
available, and document results of the
test in accordance with 10 CFR 35.2060.
Depending on the maximum activity
PO 00000
Frm 00048
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
needed to perform the calibration test
and the activity of technetium-99m in
the radioactive drug, this may make
dosages available to 7–15 additional
patients at the licensee’s facility.
The NRC proposes to issue
exemptions to all NRC medical use
licensees from the requirements in 10
CFR 35.100(a)(1) and 35.200(a)(1) to
obtain unsealed byproduct material
prepared for medical use for uptake,
dilution, excretion, imaging or
localization studies from a manufacturer
or preparer licensed under § 32.72 of
this chapter or equivalent Agreement
State requirements, if the licensee
obtains the technetium-99m (or a
technetium-99m radioactive drug) from
another medical use licensee to
administer to patients. This permits
medical use licensees that cannot get
technetium-99m from their normal
supplier because of the shortage to
obtain some technetium-99m from a
local medical use licensee that has a
surplus. This exemption will only be in
effect when the licensee is unable to
obtain technetium-99m (or a
technetium-99m radioactive drug) from
its normal supplier as a result of
production shortages of molybdenum-99
affecting its generator or technetium99m supplier, as documented in writing
by the supplier. This exemption will
give some relief on a case-by-case basis
to a medical use licensee if its supplier
is severely affected by the shortage but
the other medical use licensee’s
supplier is not.
The NRC proposes to issue
exemptions to all NRC medical use
licensees from requirements in 10 CFR
32.72, to permit the licensee to transfer
surplus molybdenum-99/technetium99m generators or technetium-99m, or
technetium-99m radioactive drugs to
other medical use licensees for
administration to patients without
requiring the licensee to meet the
requirements for a commercial
distributor of radioactive drugs to
medical use licensees. This exemption
will only be in effect when the receiving
medical use licensee is unable to obtain
a generator, or technetium-99m or
technetium-99m radioactive drugs from
its normal supplier, as a result of
production shortages of molybdenum-99
affecting its generator or technetium99m supplier, as documented in writing
by the supplier. This exemption will
facilitate and give relief on a case-bycase basis to a medical use licensee with
a surplus of technetium-99m (or a
technetium-99m radioactive drug)
because its supplier is not affected by
the shortage in the transfer of the
technetium-99m to the other medical
use licensee whose supplier is affected.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50-461; NRC-2009-0314]
Exelon Generation Company, LLC; Notice of Consideration of
Issuance of Amendment to Facility Operating License and Opportunity for
a Hearing
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) is
considering issuance of an amendment to Facility Operating License No.
NPF-62, issued to Exelon Generation Company, LLC (the licensee), for
operation of the Clinton Power Station located in DeWitt County,
Illinois.
The proposed amendment would eliminate the requirement for main
steam line isolations on high turbine building temperatures from
technical specification section 3.3.6.1, ``Primary Containment and
Drywell Isolation Instrumentation,'' Table 3.3.6.1-1 (i.e., Function
1.f).
Before issuance of the proposed license amendment, the Commission
will have made findings required by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as
amended (the Act), and the Commission's regulations.
Within 60 days after the date of publication of this notice, any
person(s) whose interest may be affected by this action may file a
request for a hearing and a petition to intervene with respect to
issuance of the amendment to the subject facility operating license.
Requests for a hearing and a petition for leave to intervene shall be
filed in accordance with the Commission's ``Rules of Practice for
Domestic Licensing Proceedings'' in 10 CFR part 2. Interested person(s)
should consult a current copy of 10 CFR 2.309, which is available at
the Commission's PDR, located at One White Flint North, Public File
Area O1F21, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland.
Publicly available records will be accessible from the Agencywide
Documents Access and Management System's (ADAMS) Public Electronic
Reading Room on the Internet at the NRC Web site, https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/cfr/. If a request for a hearing or petition
for leave to intervene is filed within 60
[[Page 34595]]
days, the Commission or a presiding officer designated by the
Commission or by the Chief Administrative Judge of the Atomic Safety
and Licensing Board Panel, will rule on the request and/or petition;
and the Secretary or the Chief Administrative Judge of the Atomic
Safety and Licensing Board will issue a notice of a hearing or an
appropriate order.
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 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.
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.
Those permitted to intervene become parties to the proceeding,
subject to any limitations in the order granting leave to intervene,
and have the opportunity to participate fully in the conduct of the
hearing.
All documents filed in NRC adjudicatory proceedings, including a
request for hearing, a petition for leave to intervene, any motion or
other document filed in the proceeding prior to the submission of a
request for hearing or petition to intervene, and documents filed by
interested governmental entities participating under 10 CFR 2.315(c),
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 process
requires participants to submit and serve all adjudicatory 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 an exemption in accordance with the procedures
described below.
To comply with the procedural requirements of E-Filing, at least
ten (10) days prior to the filing deadline, the petitioner/requestor
should contact the Office of the Secretary by e-mail at
hearing.docket@nrc.gov, or by calling (301) 415-1677, to request (1) A
digital ID certificate, which allows the participant (or its counsel or
representative) to digitally sign documents and access the E-Submittal
server for any proceeding in which it is participating; and/or (2)
creation of an electronic docket for the proceeding (even in instances
in which the petitioner/requestor (or its counsel or representative)
already holds an NRC-issued digital ID certificate). Each petitioner/
requestor will need to download the Workplace Forms ViewerTM
to access the Electronic Information Exchange (EIE), a component of the
E-Filing system. The Workplace Forms ViewerTM is free and is
available at https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/install-viewer.html. Information about applying for a digital ID certificate is

Once a petitioner/requestor has obtained a digital ID certificate,
had a docket created, and downloaded the EIE viewer, it can then submit
a request for hearing or petition for leave to intervene. Submissions
should be in Portable Document Format (PDF) in accordance with NRC
guidance available on the NRC public Web site at https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html. A filing is considered complete at the
time the filer submits its documents through EIE. To be timely, an
electronic filing must be submitted to the EIE system no later than
11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Upon receipt of a
transmission, the E-Filing system time-stamps the document and sends
the submitter an e-mail notice confirming receipt of the document. The
EIE system also distributes an e-mail notice that provides access to
the document to the NRC Office of the General Counsel and any others
who have advised the Office of the Secretary that they wish to
participate in the proceeding, so that the filer need not serve the
documents on those participants separately. Therefore, applicants and
other participants (or their counsel or representative) must apply for
and receive a digital ID certificate before a hearing request/petition
to intervene is filed so that they can obtain access to the document
via the E-Filing system.
A person filing electronically using the agency's adjudicatory e-
filing system may seek assistance through the ``Contact Us'' link
located on the NRC Web site at https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html or by calling the NRC electronic filing Help Desk,
which is available between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Eastern Time, Monday
through Friday, excluding government holidays. The toll-free help line
number is 1-866-672-7640. A person filing electronically may also seek
assistance by sending an e-mail to the NRC electronic filing Help Desk
at MSHD.Resource@nrc.gov.
Participants who believe that they have a good cause for not
submitting documents electronically must file an exemption request, in
accordance with 10 CFR 2.302(g), with their initial paper filing
requesting authorization to continue to submit documents in paper
format. Such filings must be submitted by: (1) First class mail
addressed to the Office of the Secretary of the Commission, U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, Attention:
Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff; or (2) courier, express mail, or
expedited delivery service to the Office of the Secretary, Sixteenth
Floor, One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland
20852, Attention: Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff. Participants
filing a document in this manner are responsible for serving the
document on all other participants. Filing is considered complete by
first-class mail as of the time of deposit in the mail, or by courier,
express mail, or expedited delivery service upon depositing the
document with the provider of the service.
Non-timely requests and/or petitions and contentions will not be
entertained absent a determination by the Commission, the presiding
officer, or
[[Page 34596]]
the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board that the request and/or petition
should be granted and/or the contentions should be admitted, based on a
balancing of the factors specified in 10 CFR 2.309(c)(1)(i)-(viii).
Documents submitted in adjudicatory proceedings will appear in
NRC's electronic hearing docket which is available to the public at
https://ehd.nrc.gov/ehd_proceeding/home.asp, unless excluded pursuant
to an order of the Commission, an Atomic Safety and Licensing Board, or
a Presiding Officer. Participants are requested not to include personal
privacy information, such as social security numbers, home addresses,
or home phone numbers in their filings, unless an NRC regulation or
other law requires submission of such information. With respect to
copyrighted works, except for limited excerpts that serve the purpose
of the adjudicatory filings and would constitute a Fair Use
application, participants are requested not to include copyrighted
materials in their submissions.
For further details with respect to this license amendment
application, see the application for amendment dated June 15, 2009, as
