I. Introduction
By letters dated November 6, 2008,
and July 8, 2009, the U.S. Army
Installation Command submitted a
Source Material License application to
the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC), for the Schofield Barracks and
Pohakuloa Training Area (PTA) sites in
Oahu and the Island of Hawaii, Hawaii.
This license application is for
possession of depleted uranium (DU)
due to the potential for residual DU to
be at various Army Installations where
testing of the M101 Spotting Round has
occurred.
An NRC administrative review,
documented in a letter to the U.S. Army
Installation Command dated August 3,
2009, found the generic and site specific
security and environmental radiation
monitoring plans submitted by the
applicant acceptable to begin a technical
and environmental review. Before
approving the license application, the
NRC will need to make the findings
required by the Atomic Energy Act of
1954, as amended, and the NRC’s
regulations. These findings will be
documented in a Safety Evaluation
Report (SER) and a site-specific
Environmental Review consistent with
the provisions of 10 CFR Part 51.
II. Opportunity To Request a Hearing
The NRC hereby provides notice that
this is a proceeding on an application
for a source material license submitted
by the U.S. Army Installation Command
to possess depleted uranium at the
Schofield Barracks and PTA sites in
Oahu and the Island of Hawaii, Hawaii.
Any person whose interest may be
affected by this proceeding and who
desires to participate as a party must file
a request for a hearing and a
specification of the contentions which
the person seeks to have litigated in the
hearing in accordance with the NRC EFiling rule, which the NRC promulgated
on August 28, 2007 (72 FR 49139). All
documents filed in NRC adjudicatory
proceedings, including documents filed
by interested governmental entities
participating under 10 CFR 2.315(c) and
any motion or other document filed in
the proceeding prior to the submission
of a request for hearing or petition to
intervene, must be filed in accordance
with the E-Filing rule. The E-Filing rule
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
a waiver 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.

have a good cause for not submitting
documents electronically must, in
accordance with 10 CFR 2.302(g), file an
exemption request 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–

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
the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board
that the petition and/or request 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
social security numbers in their filings.
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 submission.

The formal requirements for
documents contained in 10 CFR
2.304(c)–(e) must be met. If the NRC
grants an electronic document
exemption in accordance with 10 CFR
2.302(g)(3), then the requirements for
paper documents, set forth in 10 CFR
2.304(b) must be met.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(b),
a request for a hearing must be filed by
October 13, 2009.
In addition to meeting other
applicable requirements of 10 CFR
2.309, a request for a hearing filed by a
person other than an applicant must
state:
1. The name, address, and telephone
number of the requester;
2. The nature of the requester’s right
under the Act to be made a party to the
proceeding;
3. The nature and extent of the
requester’s property, financial or other
interest in the proceeding;
4. The possible effect of any decision
or order that may be issued in the
proceeding on the requester’s interest;
and
5. The circumstances establishing that
the request for a hearing is timely in
accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(b).
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(f)(1),
a request for hearing or petition for
leave to intervene must set forth with
particularity the contentions sought to
be raised. For each contention, the
request or petition must:
1. Provide a specific statement of the
issue of law or fact to be raised or
controverted;
2. Provide a brief explanation of the
basis for the contention;
3. Demonstrate that the issue raised in
the contention is within the scope of the
proceeding;
4. Demonstrate that the issue raised in
the contention is material to the
findings that the NRC must make to
support the action that is involved in
the proceeding;
5. Provide a concise statement of the
alleged facts or expert opinions which
support the requester’s/petitioner’s
position on the issue and on which the
requester/petitioner intends to rely to
support its position on the issue; and
6. Provide sufficient information to
show that a genuine dispute exists with
the applicant on a material issue of law
or fact. This information must include
references to specific portions of the
application that the requester/petitioner
disputes and the supporting reasons for
each dispute, or, if the requester/
petitioner believes the application fails
to contain information on a relevant
matter as required by law, the
identification of each failure and the
PO 00000
Frm 00050
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
supporting reasons for the requester’s/
petitioner’s belief.
In addition, in accordance with 10
CFR 2.309(f)(2), contentions must be
based on documents or other
information available at the time the
petition is to be filed, such as the
application or other supporting
document filed by an applicant or
licensee, or otherwise available to the
petitioner. The requester/petitioner may
amend those contentions or file new
contentions if there are data or
conclusions in the NRC documents that
differ significantly from the data or
conclusions in the applicant’s
documents. Otherwise, contentions may
be amended or new contentions filed
after the initial filing only with leave of
the presiding officer.
Requesters/petitioners should, when
possible, consult with each other in
preparing contentions and combine
similar subject matter concerns into a
joint contention, for which one of the
co-sponsoring requesters/petitioners is
designated the lead representative.
Further, in accordance with 10 CFR
2.309(f)(3), any requester/petitioner that
wishes to adopt a contention proposed
by another requester/petitioner must do
so, in accordance with the E–Filing rule,
within ten days of the date the
contention is filed, and designate a
representative who shall have the
authority to act for the requester/
petitioner.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(g),
a request for hearing and/or petition for
leave to intervene may also address the
selection of the hearing procedures,
taking into account the provisions of 10
CFR 2.310.

Participants who believe that they have a good cause for not
submitting documents electronically must, in accordance with 10 CFR
2.302(g), file an exemption request 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

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 the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board that the petition
and/or request 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 social
security numbers in their filings. 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 submission.
The formal requirements for documents contained in 10 CFR 2.304(c)-
(e) must be met. If the NRC grants an electronic document exemption in
accordance with 10 CFR 2.302(g)(3), then the requirements for paper
documents, set forth in 10 CFR 2.304(b) must be met.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(b), a request for a hearing must be
filed by October 13, 2009.
In addition to meeting other applicable requirements of 10 CFR
2.309, a request for a hearing filed by a person other than an
applicant must state:
1. The name, address, and telephone number of the requester;
2. The nature of the requester's right under the Act to be made a
party to the proceeding;
3. The nature and extent of the requester's property, financial or
other interest in the proceeding;
4. The possible effect of any decision or order that may be issued
in the proceeding on the requester's interest; and
5. The circumstances establishing that the request for a hearing is
timely in accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(b).
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(f)(1), a request for hearing or
petition for leave to intervene must set forth with particularity the
contentions sought to be raised. For each contention, the request or
petition must:
1. Provide a specific statement of the issue of law or fact to be
raised or controverted;
2. Provide a brief explanation of the basis for the contention;
3. Demonstrate that the issue raised in the contention is within
the scope of the proceeding;
4. Demonstrate that the issue raised in the contention is material
to the findings that the NRC must make to support the action that is
involved in the proceeding;
5. Provide a concise statement of the alleged facts or expert
opinions which support the requester's/petitioner's position on the
issue and on which the requester/petitioner intends to rely to support
its position on the issue; and
6. Provide sufficient information to show that a genuine dispute
exists with the applicant on a material issue of law or fact. This
information must include references to specific portions of the
application that the requester/petitioner disputes and the supporting
reasons for each dispute, or, if the requester/petitioner believes the
application fails to contain information on a relevant matter as
required by law, the identification of each failure and the supporting
reasons for the requester's/petitioner's belief.
In addition, in accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(f)(2), contentions
must be based on documents or other information available at the time
the petition is to be filed, such as the application or other
supporting document filed by an applicant or licensee, or otherwise
available to the petitioner. The requester/petitioner may amend those
contentions or file new contentions if there are data or conclusions in
the NRC documents that differ significantly from the data or
conclusions in the applicant's documents. Otherwise, contentions may be
amended or new contentions filed after the initial filing only with
leave of the presiding officer.
Requesters/petitioners should, when possible, consult with each
other in preparing contentions and combine similar subject matter
concerns into a joint contention, for which one of the co-sponsoring
requesters/petitioners is designated the lead representative. Further,
in accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(f)(3), any requester/petitioner that
wishes to adopt a contention proposed by another requester/petitioner
must do so, in accordance with the E-Filing rule, within ten days of
the date the contention is filed, and designate a representative who
shall have the authority to act for the requester/petitioner.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(g), a request for hearing and/or
petition for leave to intervene may also address the selection of the
hearing procedures, taking into account the provisions of 10 CFR 2.310.
