[Docket Nos. 50–282 and 50–306; NRC–

Pursuant to delegation by the
Commission dated December 29, 1972,
published in the Federal Register, 37 FR
28,710 (1972), and the Commission’s
regulations, see 10 CFR 2.104, 2.105,
2.300, 2.313, 2.318, and 2.321, notice is
hereby given that an Atomic Safety and
Licensing Board (Board) is being
established to preside over the following
proceeding:
jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
Tennessee Valley Authority (Bellefonte
Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2)
This proceeding concerns a Petition to
Intervene submitted by the Blue Ridge
Environment Defense League, its
chapter Bellefonte Efficiency and
Sustainability Team, and the Southern
Alliance for Clean Energy in response to
a Federal Register Notice published on
March 13, 2009 (74 FR 10,969) stating
that any person adversely affected by
the Commission’s determination to
reinstate the construction permits for
Bellefonte Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2,
to be located in Jackson County,
Alabama, may request a hearing. The
scope of the hearing request ‘‘is limited
to whether good cause exists for the
reinstatement of the [construction
permits]’’ (ibid.; see also In the Matter of
Tennessee Valley Authority (Bellefonte

License Nos. DPR–42 and DPR–60;
Northern States Power Company;
Prairie Island Nuclear Generating
Plant, Units 1 and 2; Receipt of
Request for Action Under 10 CFR 2.206
Notice is hereby given that by petition
dated September 4, 2009, Mr. David Lee
Sebastian (petitioner) has requested that
the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) take action with
regard to the licensee for the Prairie
Island Nuclear Generating Plant, Units 1
and 2. The Prairie Island Nuclear
Generating Plant is operated by
Northern States Power Company,
incorporated in Minnesota as a wholly
owned subsidiary of Xcel Energy, Inc.
(Xcel). The petitioner requests that the
NRC:
(1) Order Xcel to cease and desist
from its current arbitrary and capricious
practices using the Access
Authorization and Fitness for Duty (AA/
FFD) Programs other than their intended
created intent, as they are being applied
against the petitioner.
(2) Order compliance with:
(A) The NRC’s regulations under
Section 73.56, ‘‘Personnel Access
Authorization Requirements for Nuclear
Power Plants,’’ of Title 10 of the Code
of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 73.56);
PO 00000
Frm 00057
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
(B) The rationale described in the
final rule ‘‘Access Authorization
Program for Nuclear Power Plants’’ (RIN
3150–AA90) published in the Federal
Register on April 26, 1991 (56 FR
18997); and
(C) Nuclear Energy Institute’s (NEI)
implementation guidance in ‘‘Nuclear
Power Plant Access Authorization
Program’’ (NEI–03–01, Rev. 2).
(3) That the petitioner be granted
access authorization without further
delay to perform his accepted job tasks
with all record of denial removed from
any and all records wherever found.
(4) Issue any other Order, or grant any
other relief, to which the petitioner may
have shown himself entitled.
As the basis for the request, the
petitioner states that Xcel is in violation
of 10 CFR 73.56 in denying him access
to the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating
Plant using the AA/FFD program by
basing the decision solely upon an
existing tax lien. The petitioner states
that Xcel failed to base the decision to
grant or deny unescorted access
authorization on a review and
evaluation of all pertinent information.
The petitioner states that Xcel failed to
incorporate all three elements (i.e.,
background investigation, psychological
assessment, and behavioral observation)
of the unescorted access authorization
program when making the decision to
deny the petitioner unescorted access,
contrary to the rationale for rule ‘‘Access
Authorization Program for Nuclear
Power Plants’’ (56 FR 18997).
The NRC is treating the petitioner’s
request pursuant to 10 CFR 2.206,
‘‘Requests for Action under This
Subpart.’’ The request has been referred
to the Director of the Office of Nuclear
Reactor Regulation. As provided by
Section 2.206, the NRC will take
appropriate action on this petition
within a reasonable time. A copy of the
petition is available for inspection at the
Commission’s Public Document Room
(PDR), located at One White Flint North,
Public File Area O1 F21, 11555
Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville,
MD 20852. Publicly available records
