SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DATES:
I. Introduction
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC or Commission) is
considering an application dated
September 17, 2010, as supplemented
February 10, and March 9, 2011, Calvert
Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant (CCNPP),
LLC, for the renewal of its Special
Nuclear Material (SNM) License No.–
2505, under the provisions of 10 CFR
Part 72, for the receipt, possession,
storage and transfer of spent fuel,
reactor-related Greater than Class C
(GTCC) waste and other radioactive
materials associated with spent fuel
storage at the CCNPP site-specific
Independent Spent Fuel Storage
Installation (ISFSI), located near Lusby,
Maryland. If granted, the renewed
license will authorize the applicant to
continue to store spent fuel in a dry cask
storage system at the applicant’s CCNPP
ISFSI. Pursuant to the provisions of 10
CFR 72.42, the renewal term of the
license for the ISFSI would be twenty
(20) years; however, the applicant has
submitted an exemption request with
the license renewal application, which,
if granted, would allow the license to be
renewed for 40 years. On February 16,
2011, (76 FR 8872) the revised 10 CFR
72.230(b) rule was published changing
the renewal term to a period not to
exceed 40 years to be effective May 17,
2011. The exemption request is no
longer required. The renewal

22936
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 79 / Monday, April 25, 2011 / Notices
jdjones on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
application was docketed under 10 CFR
Part 72; the ISFSI Docket No. is 72–8.
An NRC acceptance review,
documented in a letter to CCNPP dated
March 11, 2011, found that the
application contains sufficient
information for the NRC staff to begin its
technical review. The Commission will
approve the license renewal application
if it determines that the application
meets the standards and requirements of
the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as
amended (the Act) and the
Commission’s regulations, including the
findings required by 10 CFR 72.40.
These findings will be documented in a
Safety Evaluation Report. The NRC will
complete an environmental evaluation,
in accordance with 10 CFR Part 51, to
determine if the preparation of an
environmental impact statement is
warranted or if an environmental
assessment and finding of no significant
impact are appropriate. This action will
be the subject of a subsequent notice in
the Federal Register.
II. Opportunity To Request a Hearing
The NRC hereby provides notice that
this is a proceeding on an application
for the renewal of SNM–2505 issued to
CCNPP for its ISFSI located at the
CCNPP site near Lusby, Maryland. 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 (72 FR 49139, August
28, 2007). 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
participant should contact the Office of
the Secretary by e-mail at
hearing.docket@nrc.gov, or by telephone
at 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 (2) advise the
Secretary that the participant will be
submitting a request or petition for
hearing (even in instances in which the
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:21 Apr 22, 2011
Jkt 223001
participant, or its counsel or
representative, already holds an NRCissued digital ID certificate). Based upon
this information, the Secretary will
establish an electronic docket for the
hearing in this proceeding if the
Secretary has not already established an
electronic docket.
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/
apply-certificates.html. System
requirements for accessing the ESubmittal server are detailed in NRC’s
‘‘Guidance for Electronic Submission,’’
which is available on the agency’s
public Web site at https://www.nrc.gov/
site-help/e-submittals.html. Participants
may attempt to use other software not
listed on the Web site, but should note
that the NRC’s E-Filing system does not
support unlisted software, and the NRC
Meta System Help Desk will not be able
to offer assistance in using unlisted
software.
If a participant is electronically
submitting a document to the NRC in
accordance with the E-Filing rule, the
participant must file the document
using the NRC’s online, Web-based
submission form. In order to serve
documents through EIE, users will be
required to install a Web browser plugin from the NRC Web site. Further
information on the Web-based
submission form, including the
installation of the Web browser plug-in,
is available on the NRC’s public Web
site at https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html.
Once a participant has obtained a
digital ID certificate and a docket has
been created, the participant 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 documents are
submitted through the NRC’s E-Filing
system. To be timely, an electronic
filing must be submitted to the E-Filing
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
E-Filing system also distributes an email 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
PO 00000
Frm 00075
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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 by
contacting the NRC Meta System Help
Desk through the ‘‘Contact Us’’ link
located on the NRC Web site at https://
www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html, by e-mail at
MSHD.Resource@nrc.gov, or by a tollfree call at 866–672–7640. The NRC
Meta System Help Desk is available
between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Eastern
Time, Monday through Friday,
excluding government holidays.
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. A presiding officer, having
granted an exemption request from
using E-Filing, may require a participant
or party to use E-Filing if the presiding
officer subsequently determines that the
reason for granting the exemption from
use of E-Filing no longer exists.
Documents submitted in adjudicatory
proceedings will appear in NRC’s
electronic hearing docket which is
available to the public at https://
ehd1.nrc.gov/EHD/, unless excluded
pursuant to an order of the Commission,
or the 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
E:\FR\FM\25APN1.SGM
25APN1
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 79 / Monday, April 25, 2011 / Notices
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
submission.
Petitions for leave to intervene must
be filed no later than 60 days from April
25, 2011. Non-timely filings will not be
entertained absent a determination by
the presiding officer that the petition or
request should be granted or the
contentions should be admitted, based
on a balancing of the factors specified in
10 CFR 2.309(c)(1)(i)–(viii).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery
Abstract: The information collection
activity will garner qualitative customer
and stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with the
Administration’s commitment to
improving service delivery. By
qualitative feedback we mean
information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions,
but are not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study.
This feedback will provide insights into
SUMMARY:
PO 00000

customer or stakeholder perceptions,
experiences and expectations, provide
an early warning of issues with service,
or focus attention on areas where
communication, training or changes in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative and
actionable communications between the
Agency and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance will provide useful
information, but it will not yield data
that can be generalized to the overall
population. This type of generic
clearance for qualitative information
will not be used for quantitative
information collections that are
designed to yield reliably actionable
results, such as monitoring trends over
time or documenting program
performance. Such data uses require
more rigorous designs that address: the
target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results. The Agency
received 0 comments in response to the
60-day notice published in the Federal
Register of December 22, 2010 (75 FR

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) is
considering an application dated September 17, 2010, as supplemented
February 10, and March 9, 2011, Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant
(CCNPP), LLC, for the renewal of its Special Nuclear Material (SNM)
License No.-2505, under the provisions of 10 CFR Part 72, for the
receipt, possession, storage and transfer of spent fuel, reactor-
related Greater than Class C (GTCC) waste and other radioactive
materials associated with spent fuel storage at the CCNPP site-specific
Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI), located near
Lusby, Maryland. If granted, the renewed license will authorize the
applicant to continue to store spent fuel in a dry cask storage system
at the applicant's CCNPP ISFSI. Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR
72.42, the renewal term of the license for the ISFSI would be twenty
(20) years; however, the applicant has submitted an exemption request
with the license renewal application, which, if granted, would allow
the license to be renewed for 40 years. On February 16, 2011, (76 FR
8872) the revised 10 CFR 72.230(b) rule was published changing the
renewal term to a period not to exceed 40 years to be effective May 17,
2011. The exemption request is no longer required. The renewal
[[Page 22936]]
application was docketed under 10 CFR Part 72; the ISFSI Docket No. is
72-8.
An NRC acceptance review, documented in a letter to CCNPP dated
March 11, 2011, found that the application contains sufficient
information for the NRC staff to begin its technical review. The
Commission will approve the license renewal application if it
determines that the application meets the standards and requirements of
the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act) and the
Commission's regulations, including the findings required by 10 CFR
72.40. These findings will be documented in a Safety Evaluation Report.
The NRC will complete an environmental evaluation, in accordance with
10 CFR Part 51, to determine if the preparation of an environmental
impact statement is warranted or if an environmental assessment and
finding of no significant impact are appropriate. This action will be
the subject of a subsequent notice in the Federal Register.
II. Opportunity To Request a Hearing
The NRC hereby provides notice that this is a proceeding on an
application for the renewal of SNM-2505 issued to CCNPP for its ISFSI
located at the CCNPP site near Lusby, Maryland. 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 (72 FR 49139, August 28, 2007).
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 participant should
contact the Office of the Secretary by e-mail at
hearing.docket@nrc.gov, or by telephone at 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
(2) advise the Secretary that the participant will be submitting a
request or petition for hearing (even in instances in which the
participant, or its counsel or representative, already holds an NRC-
issued digital ID certificate). Based upon this information, the
Secretary will establish an electronic docket for the hearing in this
proceeding if the Secretary has not already established an electronic
docket.
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/apply-certificates.html. System requirements for accessing
the E-Submittal server are detailed in NRC's ``Guidance for Electronic
Submission,'' which is available on the agency's public Web site at
https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html. Participants may
attempt to use other software not listed on the Web site, but should
note that the NRC's E-Filing system does not support unlisted software,
and the NRC Meta System Help Desk will not be able to offer assistance
in using unlisted software.
If a participant is electronically submitting a document to the NRC
in accordance with the E-Filing rule, the participant must file the
document using the NRC's online, Web-based submission form. In order to
serve documents through EIE, users will be required to install a Web
browser plug-in from the NRC Web site. Further information on the Web-
based submission form, including the installation of the Web browser
plug-in, is available on the NRC's public Web site at https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html.
Once a participant has obtained a digital ID certificate and a
docket has been created, the participant 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
documents are submitted through the NRC's E-Filing system. To be
timely, an electronic filing must be submitted to the E-Filing 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
E-Filing 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 by contacting the NRC Meta System
Help Desk through the ``Contact Us'' link located on the NRC Web site
at https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html, by e-mail at
MSHD.Resource@nrc.gov, or by a toll-free call at 866-672-7640. The NRC
Meta System Help Desk is available between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Eastern
Time, Monday through Friday, excluding government holidays.
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. A presiding officer, having
granted an exemption request from using E-Filing, may require a
participant or party to use E-Filing if the presiding officer
subsequently determines that the reason for granting the exemption from
use of E-Filing no longer exists.
Documents submitted in adjudicatory proceedings will appear in
NRC's electronic hearing docket which is available to the public at
https://ehd1.nrc.gov/EHD/, unless excluded pursuant to an order of the
Commission, or the 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
[[Page 22937]]
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 submission.
Petitions for leave to intervene must be filed no later than 60
days from April 25, 2011. Non-timely filings will not be entertained
absent a determination by the presiding officer that the petition or
request should be granted or the contentions should be admitted, based
on a balancing of the factors specified in 10 CFR 2.309(c)(1)(i)-
(viii).
