UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION In the Matter of Honeywell International, Inc., Metropolis, Illinois [Docket No. 04003392, License No. SUB–526, EA–14–114] CONFIRMATORY ORDER MODIFYING LICENSE (EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY) I. Honeywell International Inc. (Honeywell or Licensee) is the holder of Materials License No. SUB–526, issued by the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 40 on May 11, 2007, and Materials License Nos. 12–15023–02E and 15–19986–01E, issued by the NRC pursuant to 10 CFR part 30 on September 7, 2012 and October 2, 2014, respectively. The licenses authorize the operation of Honeywell’s Metropolis, Illinois, facility; and specific licenses for exempt distribution of byproduct material at Honeywell’s St. Charles, Illinois; and Olathe, Kansas facilities in accordance with conditions specified therein. This confirmatory order (Order) is the result of an agreement reached during an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mediation session conducted on December 9, 2014. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES II. On May 29, 2013, the NRC Office of Investigations (OI) initiated an investigation to determine whether a contractor at Honeywell’s Metropolis, Illinois facility, Bluestone, LLC (Bluestone), terminated one of its employees for, in part, notifying both Honeywell and Bluestone of a safety VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:37 Mar 17, 2015 Jkt 235001 concern. The investigation was completed on May 15, 2014, and was documented in OI Report No. 2–2013– 030. Based upon evidence developed during its investigation, the NRC identified an apparent violation of 10 CFR 40.7, ‘‘Employee protection,’’ involving a former Bluestone employee who was terminated for, in part, notifying both Honeywell and Bluestone that the employee smelled alcohol on the employee’s immediate supervisor’s breath onsite and during duty hours. By letter dated September 26, 2014, the NRC identified to Honeywell the apparent violation of 10 CFR 40.7, ‘‘Employee protection,’’ and offered Honeywell the opportunity to provide a response in writing, attend a predecisional enforcement conference, or to request alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in which a neutral mediator with no decision-making authority would facilitate discussions between the NRC and Honeywell and, if possible, assist the NRC and Honeywell in reaching an agreement on resolving the matter. In response to the NRC’s letter, Honeywell chose to participate in ADR. On December 9, 2014, the NRC and Honeywell met in an ADR session mediated by a professional mediator, arranged through Cornell University’s Institute on Conflict Resolution. During that ADR session, a preliminary settlement agreement was reached, and this Order is issued pursuant to that agreement. III. The NRC acknowledges that Bluestone no longer provides services as a contractor at Honeywell’s Metropolis, Illinois facility. During the ADR mediation session, a preliminary settlement agreement was reached. The elements of the agreement, as signed by both parties, consisted of the following: 1. Communication: Conducting presentations by senior Honeywell managers to inform Honeywell’s employees and the employees of Honeywell’s contractors of Honeywell’s policy regarding raising employee concerns and management treatment of such concerns. 2. Training: Presenting training regarding raising safety concerns, addressing safety issues, and management response to employee concerns. 3. Work Process: Modifying existing processes and developing new processes that provide for ongoing management support for employee protection requirements. 4. Policy Guidance: PO 00000 Frm 00100 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 14169 Reviewing and updating Honeywell’s Safety Conscious Work Environment (SCWE) policy and incorporating applicable aspects of NRC’s Safety Culture Policy, as appropriate. 5. Enforcement Consideration: During the ADR process, Honeywell neither admitted nor denied that a violation occurred. This confirmatory order, therefore, should not be used as evidence that a violation in fact occurred or that Honeywell agrees that a violation occurred. The NRC will refrain from issuing a Notice of Violation or proposing a civil penalty for all matters discussed in the NRC’s letter of September 26, 2014 (EA–14– 114). On February 26, 2015, Honeywell consented to issuing this Order with the commitments described in Section V below. Honeywell further agreed that this Order is to be effective upon issuance and that it has waived its right to a hearing. IV. Since Honeywell has agreed to take additional actions to address NRC concerns, as set forth below in Section V, the NRC has concluded that its concerns can be resolved through the effective implementation of Honeywell’s commitments. I find that Honeywell’s commitments as set forth in Section V are acceptable and necessary and conclude that with these commitments the public health and safety are reasonably assured. In view of the foregoing, I have determined that public health and safety require that Honeywell’s commitments be confirmed by this Order. Based on the above and Honeywell’s consent, this Confirmatory Order is immediately effective upon issuance. V. Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 81, 161b, 161i, 161o, 182 and 186 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and the Commission’s regulations in 10 CFR 2.202 and 10 CFR parts 30 and 40, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, THAT LICENSE NOS. SUB–526, 12–15023–02E, and 15– 19986–01E ARE MODIFIED AS FOLLOWS: Note: Except as otherwise indicated, the terms in Section V apply only to Honeywell’s facility in Metropolis, Illinois.

In consideration for the actions and/ or initiatives that Honeywell agrees to undertake, as outlined above, the NRC agrees not to pursue any further enforcement action based on the notice of apparent violation of employee protection requirements (Case no. EA– 14–114, Office of Investigations report No. 2–2013–030), dated May 15, 2014. VI. Any person adversely affected by this Confirmatory Order, other than Honeywell International Inc., may request a hearing within 30 days of its publication in the Federal Register. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the time to request a hearing. A request for extension of time must be made in writing to the Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555, and include a statement of good cause for the extension. 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, 10 CFR 2.301. 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 email 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 NRCissued digital ID certificate). Based upon this information, the Secretary will establish an electronic docket for the VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:00 Mar 17, 2015 Jkt 235001 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 the Electronic Information Exchange (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/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 email 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 participants separately. Therefore, applicants and other participants (or their counsel or representative) must apply for and receive a digital ID PO 00000 Frm 00102 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 14171 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 email 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 firstclass 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 requires submission of such information. With respect to copyrighted works, except for limited E:\FR\FM\18MRN1.SGM 18MRN1 14172 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 52 / Wednesday, March 18, 2015 / Notices 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. If a person other than Honeywell requests a hearing, that person shall set forth with particularity the manner in which his interest is adversely affected by this Confirmatory Order and shall address the criteria set forth in 10 CFR 2.309(d) and (f). If a hearing is requested by a person whose interest is adversely affected, the Commission will issue an order designating the time and place of any hearing. If a hearing is held, the issue to be considered at such hearing shall be whether this Confirmatory Order should be sustained. In the absence of any request for hearing, or written approval of an extension of time in which to request a hearing, the provisions specified in Section V above shall be final 20 days from the date this Confirmatory Order is published in the Federal Register without further order or proceedings. If an extension of time for requesting a hearing has been approved, the provisions specified in Section V shall be final when the extension expires if a hearing request has not been received. A REQUEST FOR HEARING SHALL NOT STAY THE IMMEDIATE EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS ORDER. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 11th day of March, 2015. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Patricia K.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

In the Matter of Honeywell International, Inc., Metropolis, Illinois

[Docket No. 04003392, License No. SUB-526, EA-14-114]

CONFIRMATORY ORDER MODIFYING LICENSE (EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY)
I.
    Honeywell International Inc. (Honeywell or Licensee) is the holder 
of Materials License No. SUB-526, issued by the U. S. Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) pursuant to Title 10 of the 
Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 40 on May 11, 2007, and 
Materials License Nos. 12-15023-02E and 15-19986-01E, issued by the NRC 
pursuant to 10 CFR part 30 on September 7, 2012 and October 2, 2014, 
respectively. The licenses authorize the operation of Honeywell's 
Metropolis, Illinois, facility; and specific licenses for exempt 
distribution of byproduct material at Honeywell's St. Charles, 
Illinois; and Olathe, Kansas facilities in accordance with conditions 
specified therein.
    This confirmatory order (Order) is the result of an agreement 
reached during an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mediation 
session conducted on December 9, 2014.
II.
    On May 29, 2013, the NRC Office of Investigations (OI) initiated an 
investigation to determine whether a contractor at Honeywell's 
Metropolis, Illinois facility, Bluestone, LLC (Bluestone), terminated 
one of its employees for, in part, notifying both Honeywell and 
Bluestone of a safety concern. The investigation was completed on May 
15, 2014, and was documented in OI Report No. 2-2013-030. Based upon 
evidence developed during its investigation, the NRC identified an 
apparent violation of 10 CFR 40.7, ``Employee protection,'' involving a 
former Bluestone employee who was terminated for, in part, notifying 
both Honeywell and Bluestone that the employee smelled alcohol on the 
employee's immediate supervisor's breath onsite and during duty hours. 
By letter dated September 26, 2014, the NRC identified to Honeywell the 
apparent violation of 10 CFR 40.7, ``Employee protection,'' and offered 
Honeywell the opportunity to provide a response in writing, attend a 
pre-decisional enforcement conference, or to request alternative 
dispute resolution (ADR) in which a neutral mediator with no decision-
making authority would facilitate discussions between the NRC and 
Honeywell and, if possible, assist the NRC and Honeywell in reaching an 
agreement on resolving the matter.
    In response to the NRC's letter, Honeywell chose to participate in 
ADR. On December 9, 2014, the NRC and Honeywell met in an ADR session 
mediated by a professional mediator, arranged through Cornell 
University's Institute on Conflict Resolution. During that ADR session, 
a preliminary settlement agreement was reached, and this Order is 
issued pursuant to that agreement.
III.
    The NRC acknowledges that Bluestone no longer provides services as 
a contractor at Honeywell's Metropolis, Illinois facility.
    During the ADR mediation session, a preliminary settlement 
agreement was reached. The elements of the agreement, as signed by both 
parties, consisted of the following:
    1. Communication:
    Conducting presentations by senior Honeywell managers to inform 
Honeywell's employees and the employees of Honeywell's contractors of 
Honeywell's policy regarding raising employee concerns and management 
treatment of such concerns.
    2. Training:
    Presenting training regarding raising safety concerns, addressing 
safety issues, and management response to employee concerns.
    3. Work Process:
    Modifying existing processes and developing new processes that 
provide for ongoing management support for employee protection 
requirements.
    4. Policy Guidance:
    Reviewing and updating Honeywell's Safety Conscious Work 
Environment (SCWE) policy and incorporating applicable aspects of NRC's 
Safety Culture Policy, as appropriate.
    5. Enforcement Consideration:
    During the ADR process, Honeywell neither admitted nor denied that 
a violation occurred. This confirmatory order, therefore, should not be 
used as evidence that a violation in fact occurred or that Honeywell 
agrees that a violation occurred. The NRC will refrain from issuing a 
Notice of Violation or proposing a civil penalty for all matters 
discussed in the NRC's letter of September 26, 2014 (EA-14-114).
    On February 26, 2015, Honeywell consented to issuing this Order 
with the commitments described in Section V below. Honeywell further 
agreed that this Order is to be effective upon issuance and that it has 
waived its right to a hearing.
IV.
    Since Honeywell has agreed to take additional actions to address 
NRC concerns, as set forth below in Section V, the NRC has concluded 
that its concerns can be resolved through the effective implementation 
of Honeywell's commitments.
    I find that Honeywell's commitments as set forth in Section V are 
acceptable and necessary and conclude that with these commitments the 
public health and safety are reasonably assured. In view of the 
foregoing, I have determined that public health and safety require that 
Honeywell's commitments be confirmed by this Order. Based on the above 
and Honeywell's consent, this Confirmatory Order is immediately 
effective upon issuance.
V.
    Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 81, 161b, 161i, 161o, 182 and 186 
of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and the Commission's 
regulations in 10 CFR 2.202 and 10 CFR parts 30 and 40, IT IS HEREBY 
ORDERED, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, THAT LICENSE NOS. SUB-526, 12-15023-
02E, and 15-19986-01E ARE MODIFIED AS FOLLOWS:
    Note: Except as otherwise indicated, the terms in Section V apply 
only to Honeywell's facility in Metropolis, Illinois. Any reference to 
Honeywell employees and supervisors includes all Honeywell and 
contractor employees and supervisors working at Honeywell's facility in 
Metropolis, Illinois. Any reference to ``Supervisor'' shall mean: a)

[[Page 14171]]

the above conditions upon demonstration by Honeywell of good cause.
    In consideration for the actions and/or initiatives that Honeywell 
agrees to undertake, as outlined above, the NRC agrees not to pursue 
any further enforcement action based on the notice of apparent 
violation of employee protection requirements (Case no. EA-14-114, 
Office of Investigations report No. 2-2013-030), dated May 15, 2014.
VI.
    Any person adversely affected by this Confirmatory Order, other 
than Honeywell International Inc., may request a hearing within 30 days 
of its publication in the Federal Register. Where good cause is shown, 
consideration will be given to extending the time to request a hearing. 
A request for extension of time must be made in writing to the 
Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 
Washington, DC 20555, and include a statement of good cause for the 
extension.
    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, 10 CFR 2.301. 
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 email 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 the Electronic Information Exchange (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 email 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 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 email 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 requires submission of such information. With 
respect to copyrighted works, except for limited

[[Page 14172]]

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.
    If a person other than Honeywell requests a hearing, that person 
shall set forth with particularity the manner in which his interest is 
adversely affected by this Confirmatory Order and shall address the 
criteria set forth in 10 CFR 2.309(d) and (f).
    If a hearing is requested by a person whose interest is adversely 
affected, the Commission will issue an order designating the time and 
place of any hearing. If a hearing is held, the issue to be considered 
at such hearing shall be whether this Confirmatory Order should be 
sustained.
    In the absence of any request for hearing, or written approval of 
an extension of time in which to request a hearing, the provisions 
specified in Section V above shall be final 20 days from the date this 
Confirmatory Order is published in the Federal Register without further 
order or proceedings. If an extension of time for requesting a hearing 
has been approved, the provisions specified in Section V shall be final 
when the extension expires if a hearing request has not been received.
    A REQUEST FOR HEARING SHALL NOT STAY THE IMMEDIATE EFFECTIVENESS OF 
THIS ORDER.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 11th day of March, 2015.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
