SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that the Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, has issued a revision to a DD dated July 28, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15183A164), on a portion of an intervention and hearing request petition filed by the petitioner on June 18, 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12171A409), that was referred to the NRC’s Office of the Executive Director for Operations by the Commission in its November 8, 2013, Memorandum and Order CLI–12–20 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12313A118), for consideration as a petition under section 2.206 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ‘‘Request for action under this part.’’ The petition was supplemented on November 16, 2012; January 16, 2013; and February 6, 2013 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML12325A748, ML13029A643, and ML13109A075, respectively). The petitioner requested that the NRC order SCE to submit a license amendment application for the design and installation of the SONGS, Units 2 and 3, replacement steam generators (SGs) and to suspend SCE’s licenses until they are amended. As the basis of the request, the petitioner asserted that the licensee VerDate Sep<11>2014 21:23 Oct 09, 2015 Jkt 238001 violated 10 CFR 50.59, ‘‘Changes, tests, and experiments,’’ when the SGs for SONGS, Units 2 and 3, were replaced in 2010 and 2011 without a license amendment request. The NRC sent a copy of the proposed DD to the petitioner and the licensee for comment on February 27, 2015 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML15020A121 and ML15020A165, respectively). The petitioner and the licensee were asked to provide comments within 30 days on any part of the proposed DD that was considered to be erroneous or any issues in the petition that were not addressed. Comments were received from the petitioner and were addressed in an attachment to the final DD. The licensee had no comments on the proposed DD; however, the licensee did provide a response to the petitioner’s comments. The NRC staff reviewed the response from the licensee and determined that because the licensee’s comments are direct rebuttals to the petitioner’s comments and raised no concerns with the proposed DD, that no changes to the final DD were required as a result of the licensee’s comments. On July 28, 2015, the NRC issued a DD regarding this matter. Subsequently, the NRC identified portions of this DD that required clarification regarding the scope of the petition and the decision. Accordingly, Section I of the DD is revised to clarify that the scope of the petition, which was referred by the Commission to the NRC staff in Memorandum and Order CLI–12–20, includes the underlying question of whether the licensee violated 10 CFR 50.59 when it replaced the SGs at SONGS, Units 2 and 3, without first obtaining a license amendment. Section II addresses the NRC staff’s resolution of this underlying question; and the conclusion in Section III is updated to reflect the resolution of this underlying question. Section II is also revised to clarify additional NRC staff activities associated with the SONGS SG event that support the conclusion regarding whether the licensee violated 10 CFR 50.59 by replacing the SGs without a license amendment. As stated in the DD, the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation has determined that the requests for the NRC to order the licensee to submit a license amendment application for the design and installation of the SONGS, Units 2 and 3, replacement SGs and to suspend SCE’s licenses until they are amended be denied. The reasons for this decision are explained in the DD (DD– 15–07; ADAMS Accession No. ML15267A158) pursuant to 10 CFR 2.206, ‘‘Requests for action under this PO 00000 Frm 00143 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 subpart,’’ of the Commission’s regulations. The NRC will file a copy of the DD with the Secretary of the Commission for the Commission’s review in accordance with 10 CFR 2.206. As provided by this regulation, the revised DD will constitute the final action of the Commission 25 days after the date of the decision unless the Commission, on its own motion, institutes a review of the DD in that time. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 2nd day of October 2015. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. William M. Dean, Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that the Director, 
Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, has issued a revision to a DD 
dated July 28, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15183A164), on a portion of 
an intervention and hearing request petition filed by the petitioner on 
June 18, 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12171A409), that was referred to 
the NRC's Office of the Executive Director for Operations by the 
Commission in its November 8, 2013, Memorandum and Order CLI-12-20 
(ADAMS Accession No. ML12313A118), for consideration as a petition 
under section 2.206 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 
CFR), ``Request for action under this part.'' The petition was 
supplemented on November 16, 2012; January 16, 2013; and February 6, 
2013 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML12325A748, ML13029A643, and ML13109A075, 
respectively).
    The petitioner requested that the NRC order SCE to submit a license 
amendment application for the design and installation of the SONGS, 
Units 2 and 3, replacement steam generators (SGs) and to suspend SCE's 
licenses until they are amended.
    As the basis of the request, the petitioner asserted that the 
licensee violated 10 CFR 50.59, ``Changes, tests, and experiments,'' 
when the SGs for SONGS, Units 2 and 3, were replaced in 2010 and 2011 
without a license amendment request.
    The NRC sent a copy of the proposed DD to the petitioner and the 
licensee for comment on February 27, 2015 (ADAMS Accession Nos. 
ML15020A121 and ML15020A165, respectively). The petitioner and the 
licensee were asked to provide comments within 30 days on any part of 
the proposed DD that was considered to be erroneous or any issues in 
the petition that were not addressed. Comments were received from the 
petitioner and were addressed in an attachment to the final DD. The 
licensee had no comments on the proposed DD; however, the licensee did 
provide a response to the petitioner's comments. The NRC staff reviewed 
the response from the licensee and determined that because the 
licensee's comments are direct rebuttals to the petitioner's comments 
and raised no concerns with the proposed DD, that no changes to the 
final DD were required as a result of the licensee's comments.
    On July 28, 2015, the NRC issued a DD regarding this matter. 
Subsequently, the NRC identified portions of this DD that required 
clarification regarding the scope of the petition and the decision. 
Accordingly, Section I of the DD is revised to clarify that the scope 
of the petition, which was referred by the Commission to the NRC staff 
in Memorandum and Order CLI-12-20, includes the underlying question of 
whether the licensee violated 10 CFR 50.59 when it replaced the SGs at 
SONGS, Units 2 and 3, without first obtaining a license amendment. 
Section II addresses the NRC staff's resolution of this underlying 
question; and the conclusion in Section III is updated to reflect the 
resolution of this underlying question. Section II is also revised to 
clarify additional NRC staff activities associated with the SONGS SG 
event that support the conclusion regarding whether the licensee 
violated 10 CFR 50.59 by replacing the SGs without a license amendment.
    As stated in the DD, the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor 
Regulation has determined that the requests for the NRC to order the 
licensee to submit a license amendment application for the design and 
installation of the SONGS, Units 2 and 3, replacement SGs and to 
suspend SCE's licenses until they are amended be denied. The reasons 
for this decision are explained in the DD (DD-15-07; ADAMS Accession 
No. ML15267A158) pursuant to 10 CFR 2.206, ``Requests for action under 
this subpart,'' of the Commission's regulations.
    The NRC will file a copy of the DD with the Secretary of the 
Commission for the Commission's review in accordance with 10 CFR 2.206. 
As provided by this regulation, the revised DD will constitute the 
final action of the Commission 25 days after the date of the decision 
unless the Commission, on its own motion, institutes a review of the DD 
in that time.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 2nd day of October 2015.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
William M. Dean,
 Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
