SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Commission hereby gives notice
that, pursuant to Section 189a of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended
(the Act), it will convene an evidentiary
session to receive testimony and
exhibits in the uncontested portion of
this proceeding regarding FPL’s June 30,
2009, application for COLs under part
52 of title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR), to construct and
operate two additional units (Units 6
and 7) at the Turkey Point site in
Miami-Dade County, Florida (https://
www.nrc.gov/reactors/new-reactors/col/
turkey-point.html). The Commission
had previously scheduled this hearing
for February 9, 2017, and later, for
October 5, 2017.1 This mandatory
hearing will concern safety and
environmental matters relating to the
requested COLs, as more fully described
below. Participants in the hearing are
not to address any contested issues in
their written filings or oral
presentations.
II. Evidentiary Uncontested Hearing
The Commission will conduct this
hearing beginning at 9:00 a.m. Eastern
Standard Time on December 12, 2017, at
the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, One White Flint North,
11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville,
Maryland 20852. The hearing on these
issues will continue on subsequent
days, if necessary.
III. Presiding Officer
The Commission is the presiding
officer for this proceeding.
IV. Matters To Be Considered
The matter at issue in this proceeding
is whether the review of the application
by the Commission’s staff has been
adequate to support the findings found
in 10 CFR 52.97 and 10 CFR 51.107.
Those findings that must be made for
each COL are as follows:
Issues Pursuant to the Atomic Energy
Act of 1954, as Amended
The Commission will determine
whether (1) the applicable standards
and requirements of the Act and the
1 See 81 FR 89,995 (Dec. 13, 2016) and 82 FR
34,995 (Jul. 27, 2017).
E:\FR\FM\10OCN1.SGM
10OCN1
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 194 / Tuesday, October 10, 2017 / Notices
Commission’s regulations have been
met; (2) any required notifications to
other agencies or bodies have been duly
made; (3) there is reasonable assurance
that the facility will be constructed and
will operate in conformity with the
license, the provisions of the Act, and
the Commission’s regulations; (4) the
applicant is technically and financially
qualified to engage in the activities
authorized; and (5) issuance of the
license will not be inimical to the
common defense and security or the
health and safety of the public.
Issues Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969, as Amended
The Commission will (1) determine
whether the requirements of Sections
102(2)(A), (C), and (E) of NEPA and the
applicable regulations in 10 CFR part 51
have been met; (2) independently
consider the final balance among
conflicting factors contained in the
record of the proceeding with a view to
determining the appropriate action to be
taken; (3) determine, after weighing the
environmental, economic, technical,
and other benefits against
environmental and other costs, and
considering reasonable alternatives,
whether the combined licenses should
be issued, denied, or appropriately
conditioned to protect environmental
values; and (4) determine whether the
NEPA review conducted by the NRC
staff has been adequate.

V. Schedule for Submittal of Pre-filed
Documents
No later than November 7, 2017,
unless the Commission directs
otherwise, the NRC staff and the
applicant shall submit a list of its
anticipated witnesses for the hearing.
No later than November 7, 2017,
unless the Commission directs
otherwise, the applicant shall submit its
pre-filed written testimony. The NRC
staff submitted its testimony on
December 2, 2016.
The Commission issued written
questions on September 1, 2017.
Responses to these questions are due on
November 7, 2017, unless the
Commission directs otherwise.
VI. Interested Government Participants
No later than November 6, 2017, any
interested State, local government body,
or affected, Federally recognized Indian
Tribe may file with the Commission a
statement of any issues or questions to
which the State, local government body,
or Indian Tribe wishes the Commission
to give particular attention as part of the
uncontested hearing process. Such
statement may be accompanied by any
VerDate Sep<11>2014

supporting documentation that the
State, local government body, or Indian
Tribe sees fit to provide. Any statements
and supporting documentation (if any)
received by the Commission using the
agency’s E-filing system 2 by the
deadline indicated above will be made
part of the record of the proceeding. The
Commission will use such statements
and documents as appropriate to inform
its pre-hearing questions to the NRC
staff and applicant, its inquiries at the
oral hearing and its decision following
the hearing. The Commission may also
request, prior to November 8, 2017, that
one or more particular States, local
government bodies, or Indian Tribes
send one representative each to the
evidentiary hearing to answer
Commission questions and/or make a
statement for the purpose of assisting
the Commission’s exploration of one or
more of the issues raised by the State,
local government body, or Indian Tribe
in the pre-hearing filings described
above. The decision whether to request
the presence of a representative of a
State, local government body, or Indian
Tribe at the evidentiary hearing to make
a statement and/or answer Commission
questions is solely at the Commission’s
discretion. The Commission’s request
will specify the issue or issues that the
representative should be prepared to
address.
States, local governments, or Indian
Tribes should be aware that this
evidentiary hearing is separate and
distinct from the NRC’s contested
hearing process. Issues within the scope
of contentions that have been admitted
or contested issues pending before the
Atomic Safety and Licensing Board or
the Commission in a contested
proceeding for a COL application are
outside the scope of the uncontested
proceeding for that COL application. In
addition, although States, local
governments, or Indian Tribes
participating as described above may
take any position they wish, or no
position at all, with respect to issues
regarding the COL application or the
NRC staff’s associated environmental

review that do fall within the scope of
the uncontested proceeding (i.e., issues
that are not within the scope of
admitted contentions or pending
contested issues), they should be aware
that many of the procedures and rights
applicable to the NRC’s contested
hearing process due to the inherently
adversarial nature of such proceedings
are not available with respect to this
uncontested hearing. Participation in
the NRC’s contested hearing process is
governed by 10 CFR 2.309 (for persons
or entities, including States, local
governments, or Indian Tribes, seeking
to file contentions of their own) and 10
CFR 2.315(c) (for interested States, local
governments, and Indian Tribes seeking
to participate with respect to
contentions filed by others).
Participation in this uncontested
hearing does not affect the right of a
State, local government, or Indian Tribe
to participate in the separate contested
hearing process.

of October, 2017.

of assisting the Commission's exploration of one or more of the issues
raised by the State, local government body, or Indian Tribe in the pre-

States, local governments, or Indian Tribes should be aware that
this evidentiary hearing is separate and distinct from the NRC's
contested hearing process. Issues within the scope of contentions that
have been admitted or contested issues pending before the Atomic Safety
and Licensing Board or the Commission in a contested proceeding for a
COL application are outside the scope of the uncontested proceeding for
that COL application. In addition, although States, local governments,
or Indian Tribes participating as described above may take any position
they wish, or no position at all, with respect to issues regarding the
COL application or the NRC staff's associated environmental review that
do fall within the scope of the uncontested proceeding (i.e., issues
that are not within the scope of admitted contentions or pending
contested issues), they should be aware that many of the procedures and
rights applicable to the NRC's contested hearing process due to the
inherently adversarial nature of such proceedings are not available
with respect to this uncontested hearing. Participation in the NRC's
contested hearing process is governed by 10 CFR 2.309 (for persons or

interested States, local governments, and Indian Tribes seeking to
participate with respect to contentions filed by others). Participation
in this uncontested hearing does not affect the right of a State, local
government, or Indian Tribe to participate in the separate contested
hearing process.
