permitted to distribute, dispense,
prescribe, conduct research with respect
to, or administer a controlled substance
in the course of practice or research in
this state.’’ Id. Section 28–401(21).
Here, the undisputed evidence in the
record is that Registrant lacks authority
to practice as a physician assistant in
Nebraska. As discussed above, a
physician assistant must be a licensed
practitioner to dispense a controlled
substance in Nebraska. Thus, because
Registrant lacks authority to practice as
a physician assistant in Nebraska and,
therefore, is not authorized to handle
controlled substances in Nebraska,
Registrant is not eligible to maintain a
DEA registration. Accordingly, the
Agency will order that Registrant’s DEA
registration be revoked.
Order
Pursuant to 28 CFR 0.100(b) and the
authority vested in me by 21 U.S.C.
824(a), I hereby revoke DEA Certificate
of Registration No. MV2612681 issued
to Stephen E. Van Noy, P.A. Further,
pursuant to 28 CFR 0.100(b) and the
authority vested in me by 21 U.S.C.
823(g)(1), I hereby deny any pending
applications of Stephen E. Van Noy,
P.A., to renew or modify this
registration, as well as any other
pending application of Stephen E. Van
Noy, P.A., for additional registration in
Nebraska. This Order is effective
November 30, 2023.

Pursuant to section 189.a.(2)
of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as
amended (the Act), the U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC) is

II. Notice of Consideration of Issuance
of Amendments to Facility Operating
Licenses and Combined Licenses and
Proposed No Significant Hazards
Consideration Determination
For the facility-specific amendment
requests shown in this notice, the
Commission finds that the licensees’
analyses provided, consistent with
section 50.91 of title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR) ‘‘Notice
for public comment; State
consultation,’’ are sufficient to support
the proposed determinations that these
amendment requests involve NSHC.
Under the Commission’s regulations in
10 CFR 50.92, operation of the facilities
in accordance with the proposed
amendments would not (1) involve a
significant increase in the probability or
consequences of an accident previously
evaluated; or (2) create the possibility of
a new or different kind of accident from
any accident previously evaluated; or
(3) involve a significant reduction in a
margin of safety.
The Commission is seeking public
comments on these proposed
determinations. Any comments received
within 30 days after the date of
publication of this notice will be
considered in making any final
determinations.
Normally, the Commission will not
issue the amendments until the
expiration of 60 days after the date of
publication of this notice. The
Commission may issue any of these
license amendments before expiration of
the 60-day period provided that its final
determination is that the amendment
involves NSHC. In addition, the
Commission may issue any of these
amendments prior to the expiration of
the 30-day comment period if
circumstances change during the 30-day
comment period such that failure to act
in a timely way would result, for
example in derating or shutdown of the
facility. If the Commission takes action
on any of these amendments prior to the
expiration of either the comment period
or the notice period, it will publish in
the Federal Register a notice of
issuance. If the Commission makes a
final NSHC determination for any of
these amendments, any hearing will
take place after issuance. The
Commission expects that the need to
take action on any amendment before 60
days have elapsed will occur very
infrequently.

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 209 / Tuesday, October 31, 2023 / Notices
A. Opportunity To Request a Hearing
and Petition for Leave To Intervene
Within 60 days after the date of
publication of this notice, any person
(petitioner) whose interest may be
affected by any of these actions may file
a request for a hearing and petition for
leave to intervene (petition) with respect
to that action. Petitions shall be filed in
accordance with the Commission’s
‘‘Agency Rules of Practice and
Procedure’’ in 10 CFR part 2. Interested
persons should consult a current copy
of 10 CFR 2.309. If a petition is filed, the
Commission or a presiding officer will
rule on the petition and, if appropriate,
a notice of a hearing will be issued.
Petitions must be filed no later than
60 days from the date of publication of
this notice in accordance with the filing
instructions in the ‘‘Electronic
Submissions (E-Filing)’’ section of this
document. Petitions and motions for
leave to file new or amended
contentions that are filed after the
deadline will not be entertained absent
a determination by the presiding officer
that the filing demonstrates good cause
by satisfying the three factors in 10 CFR
2.309(c)(1)(i) through (iii).
If a hearing is requested, and the
Commission has not made a final
determination on the issue of no
significant hazards consideration, the
Commission will make a final
determination on the issue of no
significant hazards consideration, which
will serve to establish when the hearing
is held. If the final determination is that
the amendment request involves no
significant hazards consideration, the
Commission may issue the amendment
and make it immediately effective,
notwithstanding the request for a
hearing. Any hearing would take place
after issuance of the amendment. If the
final determination is that the
amendment request involves a
significant hazards consideration, then
any hearing held would take place
before the issuance of the amendment
unless the Commission finds an
imminent danger to the health or safety
of the public, in which case it will issue
an appropriate order or rule under 10
CFR part 2.
A State, local governmental body,
Federally recognized Indian Tribe, or
designated agency thereof, may submit
a petition to the Commission to
participate as a party under 10 CFR
2.309(h) no later than 60 days from the
date of publication of this notice.
Alternatively, a State, local
governmental body, Federally
recognized Indian Tribe, or agency
thereof may participate as a non-party
under 10 CFR 2.315(c).
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 262001
For information about filing a petition
and about participation by a person not
a party under 10 CFR 2.315, see ADAMS
Accession No. ML20340A053 (https://
adamswebsearch2.nrc.gov/webSearch2/

ML20340A053) and on the NRC’s public
website at
https://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/
regulatory/adjudicatory/
hearing.html#participate.
B. Electronic Submissions (E-Filing)
All documents filed in NRC
adjudicatory proceedings, including
documents filed by an interested State,
local governmental body, Federally
recognized Indian Tribe, or designated
agency thereof that requests to
participate under 10 CFR 2.315(c), must
be filed in accordance with 10 CFR
2.302. 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, unless an
exemption permitting an alternative
filing method, as further discussed, is
granted. Detailed guidance on electronic
submissions is located in the ‘‘Guidance
for Electronic Submissions to the NRC’’
(ADAMS Accession No. ML13031A056)
and on the NRC’s public website at
https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html.
To comply with the procedural
requirements of E-Filing, at least 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 (1)
request a digital identification (ID)
certificate, which allows the participant
(or its counsel or representative) to
digitally sign submissions and access
the E-Filing system for any proceeding
in which it is participating; and (2)
advise the Secretary that the participant
will be submitting a petition or other
adjudicatory document (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 proceeding if the
Secretary has not already established an
electronic docket.
Information about applying for a
digital ID certificate is available on the
NRC’s public website at https://
www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/
getting-started.html. After a digital ID
certificate is obtained and a docket
created, the participant must submit
adjudicatory documents in Portable
Document Format. Guidance on
submissions is available on the NRC’s
PO 00000
Frm 00128
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
public website at https://www.nrc.gov/
site-help/electronic-sub-ref-mat.html. A
filing is considered complete at the time
the document is 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. ET on the due date. Upon receipt
of a transmission, the E-Filing system
time-stamps the document and sends
the submitter an email confirming
receipt of the document. The E-Filing
system also distributes an email that
provides access to the document to the
NRC’s 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 document on
those participants separately. Therefore,
applicants and other participants (or
their counsel or representative) must
apply for and receive a digital ID
certificate before adjudicatory
documents are filed to obtain access to
the documents via the E-Filing system.
A person filing electronically using
the NRC’s adjudicatory E-Filing system
may seek assistance by contacting the
NRC’s Electronic Filing Help Desk
through the ‘‘Contact Us’’ link located
on the NRC’s public website at https://
www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html, by email to
MSHD.Resource@nrc.gov, or by a tollfree call at 1–866–672–7640. The NRC
Electronic Filing Help Desk is available
between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., ET, Monday
through Friday, except Federal holidays.
Participants who believe that they
have 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 stating why there is good cause for
not filing electronically and requesting
authorization to continue to submit
documents in paper format. Such filings
must be submitted in accordance with
10 CFR 2.302(b)–(d). Participants filing
adjudicatory documents in this manner
are responsible for serving their
documents on all other participants.
Participants granted an exemption
under 10 CFR 2.302(g)(2) must still meet
the electronic formatting requirement in
10 CFR 2.302(g)(1), unless the
participant also seeks and is granted an
exemption from 10 CFR 2.302(g)(1).
Documents submitted in adjudicatory
proceedings will appear in the NRC’s
electronic hearing docket, which is
publicly available at https://
adams.nrc.gov/ehd, unless excluded
pursuant to an order of the presiding
officer. If you do not have an NRCissued digital ID certificate as
previously described, click ‘‘cancel’’
when the link requests certificates and

you will be automatically directed to the
NRC’s electronic hearing dockets where
you will be able to access any publicly
available documents in a particular
hearing docket. Participants are
requested not to include personal
privacy information such as social
security numbers, home addresses, or
personal 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
excerpts that serve the purpose of the
adjudicatory filings and would
constitute a Fair Use application,
participants should not include
copyrighted materials in their
submission.

The proposed amendment to the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant (Harris) technical specifications (TS) will modify the TS Surveillance Requirement (SR) 4.6.1.1
to eliminate the requirement to perform periodic position verification for containment penetrations that are maintained locked, sealed, or otherwise secured
closed, as well as adopt Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) Improved
Standard TS (ISTS) Change Traveler No. 45 (TSTF–45–A), Revision 2, ‘‘Exempt
Verification of Containment Isolation Valves that are Not Locked, Sealed, or Otherwise Secured.’’ The proposed amendment will also revise TS 3.3.3.5, ‘‘Remote
Shutdown System,’’ to increase the completion time for inoperable Remote Shutdown System components to a time that is more consistent with their safety significance and remove the requirement to submit a Special Report. It will also relocate
the content in Table 3.3–9, ‘‘Remote Shutdown System,’’ and Table 4.3–6, ‘‘Remote Shutdown Monitoring Instrumentation Surveillance Requirements,’’ in accordance with TSTF–266–A, Revision 3, ‘‘Eliminate the Remote Shutdown System
Table of Instrumentation and Controls.’’ Additionally, the proposed amendment will
update SR 4.3.1.1, Table 4.3–1, ‘‘Reactor Trip System Instrumentation Surveillance Requirements,’’ to address the application of the Surveillance Frequency
Control Program to establish the frequency for performance of the Analog Channel
Operational Test of select Reactor Trip System instrumentation. Finally, changes
are proposed to the administrative controls section of the Harris TS to reflect current organizational titles as well as remove reporting requirements that are redundant to existing regulations. The aforementioned proposed changes reflect requirements consistent with those in Revision 5 of NUREG–1431, ‘‘Standard Technical
Specifications—Westinghouse Plants.’’

which are not applicable to the current design features of the NMP site. Specifically, Section 5.0, ‘‘Design Features,’’ in the NMP1 TS and Section 4.0, ‘‘Design
Features,’’ Figure 4.1–1 in the NMP2 TS would be revised to reflect as they were
prior to the issuance of License Amendments Nos. 212 (NMP1) and 142 (NMP2),
which were issued on July 12, 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12157A556). In
addition, the name ‘‘Entergy Nuclear FitzPatrick, LLC’’ would be revised on Figure

Power Plant, LLC,’’ to reflect the current name of the licensee for the James A.
Fitzpatrick nuclear power plant site. The original license amendment requests associated with License Amendment Nos. 212 and 142 were submitted with reference to the Combined License (COL) application supporting the proposed NMP3
project. Following receipt of the aforementioned approved amendments, Constellation Energy Nuclear Group, LLC (CENG), the previous owners of NMP1 and
NMP2, halted further progress in pursuing a COL for NMP3. As a result, CENG
decided not to implement the changes into the NMP1 and NMP2 TS. Additionally,
CEG has no proposed plans for NMP3.

III. Notice of Issuance of Amendments
to Facility Operating Licenses and
Combined Licenses and Final
Determination of No Significant
Hazards Consideration and
Opportunity for a Hearing (Exigent
Circumstances or Emergency Situation)
Since publication of the last monthly

following amendments. The
Commission has determined for these
amendments that the application for the
amendment complies with the
standards and requirements of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended
(the Act), and the Commission’s rules
and regulations. The Commission has
made appropriate findings as required
by the Act and the Commission’s rules
and regulations in 10 CFR chapter I,
which are set forth in these license
amendments.
Because of exigent circumstances or
emergency situation associated with the
date the amendments were needed,
there was not time for the Commission
to publish, for public comment before
issuance, its usual notice of

The amendment revised the Callaway technical specifications to allow loading of a
limited number of Framatome, Inc GAIA fuel with M5® as a fuel cladding material
in operating cycle 27 to obtain incore performance data and acquire operational
experience associated with the GAIA fuel design. In addition to this amendment,
the NRC issued an exemption from certain requirements of 10 CFR 50.46, ‘‘Acceptance criteria for emergency core cooling systems [(ECCS)] for light-water nuclear power reactors,’’ and 10 CFR part 50, appendix K, ‘‘ECCS Evaluation Models,’’ to allow the use of Framatome M5® alloy as a fuel rod cladding material.

determination, and opportunity for a
hearing.
For exigent circumstances, the
Commission has either issued a Federal
Register notice providing opportunity
for public comment or has used local
media to provide notice to the public in
the area surrounding a licensee’s facility
of the licensee’s application and of the
Commission’s proposed determination
of NSHC. The Commission has provided
a reasonable opportunity for the public
to comment, using its best efforts to
make available to the public means of
communication for the public to
respond quickly, and in the case of
telephone comments, the comments
have been recorded or transcribed as
appropriate and the licensee has been
informed of the public comments.
In circumstances where failure to act
in a timely way would have resulted, for
example, in derating or shutdown of a
nuclear power plant or in prevention of
either resumption of operation or of
increase in power output up to the
plant’s licensed power level, the
Commission may not have had an
opportunity to provide for public
comment on its NSHC determination. In
PO 00000
Frm 00135
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
such case, the license amendment has
been issued without opportunity for
comment prior to issuance. If there has
been some time for public comment but
less than 30 days, the Commission may
provide an opportunity for public
comment. If comments have been
requested, it is so stated. In either event,
the State has been consulted by
telephone whenever possible.
Under its regulations, the Commission
may issue and make an amendment
immediately effective, notwithstanding
the pendency before it of a request for
a hearing from any person, in advance
of the holding and completion of any
required hearing, where it has
determined that NSHC is involved.
The Commission has applied the
standards of 10 CFR 50.92 and has made
a final determination that the
amendments involve NSHC. The basis
for this determination is contained in
the documents related to each action.
Accordingly, the amendments have
been issued and made effective as
indicated. For those amendments that
have not been previously noticed in the
Federal Register, within 60 days after
the date of publication of this notice,

any persons (petitioner) whose interest
may be affected by this action may file
a request for a hearing and petition for
leave to intervene (petition) with respect
to the action. Petitions shall be filed in
accordance with the guidance
concerning the Commission’s ‘‘Agency
Rules of Practice and Procedure’’ in 10
CFR part 2 as discussed in section II.A
of this document.
Unless otherwise indicated, the
Commission has determined that the
amendments satisfy the criteria for
categorical exclusion in accordance
with 10 CFR 51.22. Therefore, pursuant
to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental
impact statement or environmental
assessment need be prepared for these
amendments. If the Commission has
prepared an environmental assessment
under the special circumstances
provision in 10 CFR 51.12(b) and has
made a determination based on that
assessment, it is so indicated in the
safety evaluation for the amendment.
For further details with respect to
these actions, see the amendment and
associated documents such as the
Commission’s letter and safety
evaluation, which may be obtained
using the ADAMS accession numbers
indicated in the following table. The
safety evaluation will provide the
ADAMS accession numbers for the
application for amendment and the
Federal Register citation for any
environmental assessment. All of these
items can be accessed as described in
the ‘‘Obtaining Information and
Submitting Comments’’ section of this
document.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[NRC-2023-0183]
Monthly Notice; Applications and Amendments to Facility Operating
Licenses and Combined Licenses Involving No Significant Hazards
Considerations
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Monthly notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
[[Page 74527]]
SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 189.a.(2) of the Atomic Energy Act of
1954, as amended (the Act), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) is publishing this regular monthly notice. The Act requires the
Commission to publish notice of any amendments issued, or proposed to
be issued, and grants the Commission the authority to issue and make
immediately effective any amendment to an operating license or combined
license, as applicable, upon a determination by the Commission that
such amendment involves no significant hazards consideration (NSHC),
notwithstanding the pendency before the Commission of a request for a
hearing from any person.
DATES: Comments must be filed by November 30, 2023. A request for a
hearing or petitions for leave to intervene must be filed by January 2,
2024. This monthly notice includes all amendments issued, or proposed

to the public or entering the comment into ADAMS.
II. Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendments to Facility
Operating Licenses and Combined Licenses and Proposed No Significant
Hazards Consideration Determination
For the facility-specific amendment requests shown in this notice,
the Commission finds that the licensees' analyses provided, consistent
with section 50.91 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10
CFR) ``Notice for public comment; State consultation,'' are sufficient
to support the proposed determinations that these amendment requests
involve NSHC. Under the Commission's regulations in 10 CFR 50.92,
operation of the facilities in accordance with the proposed amendments
would not (1) involve a significant increase in the probability or
consequences of an accident previously evaluated; or (2) create the
possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident
previously evaluated; or (3) involve a significant reduction in a
margin of safety.
The Commission is seeking public comments on these proposed
determinations. Any comments received within 30 days after the date of
publication of this notice will be considered in making any final
determinations.
Normally, the Commission will not issue the amendments until the
expiration of 60 days after the date of publication of this notice. The
Commission may issue any of these license amendments before expiration
of the 60-day period provided that its final determination is that the
amendment involves NSHC. In addition, the Commission may issue any of
these amendments prior to the expiration of the 30-day comment period
if circumstances change during the 30-day comment period such that
failure to act in a timely way would result, for example in derating or
shutdown of the facility. If the Commission takes action on any of
these amendments prior to the expiration of either the comment period
or the notice period, it will publish in the Federal Register a notice
of issuance. If the Commission makes a final NSHC determination for any
of these amendments, any hearing will take place after issuance. The
Commission expects that the need to take action on any amendment before
60 days have elapsed will occur very infrequently.
[[Page 74528]]
A. Opportunity To Request a Hearing and Petition for Leave To Intervene
Within 60 days after the date of publication of this notice, any
person (petitioner) whose interest may be affected by any of these
actions may file a request for a hearing and petition for leave to
intervene (petition) with respect to that action. Petitions shall be
filed in accordance with the Commission's ``Agency Rules of Practice
and Procedure'' in 10 CFR part 2. Interested persons should consult a
current copy of 10 CFR 2.309. If a petition is filed, the Commission or
a presiding officer will rule on the petition and, if appropriate, a
notice of a hearing will be issued.
Petitions must be filed no later than 60 days from the date of
publication of this notice in accordance with the filing instructions
in the ``Electronic Submissions (E-Filing)'' section of this document.
Petitions and motions for leave to file new or amended contentions that
are filed after the deadline will not be entertained absent a
determination by the presiding officer that the filing demonstrates
good cause by satisfying the three factors in 10 CFR 2.309(c)(1)(i)
through (iii).
If a hearing is requested, and the Commission has not made a final
determination on the issue of no significant hazards consideration, the
Commission will make a final determination on the issue of no
significant hazards consideration, which will serve to establish when
the hearing is held. If the final determination is that the amendment
request involves no significant hazards consideration, the Commission
may issue the amendment and make it immediately effective,
notwithstanding the request for a hearing. Any hearing would take place
after issuance of the amendment. If the final determination is that the
amendment request involves a significant hazards consideration, then
any hearing held would take place before the issuance of the amendment
unless the Commission finds an imminent danger to the health or safety
of the public, in which case it will issue an appropriate order or rule
under 10 CFR part 2.
A State, local governmental body, Federally recognized Indian
Tribe, or designated agency thereof, may submit a petition to the
Commission to participate as a party under 10 CFR 2.309(h) no later
than 60 days from the date of publication of this notice.
Alternatively, a State, local governmental body, Federally recognized
Indian Tribe, or agency thereof may participate as a non-party under 10
CFR 2.315(c).
For information about filing a petition and about participation by
a person not a party under 10 CFR 2.315, see ADAMS Accession No.
ML20340A053 (https://adamswebsearch2.nrc.gov/webSearch2/main.jsp?AccessionNumber=ML20340A053) and on the NRC's public website
at
https://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/regulatory/adjudicatory/hearing.html#participate.
B. Electronic Submissions (E-Filing)
All documents filed in NRC adjudicatory proceedings, including
documents filed by an interested State, local governmental body,
Federally recognized Indian Tribe, or designated agency thereof that
requests to participate under 10 CFR 2.315(c), must be filed in
accordance with 10 CFR 2.302. 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,
unless an exemption permitting an alternative filing method, as further
discussed, is granted. Detailed guidance on electronic submissions is
located in the ``Guidance for Electronic Submissions to the NRC''
(ADAMS Accession No. ML13031A056) and on the NRC's public website at
https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html.
To comply with the procedural requirements of E-Filing, at least 10
days prior to the filing deadline, the participant should contact the
Office of the Secretary by email at [email protected], or by
telephone at 301-415-1677, to (1) request a digital identification (ID)
certificate, which allows the participant (or its counsel or
representative) to digitally sign submissions and access the E-Filing
system for any proceeding in which it is participating; and (2) advise
the Secretary that the participant will be submitting a petition or
other adjudicatory document (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 proceeding if the
Secretary has not already established an electronic docket.
Information about applying for a digital ID certificate is
available on the NRC's public website at https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/getting-started.html. After a digital ID certificate is
obtained and a docket created, the participant must submit adjudicatory
documents in Portable Document Format. Guidance on submissions is
available on the NRC's public website at https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/electronic-sub-ref-mat.html. A filing is considered complete at the
time the document is 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. ET on the due date. Upon receipt of a
transmission, the E-Filing system time-stamps the document and sends
the submitter an email confirming receipt of the document. The E-Filing
system also distributes an email that provides access to the document
to the NRC's 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 document on those
participants separately. Therefore, applicants and other participants
(or their counsel or representative) must apply for and receive a
digital ID certificate before adjudicatory documents are filed to
obtain access to the documents via the E-Filing system.
A person filing electronically using the NRC's adjudicatory E-
Filing system may seek assistance by contacting the NRC's Electronic
Filing Help Desk through the ``Contact Us'' link located on the NRC's
public website at https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html, by
email to [email protected], or by a toll-free call at 1-866-672-
7640. The NRC Electronic Filing Help Desk is available between 9 a.m.
and 6 p.m., ET, Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.
Participants who believe that they have 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
stating why there is good cause for not filing electronically and
requesting authorization to continue to submit documents in paper
format. Such filings must be submitted in accordance with 10 CFR
2.302(b)-(d). Participants filing adjudicatory documents in this manner
are responsible for serving their documents on all other participants.
Participants granted an exemption under 10 CFR 2.302(g)(2) must still
meet the electronic formatting requirement in 10 CFR 2.302(g)(1),
unless the participant also seeks and is granted an exemption from 10
CFR 2.302(g)(1).
Documents submitted in adjudicatory proceedings will appear in the
NRC's electronic hearing docket, which is publicly available at https://adams.nrc.gov/ehd, unless excluded pursuant to an order of the
presiding officer. If you do not have an NRC-issued digital ID
certificate as previously described, click ``cancel'' when the link
requests certificates and
[[Page 74529]]
you will be automatically directed to the NRC's electronic hearing
dockets where you will be able to access any publicly available
documents in a particular hearing docket. Participants are requested
not to include personal privacy information such as social security
numbers, home addresses, or personal 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
excerpts that serve the purpose of the adjudicatory filings and would
constitute a Fair Use application, participants should not include
copyrighted materials in their submission.
The following table provides the plant name, docket number, date of
application, ADAMS accession number, and location in the application of
the licensees' proposed NSHC determinations. For further details with
respect to these license amendment applications, see the applications
for amendment, which are available for public inspection in ADAMS. For
additional direction on accessing information related to this document,

Features,'' Figure 4.1-1 in the
NMP2 TS would be revised to reflect
as they were prior to the issuance
of License Amendments Nos. 212
(NMP1) and 142 (NMP2), which were
issued on July 12, 2012 (ADAMS
Accession No. ML12157A556). In
addition, the name ``Entergy
Nuclear FitzPatrick, LLC'' would be
revised on Figure 5.1-1 for NMP1
and Figure 4.1-1 for NMP2 to
``James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear
Power Plant, LLC,'' to reflect the
current name of the licensee for
the James A. Fitzpatrick nuclear
power plant site. The original
license amendment requests
associated with License Amendment
Nos. 212 and 142 were submitted
with reference to the Combined
License (COL) application
supporting the proposed NMP3
project. Following receipt of the
aforementioned approved amendments,
Constellation Energy Nuclear Group,
LLC (CENG), the previous owners of
NMP1 and NMP2, halted further
progress in pursuing a COL for
NMP3. As a result, CENG decided not
to implement the changes into the
NMP1 and NMP2 TS. Additionally, CEG
has no proposed plans for NMP3.

III. Notice of Issuance of Amendments to Facility Operating Licenses
and Combined Licenses and Final Determination of No Significant Hazards
Consideration and Opportunity for a Hearing (Exigent Circumstances or
Emergency Situation)
Since publication of the last monthly notice, the Commission has
issued the following amendments. The Commission has determined for
these amendments that the application for the amendment complies with
the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as
amended (the Act), and the Commission's rules and regulations. The
Commission has made appropriate findings as required by the Act and the
Commission's rules and regulations in 10 CFR chapter I, which are set
forth in these license amendments.
Because of exigent circumstances or emergency situation associated
with the date the amendments were needed, there was not time for the
Commission to publish, for public comment before issuance, its usual
notice of consideration of issuance of amendment, proposed NSHC
determination, and opportunity for a hearing.
For exigent circumstances, the Commission has either issued a
Federal Register notice providing opportunity for public comment or has
used local media to provide notice to the public in the area
surrounding a licensee's facility of the licensee's application and of
the Commission's proposed determination of NSHC. The Commission has
provided a reasonable opportunity for the public to comment, using its
best efforts to make available to the public means of communication for
the public to respond quickly, and in the case of telephone comments,
the comments have been recorded or transcribed as appropriate and the
licensee has been informed of the public comments.
In circumstances where failure to act in a timely way would have
resulted, for example, in derating or shutdown of a nuclear power plant
or in prevention of either resumption of operation or of increase in
power output up to the plant's licensed power level, the Commission may
not have had an opportunity to provide for public comment on its NSHC
determination. In such case, the license amendment has been issued
without opportunity for comment prior to issuance. If there has been
some time for public comment but less than 30 days, the Commission may
provide an opportunity for public comment. If comments have been
requested, it is so stated. In either event, the State has been
consulted by telephone whenever possible.
Under its regulations, the Commission may issue and make an
amendment immediately effective, notwithstanding the pendency before it
of a request for a hearing from any person, in advance of the holding
and completion of any required hearing, where it has determined that
NSHC is involved.
The Commission has applied the standards of 10 CFR 50.92 and has
made a final determination that the amendments involve NSHC. The basis
for this determination is contained in the documents related to each
action. Accordingly, the amendments have been issued and made effective
as indicated. For those amendments that have not been previously
noticed in the Federal Register, within 60 days after the date of
publication of this notice,
[[Page 74536]]
any persons (petitioner) whose interest may be affected by this action
may file a request for a hearing and petition for leave to intervene
(petition) with respect to the action. Petitions shall be filed in
accordance with the guidance concerning the Commission's ``Agency Rules
of Practice and Procedure'' in 10 CFR part 2 as discussed in section
II.A of this document.
Unless otherwise indicated, the Commission has determined that the
amendments satisfy the criteria for categorical exclusion in accordance
with 10 CFR 51.22. Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no
environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be
prepared for these amendments. If the Commission has prepared an
environmental assessment under the special circumstances provision in
10 CFR 51.12(b) and has made a determination based on that assessment,
