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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:42 Sep 30, 2024
Jkt 265001
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.
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/

ML20340A053) and on the NRC’s public
website at https://www.nrc.gov/aboutnrc/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
E:\FR\FM\01OCN1.SGM
01OCN1
79970
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 190 / Tuesday, October 1, 2024 / Notices
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/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 docket 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

public inspection in ADAMS. For

NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[NRC-2024-0165]
Monthly Notice; Applications and Amendments to Facility Operating
Licenses and Combined Licenses Involving No Significant Hazards
Considerations
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Monthly notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 189a.(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 October 31, 2024. A request for a
hearing or petitions for leave to intervene must be filed by December

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.
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
[[Page 79970]]
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 you will be automatically directed to the
NRC's electronic hearing docket 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

III. Notice of Issuance of Amendments to Facility Operating Licenses
and Combined Licenses
During the period since publication of the last monthly notice, the
Commission has issued the following amendments. The Commission has
determined for each of these amendments that the application 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 the license amendment.
A notice of consideration of issuance of amendment to facility
operating license or combined license, as applicable, proposed NSHC
determination, and opportunity for a hearing in connection with these
actions, were published in the Federal Register as indicated in the
safety evaluation for each amendment.
Unless otherwise indicated, the Commission has determined that
these 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 51.22(b) and has made a determination based on that
[[Page 79972]]
assessment, it is so indicated in the safety evaluation for the
amendment.
For further details with respect to each action, 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
