facility in Lea County would not be
significant. Likewise, the safety review
concluded that the potential impacts of
transporting AHF product from a
deconversion facility during normal
operations would not be significant.
Environmental Impacts of the
Alternatives to the Proposed Action
As an alternative to the proposed
license amendment, the NRC staff
considered taking no action, which
would leave LC 14 in effect in the
license. If the condition remains in
effect, UUSA would not be able to ship
DUF6 to a deconversion facility that
produces AHF. As long as no such
deconversion facility exists in the U.S.,
the impacts of not removing the license
condition would be the same as the
near-term reasonably foreseeable
impacts of removing the license
condition. That is, UUSA would
continue to store DUF6 containers onsite
and could choose to ship some DUF6 to
a deconversion facility that produces
aqueous hydrogen fluoride. If a
deconversion facility producing AHF
becomes operational in the future,
UUSA would not be authorized under
the no action alternative to ship DUF6
to that facility.
Agencies and Persons Consulted
In accordance with NRC policy, on
April 4, 2025, the NRC staff provided a
draft of the EA to the State of New
Mexico for review. The NRC received no
comments from the State.
Under the National Historic
Preservation Act (NHPA), the NRC’s
approval of the license amendment
would constitute a Federal undertaking.
In reviewing UUSA’s application, the
NRC staff concluded the proposed
action to remove LC 14 is not a type of
activity that has the potential to cause
effects on any historic properties that
may be present. Therefore, following 36
CFR 800.3(a)(1), the NRC has no further
obligations under section 106 of the
NHPA.
Similarly, under the Endangered
Species Act the staff determined that
even if endangered or candidate species
are present in the vicinity of the UUSA
facility, the proposed removal of LC 14
would not affect such species or their
habitats. The proposed action would not
result in construction or land
disturbance and operations would
continue inside existing buildings.
Therefore, the NRC has determined that
no further consultation is required
under section 7 of the Endangered
Species Act.
III. Finding of No Significant Impact
The NRC staff reviewed the proposed
action in accordance with the
requirements of 10 CFR part 51. The
NRC staff concludes that approval of
UUSA’s request to remove LC 14 would
not significantly affect the quality of the
human environment. As described in
section 4 of the EA, approval of the
proposed action would only result in
UUSA being allowed another option for
shipping DUF6 from the enrichment
facility. The license amendment would
not result in changes to operations at the
facility and would not affect land use,
ecological resources, historic and
cultural resources, air quality, or water
quality; would not result in construction
or soil disturbance, changes to noise,
chemical or waste management, or
visual aspects of the facility; and would
not result in staffing changes that could
affect socioeconomic resources. The
NRC does not expect significant
radiological or non-radiological impacts
on public and occupational health or
from transportation effects associated
with shipping DUF6 to a different type
of facility.
Therefore, the NRC staff has
determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR
51.31, preparation of an environmental
impact statement is not required for this
proposed action, and pursuant to 10
CFR 51.32, a finding of no significant
impact is appropriate. In accordance
with 10 CFR 51.32(a)(4), this FONSI
incorporates the EA summarized in this
notice by reference.

Long Mott Energy, LLC.; Long Mott
Generating Station; Construction
Permit Application
Nuclear Regulatory
Commission.
ACTION: Acceptance for docketing,
opportunity to request a hearing and
petition for leave to intervene; order
imposing procedures.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) has accepted for
review and docketed an application
from Long Mott Energy, LLC (LME) for
a construction permit for a four-unit
reactor facility to be built in Calhoun
County, Texas. In addition, the NRC is
providing notice that an uncontested
hearing will be held on the LME
construction permit application at a
time and place to be set in the future by
the presiding officer for the uncontested
hearing. This notice also provides the
public an opportunity to request a
hearing and petition for leave to
intervene (i.e., contested hearing) with
respect to that application. The NRC
staff is currently conducting a detailed
technical review of the construction
permit application. If the NRC issues a
construction permit, the applicant,
LME, would be authorized to construct
its proposed reactor facility in
accordance with the provisions of the
construction permit. Because the
application contains Sensitive
Unclassified Non-Safeguards
Information (SUNSI), this notice
includes an order that imposes
procedures to obtain access to SUNSI
for contention preparation.
DATES: The application was docketed on
March 31, 2025. A request for a hearing

potential party as defined in § 2.4 of title
10 of the Code of Federal Regulations
