Approval of the request would allow GE to sell the released portion of the property to a non-GE controlled entity. The NRC is requesting public comment on the contemplated action and invites stakeholders and interested persons to participate. The NRC plans to hold a public meeting to promote full understanding of the contemplated action and facilitate public comment. DATES: Submit comments by October 5, 2015.

You may obtain publicly-available information related to this action by any of the following methods: Federal rulemaking Web site: Go to http://www.regulations.gov and search for Docket ID NRC-2015-0169. NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS): You may obtain publicly-available documents online in the ADAMS Public Documents collection at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. To begin the search, select ``ADAMS Public Documents'' and then select ``Begin Web-based ADAMS Search.'' For problems with ADAMS, please contact the NRC's Public Document Room (PDR) reference staff at 1-800-397-4209, 301-415-4737, or by email to [email protected]. The ADAMS accession number for each document referenced (if it is available in ADAMS) is provided the first time that it is mentioned in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section. NRC's PDR: You may examine and purchase copies of public documents at the NRC's PDR, Room O1-F21, One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852. I. Background The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has received, by letter dated April 24, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15114A437), a request from GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GE or licensee), to approve a partial site release of its Vallecitos Nuclear Center (VNC) site located at 6705 Vallecitos Rd, Sunol, California. The VNC site contains two facilities licensed as power reactors under part 50, ``Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities,'' of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR). Both units, Vallecitos Boiling Water Reactor (VBWR), NRC License DPR-1, Docket 50-18, and Empire State Atomic Development Agency Vallecitos Experimental Superheat Reactor (EVESR), NRC License DR-10, Docket 50-183, are shut down per NRC regulations in 10 CFR 50.82(a). These units are in ``SAFSTOR'' mode awaiting the termination of the power reactor licenses. In accordance with 10 CFR 50.83, ``Release of Part of a Power Reactor Facility or Site for Unrestricted Use,'' the licensee requests release from the NRC licenses, for unrestricted use, of an approximately 610-acre parcel, in the northern section of the approximately 1,600 acre VNC site. The licensee is declaring the parcel as ``non-impacted'' per the definition in 10 CFR 50.2. Approval of the request will allow GE to sell the released portion to a non-GE controlled entity. The NRC will determine whether the licensee has adequately evaluated the effect of releasing the property per the requirements of 10 CFR 50.83(a)(1), and determine whether the licensee's classification of any released areas as ``non-impacted'' is adequately justified. If the NRC determines that the licensee's submittal is adequate, the NRC will inform the licensee in writing that the release is approved. II. Public Meeting The NRC will conduct a public meeting to discuss GE's request for approval of the partial site release. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, July 22, 2015, from 6:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m., Pacific Daylight Time, at the Holiday Inn Dublin, 6680 Regional St., Dublin, CA 94568. This is a Category 3 public meeting where stakeholders are invited to fully engage NRC staff to provide a range of views, information, concerns and suggestions with regard to regulatory issues concerning the proposed action. After the licensee and NRC staff presentation portions of the meeting, the public is allowed to speak and ask questions. Comments can be provided orally or in writing to the NRC staff present at the meeting. The NRC provides reasonable accommodation to individuals with disabilities where appropriate. If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate in these public meetings, or need this meeting notice or the transcript or other information from the public meetings in another format (e.g., braille, large print), please notify Kimberly Meyer, NRC Disability Program Manager, at 301-287-0739, by videophone at 240-428- 3217, or by email at [email protected]. Determinations on requests for reasonable accommodation will be made on a case-by-case basis. Stakeholders should monitor the NRC's public meeting Web site for information about the public meeting at: http://www.nrc.gov/public-involve/public-meetings/index.cfm. The agenda [[Page 42847]] will be posted no later than 10 days prior to the meeting. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 10th day of July, 2015. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Andrew Persinko, Deputy Director, Division of Decommissioning, Uranium Recovery, and Waste Programs, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards.
