SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    On August 26, 2014, FOE filed a Petition to Intervene and Request 
for Hearing (Petition) concerning DCPP (ADAMS Package Accession No. 
ML15226A316). Within this Petition, FOE asserted concerns about DCPP's 
operational safety and ability to safely shut down. The Commission 
referred those concerns to the NRC's EDO \1\ for consideration under 
the regulations in section 2.206 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR), ``Requests for Action Under this Subpart.'' The 
EDO then referred these concerns to the NRC's Office of Nuclear Reactor 
Regulation for consideration under 10 CFR 2.206.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Memorandum and Order CLI-15-14, dated May 21, 2015 (ADAMS 
Accession No. ML15141A084).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On two occasions, the NRC offered the petitioner opportunities to 
address the Petition Review Board (PRB), which was established to 
review the concerns referred to the EDO from the Commission, as 
discussed above. In response, on September 30, 2015, and February 8, 
2016, FOE's attorney provided written submissions on behalf

[[Page 23331]]

of FOE to the PRB in lieu of FOE addressing the PRB in person or via 
telephone (ADAMS Package Accession No. ML15226A316).
    Based on the information described above, the NRC has decided to 
accept the petitioner's concerns referred to the EDO by the Commission 
for consideration under the 10 CFR 2.206 process because these concerns 
meet the criteria provided in Management Directive 8.11, ``Review 
Process for 10 CFR 2.206 Petitions.''

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 12th day of April 2016.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
