The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has docketed a license amendment application from the Department of Energy (DOE or the licensee) for amendment of Materials License No. SNM-2508, for the Three Mile Island 2 (TMI-2) independent spent fuel storage installation located at the Idaho National Laboratory in Butte County, Idaho. If granted, the amendment would update the licensee delegation of authority in the license, the technical specifications, and the final safety analysis report. These documents currently delegate authority under the license to the Manager, DOE Idaho Operations Office. The amendment would replace that reference with the Deputy Manager, Idaho Cleanup Project in each of the documents.

located at the Idaho National Laboratory in Butte County, Idaho. If 
granted, the amendment would update the licensee delegation of 
authority in the license, the technical specifications, and the final 
safety analysis report. These documents currently delegate authority 
under the license to the Manager, DOE Idaho Operations Office. The 
amendment would replace that reference with the Deputy Manager, Idaho 
Cleanup Project in each of the documents.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    By letter dated September 8, 2016, DOE submitted to the NRC an 
application to amend the license, technical specifications, and the 
final safety analysis report, for the TMI-2 independent spent fuel 
storage installation located at the Idaho National Laboratory in Butte 
County, Idaho (ADAMS Accession No. ML16258A191). Materials License No. 
SNM-2508 authorizes the licensee to receive, store, and transfer 
canisters

[[Page 11372]]

containing core debris and damaged spent nuclear fuel from the TMI-2 
reactor. The proposed amendment would revise the licensee delegation of 
authority in the license, the technical specifications, and the final 
safety analysis report. These documents currently delegate authority 
under the license to the Manager, DOE Idaho Operations Office. This 
amendment would replace that reference with the Deputy Manager, Idaho 
Cleanup Project in each of the documents.
    In a letter to DOE dated December 9, 2016, the NRC notified DOE 
that the application was acceptable to begin a technical review (ADAMS 
Accession No. ML16347A192). The NRC's Office of Nuclear Materials 
Safety and Safeguards has docketed this application under Docket No. 
72-20. If the NRC approves the amendment, the approval will be 
documented in an amendment to NRC Materials License No. SNM-2508. The 
Commission will approve the license amendment if it determines that the 
request complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic 
Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and the NRC's rules and regulations, 
and make findings consistent with the National Environmental Policy Act 
and part 51 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR). 
These findings will be documented in a safety evaluation report.

II. Opportunity To Request a Hearing

    The Commission may issue either a notice of hearing or a notice of 
proposed action and opportunity for hearing in accordance with 10 CFR 
72.46(b)(1) or, if a determination is made that the amendment does not 
present a genuine issue as to whether public health and safety will be 
significantly affected, take immediate action on the amendment in 
accordance with 10 CFR 72.46(b)(2), and provide notice of the action 
taken and an opportunity for interested persons to request a hearing on 
whether the action should be rescinded or modified.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 14th day of February, 2017.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Bernard H. White, IV,
Acting Chief, Spent Fuel Licensing Branch, Division of Spent Fuel 
Management, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards.
