ACTION: Early site permit application; acceptance for docketing. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: On May 12, 2016, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) submitted an application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for an early site permit (ESP) for the Clinch River Nuclear Site located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. A notice of receipt and availability of this application was published in the Federal Register on June 23, 2016. The TVA also provided supplemental information in support of the application to the NRC. [[Page 3813]] DATES: The NRC received the ESP application on May 12, 2016, and docketed it on December 30, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Introduction Pursuant to Section 103 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (AEA), and part 52 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ``Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants,'' the applicant, TVA, filed an application with the NRC for an ESP in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. In accordance with subpart A of 10 CFR part 52, an applicant may seek an ESP separate from the filing of an application for a construction permit (CP) or combined license (COL) for a nuclear power facility. The ESP process allows resolution of issues relating to siting. At any time during the period of an ESP (up to 20 years), the permit holder may reference the permit in an application for a CP or COL. The NRC staff has determined that TVA has submitted information in accordance with 10 CFR part 2, ``Agency Rules of Practice and Procedure'' and 10 CFR part 52, ``Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants,'' that is sufficiently complete and acceptable for docketing. The docket number for this application is ``52-047.'' II. Further Information The NRC staff will perform a detailed technical review of the application, and docketing of the ESP application does not preclude the NRC from requesting additional information from the applicant as the review proceeds, nor does it predict whether the Commission will grant or deny the application. The Commission will receive a report on the application from the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards in accordance with 10 CFR 52.23. An Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel will conduct a hearing in accordance with 10 CFR 52.21 and will make an initial decision on the issuance of the permit for the Commission. If the Commission then finds that the application meets the applicable standards of the AEA and the Commission's regulations, and that required notifications to other agencies and bodies have been made, the Commission will issue an ESP, in the form and containing conditions and limitations that the Commission finds appropriate and necessary. In accordance with 10 CFR part 51, the Commission will also prepare an environmental impact statement for the proposed action. Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.26, and as part of the environmental scoping process, the staff intends to hold a public scoping meeting. Detailed information regarding this meeting will be included in a future Federal Register notice. Finally, the Commission will announce, in a Federal Register notice, the opportunity to petition for leave to intervene in the hearing required for this application by 10 CFR 52.21. III.
