03-27559. Carolina Power & Light Company, H.B. Robinson Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation; Notice of Docketing of Materials License SNM-2502 Amendment Application

By letter dated September 3, 2003, Carolina Power and Light Company (CP&L) submitted an application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission), in accordance with 10 CFR part 72, requesting the amendment of the H. B. Robinson (HBR) independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) license (Materials License No. SNM-2502) and the Technical Specifications for the ISFSI located at Darlington County, South Carolina. CP&L is seeking NRC approval to amend the materials license to make editorial changes to the ISFSI's technical specifications. Specifically, CP&L requested changes to the drawing numbers referenced in the technical specifications from the original ISFSI vendor's numbers to the H. B. Robinson plant's numbers used for drawing control. The requested changes do not affect the design, operation, maintenance, or surveillance of the ISFSI.

This application was docketed under 10 CFR part 72; the ISFSI Docket No. is 72-3 and will remain the same for this action. The amendment of an ISFSI license is subject to NRC approval.

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 by the Director, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, or his designee, that the amendment does not present a genuine issue as to whether public health and safety will be significantly affected, the Director may 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of the action taken and an opportunity for interested persons to request a hearing on whether the action should be rescinded or modified.
