NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50-267]
Notice of Receipt of the Public Service Company of Colorado
Decommissioning/Termination Plan for the Fort St. Vrain Nuclear
Generating Station
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is noticing the receipt
and reapproval of the Public Service Company's (PSC) of Colorado
Decommissioning Plan (DP) as the Termination Plan for the Fort St.
Vrain (FSV) Nuclear Generating Station, located near Platteville,
Colorado.
Background: NRC initially published a Notice of Consideration of
Issuance of Orders to Authorize Decommissioning and Termination of
Possession-Only License in the Federal Register on March 13, 1992 (57
FR 8940) and no comments or requests for hearing were received. On
November 23, 1992, NRC issued Amendment No. 85, to License No. DPR-34,
which incorporated the DP into the license, and issued an Order
Approving the DP and Authorizing Decommissioning. In addition, on
November 12, 1996, NRC published in the Federal Register (61 FR 58087)
a Notice of a Public Meeting with the PSC to discuss the
decommissioning and license termination of the FSV. The Public Meeting
was held on December 3, 1996, in the vicinity of the plant, and no
comments or requests for a hearing were received.
ACTION: In accordance with NRC's revised decommissioning regulations,
specifically 10 CFR 50.82(a)(9)(iii), and based upon the comprehensive
nature of DP, as amended, NRC is accepting the approved DP as the
licensee's Termination Plan, and noticing the receipt of the FSV DP and
its availability for public comment. Pursuant to a request by the
licensee, an amendment is being considered to the license redesignating
the FSV DP as the Termination Plan, as now required by NRC's
regulations, and approving the Termination Plan. See 10 CFR
50.82(a)(10).
HEARING: The scope of 10 CFR Part 2, Subpart L, ``Informal Hearing
Procedures for Adjudications in Materials Licensing Proceedings,''
includes a hearing on power reactor decommissioning license amendments
subsequent to permanent removal of the fuel from the reactor.
Accordingly, pursuant to 10 CFR 2.1205(a), any person whose interest
may be affected by this proceeding, may request a hearing in accordance
with 10 CFR 2.1205(d). A request for a hearing must be filed within
thirty (30) days of the date of publication of this Federal Register
notice.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.1205(e), a request for a hearing filed
by a person other than an applicant must describe in detail:
(1) The interest of the requester in the proceeding;
(2) How that interest may be affected by the results of the
proceeding, including the reasons why the requester
[[Page 10882]]
should be permitted a hearing, with particular reference to the factors
set out in 10 CFR 2.1205(h);
(3) The requester's areas of concern about the licensing activity
that is the subject matter of the proceeding; and
(4) The circumstances establishing that the request for a hearing
is timely in accordance with 10 CFR 2.1205(d).
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.1205(f), each request for a hearing
must also be served, by delivering it personally or by mail, to:
(1) The applicant, Public Service Company of Colorado, 16805 WCR 19
\1/2\, Platteville, Colorado, Attention: Mr. A. Clegg Crawford, Vice
President, Engineering and Operations Support, and

and Service Branch; or hand-deliver comments to: 11555 Rockville Pike,
Rockville, MD between 7:45 a.m. and 4:15 p.m., Federal workdays.
If no request for a Subpart L hearing is received, the license will
be amended to approve the Termination Plan, after the thirty (30) day
period for requesting a hearing has expired. Thereafter, once the
determinations required under 10 CFR 50.82(a)(11) have been made, NRC
will terminate the license without further opportunity for hearing.
A copy of the DP is available for public inspection and copying at
NRC's Public Document Room, 2120 L Street, NW., Washington, DC 20555.
