NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No.: 070-00925]
Notice of Consideration of Amendment Request for Decommissioning
the Cimarron Corporation Former Fuel Fabrication Facility in Crescent,
Oklahoma, and Opportunity for a Hearing
AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is considering issuance of a
license amendment to Nuclear Material License No. SNM-928, issued to
the Cimarron Corporation (the licensee), to authorize decommissioning
of its facility previously used as a fuel fabrication facility.
On April 19, 1995, the licensee submitted a site decommissioning
plan (SDP) to NRC for review that summarized the decommissioning
activities that will be undertaken to remove soils and rubble
contaminated with radioactive material.
NRC will require the licensee to remediate the Cimarron facility to
meet NRC's decommissioning criteria, and during the decommissioning
activities, to maintain effluents and doses within NRC requirements and
as low as reasonably achievable.
Prior to approving the SDP, NRC will have made findings required by
the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and NRC's regulations. These
findings will be documented in a Safety Evaluation Report and an
Environmental Assessment Approval of the SDP will be documented in an
amendment to License No. SNM-928.
NRC hereby provides notice that this is a proceeding on an
application for amendment of a license falling within the scope of
Subpart L, ``Informal Hearing Procedures for Adjudication in Materials
Licensing Proceedings,'' of NRC's rules and practice for domestic
licensing proceedings in 10 CFR Part 2. Pursuant to Sec. 2.1205(a), any
person whose interest may be affected by this proceeding may file a
request for a hearing in accordance with Sec. 2.1205(c). A request for
a hearing must be filed within thirty (30) days of the date of
publication of this Federal Register notice.
The request for a hearing must be filed with the Office of the
Secretary, either:
1. By delivery to the Docketing and Services Branch, Office of the
Secretary at One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD
20852-2738; or
2. By mail or telegram addressed to the Secretary, U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001. Attention: Docketing
and Services Branch.
In addition to meeting other applicable requirements of 10 CFR Part
2 of NRC's regulations, 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 requestor should be permitted
a hearing, with particular reference to the factors set out in
Sec. 2.1205(g);
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 Sec. 2.1205(c).
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.1205(e), each request for a hearing
must also be served, by delivering it personally or by mail, to:
1. The applicant, Cimarron Corporation, P.O. Box 25861, Oklahoma
City, OK 73125 Attention: Mr. Jess Larsen; and
