NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 040-08838]
Notice of Consideration of Amendment Request for the Jefferson
Proving Ground Site and Opportunity for a Hearing
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering
issuance of a license amendment to Source Materials License SUB-1435
issued to the U.S. Army for the Jefferson Proving Ground site in
Madison, IN. On September 22, 2003, NRC received a request from the
Army for a license amendment that would create a 5-year renewable
possession-only license. On October 21, 2003, NRC determined that the
information provided by the Army was sufficient to begin a technical
review. The technical review may identify omissions in the submitted
information or technical issues not identified in the administrative
acceptance review that require additional information.
If the NRC approves this request, the approval will be documented
in a license amendment to NRC License SUB-1435. However, before
approving the proposed amendment, the NRC will need to make the
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 either an environmental assessment or an
environmental impact statement.
NRC hereby provides notice that this is a proceeding on an
application for an amendment of a license falling within the scope of
subpart L, ``Informal Hearing Procedures for Adjudication in Materials
Licensing Proceedings,'' of NRC's rules of 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(d). 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 by mail or facsimile (301-415-1101) addressed to: The
Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff of the Office of the Secretary, U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001 Attention:
Rulemakings and Adjudications Staff; or by e-mail to
[email protected]. The request may also be filed by personal
delivery to the Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff at One White Flint
North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD 20852, between 7:45 a.m. and
4:15 p.m. Federal workdays.
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, Department of the Army, U.S. Army Chemical
Materials Agency, 5183 Blackhawk Road, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD
21010-5424, Attention: Dr. John Ferriter, and,
2. The NRC staff, by delivery to the Office of the General Counsel,
One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD 20852,
between 7:45 a.m. and 4:15 p.m. Federal workdays, or by mail, addressed
to the Office of the General Counsel, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001. Because of the continuing
disruptions in the delivery of mail to United States Government
offices, it is requested that requests for hearing also be transmitted
to the Office of the General Counsel, either by means of facsimile
(301-415-3725), or by e-mail to [email protected].
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 requester should be permitted
a hearing, with particular reference to the factors set out in Sec.
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 circumstance establishing that the request for a hearing is
timely in accordance with Sec. 2.1205(d).

amendment and supporting documentation are available for inspection and
