Title: Streamlined Hearing Process for NRC Approval of License Transfers
Abstract: The final rule amends the Commission's regulations to provide specific uniform procedures and rules of practice for handling requests for hearings associated with license transfer applications involving both material and reactor licenses as well as licenses issued under the regulations governing the independent storage of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste. Conforming amendments are also made to certain other parts of the Commission's regulations. These new provisions provide for public participation and opportunity for an informal hearing on matters relating to license transfers, specify procedures for filing and docketing applications for license transfers, and assign appropriate authorities for issuance of administrative amendments to reflect approved license transfers. This rulemaking also adds a categorical exclusion that permits processing of transfer applications without preparation of Environmental Assessments.
