LRW@nrc.gov.SUPPLEMENTARYINFORMATION

I. Introduction Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.106, NRC (or the Commission) is providing notice, in the matter of Humboldt Bay Power Plant Independent Spent Fuel Storage

Installation (ISFSI) Order Modifying

License (Effective Immediately).

II. Further Information I NRC has issued a specific license to Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), authorizing storage of spent fuel in an ISFSI, in accordance with the

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, and Title 10

of the Code of Federal Regulations (10

CFR) Part 72. This Order is being issued

to PG&E, which has identified near-term plans to store spent fuel in an ISFSI under the specific license provisions of

10 CFR Part 72. The Commissions regulations at 10 CFR 72.184 require

PG&E to maintain safeguards

contingency plan procedures in

accordance with 10 CFR Part 73, Appendix C. Specific safeguards

requirements are contained in 10 CFR

73.51 or 73.55, as applicable.

II On September 11, 2001, terrorists simultaneously attacked targets in New

York, NY, and Washington, DC, using

large commercial aircraft as weapons. In

response to the attacks and intelligence

information subsequently obtained, the

Commission issued a number of

Safeguards and Threat Advisories to its

licensees, to strengthen licensees

capabilities and readiness to respond to

a potential attack on a nuclear facility.

The Commission has also

communicated with other Federal, State, and local government agencies

and industry representatives, to discuss and evaluate the current threat environment, to assess the adequacy of

security measures at licensed facilities.

In addition, the Commission has been

conducting a comprehensive review of

its safeguards and security programs

and requirements.

As a result of its consideration of current safeguards and security plan

requirements, as well as a review of information provided by the intelligence community and other governmental

agencies, the Commission has

determined that certain compensatory

measures are required to be

implemented by licensees as prudent, interim measures, to address the current

threat environment, in a consistent

manner, throughout the nuclear ISFSI

community. Therefore, the Commission

is imposing requirements, as set forth in 1 of this Order, on PG&E, which has indicated near-term plans to

store spent fuel in an ISFSI under the

specific license provisions of Part 72.

These interim requirements, which supplement existing regulatory

requirements, will provide the

Commission with reasonable assurance

that the public health and safety and

common defense and security continue

to be adequately protected in the current

threat environment. These requirements

will remain in effect until the

Commission determines otherwise.

The Commission recognizes that some measures may not be possible or

necessary, or may need to be tailored to

accommodate the specific VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:15 Dec 08, 2006Jkt 211001PO 00000Frm 00084Fmt 4703Sfmt 4703E:\FR\FM\11DEN1.SGM11DEN1 mstockstill on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES
