AEC AMENDMENT TO APPENDIX D TO PART 50 TITLE 10-ATOMIC ENERGY CHAPTER 1-ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION PART 50-LICENSING OF PRODUCTION AND UTILIZATION FACILITIES Implementation of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 On September 9, 1971, the Atomic Energy Commission published in the FEDERAL REGISTER (36 F.R. 18071) a revision of Appendix D of its regulation in 10 CFR Part 50, effective on publication. Revised Appendix D as published is an interim statement of Commission policy and procedure for the implementation of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) in accordance with the decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in "Calvert Cliffs' Coordinating Committee, Inc., et al. v. United States Atomic Energy Commission, et al.", Nos. 24,839 and 24,871. The procedures in Appendix D apply to licensing proceedings for nuclear power reactors; testing facilities; fuel reprocessing plants; and other production and utilization facilities whose construction or operation may be determined by the Commission to have a significant impact on the environment. The procedures also apply to proceedings involving certain specified activities subject to materials licensing. RULES AND REGULATIONS The Commission adopted certain minor amendments to revised Appendix D, published in the FEDERAL REGISTER on September 30, 1971, and November 11, 1971. The Commission has adopted additional amendments to revised Appendix I relating to the procedures for publishing notices of hearing or opportunity for hearing with respect to proceedings subject to sections B, C, and D. Those sections deal respectively with procedures applicable to cer tain facility and materials licenses issued during the period from January 1, 1970, the date of enactment of NEPA, to September 9, 1971, with the procedures applicable to construction permits for certain facilities issued prior to January 1, 1970, for which operating licenses or notice of opportunity for hearing on operating license applications have not been issued, and with procedures applicable to pending hearings and hearings to be noticed in the near future. Under section B, section C, and section D.3 presently in effect, notices of hearing or opportunity for hearing in the licensing proceedings subject to those sections could not be published until the final detailed statement or supplemental detailed statement had been pre |
