II. Discussion
In accordance with section 110.70(b) of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), the NRC is noticing the receipt of an export license amendment and renewal application submitted by DSSI on February 9, 2018, for the export of Canadian-origin low-level radioactive waste from the State of Tennessee to Canada. The existing license authorizes the export of up to 378,000 kilograms of treated and processed low-level radioactive waste. The amendment and renewal requests: (1) An extension of the license from March 31, 2017 to March 31, 2022; (2) a change to the license point of contact; (3) a change in the name of one ultimate foreign consignee from Atomic Energy of Canada Limited to Canadian Nuclear Laboratories; (4) removal of the reference to Waste Classification as defined in 10 CFR 61.55 and reference to Table A2 values of 49 CFR 173.435 from the waste description, since 10 CFR 61.55 is not applicable because treated and processed waste are to be returned to Canada; (5) removal of previous references to Import License No. IW012/05; (6) updated of radioactivity levels; (7) inclusion of a port of exit in the State of New York and a port of exit in the State of Michigan. The NRC is noticing the request to amend and renew the license to export radioactive waste, open the opportunity for public comment, and open the opportunity to file a request for a hearing or petition for leave to intervene to June 14, 2018. Any request for hearing or petition for leave to intervene shall be served by the requestor or petitioner upon the applicant, the Office of the General Counsel, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555; the Secretary, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555; and the Executive Secretary, U.S. Department of State, Washington, DC 20520. Hearing requests and intervention petitions must include the information specified in 10 CFR 110.82(b).
