BILLING CODE 7590-01-P NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION [Docket No. 40-8698] Notice of Amendment Request and Consideration of Proposed Reclamation Plan for the Shootaring Canyon Uranium Project, Ticaboo, Utah, and Opportunity to Provide Comments and to Request a Hearing I. Introduction The Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC)has received, by letter dated October 24, 2002, a request from Plateau Resources Limited
(PRL)to
(1)amend Source Materials License SUA-1371 for the Shootaring Canyon Uranium Project to change its status from “operational” to “reclamation;” and
(2)review and approve PRL's proposed reclamation plan for this facility. The uranium mill at Shootaring Canyon operated for only three months in 1982, generating a small amount of mill tailings (the byproduct material wastes produced by extraction of uranium from ore). The mill has been on standby status since that time and PRL has decided to permanently cease operational activities at Shootaring Canyon and initiate decommissioning and reclamation of the mill site. Consistent with this decision, PRL has submitted a tailings reclamation and decommissioning plan for the Shootaring Canyon Uranium Project. II. Opportunity To Provide Comments The NRC is providing notice to individuals in the vicinity of the facility that the NRC is in receipt of this request, and will accept comments concerning this action within 30 days of the publication of this notice in the **Federal Register** . The comments may be provided to the Chief, Rules and Directives Branch, Division of Administrative Services, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, and should cite the publication date and page number of this **Federal Register** notice.
