 Subpart F--Additional Procedures Applicable to Early Partial Decisions 
   on Site Suitability Issues in Connection With an Application for a 
           Permit To Construct Certain Utilization Facilities
 
Sec. 2.603  Acceptance and docketing of application for early review of site suitability issues.

    (a) Each part of an application submitted in accordance with 
Sec. 2.101(a-1) of this part will be initially treated as a tendered 
application. If it is determined that any one of the parts as described 
in Sec. 2.101(a-1) is incomplete and not acceptable for processing, the 
Director of Nuclear Reactor Regulation will inform the applicant of this 
determination and the respects in which the document is deficient. Such 
a determination of completeness will generally be made within a period 
of thirty (30) days.
    (b)(1) The Director of Nuclear Reactor Regulation will accept for 
docketing an application for a construction permit for a utilization 
facility which is subject to Sec. 51.20(b) of this chapter and is of the 
type specified in Sec. 50.21(b) (2) or (3) or Sec. 50.22 or is a testing 
facility where part one of the application as described in Sec. 2.101(a-
1) is complete. Part one of any application will not be considered 
complete unless it contains proposed findings as required by 
Sec. 2.101(a-1)(1)(i) and unless it describes the applicant's site 
selection process, specifies the extent to which that process involves 
the consideration of alternative sites, explains the relationship 
between that process and the application for early review of site 
suitability

issues, and briefly describes the applicant's long-range plans for 
ultimate development of the site. Upon assignment of a docket number, 
the procedures in Sec. 2.101(a) (3) and (4) relating to formal docketing 
and the submission and distribution of additional copies of the 
application shall be followed.
    (2) Additional parts of the application will be docketed upon a 
determination by the Director of Nuclear Reactor Regulation that they 
are complete.
    (c) If part one of the application is docketed, the Director of 
Nuclear Reactor Regulation will cause to be published in the Federal 
Register and send to the Governor or other appropriate official of the 
State in which the site is located, a notice of docketing of the 
application which states the purpose of the application, states the 
location of the proposed site, states that a notice of hearing will be 
published, requests comments within 120 days or such other time as may 
be specified on the initiation or outcome of an early site review from 
Federal, State, and local agencies and interested persons, and in the 
case of applications filed under section 103 of the Act, states that a 
person who wishes to have his views on the antitrust aspects of the 
application presented to the Attorney General for consideration shall 
submit such views in accordance with a subsequent notice that will be 
published in the Federal Register. In the case of a nuclear power 
reactor, such subsequent notice will be published following submission 
of the information required by Sec. 50.33a.
