Pursuant to delegation by the Commission dated December 29, 1972,

published in the Federal Register, 37 F.R. 28710 (1972), and Sections

2.105, 2.700, 2.702, 2.714, 2.714a, 2.717, 2.721 of the Commission's

Regulations, all as amended, an Atomic Safety and Licensing Board is

being established to preside over the following proceeding.

Northeast Nuclear Energy Company

Millstone Nuclear Power Station, Unit No. 3

This Board is being established pursuant to a petition to intervene

submitted by the Citizens Regulatory Commission. The petition opposes a

license amendment which would add a new sump pump subsystem to address

groundwater inleakage through the containment basemat. The NRC staff

has determined that the issuance of a license amendment to the

Northeast Nuclear Energy Company for the Millstone Nuclear Power

Station, Unit No. 3 would involve no significant hazards

considerations. The notice was published in the Federal Register at 63

FR 19964, 19974 (April 22, 1998).

The Board is comprised of the following administrative judges:
