To carry out this <br />strategy, two existing but incomplete pools at the plant must be completed. This, in turn, requires that <br />CP &L submit an application to modify the Harris operating permit to the NRC. <br />In accordance with standard NRC procedures, the permit modification application has been submitted; <br />NRC staff have proposed to make a finding that CP &L's expansion plans represent no significant <br />hazard; and the NRC has published the notice of the application and the proposed staff finding - as of <br />January 13, 1999 - in the Federal Register. The public, again in accordance with standard NRC <br />procedures, is accorded a thirty day period in which to make connnents to the NRC relative to the NRC <br />staff finding, permit application and approval. For the Harris application, the comment deadline is <br />February 12, 1999. <br />
