ACTION: Notice of opportunity for public comment. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The NRC has prepared a Draft Environmental Assessment as part of its evaluation of a request by FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC), et al., for a license amendment to increase the maximum rated thermal power at Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 (BVPS–1 and 2) from 2689 megawatts-thermal (MWt) to 2900 MWt. This represents a power increase of approximately 8 percent for BVPS–1 and 2. As stated in the NRC staff’s position paper dated February 8, 1996, on the Boiling-Water Reactor Extended Power Uprate (EPU) Program, the NRC staff will prepare an environmental impact statement if it believes a power uprate will have a significant impact on the human environment. The NRC staff did not identify any significant impact from the information provided in the licensee’s EPU application for BVPS–1 and 2 or from the NRC staff’s independent review; therefore, the NRC staff is documenting its environmental review in an environmental assessment (EA). Also, in accordance with the position paper, this Draft Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact is being published in the Federal Register with a 30-day public comment period. Environmental Assessment Plant Site and Environs The EPU would apply to the facilities at the BVPS–1 and 2 site, located on the south bank of the Ohio River in E:\FR\FM\09MYN1.SGM 09MYN1
