SUMMARY: The Director, Office of
Administration, invites comments on
the proposed information collection
requests as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995.
DATES: Interested persons are invited to
submit comments within 30 days from
the date of this publication.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires that
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) provide interested Federal
agencies and the public an early
opportunity to comment on information
collection requests. OMB may amend or
waive the requirement for public
consultation to the extent that public
participation in the approval process
would defeat the purpose of the
information collection, violate State or
Federal law, or substantially interfere
with any agency’s ability to perform its
statutory obligations. The Director,
Office of Administration, publishes that
notice containing proposed information
collection requests prior to submission
of these requests to OMB. Each
proposed information collection
contains the following: (1) Type of
review requested, e.g., new, revision
extension, existing or reinstatement; (2)
Title; (3) Summary of the collection; (4)
Description of the need for, and
proposed use of, the information; (5)
Respondents and frequency of
collection; and (6) Reporting and/or
Recordkeeping burden. OMB invites
public comment.
Currently, the National Mediation
Board is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed extension of

NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
[Docket Nos. 52–027 and 52–028]
South Carolina Electric and Gas
Company Acting for Itself and as
Agent for the South Carolina Public
Service Company (Also Referred to as
Santee Cooper) Virgil C. Summer
Nuclear Station Units 2 and 3;
Combined License Application; Notice
of Intent To Prepare an Environmental
Impact Statement and Conduct
Scoping Process
South Carolina Electric and Gas
Company (SCE&G) acting for itself and
as an agent for South Carolina Public
Service Company (also referred to as
Santee Cooper) has submitted an
application for combined licenses
(COLs) to build Units 2 and 3 at its
Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station
(VCSNS) site, located on approximately
3,600 acres in Fairfield County, South
Carolina, on the Broad River,
approximately 15 miles west of the
county seat of Winnsboro and 26 miles
northwest of Columbia, South Carolina.
SCE&G submitted the application for the
COLs to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) by letter dated
March 27, 2008, pursuant to Title 10 of
the Code of Federal Regulations (10
CFR) Part 52. A notice of receipt and
availability of the application, including
the environmental report (ER), was
published in the Federal Register on
July 9, 2008 (73 FR 39339). A notice of
acceptance for docketing of the
application for the COLs was published
in the Federal Register on August 6,
2008 (73 FR 45792). A notice of hearing
and opportunity to petition for leave to
intervene in the proceeding on the
application was published in the
Federal Register on October 10, 2008
(73 FR 60362). The purposes of this
notice are: (1) To inform the public that
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 217001
the NRC staff will be preparing an
environmental impact statement (EIS) as
part of the review of the application for
the COLs and (2) to provide the public
with an opportunity to participate in the
environmental scoping process as
defined in 10 CFR 51.29.
In addition, as outlined in 36 CFR
800.8(c), ‘‘Coordination with the
National Environmental Policy Act,’’ the
NRC staff plans to coordinate
compliance with Section 106 of the
National Historic Preservation Act
(NHPA) with steps taken to meet the
requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as
amended (NEPA). Pursuant to 36 CFR
800.8(c), the NRC staff intends to use
the process and documentation for the
preparation of the EIS on the proposed
action to comply with section 106 of the
NHPA in lieu of the procedures set forth
on 36 CFR 800.3 through 800.6.
In accordance with 10 CFR 51.45 and
51.50, SCE&G submitted the ER as part
of the application. The ER was prepared
pursuant to 10 CFR Parts 51 and 52 and
is available for public inspection at the
NRC Public Document Room (PDR)
located at One White Flint North, 11555
Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville,
Maryland 20852, or from the Publicly
Available Records (PARS) component of
NRC’s Agencywide Documents Access
and Management System (ADAMS).
ADAMS is accessible at https://
www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html,
which provides access through the
NRC’s Electronic Reading Room (ERR)
link. The accession number in ADAMS
for the environmental report included in
the application is ML081300569.
Persons who do not have access to
ADAMS or who encounter problems in
accessing the documents located in
ADAMS should contact the NRC’s PDR
Reference staff at 1–800–397–4209/301–
415–4737 or via e-mail to pdr@nrc.gov.
The application may also be viewed on
the Internet at https://www.nrc.gov/
reactors/new-reactors/col/summer.html.
In addition, the Fairfield County
Library, 300 Washington Street,
Winnsboro, South Carolina 29180 has
agreed to make the ER available for
public inspection.

This notice advises the public that the
NRC intends to gather the information
necessary to prepare an EIS as part of
the review of the application for the
COLs at the VCSNS site. Possible
alternatives to the proposed action
(issuance of the COLs for the VCSNS
Units 2 and 3) include no action,
reasonable alternative energy sources,
and alternate sites. As set forth in 10
CFR 51.20(b)(2), issuance of a COL
under 10 CFR Part 52 is an action that
requires an EIS. This notice is being
published in accordance with NEPA
and the NRC’s regulations in 10 CFR
Part 51.
The NRC will first conduct a scoping
process for the EIS and, as soon as
practicable thereafter, will prepare a
draft EIS for public comment.
Participation in this scoping process by
members of the public and local, State,
Tribal, and Federal government agencies
is encouraged. The scoping process for
the draft EIS will be used to accomplish
the following:
a. Define the proposed action that is
to be the subject of the EIS;
b. Determine the scope of the EIS and
identify the significant issues to be
analyzed in-depth;
c. Identify and eliminate from
detailed study those issues that are
peripheral or that are not significant;
d. Identify any environmental
assessments and other EISs that are
being or will be prepared that are
related to but are not part of the scope
of the EIS being considered;
