Nuclear Plants,’’ (NUREG–1437) related
VerDate Nov<24>2008
19:48 Apr 03, 2009
Jkt 217001
to the review of the application for
renewal of the CR–3 operating license
for an additional 20 years. Possible
alternatives to the proposed action
(license renewal) include no action and
reasonable alternative energy sources.
The NRC is required by 10 CFR 51.95
to prepare a supplement to the GEIS in
connection with the renewal of an
operating license. This notice is being
published in accordance with NEPA
and the NRC’s regulations found in 10
CFR part 51.
The NRC will first conduct a scoping
process for the supplement to the GEIS
and, as soon as practicable thereafter,
will prepare a draft supplement to the
GEIS for public comment. Participation
in the scoping process by members of
the public and local, State, Tribal, and
Federal government agencies are
encouraged. The scoping process for the
supplement to the GEIS will be used to
accomplish the following:
a. Define the proposed action which
is to be the subject of the supplement to
the GEIS.
b. Determine the scope of the
supplement to the GEIS 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 ElSs that are
being or will be prepared that are
related to, but are not part of, the scope
of the supplement to the GEIS being
considered.
e. Identify other environmental
review and consultation requirements
related to the proposed action.
f. Indicate the relationship between
the timing of the preparation of the
environmental analyses and the
Commission’s tentative planning and
decision-making schedule.
g. Identify any cooperating agencies
and, as appropriate, allocate
assignments for preparation and
schedules for completing the
supplement to the GEIS to the NRC and
any cooperating agencies.
h. Describe how the supplement to
the GEIS will be prepared, and include
any contractor assistance to be used.
The NRC invites the following entities
to participate in scoping:
a. The applicant, Florida Power
Corporation.
b. Any Federal agency that has
jurisdiction by law or special expertise
with respect to any environmental
impact involved, or that is authorized to
develop and enforce relevant
environmental standards.
c. Affected State and local
government agencies, including those
PO 00000

authorized to develop and enforce
relevant environmental standards.
d. Any affected Indian tribe.
e. Any person who requests or has
requested an opportunity to participate
in the scoping process.
f. Any person who has petitioned or
intends to petition for leave to
intervene.
In accordance with 10 CFR 51.26, the
scoping process for an EIS may include
a public scoping meeting to help
identify significant issues related to a
proposed activity and to determine the
scope of issues to be addressed in an
EIS. The NRC has decided to hold
public meetings for the CR–3 license
renewal supplement to the GEIS. The
scoping meetings will be held at the
Plantation Inn, 9301 W Fort Island Trail,
Crystal River, FL 34429, on April 16,

of Issuance of Renewed Facility
License No. R–79
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC or the Commission)
has issued renewed Facility License No.
R–79, held by the Board of Curators of
the University of Missouri (the
licensee), which authorizes continued
operation of the Missouri University of
Science and Technology Research
Reactor (MSTR), located on the Missouri
University of Science and Technology
(MST) campus at Rolla City, Phelps
County, MO. The MSTR is a pool-type,
light-water-moderated-and-cooled
research reactor licensed to operate at a
steady-state thermal power level of 200
kilowatts thermal. Renewed Facility
License No. R–79 will expire at
midnight 20 years from its date of
issuance.
The renewed license complies with
the standards and requirements of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended
(the Act), and the Commission’s rules
and regulations. The Commission has
made appropriate findings as required
by the Act and the Commission’s
regulations in Title 10, Chapter 1,
‘‘Nuclear Regulatory Commission,’’ of
the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR
Chapter 1), and sets forth those findings
in the renewed license. The NRC

evaluation report for the renewal of
Facility License No. R–79 and
concluded, based on that evaluation,
that the licensee can continue to operate
the facility without endangering the
health and safety of the public. The NRC
staff also prepared an environmental
assessment for license renewal, noticed

In accordance with 10 CFR 51.26, the scoping process for an EIS may
include a public scoping meeting to help identify significant issues
related to a proposed activity and to determine the scope of issues to
be addressed in an EIS. The NRC has decided to hold public meetings for
the CR-3 license renewal supplement to the GEIS. The scoping meetings
will be held at the Plantation Inn, 9301 W Fort Island Trail, Crystal
River, FL 34429, on April 16, 2009. There will be two sessions to
accommodate interested parties. The first session will convene at 2
p.m. and will continue until 5 p.m., as necessary. The second session
will convene at 7 p.m. with a repeat of the overview portions of the
meeting and will continue until 10 p.m., as necessary. Both meetings
will be transcribed and will include: (1) An overview by the NRC staff
of the NEPA environmental review process, the proposed scope of the
supplement to the GEIS, and the proposed review schedule; and (2) the
opportunity for interested government agencies, organizations, and
individuals to submit comments or suggestions on the environmental
issues or the proposed scope of the supplement to the GEIS.
Additionally, the NRC staff will host informal discussions one hour
prior to the start of each session at the same location. No formal
comments on the proposed scope of the supplement to the GEIS will be
accepted during the informal discussions. To be considered, comments
must be provided either at the transcribed public meetings or in
writing, as discussed below. Persons may register to attend or present
oral comments at the meetings on the scope of the NEPA review by
contacting the NRC Project Manager, Elaine Keegan, by telephone at 1-
800-368-5642, extension 8517 or by e-mail at elaine.keegan@nrc.gov no
later than April 9, 2009. Members of the public may also register to
speak at the meeting within 15 minutes of the start of each session.
Individual oral comments may be limited by the time available,
depending on the number of persons who register. Members of the public
who have not registered may also have an opportunity to speak, if time
permits. Public comments will be considered in the scoping process for
the supplement to the GEIS. Elaine Keegan will need to

be contacted no later than April 9, 2009, if special equipment or
accommodations are needed to attend or present information at the
public meeting, so that the NRC staff can determine whether the request
can be accommodated.
Members of the public may send written comments on the
environmental scope of the CR-3 license renewal review to: Chief,
Rulemaking and Directives Branch, Division of Administrative Services,
Office of Administration, Mailstop TWB 5B-01M, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, and should cite the publication
date and page number of this Federal Register notice. To be considered
in the scoping process, written comments should be postmarked by May
15, 2009. Electronic comments may be sent by e-mail to the NRC at
crystalrivereis@nrc.gov, and should be sent no later than May 15, 2009,
to be considered in the scoping process. Comments will be available
electronically and accessible through ADAMS at https://adamswebsearch.nrc.gov/dologin.htm.
Participation in the scoping process for the supplement to the GEIS
does not entitle participants to become parties to the proceeding to
which the supplement to the GEIS relates. Notice of opportunity for a
hearing regarding the renewal application is also included in this
Federal Register. Matters related to participation in any hearing are
outside the scope of matters to be discussed at this public meeting.
At the conclusion of the scoping process, the NRC will prepare a
concise summary of the determination and conclusions reached, including
the significant issues identified, and will send a copy of the summary
to each participant in the scoping process. The summary will also be
available for inspection in ADAMS at https://adamswebsearch.nrc.gov/dologin.htm. The staff will then prepare and issue for comment the
draft supplement to the GEIS, which will be the subject of separate
notices and separate public meetings. Copies will be available for
public inspection at the above-mentioned addresses, and one copy per
request will be provided free of charge. After receipt and
consideration of the comments, the NRC will prepare a final supplement
to the GEIS, which will also be available for public inspection.
Information about the proposed action, the supplement to the GEIS,
and the scoping process may be obtained from Elaine Keegan at the
aforementioned telephone number or e-mail address.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 31st day of March, 2009.
