Additions to, or deletions from this list may occur as a result of the public scoping process. 5.0 Scoping Meeting One purpose of this notice is to solicit public comments on the proposed scope and content of the EIS. The NRC will hold a public scoping meeting in Idaho Falls, Idaho, to solicit both oral and written comments from interested parties. Scoping is an early and open process designed to determine the range of actions, alternatives, and potential impacts to be considered in the EIS and to identify significant issues related to the proposed action. It is intended to solicit input from the public and other VerDate Nov<24>2008 15:26 May 01, 2009 Jkt 217001 agencies so that the analysis can be more clearly focused on issues of genuine concern. The principal goals of the scoping process are to: • Ensure that concerns are identified early and are properly studied; • Identify alternatives that will be examined; • Identify significant issues that need to be analyzed; • Eliminate unimportant issues from detailed consideration; and • Identify public concerns. On June 4, 2009, the NRC will hold a public scoping meeting in Idaho Falls to solicit both oral and written comments from interested parties. The meeting will be transcribed to record public comments. The meeting will begin with NRC staff providing a description of the NRC’s role and mission. A brief overview of the licensing process will be followed by a brief description of the environmental review process. Most of the meeting time will be allotted for attendees to make oral comments. In addition, the NRC staff will host informal discussions for one hour prior to the start of the public meeting. No formal comments on the proposed scope of the EIS will be accepted during the informal discussions. To be considered, comments must be provided either at the transcribed public meeting or in writing, as discussed below. Persons may register to attend or present oral comments at the scoping meeting by contacting Tarsha Moon at (301) 415–7843, or by sending e-mail to Tarsha.Moon@nrc.gov no later than May 28, 2009. Members of the public may also register to speak at the meeting prior to the start of the 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. If special equipment or accommodations are needed to attend or present information at the public meeting, please contact Tarsha Moon no later than May 21, 2009, so that the NRC staff can determine whether the request can be accommodated. 6.0 Scoping Comments Members of the public may provide comments orally at the transcribed public scoping meeting or in writing. Written comments may be sent by email to EagleRock.EIS@nrc.gov or mailed to the address listed above in the ADDRESSES Section. At the conclusion of the scoping process, the NRC staff will prepare a summary of public comments regarding PO 00000 Frm 00060 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 20509 the scope of the environmental review and significant issues identified. NRC staff will send this summary to each participant in the scoping process for whom the staff has an address.

The scoping meeting summaries and project-related materials will also be available on the NRC’s AREVA Eagle Rock Enrichment Facility Web page: https://www.nrc.gov/ materials/fuel-cycle-fac/arevanc.html. 7.0 The NEPA Process The EIS for the AES facility will be prepared pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the NRC’s NEPA Regulations at 10 CFR Part 51. After the scoping process is complete, the NRC and its contractor will prepare and publish a draft EIS. A 45-day comment period on the draft EIS is planned, and public meetings to receive comments will be held approximately three weeks after publication of the draft EIS. Availability of the draft EIS, the dates of the public comment period, and information about the public meetings will be announced in the Federal Register, on NRC’s AREVA Eagle Rock Enrichment Facility Web page, and in the local news media. The final EIS will include responses to any comments received on the draft EIS. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 27th day of April 2009. For The Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Patrice M.

ACTION: Solicitation of public comment. AGENCY: The NRC is soliciting public comment on its Proposed Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) DC/COL–ISG–013 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML090830488). The purpose of this ISG is to modify and provide Combined License (COL) and Design Certification (DC) applicants additional clarity and guidance for the application of Standard Review Plan (SRP) Sections 11.2 and 2.4.13 on the characterization of hydro geological properties of a site associated with the effects of accidental releases of radioactive liquid on existing or likely future uses of ground and surface water resources in meeting the requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 100 (10 CFR 100.10 or 100.20) and Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 20 on effluent concentration limits. This ISG would revise the staff guidance previously issued in March 2007 in the SRP NUREG–0080, ‘‘Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants,’’ tjames on PRODPC75 with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Nov<24>2008 15:26 May 01, 2009 Jkt 217001 Sections 11.2 and 2.4.13. These two SRP sections are not internally consistent in identifying acceptable criteria for assessing the consequences of accidental releases of radioactive materials, or in providing guidance to the staff and applicants to establish conditions for such releases and define acceptable assumptions to describe exposure scenarios and pathways to members of the public. The NRC staff issues DC/COL–ISGs to facilitate timely implementation of current staff guidance and to facilitate activities associated with review of applications for DCs and COLs by the Office of New Reactors. The NRC staff will also incorporate the approved DC/COL–ISG– 013 into the next revision of the SRP and related guidance documents.
