potential environmental impacts. The
list is presented to facilitate comments
on the scope of the EIS. 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

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

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. This
summary and project-related material
will be available for public review
through our electronic reading room:
https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/

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.

Interim Staff Guidance on Assessing
the Consequences of an Accidental
Release of Radioactive Materials From
Liquid Waste Tanks
Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC).
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,’’

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.
DATES: Comments must be filed no later
than 60 days from the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register. Comments received after this
date will be considered, if it is practical
to do so, but the Commission is able to
ensure consideration only for comments
received on or before this date.

Directives Branch, Office of
Administration, Mail Stop: TWB–05–
