Prepare a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement

    Southern Nuclear Operating Company (Southern) has submitted an 
application for a combined license (COL) for its Vogtle Electric 
Generating Plant site to build Units 3 and 4, located in Burke County, 
Georgia, approximately 26 miles southeast of Augusta. The application 
for the COL was submitted by letter dated March 31, 2008, pursuant to
