necessary to prepare a plant-specific
supplement to the NRC’s ‘‘Generic
Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS)
for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants,’’
(NUREG–1437) related to the review of
the application for renewal of the
DBNPS 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
at 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 is
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; and
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, FENOC;
b. Any Federal agency that has
jurisdiction by law or special expertise
with respect to any environmental

develop and enforce relevant
environmental standards;
c. Affected State and local
government agencies, including those
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; and
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 DBNPS license
renewal supplement to the GEIS. The
scoping meetings will be held on
November 4, 2010, and there will be two
sessions to accommodate interested
parties. The first session will convene at
1:30 p.m. and will continue until 3:30
p.m. The second session will convene at
7 p.m. with a repeat of the overview
portions of the meeting and will
continue until 9 p.m., as necessary. Both
sessions will be held at the Camp Perry
Conference Center, Port Clinton, OH
43452.
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

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 DBNPS license renewal supplement to the GEIS. The scoping meetings
will be held on November 4, 2010, and there will be two sessions to
accommodate interested parties. The first session will convene at 1:30
p.m. and will continue until 3:30 p.m. The second session will convene
at 7 p.m. with a repeat of the overview portions of the meeting and
will continue until 9 p.m., as necessary. Both sessions will be held at
the Camp Perry Conference Center, Port Clinton, OH 43452.
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, Mrs. Paula Cooper, by telephone at 800-368-5642, extension
2223, or by e-mail at Paula.Cooper@nrc.gov no later than November 2,
2010. 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. Mrs. Cooper will need to be contacted no later than October 28,
2010, 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.
