similar written information is required
to be kept at the worksite, then the
employer must make the MSDS or
written information available to the
medical facility treating the exposed
entrant.
Section 1910.146(l)(1) requires
employers to consult with affected
employees and their authorized
representatives on the development and
implementation of all aspects of the
permit space program required by
paragraph (c). Section 1910.146(l)(2)
requires employers to make all
information required by this section
available to affected employees and
their authorized representatives.
II. Special Issues for Comment
OSHA has a particular interest in
comments on the following issues:
• Whether the proposed information
collection requirements are necessary
for the proper performance of the
Agency’s functions, including whether
the information is useful;
• The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of
the burden (time and costs) of the
information collection requirements,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• The quality, utility, and clarity of
the information collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden on
employers who must comply—for
example, by using automated or other
technological information collection
and transmission techniques.

II. Discussion
By letter dated January 30, 2018, as
supplemented by letters dated February
9, 2018; February 16, 2018; March 1,
2018; and April 10, 2018; Florida Power
& Light Company submitted to the NRC
an application for subsequent license
renewal of Facility Operating License
Nos. DPR–31 and DPR–41 for an
additional 20 years of operation at
Turkey Point Units 3 and 4. Turkey
Point Units 3 and 4 are located on
Biscayne Bay in Miami-Dade County,
Florida. The current renewed operating
license for Unit 3 expires at midnight on
July 19, 2032, and the current renewed
operating license for Unit 4 expires at
midnight on April 10, 2033. The
application for subsequent license
renewal was submitted pursuant to part
54 of title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR) and included an
environmental report (ER), also
supplemented. A separate notice of
receipt and availability of the
application was published in the
Federal Register on April 18, 2018 (83
FR 17196). A notice of acceptance for
docketing of the supplemented
application and opportunity for hearing
regarding subsequent license renewal of
the facility operating licenses was
published in the Federal Register on
May 2, 2018 (83 FR 19304).
III. Request for Comments
This notice informs the public of the
NRC’s intention to prepare an EIS
related to the subsequent license
renewal application and to provide the
public an opportunity to participate in
the environmental scoping process, as
defined in 10 CFR 51.29.
The regulations in 36 CFR 800.8,
‘‘Coordination with the National
Environmental Policy Act,’’ allows
agencies to use their National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) process to fulfill the
requirements of Section 106 of the
National Historic Preservation Act
(NHPA). Therefore, pursuant to 36 CFR
800.8(c), the NRC intends to use its
PO 00000
Frm 00103
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
23727
process and documentation for the
preparation of the EIS on the proposed
action to comply with Section 106 of the
NHPA in lieu of the procedures set forth
at 36 CFR 800.3 through 800.6.
In accordance with 10 CFR 51.53(c)
and 10 CFR 54.23, Florida Power &
Light Company submitted the ER as part
of the subsequent license renewal
application. To complete the acceptance
review, the applicant provided
supplemental information to support
the staff’s detailed technical review of
the proposed action (subsequent license
renewal). The ER and supplemental
information were prepared pursuant to
10 CFR 51.53(c), and are publicly
available in ADAMS under Accession
Nos. ML18037A836 and ML18102A521,
respectively. The ER may also be
viewed on the internet at https://
www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/
licensing/renewal/subsequent-licenserenewal.html. In addition, a paper copy
of the subsequent license renewal
application, including the ER, is
available to the public near the site at
the following locations: Homestead
Branch Library, 700 N. Homestead
Blvd., Homestead, FL 33030; Naranja
Branch Library, 14850 SW 280th St.,
Homestead, FL 33032; South Dade
Regional Library, 10750 SW 211th St.,
Miami, FL 33189; and Downtown
Miami Branch, 101 West Flagler St.,
Miami, FL 33130.
The NRC intends to gather the
information 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 application for subsequent license
renewal of the Turkey Point operating
licenses for an additional 20 years
beyond the period specified in each of
the current renewed licenses.
Possible alternatives to the proposed
action include the no action alternative
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 scoping
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:

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 are not significant; or were

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
decisionmaking 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, including
any contractor assistance to be used.
The NRC invites the following entities
to participate in scoping:
a. The applicant, Florida Power &
Light Company;
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
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

proposed action to comply with Section 106 of the NHPA in lieu of the
procedures set forth at 36 CFR 800.3 through 800.6.
In accordance with 10 CFR 51.53(c) and 10 CFR 54.23, Florida Power
& Light Company submitted the ER as part of the subsequent license
renewal application. To complete the acceptance review, the applicant
provided supplemental information to support the staff's detailed
technical review of the proposed action (subsequent license renewal).
The ER and supplemental information were prepared pursuant to 10 CFR
51.53(c), and are publicly available in ADAMS under Accession Nos.
ML18037A836 and ML18102A521, respectively. The ER may also be viewed on
the internet at https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/licensing/renewal/subsequent-license-renewal.html. In addition, a paper copy of
the subsequent license renewal application, including the ER, is
available to the public near the site at the following locations:
Homestead Branch Library, 700 N. Homestead Blvd., Homestead, FL 33030;
Naranja Branch Library, 14850 SW 280th St., Homestead, FL 33032; South
Dade Regional Library, 10750 SW 211th St., Miami, FL 33189; and
Downtown Miami Branch, 101 West Flagler St., Miami, FL 33130.
The NRC intends to gather the information 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 application for subsequent license renewal of the Turkey
Point operating licenses for an additional 20 years beyond the period
specified in each of the current renewed licenses.
Possible alternatives to the proposed action include the no action
alternative 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 scoping 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:
[[Page 23728]]
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 are not significant; or were covered by a prior
environmental review;
d. Identify any environmental assessments and other EISs 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 decisionmaking 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,
including any contractor assistance to be used.
The NRC invites the following entities to participate in scoping:
a. The applicant, Florida Power & Light Company;
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
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.
IV. Public Scoping Meeting
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 will hold two public meetings for the
Turkey Point license renewal supplement to the GEIS. The scoping
meetings will be held on May 31, 2018. The meetings will be held from
1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. and from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the City of
Homestead City Hall, 100 Civic Court, Homestead, FL 33030. There will
be an open house one hour before each session for members of the public
to meet with NRC staff and sign in to speak.
The meeting 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 Turkey Point
subsequent license renewal supplement to the GEIS. To be considered,
comments must be provided either at the transcribed public meeting or
in writing, as discussed in the ADDRESSES section of this notice.
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, William Burton, by telephone at 301-415-6332, or by email to
[email protected] no later than May 24, 2018. Members of the
public may also register to speak during the registration period prior
to the start of the meeting. 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 Turkey Point subsequent
license renewal supplement to the GEIS. Please contact Mr. Burton no
later than May 24, 2018, if accommodations or special equipment is
needed to attend or present information at the public meeting, so that
the NRC staff can determine whether the request can be accommodated.
Participation in the scoping process for the Turkey Point
subsequent license renewal supplement to the GEIS does not entitle
participants to become parties to the proceeding to which the
supplement to the GEIS relates. Matters related to participation in any
hearing are outside the scope of matters to be discussed at this public
meeting.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 16th day of May, 2018.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Chief, License Renewal Project Branch, Division of Materials and
License Renewal, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
