Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 227 / Monday, November 26, 2018 / Notices
NRC is issuing the final Supplement 59
to the GEIS regarding the renewal of
Entergy Operations, Inc. operating
license NPF–38 for an additional 20
years of operation for WF3. Draft
Supplement 59 to the GEIS was noticed
by the NRC in the Federal Register on
August 23, 2018 (83 FR 42713), and
noticed by the Environmental Protection
Agency on August 24, 2018 (83 FR
42892). The public comment period on
draft Supplement 59 to the GEIS ended
on October 9, 2018, and the comments
received are addressed in final
Supplement 59 to the GEIS.
II. Discussion
As discussed in Chapter 5 of the final
Supplement 59 to the GEIS, the NRC
determined that the adverse
environmental impacts of license
renewal for WF3 are not so great that
preserving the option of license renewal
for energy-planning decisionmakers
would be unreasonable. This
recommendation is based on: (1) The
analysis and findings in the GEIS; (2)
information provided in the
environmental report and other
documents submitted by Entergy
Operations Inc.; (3) consultation with
Federal, State, local, and Tribal
agencies; (4) the NRC staff’s
independent environmental review; and
(5) consideration of public comments
received during the scoping process and
on the draft supplemental
environmental impact statement.

of November, 2018.

power reactor license for the Fort

Calhoun Station, Unit No. 1 (FCS),
License No. DPR–40, of portions of their
owned-controlled property and an
easement-controlled land area for
unrestricted use. The NRC will review
the requests and the result of NRC
confirmatory surveys of the properties
proposed for release. Approval of the
request would allow OPPD to sell the
released portion of the owner-controlled
property, to the north and west of the
plant in Nebraska, and to release the
easement on the other property, to the
north and east of the plant, in Iowa. The
NRC is soliciting public comment on the
requested actions and invites
stakeholders and interested persons to
participate. The NRC plans to hold a
public meeting to promote full
understanding of the requested actions
and to facilitate public comment.
DATES: Submit comments by December
26, 2018. 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 before this date. A public
meeting will be held on November 28,
2018.

II. Background
The NRC has received two requests
for approval of partial site releases from
the Omaha Public Power District (OPPD
or licensee), by letters dated June 29,
2018 (ADAMS Accession No.
ML18215A187) and November 12, 2018
(ADAMS Accession No. ML18316A036).
The requests seek approval for release
for unrestricted use of a portion of the
Fort Calhoun Station, Unit No. 1 (FCS)
site located at 9610 Power Lane, Blair,
Nebraska. The first proposed release
area is a 120-acre portion on the north
E:\FR\FM\26NON1.SGM
26NON1
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 227 / Monday, November 26, 2018 / Notices
and west side of the licensee-controlled
facility property, wholly within the
State of Nebraska. The second proposed
release area involves a 475-acre parcel
of land north and east of the site,
located on the banks of the Missouri
River on the Iowa side of the IowaNebraska border, on which the licensee
currently has an easement and that is
part of the exclusion area of the plant.
The FCS license (NRC License No.
DPR–40, Docket No. 50–285) is for a
power reactor under part 50, ‘‘Domestic
Licensing of Production and Utilization
Facilities,’’ of title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR). The
facility was certified as permanently
shut down, per NRC regulations in 10
CFR 50.82(a), by letter dated November
13, 2016. FCS is currently in
‘‘SAFSTOR’’ decommissioning mode
awaiting the termination of the power
reactor license.
The licensee requests release from the
NRC license, for unrestricted use, of two
portions of the site under 10 CFR 50.83,
‘‘Release of Part of a Power Reactor
Facility or Site for Unrestricted Use.’’
The licensee is declaring these portions
of the site to be ‘‘non-impacted’’ as
defined in 10 CFR 50.2. Approval of the
request would, for example, allow OPPD
to sell a released portion to a non-OPPD
controlled entity.
As described in 10 CFR 50.83(c), the
NRC will determine whether the
licensee has adequately evaluated the
effect of releasing the properties per the
requirements of 10 CFR 50.83(a)(1),
determine whether the licensee’s
classification of any released areas as
‘‘non-impacted’’ is adequately justified,
and if the NRC determines that the
licensee’s submittal is adequate, the
NRC will inform the licensee in writing
that the release is approved.
The NRC will conduct a public
meeting to discuss OPPD’s request for
approval of the partial site release. The
meeting will be held on Wednesday,
November 28, 2018, from 7:00 p.m. until
8:30 p.m., Central Standard Time, at the
Residence Inn Omaha Downtown/Old
Market Area, 106 South 15th St.,
Omaha, NE 68102.
This is a Category 3 public meeting
where stakeholders are invited to fully
engage NRC staff to provide a range of
views, information, concerns and
suggestions with regard to regulatory
issues. After the licensee and NRC staff
presentation portion of the meeting, the
public is allowed to speak and ask
questions. Comments can be provided
orally or in writing to the NRC staff
present at the meeting.

II. Background
The NRC has received two requests for approval of partial site
releases from the Omaha Public Power District (OPPD or licensee), by
letters dated June 29, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18215A187) and
November 12, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18316A036). The requests seek
approval for release for unrestricted use of a portion of the Fort
Calhoun Station, Unit No. 1 (FCS) site located at 9610 Power Lane,
Blair, Nebraska. The first proposed release area is a 120-acre portion
on the north
[[Page 60509]]
and west side of the licensee-controlled facility property, wholly
within the State of Nebraska. The second proposed release area involves
a 475-acre parcel of land north and east of the site, located on the
banks of the Missouri River on the Iowa side of the Iowa-Nebraska

The FCS license (NRC License No. DPR-40, Docket No. 50-285) is for
a power reactor under part 50, ``Domestic Licensing of Production and

13, 2016. FCS is currently in ``SAFSTOR'' decommissioning mode awaiting
the termination of the power reactor license.
The licensee requests release from the NRC license, for
unrestricted use, of two portions of the site under 10 CFR 50.83,
``Release of Part of a Power Reactor Facility or Site for Unrestricted
Use.'' The licensee is declaring these portions of the site to be
``non-impacted'' as defined in 10 CFR 50.2. Approval of the request
would, for example, allow OPPD to sell a released portion to a non-OPPD
controlled entity.
As described in 10 CFR 50.83(c), the NRC will determine whether the
licensee has adequately evaluated the effect of releasing the
properties per the requirements of 10 CFR 50.83(a)(1), determine
whether the licensee's classification of any released areas as ``non-
impacted'' is adequately justified, and if the NRC determines that the
licensee's submittal is adequate, the NRC will inform the licensee in
writing that the release is approved.
III. Public Meeting
The NRC will conduct a public meeting to discuss OPPD's request for
approval of the partial site release. The meeting will be held on
Wednesday, November 28, 2018, from 7:00 p.m. until 8:30 p.m., Central
Standard Time, at the Residence Inn Omaha Downtown/Old Market Area, 106
South 15th St., Omaha, NE 68102.

is allowed to speak and ask questions. Comments can be provided orally
