ACTION: Notice; request for comment. AGENCY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is requesting comment on a draft Programmatic Agreement (PA) between the NRC, Pennsylvania State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), and TMI–2 Energy Solutions (TMI–2Solutions). The purpose of this draft PA is to resolve any adverse effects to historic properties identified during consultation for a license amendment request for the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit No. 2 (TMI–2), located in Londonderry Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. TMI–2Solutions will be engaging in certain major decommissioning activities, including the physical demolition of buildings previously deemed eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Because the impacts on the historic properties from these decommissioning activities have not been previously evaluated and are not bounded by NUREG–0586, ‘‘Final Generic Environmental Impact ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:57 Mar 05, 2024 Jkt 262001 Statement (GEIS) on Decommissioning of Nuclear Facilities’’, the NRC initiated consultation under the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). During the NHPA section 106 consultation, it was determined that there would be adverse effects to historic properties and a PA was developed to address resolution of adverse effects.

Discussion By letter dated February 22, 2023 (ADAMS Accession No. ML23058A064), TMI–2Solutions requested an amendment to Possession Only License No. DPR–73. TMI–2Solutions will be engaging in certain major decommissioning activities, including the physical demolition of buildings previously deemed eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Paragraph 50.82(a)(6)(ii) of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) states that licensees shall not perform any decommissioning activities that would result in significant environmental impacts that have not been previously reviewed. Adverse impacts, such as certain alterations or demolition to structures that have been deemed eligible for listing on the NRHP, could be considered unreviewed significant environmental impacts under 10 CFR 50.82(a)(6)(ii). Because the impacts on the historic properties from TMI–2Solutions’ proposed decommissioning activities have not been previously evaluated, TMI– 2Solutions requested an amendment to evaluate the impacts of the decommissioning activities on the NRHP-eligible properties. The NRC uses its National Environmental Policy Act process for developing environmental assessments (EAs) to facilitate consultation under section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), pursuant to 36 CFR 800.8. The NRC met with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, the Pennsylvania State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), TMI–2Solutions, and other consulting parties to discuss how to address the adverse effects to historic properties. The parties agreed to develop a PA to resolve any adverse effects. As explained in the PA, once the agreement is executed, the NRC will become the lead agency for implementation of the PA. The draft PA addresses the potential direct and indirect adverse effects from the decommissioning activities and ensures that appropriate mitigation measures are implemented. The NRC’s final EA will include the final PA and therefore conclude NHPA section 106 consultation. Dated: March 1, 2024. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-0320; NRC-2024-0050]


Draft Programmatic Agreement: TMI-2SOLUTIONS, LLC; Three Mile 
Island Nuclear Station, Unit No. 2

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice; request for comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is requesting 
comment on a draft Programmatic Agreement (PA) between the NRC, 
Pennsylvania State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), and TMI-2 
Energy Solutions (TMI-2Solutions). The purpose of this draft PA is to 
resolve any adverse effects to historic properties identified during 
consultation for a license amendment request for the Three Mile Island 
Nuclear Station, Unit No. 2 (TMI-2), located in Londonderry Township, 
Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. TMI-2Solutions will be engaging in 
certain major decommissioning activities, including the physical 
demolition of buildings previously deemed eligible for the National 
Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Because the impacts on the historic 
properties from these decommissioning activities have not been 
previously evaluated and are not bounded by NUREG-0586, ``Final Generic 
Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS) on Decommissioning of Nuclear 
Facilities'', the NRC initiated consultation under the National 
Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). During the NHPA section 106 
consultation, it was determined that there would be adverse effects to 
historic properties and a PA was developed to address resolution of 
adverse effects.

DATES: Submit comments by April 5, 2024. Comments received after this 
date will be considered if it is practical to do so, but the NRC is 
able to ensure consideration only for comments received on or before 
this date.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments by any of the following methods; 
however, the NRC encourages electronic comment submission through the

II. Discussion

    By letter dated February 22, 2023 (ADAMS Accession No. 
ML23058A064), TMI-2Solutions requested an amendment to Possession Only 
License No. DPR-73. TMI-2Solutions will be engaging in certain major 
decommissioning activities, including the physical demolition of 
buildings previously deemed eligible for the National Register of 
Historic Places (NRHP). Paragraph 50.82(a)(6)(ii) of title 10 of the 
Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) states that licensees shall not 
perform any decommissioning activities that would result in significant 
environmental impacts that have not been previously reviewed. Adverse 
impacts, such as certain alterations or demolition to structures that 
have been deemed eligible for listing on the NRHP, could be considered 
unreviewed significant environmental impacts under 10 CFR 
50.82(a)(6)(ii). Because the impacts on the historic properties from 
TMI-2Solutions' proposed decommissioning activities have not been 
previously evaluated, TMI-2Solutions requested an amendment to evaluate 
the impacts of the decommissioning activities on the NRHP-eligible 
properties.
    The NRC uses its National Environmental Policy Act process for 
developing environmental assessments (EAs) to facilitate consultation 
under section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), 
pursuant to 36 CFR 800.8.
    The NRC met with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, the 
Pennsylvania State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), TMI-
2Solutions, and other consulting parties to discuss how to address the 
adverse effects to historic properties. The parties agreed to develop a 
PA to resolve any adverse effects. As explained in the PA, once the 
agreement is executed, the NRC will become the lead agency for 
implementation of the PA.
    The draft PA addresses the potential direct and indirect adverse 
effects from the decommissioning activities and ensures that 
appropriate mitigation measures are implemented. The NRC's final EA 
will include the final PA and therefore conclude NHPA section 106 
consultation.

III. Request for Public Comment

    The NRC is requesting public comment on the draft PA. The NRC will 
consider these comments before finalizing the PA, which will be 
published as an appendix in the final EA. The draft PA is available in 
ADAMS under Accession No. ML24044A184.

    Dated: March 1, 2024.
