Download as PDF khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES 33402 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 83 / Monday, April 29, 2024 / Notices requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (54 U.S.C. 300101, et seq.) (NHPA). Therefore, pursuant to 36 CFR 800.8(c), the NRC intends to use its process and documentation required 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, CEG submitted an environmental report (ER) as part of the license renewal application. The ER was prepared pursuant to 10 CFR part 51 and is publicly available at ADAMS Accession No. ML24045A279. The ER will also be available for viewing at https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/ licensing/renewal/applications/ clinton.html. The NRC intends to gather the information necessary to prepare a plant-specific supplement to NUREG– 1437, ‘‘Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants’’ (GEIS) (ADAMS Package Accession No. ML13107A023), related to the license renewal application for CPS. The NRC is required by 10 CFR 51.95 to prepare a plant-specific 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 at 10 CFR part 51. The supplemental to the GEIS will evaluate the environmental impacts of the license renewal for CPS, and reasonable alternatives thereto. Possible alternatives to the proposed action include the no action alternative and reasonable alternative energy sources. As part of its environmental review, the NRC will first conduct a scoping process for the EIS and, as soon as practicable thereafter, will prepare a draft EIS for public comment. Participation in this scoping process by members of the public and local, State, Tribal, and Federal government agencies is encouraged. The scoping process for the EIS will be used to accomplish the following: a. Define the proposed action that is to be the subject of the EIS; b. Determine the scope of the EIS 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 that have been covered by prior environmental review; d. Identify any environmental assessments and other ElSs that are being or will be prepared that are VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:54 Apr 26, 2024 Jkt 262001 related to, but are not part of, the scope of the EIS under consideration; 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 NRC’s tentative planning and decision-making schedule; g. Identify any cooperating agencies and, as appropriate, allocate assignments for preparation and schedules for completing the EIS to the NRC and any cooperating agencies; and h. Describe how the EIS will be prepared, including any contractor assistance to be used. The NRC invites the following entities to participate in scoping: a. The applicant, Constellation Energy Generation, LLC; 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 under 10 CFR 2.309. IV. Public Scoping Meeting In accordance with 10 CFR 51.26(b), the scoping process for an EIS may include a public scoping meeting to help identify significant issues related to the proposed action and to determine the scope of issues to be addressed in the EIS. The NRC is announcing that it will hold two public scoping meetings as online webinars for the CPS license renewal application. The webinar will include a telephone line for members of the public to provide comments. A court reporter will transcribe all comments received during the webinars. To be considered, comments must be provided either at the transcribed public meeting or in writing, as discussed in the ADDRESSES section of this document. The public scoping webinars will be held on May 7, 2024, at 6 p.m. ET and May 9, 2024, at 1 p.m. ET. Persons interested in attending this online webinar should monitor the NRC’s Public Meeting Schedule website at https://www.nrc.gov/pmns/mtg for additional information, agendas for the meeting, and access information for the PO 00000 Frm 00091 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 webinar. Please contact Ashley Waldron no later than May 2, 2024, if accommodations or special equipment is needed to attend or to provide comments, so that the NRC staff can determine whether the request can be accommodated. The public scoping meeting will include: (1) an overview by the NRC staff of the environmental and safety review processes, the proposed scope of the EIS, and the proposed review schedule; and (2) the opportunity for interested government agencies, organizations, and individuals to submit comments or suggestions on environmental issues or the proposed scope of the CPS license renewal EIS. Participation in the scoping process for the CPS license renewal EIS does not entitle participants to become parties to the proceeding to which the EIS relates. Matters related to participation in any hearing are outside the scope of matters to be discussed at this public meeting. Dated: April 23, 2024. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Stephen S. Koenick, Chief, Environmental Project Management Branch 1, Division of Rulemaking, Environment, and Financial Support, Office of Nuclear Material Safety, and Safeguards.
