II. Discussion 

By letter dated October 15, 2018 

(ADAMS Package Accession No. 

ML18291A842), Dominion Energy 

Virginia submitted to the NRC an 

application for subsequent license 

renewal of Facility Operating License 

Nos. DPR–32 and DPR–37 for an 

additional 20 years of operation at Surry 

Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2. The 

Surry units are pressurized water 

reactors designed by Westinghouse and 

are located in Surry County, Virginia (17 

miles NW of Newport News, VA). The 

current renewed operating license for 

Unit 1 expires at midnight on May 25, 

2032, and the current renewed operating 

license for Unit 2 expires at midnight on 

January 29, 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). A notice of receipt and 

availability of the application was 

published in the Federal Register on 

November 1, 2018 (83 FR 54948). A

notice of acceptance for docketing of the 

application and opportunity for hearing 

regarding subsequent license renewal of 

the facility operating license was

Regulations.gov by searching for docket 

ID NRC–2018–0247. 

III. Request for Comments 

This notice informs the public of the 

NRC’s intention to conduct scoping and 

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,’’ allow 

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 

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, Dominion Energy 

Virginia submitted the ER as part of the 

subsequent license renewal application. 

The ER was prepared pursuant to 10 

CFR part 51 and is publicly available in 

ADAMS under Accession No. 

ML18291A842. 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 SLR application including the ER 

are available for public review near the 

site at the Williamsburg Regional 

Library, 515 Scotland St., Williamsburg, 

VA 23185. 

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 Surry 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: 

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 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, including 

any contractor assistance to be used. 

The NRC invites the following entities 

to participate in scoping: 

a. The applicant, Dominion Energy 

Virginia; 

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, 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 a public 

meeting for the Surry subsequent 

license renewal supplement to the GEIS. 

The scoping meeting will be held on 

January 8, 2019. The meeting will be 

held from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the 

Surry Administrator’s Office at the 

Surry Government Center, 45 School 

Street, Surry VA 23883. There will be an 

open house 1 hour before the meeting 

for members of the public to meet with 

NRC staff and sign in to speak at the 

meeting. Should the public scoping 

meeting of January 8, 2019, be canceled 

due to inclement weather, it will be 

rescheduled for the same hour and 

location on January 15, 2019. 

The meeting will be transcribed and 

will include: (1) An overview by the 

NRC staff of the NEPA environmental 

and Safety 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 Surry 

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 meeting on 

the scope of the NEPA review by

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 Surry 

subsequent license renewal supplement 

to the GEIS. Please contact Mr. Tam 

Tran no later than January 3, 2019, if 

accommodations or special equipment 

is needed to attend or present 

information at the public meeting, so

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Section 4203(a) of the Employee 

Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, 

as amended by the Multiemployer 

Pension Plan Amendments Act of 1980 

(ERISA), provides that a complete 

withdrawal from a multiemployer plan 

generally occurs when an employer 

permanently ceases to have an 

obligation to contribute under the plan 

or permanently ceases all covered 

operations under the plan. Under 

section 4205 of ERISA, a partial 

withdrawal generally occurs when an 

employer: (1) Reduces its contribution 

base units by seventy percent in each of 

three consecutive years; or (2) 

permanently ceases to have an 

obligation under one or more but fewer 

than all collective bargaining 

agreements under which the employer 

has been obligated to contribute under 

the plan, while continuing to perform 

work in the jurisdiction of the collective 

bargaining agreement of the type for 

which contributions were previously 

required or transfers such work to 

another location or to an entity or 

entities owned or controlled by the 

employer; or (3) permanently ceases to 

have an obligation to contribute under 

the plan for work performed at one or 

more but fewer than all of its facilities, 

while continuing to perform work at the 

facility of the type for which the 

obligation to contribute ceased. 

Although the general rules on 

complete and partial withdrawal 

identify events that normally result in a 

diminution of the plan’s contribution 

base, Congress recognized that, in 

certain industries and under certain 

circumstances, a complete or partial 

cessation of the obligation to contribute 

normally does not weaken the plan’s 

contribution base. For that reason, 

Congress established special withdrawal 

rules for the construction and 

entertainment industries. 

For construction industry plans and 

employers, section 4203(b)(2) of ERISA 

provides that a complete withdrawal 

occurs only if an employer ceases to 

have an obligation to contribute under 

a plan and the employer either 

continues to perform previously covered 

work in the jurisdiction of the collective 

bargaining agreement or resumes such 

work within 5 years without renewing 

the obligation to contribute at the time 

of resumption. In the case of a plan 

terminated by mass withdrawal (within 

the meaning of section 4041(A)(2) of 

ERISA), section 4203(b)(3) provides that 

the 5-year restriction on an employer’s 

resuming covered work is reduced to 3 

years. Section 4203(c)(1) of ERISA 

applies the same special definition of 

complete withdrawal to the 

entertainment industry, except that the 

pertinent jurisdiction is the jurisdiction 

of the plan rather than the jurisdiction 

of the collective bargaining agreement. 

In contrast, the general definition of 

complete withdrawal in section 4203(a) 

of ERISA includes the permanent 

cessation of the obligation to contribute 

regardless of the continued activities of 

the withdrawn employer. 

Congress also established special 

partial withdrawal liability rules for the 

construction and entertainment 

industries. Under section 4208(d)(1) of 

ERISA, ‘‘[a]n employer to whom section 

4203(b) (relating to the building and
