At the conclusion of the scoping

significant issues identified, and will 

send a copy of the summary to each 

participant in the scoping process. The

inspection through the ERR link. The

comment the draft EIS, which will be 

the subject of separate notices and a 

separate public meeting. Copies will be 

available for public inspection at the 

above-mentioned addresses, and one 

copy per request will be provided free

consideration of the comments, the NRC 

will prepare a final EIS, which will also
