intend to prepare one environmental 

document. The EA will include our 

recommendations for operating 

procedures and environmental 

enhancement measures that should be 

part of any new license issued by the 

Commission. Recipients will have 30 

days to provide the Commission with 

any comments on that document. All 

comments on the EA, filed with the 

Commission, will be considered in an 

Order taking final action on the license 

application. However, should 

substantive comments requiring 

reanalysis be received on the NEPA 

document, we would consider preparing 

a subsequent NEPA document.
