II. Discussion 

By letter dated July 10, 2018 (ADAMS 

Package Accession No. ML18193A689), 

Exelon submitted to the NRC an 

application for subsequent license 

renewal of Facility Operating License 

Nos. DPR–44 and DPR–56 for an 

additional 20 years of operation at 

Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, 

Units 2 and 3. The Peach Bottom units 

are boiling water reactors designed by 

General Electric Company and are 

located in Delta, PA (17.9 miles south of 

Lancaster, PA). The current renewed 

operating license for Unit 2 expires at 

midnight on August 8, 2033, and the 

current renewed operating license for 

Unit 3 expires at midnight on July 2, 

2034. 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 August 1, 2018 (83 

FR 37529). A separate notice of 

acceptance for docketing of the 

application and opportunity for hearing 

regarding subsequent license renewal of 

the facility operating licenses will be 

published in the Federal Register.

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, Exelon 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. ML18193A689. 

The ER may also be viewed on the 

internet at https://www.nrc.gov/ 

reactors/operating/licensing/renewal/ 

applications/peach-bottomsubsequent.html. In addition, a paper 

copy of the SLR application including 

the ER are available for public review 

near the site at the Harford County 

Public Library: Whiteford Branch, 2407 

Whiteford Road, Whiteford, MD 21160. 

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 Peach Bottom 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, Exelon; 

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 Peach Bottom 

subsequent license renewal supplement 

to the GEIS. The scoping meeting will 

be held on September 25, 2018. The 

meeting will be held from 6:00 p.m. to 

8:00 p.m. at the Peach Bottom Inn, 6085 

Delta Road, Delta, PA, 17314. There will 

be an open house one hour before the 

meeting for members of the public to 

meet with NRC staff and sign in to speak 

at the meeting. 

The meeting will be transcribed and 

will include: (1) An overview by the 

NRC staff of the NEPA environmental 

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 Peach Bottom 

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 

contacting the NRC Project Manager, 

Mr. David Drucker, by telephone at 301– 

415–6223, or by email at 

david.drucker@nrc.gov no later than 

September 18, 2018. Members of the 

public may also register 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 Peach Bottom subsequent license 

renewal supplement to the GEIS. Please 

contact Mr. David Drucker no later than 

September 18, 2018, if accommodations 

or special equipment is needed to attend 

or present information at the public 

meeting, so that the NRC staff can 

determine whether the request can be 

accommodated. 

Participation in the scoping process 

for the Peach Bottom subsequent license 

renewal supplement to the GEIS does 

not entitle participants to become 

parties to the proceeding to which the 

supplement to the GEIS relates. Matters 

related to participation in any hearing 

are outside the scope of matters to be 

discussed at this public meeting.
