II. Discussion 

The application for renewal, dated 

December 15, 2011, was submitted 

pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR) part 54, 

which included an environmental 

report (ER). A separate notice of receipt 

and availability of the application was 

published in the Federal Register on 

January 3, 2012 (77 FRN 142). A notice 

of acceptance for docketing of the 

application and opportunity for hearing 

regarding renewal of the facility 

operating license is also being published 

in the Federal Register. The purpose of 

this notice is to inform the public that 

the NRC will be preparing an 

environmental impact statement (EIS) 

related to the review of the license 

renewal application and to provide the 

public an opportunity to participate in 

the environmental scoping process, as 

defined in 10 CFR 51.29. 

As outlined in 36 CFR 800.8, 

‘‘Coordination with the National 

Environmental Policy Act,’’ the NRC 

plans to coordinate compliance with 

Section 106 of the National Historic 

Preservation Act (NHPA) in meeting the 

requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA). 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, Ameren submitted 

the ER as part of the application. The ER 

was prepared pursuant to 10 CFR Part 

51 and is publicly available in ADAMS 

under Accession No. ML113530374. 

The ER may also be viewed on the 

Internet at http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/ 

operating/licensing/renewal/

applications/callaway.html. In addition, 

the ER is available to the public near the 

site at the Callaway County Public 

Library, 710 Court Street, Fulton, MO 

65251. 

This document advises the public that 

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 review of the application for 

renewal of the Callaway operating 

license for an additional 20 years. 

Possible alternatives to the proposed 

action (license renewal) include no 

action 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 document is 

being published in accordance with 

NEPA and the NRC’s regulations found 

in 10 CFR Part 51. 

The NRC will first conduct a scoping 

process 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 that are not significant; 

d. Identify any environmental 

assessments and other EISs 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 and include 

any contractor assistance to be used. 

The NRC invites the following entities 

to participate in scoping: 

a. The applicant, Ameren; 

b. Any Federal agency that has 

jurisdiction by law or special expertise 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 37 / Friday, February 24, 2012 / Notices 11173 

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. 

III. 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 has decided to hold 

public meetings for the Callaway license 

renewal supplement to the GEIS. The 

scoping meetings will be held on March 

14, 2012, and there will be two sessions 

to accommodate interested parties. The 

first session will convene at 2 p.m. and 

will continue until 4 p.m., as necessary. 

The second session will convene at 7:00 

p.m. with a repeat of the overview 

portions of the meeting and will 

continue until 9:00 p.m., as necessary. 

Both sessions will be held at the Fulton 

City Hall, 18 East 4th Street, Fulton, MO 

65251. 

Both meetings 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 supplement to the 

GEIS. Additionally, the NRC staff will 

host informal discussions one hour 

prior to the start of each session at the 

same location. No formal comments on 

the proposed scope of the supplement to 

the GEIS will be accepted during the 

informal discussions. To be considered, 

comments must be provided either at 

the transcribed public meetings or by 

any method provided in the ADDRESSES

section of this document. 

Persons may register to attend or 

present oral comments at the meetings 

on the scope of the NEPA review by 

contacting the NRC Project Manager, 

Ms. Carmen Fells, by telephone at 

301–415–6337, or by email at 

Carmen.Fells@nrc.gov no later than 

March 7, 2012. Members of the public 

may also register to speak at the meeting 

within 15 minutes of the start of each 

session. 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 supplement 

to the GEIS. Ms. Fells will need to be 

contacted no later than March 5, 2012, 

if special equipment or accommodations 

are 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 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. The notice of 

acceptance for docketing of the 

application and opportunity for hearing 

that was published in the Federal 

Register describes the hearing process.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Discussion 

Union Electric Company submitted 

the application dated December 15, 

2011, pursuant to Title 10 of the Code 

of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) part 54, 

to renew operating license NPF–30. A 

notice of receipt and availability of the 

license renewal application (LRA) was 

published in the Federal Register on 

January 3, 2012 (77 FRN 142). 

The Commission’s staff has 

determined that Union Electric 

Company has submitted sufficient 

information in accordance with 10 CFR 

54.19, 54.21, 54.22, 54.23, and 51.53(c), 

to enable the staff to undertake a review 

of the application, and that the 

application is therefore acceptable for 

docketing. The current Docket Number, 

50–483, for operating license NPF–30 

will be retained. The determination to 

accept the LRA for docketing does not 

constitute a determination that a 

renewed license should be issued, and 

does not preclude the NRC staff from 

requesting additional information as the 

review proceeds.
