Analyses of programs with terms different 

from those presented above may use a linear 

interpolation. For example, a four-year 

project can be evaluated with a rate equal to 

the average of the three-year and five-year 

rates. Programs with durations longer than 30 

years may use the 30-year interest rate.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 52–017; NRC–2008–0149] 

Virginia Electric and Power Company 

D/B/A Dominion Virginia Power, North 

Anna Power Station, Unit 3 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Intent to prepare a supplemental 

environmental impact statement; 

withdrawal. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is withdrawing the 

intent to prepare a supplemental 

environmental impact statement (SEIS) 

published in the Federal Register on 

February 7, 2011. The purpose of the 

SEIS the NRC had intended to prepare 

was to address any impacts that would 

have resulted from a change in the 

reactor technology referenced in the 

North Anna Power Station (NAPS) Unit 

3 Combined License (COL) application. 

The intent to prepare a SEIS is being 

withdrawn because of the applicant’s 

decision to return to the original reactor 

design, as referenced and evaluated in 

an earlier SEIS for the NAPS. 

DATES: The effective date of the 

withdrawal of the intent to prepare a 

supplemental environmental impact 

statement is January 29, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

decision to prepare a SEIS was based on 

Dominion’s decision to change the 

referenced reactor technology from the 

Economic Simplified Boiling Water 

Reactor (ESBWR) design, to the U.S. 

Advanced Pressurized Water Reactor 

(US–APWR). This change in reactor 

technology by Dominion occurred after 

the NRC staff completed its 

environmental review of the COL 

application, which is documented in 

NUREG–1917, ‘‘Supplemental 

Environmental Impact Statement for the 

Combined License for North Anna 

Power Station, Unit 3’’ (COL SEIS). On 

February 7, 2011 (76 FR 6638), the NRC 

published a notice of intent to prepare 

a supplemental EIS and conduct 

scoping in conjunction with its review 

of a revised application submitted by 

Virginia Electric Power Company d/b/a 

Dominion Virginia Power (Dominion) 

for a COL to build and operate a new 

reactor at its NAPS site located in 

Louisa County, Virginia. The purpose of 

the February 2011 notice was to inform 

the public that the NRC staff intended 

to prepare a supplement to the COL 

SEIS pertaining to the change in the 

reactor design. In the proposed SEIS for 

the US–APWR technology, the staff 

intended to identify any significant 

changes to the previous evaluation of 

environmental impacts that could arise 

from the applicant’s switch to this 

reactor design. 

By letter dated April 25, 2013 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML13120A016), 

Dominion notified the NRC that it 

planned to revert to the ESBWR 

technology for its North Anna COL 

application. As the purpose for 

preparing the US–APWR SEIS no longer 

exists, this notice is to inform the public 

that the staff will not be preparing a 

SEIS to evaluate the change in impacts 

that could occur from a different reactor 

design. 

Dominion completed revisions to its 

COL application, including the 

necessary revisions to its environmental 

report (ER), to once again reference the 

ESBWR and submitted the revised 

application to the NRC by letter dated 

December 18, 2013. The revised ER is 

available in ADAMS under Accession 

No. ML14007A643. The ESBWR was 

certified by the NRC on September 16, 

2014. The final rule for the design 

certification was published on October 

15, 2014 (79 FR 61943). 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 22nd 

day of January 2015. 

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Director, Division of New Reactor Licensing,
