II. Discussion 

The application for license renewal, 

dated December 9, 2014, was submitted 

pursuant to part 54 of Title 10 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), 

which included an environmental 

report (ER). A separate notice of receipt 

and availability of the application was 

published in the Federal Register on 

December 18, 2014 (79 FR 75598). A 

notice of acceptance for docketing of the 

application and opportunity for hearing 

regarding renewal of the facility 

operating licenses 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 

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, Exelon 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 Nos. ML14343A883 

and ML14343A897. The ER may also be 

viewed on the Internet at http://

www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/

licensing/renewal/applications/

lasalle.html. In addition, paper copies of 

the ER are available for public review 

near the site at the Reddick Public 

Library District, 1010 Canal St., Ottawa, 

IL 61350, the Marseilles Public Library, 

155 East Bluff St., Marseilles, IL 61341 

and the Seneca Public Library District, 

210 N. Main St., Seneca, IL 61360. 

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, 

Revision 1), related to the review of the 

application for renewal of the LSCS 

operating licenses 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 notice is 

being published in accordance with 

NEPA and the NRC’s regulations found 

at 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 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 and include 

any contractor assistance to be used. 

The NRC invites the following entities 

to participate in scoping: 

a. The applicant, Exelon; 

b. Any Federal agency which has 

jurisdiction by law or special expertise 

with respect to any environmental 

impact involved or which 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 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 

in the proceeding or who has been 

admitted as a party to the proceeding. 

III. Public Scoping Meetings 

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 LSCS license 

renewal supplement to the GEIS. The 

scoping meetings will be held on March 

10, 2015, and there will be two sessions 

to accommodate interested persons. The 

first session will convene at 2:00 p.m. 

and will continue until 4:00 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 LaSalle County, Emergency 

Operations Center, 711 East Etna Road, 

Ottawa, Illinois 61350. 

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 in 

writing, as discussed above. 

Persons may register to attend or 

present oral comments at the meetings 

on the scope of the NEPA review by 


rljohnson on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 22 / Tuesday, February 3, 2015 / Notices 5795 

contacting the NRC Project Manager, 

Mr. David Drucker, by telephone at 1– 

800–368–5642, extension 6223, or by 

email at David.Drucker@nrc.gov, no 

later than February 27, 2015. 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. Mr. 

Drucker will need to be contacted no 

later than February 27, 2015, 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. 

At the conclusion of the scoping 

process, the NRC will prepare a concise 

summary of the determination and 

conclusions reached, including the 

significant issues identified, and will 

send a copy of the summary to each 

participant in the scoping process. The 

summary will also be available for 

inspection in ADAMS. The NRC staff 

will then prepare and issue for comment 

the draft supplement to the GEIS, which 

will be the subject of a separate notice 

and separate public meetings. Copies 

will be available for public inspection at 

the above-mentioned addresses. After 

receipt and consideration of the 

comments, the NRC will prepare a final 

supplement to the GEIS, which will also 

be available for public inspection.

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Exemption; issuance. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is issuing 

exemptions in response to a March 28, 

2014, request from Duke Energy Florida, 

Inc. (DEF or the licensee), representing 

itself and the other owners. The 

exemptions permit the use of the Crystal 

River Unit 3 Nuclear Generating Plant 

(CR–3) decommissioning trust fund (the 

Trust) for irradiated fuel management 

and site restoration activities in addition 

to decommissioning activities and allow 

the licensee to use withdrawals from the 

Trust for these purposes without prior 

notification to the NRC, similar to 

withdrawals for decommissioning 

activities. The NRC has reviewed the 

Trust and determined that, at this time, 

there is reasonable assurance of 

sufficient financial resources in the 

Trust for both irradiated fuel 

management and site restoration 

activities as well as to complete 

decommissioning activities.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

DEF is the holder of Facility 

Operating License No. DPR–72, for CR– 

3. By letter dated February 20, 2013 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML13056A005), 

DEF submitted to the NRC a 

certification in accordance with 

Sections 50.82(a)(1)(i) and 50.82(a)(1)(ii) 

of Title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR) indicating that it 

had permanently ceased power 

operations at CR–3 and that the CR–3 

reactor vessel had been permanently 

defueled. CR–3 has not operated since 

September 2009. 

By letter dated December 2, 2013, DEF 

submitted its Post Shutdown 

Decommissioning Activities Report 

(PSDAR) and the Site Specific 

Decommissioning Cost Estimate (DCE) 

as required by 10 CFR 50.82(a)(4)(i) and 

10 CFR 50.82(a) (8)(iii)(ADAMS 

Accession No. ML13340A009). By a 

separate letter dated December 2, 2013, 

DEF submitted an update to the CR–3 

Irradiated Fuel Management Plan 

(IFMP) as required by 10 CFR 50.54(bb) 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML13340A008). 

The facility consists of a permanently
