## II. Background

                    The NRC is issuing for public comment a draft environmental impact statement (EIS). The application submitted by FPL for COLs for Turkey Point Units 6 and 7 was submitted by letter dated June 30, 2009, pursuant to part 52 of Title 10 of the                     *Code of Federal Regulations.*                     A notice of receipt and availability of the application including the environmental report (ER) was published in the                     **Federal Register**                     on August 3, 2009 (                    *74 FR 38477*). A notice of acceptance for docketing of the application for the COL was published in the                     **Federal Register**                     on October 7, 2009 (                    *74 FR 51621*). A notice of intent to prepare a draft EIS and to conduct the scoping process was published in the                     **Federal Register**                     on June 15, 2010 (                    *75 FR 33851*). The draft EIS is a National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (NEPA) document that also supports the USACE's review of the Department of the Army (DA) permit application from FPL (SAJ-2009-02417). The USACE's Public Interest Review will be part of its Record of Decision and is not addressed in the EIS. As part of the USACE public comment process, the USACE will publish a public notice (in the                     **Federal Register**                    ) within 30 days of the publication of the draft EIS to solicit comments from the public regarding FPL's DA permit application for proposed work at the Turkey Point site.                

## III. Public Meetings for Comment

The NRC and the USACE will hold public meetings to present an overview of the draft EIS and to accept public comments on both the document and the associated DA permit in April 2015, in the Homestead, Florida area. A separate meeting notice will be issued as soon as the meeting dates are set. The meetings will be transcribed and will include: (1) A presentation of the contents of the draft EIS; and (2) the opportunity for interested government agencies, organizations, and individuals to provide comments on the draft report. For comments provided at the public meeting to be considered, they must be provided during the transcribed public meeting either orally or in writing. Additionally, the NRC and the USACE will host informal discussions one hour before the start of each meeting, during which time members of the public may meet and talk with staff members on an informal basis. No formal comments on the draft EIS will be accepted during the informal discussions.

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 24th day of February 2015.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Frank M. Akstulewicz,

Director, Division of New Reactor Licensing, Office of New Reactors.
