Package Accession No. ML21158A193. 

The ER will also be available for 

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

reactors/operating/licensing/renewal/ 

subsequent-license-renewal.html. In 

addition, the SLR application, including 

the ER, is available for public review at 

the Seneca Branch of the Oconee 

County Public Library, 300 E. South 2nd 

Street, Seneca, SC 29678. 

The NRC intends to gather the 

information necessary to prepare a 

plant-specific supplement to NUREG– 

1437, ‘‘Generic Environmental Impact 

Statement for License Renewal of 

Nuclear Plants’’ (ADAMS Package 

Accession No. ML13107A023) (GEIS), 

related to the SLR application for 

Oconee. The NRC is required by 10 CFR 

51.95 to prepare a plant-specific 

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 at 10 CFR part 51. 

The supplement to the GEIS will 

evaluate the environmental impacts of 

subsequent license renewal for ONS, 

and reasonable alternatives thereto. 

Possible alternatives to the proposed 

action include the no action alternative 

and reasonable alternative energy 

sources. 

As part of its environmental review, 

the NRC will first conduct a scoping 

process for the plant-specific 

supplement to the GEIS and, as soon as 

practicable thereafter, will prepare a 

draft supplement to the GEIS for public 

comment. Participation in this 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 that 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 that 

have been covered by 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 under 

consideration; 

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 NRC’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, Duke Energy; 

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(b), 

the scoping process for an EIS may 

include a public scoping meeting to 

help identify significant issues related 

to the proposed action and to determine 

the scope of issues to be addressed in 

the EIS. 

The NRC is announcing that it will 

hold a public scoping meeting as an 

online webinar for the ONS SLR 

supplement to the GEIS. The webinar 

will include a telephone line for 

members of the public to provide 

comments. A court reporter will 

transcribe all comments received during 

the webinar. 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. The public 

scoping webinar will be held on August 

25, 2021, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. 

ET. Persons interested in attending this 

online webinar should monitor the 

NRC’s Public Meeting Schedule website 

at https://www.nrc.gov/pmns/mtg for 

additional information, agenda for the 

meeting, and access information for the 

webinar. Please contact Mr. Lance 

Rakovan no later than August 18, 2021, 

if accommodations or special equipment 

is needed to attend or to provide 

comments, so that the NRC staff can 

determine whether the request can be 

accommodated. 

The public scoping meeting will 

include: (1) An overview by the NRC 

staff of the environmental and safety 

review processes, 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 

environmental issues or the proposed 

scope of the ONS SLR supplement to 

the GEIS. 

Participation in the scoping process 

for the ONS SLR 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.

II. Notice of Consideration of Issuance 

of Amendments to Facility Operating 

Licenses and Combined Licenses and 

Proposed No Significant Hazards 

Consideration Determination 

For the facility-specific amendment 

requests shown in this notice, the 

Commission finds that the licensees’ 

analyses provided, consistent with 

section 50.91 of title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR) ‘‘Notice 

for public comment; State 

consultation,’’ are sufficient to support 

the proposed determinations that these 

amendment requests involve NSHC. 

Under the Commission’s regulations in 

10 CFR 50.92, operation of the facilities 

in accordance with the proposed 

amendments would not (1) involve a 

significant increase in the probability or 

consequences of an accident previously 

evaluated; or (2) create the possibility of 

a new or different kind of accident from 

any accident previously evaluated; or 

(3) involve a significant reduction in a 

margin of safety. 

The Commission is seeking public 

comments on these proposed 

determinations. Any comments received 

within 30 days after the date of 

publication of this notice will be 

considered in making any final 

determinations. 

Normally, the Commission will not 

issue the amendments until the 

expiration of 60 days after the date of 

publication of this notice. The 

Commission may issue any of these 

license amendments before expiration of 

the 60-day period provided that its final 

determination is that the amendment 

involves NSHC. In addition, the 

Commission may issue any of these 

amendments prior to the expiration of 

the 30-day comment period if 

circumstances change during the 30-day 

comment period such that failure to act 

in a timely way would result, for 

example in derating or shutdown of the 

facility. If the Commission takes action 

on any of these amendments prior to the 

expiration of either the comment period 

or the notice period, it will publish in 

the Federal Register a notice of 

issuance. If the Commission makes a 

final NSHC determination for any of 

these amendments, any hearing will 

take place after issuance. The 

Commission expects that the need to 

take action on any amendment before 60 

days have elapsed will occur very 

infrequently. 

A. Opportunity To Request a Hearing 

and Petition for Leave To Intervene 

Within 60 days after the date of 

publication of this notice, any persons 

(petitioner) whose interest may be 

affected by any of these actions may file 

a request for a hearing and petition for 

leave to intervene (petition) with respect 

to that action. Petitions shall be filed in 

accordance with the Commission’s 

‘‘Agency Rules of Practice and 

Procedure’’ in 10 CFR part 2. Interested 

persons should consult a current copy 

of 10 CFR 2.309. The NRC’s regulations 

are accessible electronically from the 

NRC Library on the NRC’s website at 

https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doccollections/cfr/. If a petition is filed, the 

Commission or a presiding officer will 

rule on the petition and, if appropriate, 

a notice of a hearing will be issued. 

As required by 10 CFR 2.309(d) the 

petition should specifically explain the 

reasons why intervention should be 

permitted with particular reference to 

the following general requirements for 

standing: (1) The name, address, and 

telephone number of the petitioner; (2) 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
43688 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 151 / Tuesday, August 10, 2021 / Notices 

the nature of the petitioner’s right to be 

made a party to the proceeding; (3) the 

nature and extent of the petitioner’s 

property, financial, or other interest in 

the proceeding; and (4) the possible 

effect of any decision or order which 

may be entered in the proceeding on the 

petitioner’s interest. 

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(f), 

the petition must also set forth the 

specific contentions that the petitioner 

seeks to have litigated in the 

proceeding. Each contention must 

consist of a specific statement of the 

issue of law or fact to be raised or 

controverted. In addition, the petitioner 

must provide a brief explanation of the 

bases for the contention and a concise 

statement of the alleged facts or expert 

opinion that support the contention and 

on which the petitioner intends to rely 

in proving the contention at the hearing. 

The petitioner must also provide 

references to the specific sources and 

documents on which the petitioner 

intends to rely to support its position on 

the issue. The petition must include 

sufficient information to show that a 

genuine dispute exists with the 

applicant or licensee on a material issue 

of law or fact. Contentions must be 

limited to matters within the scope of 

the proceeding. The contention must be 

one that, if proven, would entitle the 

petitioner to relief. A petitioner who 

fails to satisfy the requirements at 10 

CFR 2.309(f) with respect to at least one 

contention will not be permitted to 

participate as a party. 

Those permitted to intervene become 

parties to the proceeding, subject to any 

limitations in the order granting leave to 

intervene. Parties have the opportunity 

to participate fully in the conduct of the 

hearing with respect to resolution of 

that party’s admitted contentions, 

including the opportunity to present 

evidence, consistent with the NRC’s 

regulations, policies, and procedures. 

Petitions must be filed no later than 

60 days from the date of publication of 

this notice. Petitions and motions for 

leave to file new or amended 

contentions that are filed after the 

deadline will not be entertained absent 

a determination by the presiding officer 

that the filing demonstrates good cause 

by satisfying the three factors in 10 CFR 

2.309(c)(1)(i) through (iii). The petition 

must be filed in accordance with the 

filing instructions in the ‘‘Electronic 

Submissions (E-Filing)’’ section of this 

document. 

If a hearing is requested, and the 

Commission has not made a final 

determination on the issue of NSHC, the 

Commission will make a final 

determination on the issue of NSHC. 

The final determination will serve to 

establish when the hearing is held. If the 

final determination is that the 

amendment request involves NSHC, the 

Commission may issue the amendment 

and make it immediately effective, 

notwithstanding the request for a 

hearing. Any hearing would take place 

after issuance of the amendment. If the 

final determination is that the 

amendment request involves a 

significant hazards consideration, then 

any hearing held would take place 

before the issuance of the amendment 

unless the Commission finds an 

imminent danger to the health or safety 

of the public, in which case it will issue 

an appropriate order or rule under 10 

CFR part 2. 

A State, local governmental body, 

Federally recognized Indian Tribe, or 

agency thereof, may submit a petition to 

the Commission to participate as a party 

under 10 CFR 2.309(h)(1). The petition 

should state the nature and extent of the 

petitioner’s interest in the proceeding. 

The petition should be submitted to the 

Commission no later than 60 days from 

the date of publication of this notice. 

The petition must be filed in accordance 

with the filing instructions in the 

‘‘Electronic Submissions (E-Filing)’’ 

section of this document, and should 

meet the requirements for petitions set 

forth in this section, except that under 

10 CFR 2.309(h)(2) a State, local 

governmental body, or Federally 

recognized Indian Tribe, or agency 

thereof does not need to address the 

standing requirements in 10 CFR 

2.309(d) if the facility is located within 

its boundaries. Alternatively, a State, 

local governmental body, Federally 

recognized Indian Tribe, or agency 

thereof may participate as a non-party 

under 10 CFR 2.315(c). 

If a petition is submitted, any person 

who is not a party to the proceeding and 

is not affiliated with or represented by 

a party may, at the discretion of the 

presiding officer, be permitted to make 

a limited appearance pursuant to the 

provisions of 10 CFR 2.315(a). A person 

making a limited appearance may make 

an oral or written statement of his or her 

position on the issues but may not 

otherwise participate in the proceeding. 

A limited appearance may be made at 

any session of the hearing or at any 

prehearing conference, subject to the 

limits and conditions as may be 

imposed by the presiding officer. Details 

regarding the opportunity to make a 

limited appearance will be provided by 

the presiding officer if such sessions are 

scheduled. 

B. Electronic Submissions (E-Filing) 

All documents filed in NRC 

adjudicatory proceedings including 

documents filed by an interested State, 

local governmental body, Federally 

recognized Indian Tribe, or designated 

agency thereof that requests to 

participate under 10 CFR 2.315(c), must 

be filed in accordance with 10 CFR 

2.302. The E-Filing process requires 

participants to submit and serve all 

adjudicatory documents over the 

internet, or in some cases, to mail copies 

on electronic storage media, unless an 

exemption permitting an alternative 

filing method, as further discussed, is 

granted. Detailed guidance on electronic 

submissions is located in the Guidance 

for Electronic Submissions to the NRC 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML13031A056) 

and on the NRC website at https://

www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html. 

To comply with the procedural 

requirements of E-Filing, at least 10 

days prior to the filing deadline, the 

participant should contact the Office of 

the Secretary by email at 

hearing.docket@nrc.gov, or by telephone 

at 301–415–1677, to (1) Request a digital 

identification (ID) certificate, which 

allows the participant (or its counsel or 

representative) to digitally sign 

submissions and access the E-Filing 

system for any proceeding in which it 

is participating; and (2) advise the 

Secretary that the participant will be 

submitting a petition or other 

adjudicatory document (even in 

instances in which the participant, or its 

counsel or representative, already holds 

an NRC-issued digital ID certificate). 

Based upon this information, the 

Secretary will establish an electronic 

docket for the proceeding if the 

Secretary has not already established an 

electronic docket. 

Information about applying for a 

digital ID certificate is available on the 

NRC’s public website at https://

www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/ 

getting-started.html. After a digital ID 

certificate is obtained and a docket 

created, the participant must submit 

adjudicatory documents in Portable 

Document Format. Guidance on 

submissions is available on the NRC’s 

public website at https://www.nrc.gov/ 

site-help/electronic-sub-ref-mat.html. A 

filing is considered complete at the time 

the document is submitted through the 

NRC’s E-Filing system. To be timely, an 

electronic filing must be submitted to 

the E-Filing system no later than 11:59 

p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. 

Upon receipt of a transmission, the EFiling system timestamps the document 

and sends the submitter an email 

confirming receipt of the document. The 

E-Filing system also distributes an email 

that provides access to the document to 

the NRC’s Office of the General Counsel 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 151 / Tuesday, August 10, 2021 / Notices 43689 

and any others who have advised the 

Office of the Secretary that they wish to 

participate in the proceeding, so that the 

filer need not serve the document on 

those participants separately. Therefore, 

applicants and other participants (or 

their counsel or representative) must 

apply for and receive a digital ID 

certificate before adjudicatory 

documents are filed to obtain access to 

the documents via the E-Filing system. 

A person filing electronically using 

the NRC’s adjudicatory E-Filing system 

may seek assistance by contacting the 

NRC’s Electronic Filing Help Desk 

through the ‘‘Contact Us’’ link located 

on the NRC’s public website at https:// 

www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html, by email to 

MSHD.Resource@nrc.gov, or by a tollfree call at 1–866–672–7640. The NRC 

Electronic Filing Help Desk is available 

between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., Eastern 

Time, Monday through Friday, 

excluding government holidays. 

Participants who believe that they 

have good cause for not submitting 

documents electronically must file an 

exemption request, in accordance with 

10 CFR 2.302(g), with their initial paper 

filing stating why there is good cause for 

not filing electronically and requesting 

authorization to continue to submit 

documents in paper format. Such filings 

must be submitted in accordance with 

10 CFR 2.302(b)–(d). Participants filing 

adjudicatory documents in this manner 

are responsible for serving their 

documents on all other participants. 

Participants granted an exemption 

under 10 CFR 2.302(g)(2) must still meet 

the electronic formatting requirement in 

10 CFR 2.302(g)(1), unless the 

participant also seeks and is granted an 

exemption from 10 CFR 2.302(g)(1). 

Documents submitted in adjudicatory 

proceedings will appear in the NRC’s 

electronic hearing docket, which is 

publicly available at https://

adams.nrc.gov/ehd, unless excluded 

pursuant to an order of the presiding 

officer. If you do not have an NRCissued digital ID certificate as 

previously described, click ‘‘cancel’’ 

when the link requests certificates and 

you will be automatically directed to the 

NRC’s electronic hearing dockets where 

you will be able to access any publicly 

available documents in a particular 

hearing docket. Participants are 

requested not to include personal 

privacy information such as social 

security numbers, home addresses, or 

personal phone numbers in their filings 

unless an NRC regulation or other law 

requires submission of such 

information. With respect to 

copyrighted works, except for limited 

excerpts that serve the purpose of the 

adjudicatory filings and would 

constitute a Fair Use application, 

participants should not include 

copyrighted materials in their 

submission.

III. Notice of Issuance of Amendments 

to Facility Operating Licenses and 

Combined Licenses 

During the period since publication of 

the last monthly notice, the Commission 

has issued the following amendments. 

The Commission has determined for 

each of these amendments that the 

application complies with the standards 

and requirements of the Atomic Energy 

Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and 

the Commission’s rules and regulations. 

The Commission has made appropriate 

findings as required by the Act and the 

Commission’s rules and regulations in 

10 CFR chapter I, which are set forth in 

the license amendment. 

A notice of consideration of issuance 

of amendment to facility operating 

license or combined license, as 

applicable, proposed NSHC 

determination, and opportunity for a 

hearing in connection with these 

actions, was published in the Federal 

Register as indicated in the safety 

evaluation for each amendment. 

Unless otherwise indicated, the 

Commission has determined that these 

amendments satisfy the criteria for 

categorical exclusion in accordance 

with 10 CFR 51.22 ‘‘Criterion for 

categorical exclusion; identification of 

licensing and regulatory actions eligible 

for categorical exclusion or otherwise 

not requiring environmental review.’’ 

Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), 

no environmental impact statement or 

environmental assessment need be 

prepared for these amendments. If the 

Commission has prepared an 

environmental assessment under the 

special circumstances provision in 10 

CFR 51.22(b) and has made a 

determination based on that assessment, 

it is so indicated in the safety evaluation 

for the amendment. 

For further details with respect to 

each action, see the amendment and 

associated documents such as the 

Commission’s letter and safety 

evaluation, which may be obtained 

using the ADAMS accession numbers 

indicated in the following table. The 

safety evaluation will provide the 

ADAMS accession numbers for the 

application for amendment and the 

Federal Register citation for any 

environmental assessment. All of these 

items can be accessed as described in 

the ‘‘Obtaining Information and 

Submitting Comments’’ section of this 

document.

IV. Notice of Issuance of Amendment to 

Facility Operating Licenses and 

Combined Licenses and Final 

Determination of No Significant 

Hazards Consideration and 

Opportunity for a Hearing (Exigent 

Circumstances or Emergency Situation) 

Since publication of the last monthly 

notice, the Commission has issued the 

following amendment. The Commission 

has determined for this amendment that 

the application for the amendment 

complies with the standards and 

requirements of the Atomic Energy Act 

of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the 

Commission’s rules and regulations. 

The Commission has made appropriate 

findings as required by the Act and the 

Commission’s rules and regulations in 

10 CFR chapter I, which are set forth in 

the license amendment. 

Because of exigent circumstances or 

emergency situation associated with the 

date the amendment was needed, there 

was not time for the Commission to 

publish, for public comment before 

issuance, its usual notice of 

consideration of issuance of 

amendment, proposed NSHC 

determination, and opportunity for a 

hearing. 

For exigent circumstances, the 

Commission has either issued a Federal 

Register notice providing opportunity 

for public comment or has used local 

media to provide notice to the public in 

the area surrounding a licensee’s facility 

of the licensee’s application and of the 

Commission’s proposed determination 

of NSHC. The Commission has provided 

a reasonable opportunity for the public 

to comment, using its best efforts to 

make available to the public means of 

communication for the public to 

respond quickly, and in the case of 

telephone comments, the comments 

have been recorded or transcribed as 

appropriate and the licensee has been 

informed of the public comments. 

In circumstances where failure to act 

in a timely way would have resulted, for 

example, in derating or shutdown of a 

nuclear power plant or in prevention of 

either resumption of operation or of 

increase in power output up to the 

plant’s licensed power level, the 

Commission may not have had an 

opportunity to provide for public 

comment on its NSHC determination. In 

such case, the license amendment has 

been issued without opportunity for 

comment prior to issuance. If there has 

been some time for public comment but 

less than 30 days, the Commission may 

provide an opportunity for public 

comment. If comments have been 

requested, it is so stated. In either event, 

the State has been consulted by 

telephone whenever possible. 

Under its regulations, the Commission 

may issue and make an amendment 

immediately effective, notwithstanding 

the pendency before it of a request for 

a hearing from any person, in advance 

of the holding and completion of any 

required hearing, where it has 

determined that NSHC is involved. 

The Commission has applied the 

standards of 10 CFR 50.92 and has made 

a final determination that the 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
43696 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 151 / Tuesday, August 10, 2021 / Notices 

amendments involve NSHC. The basis 

for this determination is contained in 

the documents related to each action. 

Accordingly, the amendment has been 

issued and made effective as indicated. 

For those amendments that have not 

been previously noticed in the Federal 

Register, within 60 days after the date 

of publication of this notice, any 

persons (petitioner) whose interest may 

be affected by this action may file a 

request for a hearing and petition for 

leave to intervene (petition) with respect 

to the action. Petitions shall be filed in 

accordance with the guidance 

concerning the Commission’s ‘‘Agency 

Rules of Practice and Procedure’’ in 10 

CFR part 2 as discussed in section II.A 

of this document. 

Unless otherwise indicated, the 

Commission has determined that the 

amendment satisfies the criteria for 

categorical exclusion in accordance 

with 10 CFR 51.22. Therefore, pursuant 

to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental 

impact statement or environmental 

assessment need be prepared for this 

amendment. If the Commission has 

prepared an environmental assessment 

under the special circumstances 

provision in 10 CFR 51.12(b) and has 

made a determination based on that 

assessment, it is so indicated in the 

safety evaluation for the amendment. 

For further details with respect to 

these actions, see the amendment and 

associated documents such as the 

Commission’s letter and safety 

evaluation, which may be obtained 

using the ADAMS accession numbers 

indicated in the following table. The 

safety evaluation will provide the 

ADAMS accession number(s) for the 

application for amendment and the 

Federal Register citation for any 

environmental assessment. All of these 

items can be accessed as described in 

the ‘‘Obtaining Information and 

Submitting Comments’’ section of this 

document.

NRC Addresses Environmental Justice 

in Its Programs, Policies, and Activities 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Extension of comment period. 

SUMMARY: On July 9, 2021, the U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) 

requested comments as part of its 

systematic review for how NRC 

programs, policies, and activities 

address environmental justice. 

Specifically, the NRC requested input 

on how the agency is addressing 

environmental justice, considering the 

agency’s mission and statutory 

authority. The information will be used 

to inform the agency’s assessment of 

how it addresses environmental justice. 

The public comment period was 

originally scheduled to close on August 

23, 2021. The NRC has decided to 

extend the public comment period to 

allow more time for members of the 

public to develop and submit their 

comments. 

DATES: The due date for comments 

requested in the notice published on 

July 9, 2021 (86 FR 36307) is extended. 

Submit comments by September 22, 

2021. Comments received after this date 

will be considered if it is practical to do 

so, but the NRC is able to ensure 

consideration only for comments 

received on or before this date. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

by any of the following methods: 

• Telephone: 301–415–3875 or 800–
