SUMMARY: On June 19, 2020, the U.S.

report (PSDAR) for the Duane Arnold 

Energy Center (DAEC). The PSDAR, 

which includes the site-specific 

decommissioning cost estimate (DCE), 

provides an overview of NextEra Energy 

Duane Arnold, LLC’s planned 

decommissioning activities, schedule, 

projected costs, and environmental 

impacts for DAEC. The NRC will hold 

an in-person as well as a virtual public 

meeting to discuss the DAEC PSDAR 

and DCE and to receive comments. 

DATES: The in-person public meeting 

will be held on Tuesday, September 28,

details for the virtual meeting will be 

provided on the NRC’s public meeting 

website. Comments are due by 

December 20, 2021. Comments received

II. Discussion 

Paragraph 50.82(a)(4)(i) of title 10 of 

the Code of Federal Regulations (10 

CFR) states that a PSDAR must contain 

a description of the planned 

decommissioning activities along with a 

schedule for their accomplishment, a 

discussion that provides the reasons for 

concluding that the environmental 

impacts associated with site-specific 

decommissioning activities will be 

bounded by appropriate previously 

issued environmental impact 

statements, and a site-specific DCE, 

including the projected cost of 

managing irradiated fuel. 

Accordingly, pursuant to 10 CFR 

50.82(a)(4)(ii), the NRC noticed receipt 

of the DAEC PSDAR, including the DCE, 

and made it available for public 

comment on June 19, 2020 (85 FR 

37116). The PSDAR, dated April 2, 

2020, is available at ADAMS Accession 

No. ML20094F603. The purpose of the 

original Federal Register notice (85 FR 

37116; June 19, 2020) was to inform the 

public of a meeting to discuss and 

accept comments on the PSDAR and 

DCE. The public comment period closed 

on October 19, 2020, but was reopened 

on October 26, 2020 (85 FR 67780), to 

account for the restrictions associated 

with the Coronavirus Disease 2019 

public health emergency. The DAEC 

PSDAR was supplemented on February 

5, 2021; the updated version is available 

at ADAMS Accession No. 

ML21036A160. The public comment 

period closed again on February 19, 

2021, was reopened on March 5, 2021 

(86 FR 12990), and extended again on 

August 9, 2021 (86 FR 43570). The 

DAEC PSDAR public comment period 

will currently close on December 20, 

2021. 

III. Request for Comment and Public 

Meetings 

The NRC will hold an in-person 

public meeting to discuss the DAEC 

PSDAR and receive comments on 

Tuesday, September 28, 2021, from 6:00

In compliance with this requirement, on May 15, 

2017, IEX, alongside the other Participants, filed a 

proposed rule change to eliminate the OATS Rules 

and amend IEX Rule 8.220 (the Electronic Blue 

Sheets or ‘‘EBS’’ rule). See Securities Exchange Act 

Release No. 80788 (May 26, 2017), 82 FR 25400 

(June 1, 2017) (SR–IEX–2017–18) (‘‘original 

proposal’’). IEX filed an amendment to the original 

proposal on August 24, 2017. See Letter from 

Claudia Crowley to Brent Fields dated August 24, 

2017, available at https://www.sec.gov/comments/ 

sr-iex-2017-18/iex201718-2243339-160872.pdf. The 

original proposal was subsequently withdrawn but 

provided similar views and mechanisms for 

eliminating the OATS rule as this proposed rule 

change does, and, as noted above, also proposed to 

amend the EBS rules. See Securities Exchange Act 

Release No. 82524 (January 17, 2018), 83 FR 3239 

(January 23, 2018) (Notice of Withdrawal of File No. 

SR–IEX–2017–18). IEX notes that the current filing 

addresses only the elimination of the OATS rule. 

p.m. until 9:00 p.m. (CT), at the Palo 

Community Center, located at 2800 

Hollenbeck Road, in Palo, Iowa. The 

virtual public meeting will occur during 

the week of October 4, 2021, and will

the Exchange Act 4 and Rule 608 of

Plan to comply with Rule 613 of 

Regulation NMS under the Exchange 

Act.7 The Plan was published for

May 17, 2016,8 and approved by the 

Commission, as modified, on November 

15, 2016.9 On March 15, 2017, the 

Commission approved the new IEX Rule

customer and order event information 

for orders in NMS Securities and OTC 

Equity Securities, across all markets,

to ‘‘file with the SEC the relevant rule 

change filing to eliminate or modify its 

duplicative rules within six (6) months 

of the SEC’s approval of the CAT NMS 

Plan.’’ 13 The Plan notes that ‘‘the
