COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 50–305] 

Dominion Energy Kewaunee, Inc., 

Kewaunee Power Station; Notice of 

Intent To Prepare an Environmental 

Impact Statement and Conduct 

Scoping Process 

Dominion Energy Kewaunee, Inc. 

(DEK) has submitted an application for 

renewal of Facility Operating License 

No. DPR–43 for an additional 20 years 

of operation at Kewaunee Power Station 

(KPS). KPS is located on the westcentral shore of Lake Michigan in 

Kewaunee County, Wisconsin, 

approximately 30 miles east-southeast 

of Green Bay and 8 miles south of the 

City of Kewaunee. The operating license 

for KPS expires on December 21, 2013. 

The application for renewal, dated 

August 14, 2008, was submitted 

pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 54. A 

notice of receipt and availability of the 

application, which included the 

environmental report (ER), was 

published in the Federal Register on 

August 29, 2008 (73 FR 51023). A notice 

of acceptance for docketing of the 

application for renewal of the facility 

operating license was published in the 

Federal Register on October 1, 2008 (73 

FR 57154). The purpose of this notice is 

to inform the public that the U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) 

will be preparing an environmental 

impact statement (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. In addition, 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 in 

meeting the requirements of the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969 (NEPA). 

In accordance with 10 CFR 51.53(c) 

and 10 CFR 54.23, DEK submitted the 

ER as part of the application. The ER 

was prepared pursuant to 10 CFR Part 

51 and is publicly available at the NRC 

Public Document Room (PDR), located 

at One White Flint North, 11555 

Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 

20852, or from the NRC’s Agencywide 

Documents Access and Management 

System (ADAMS). The ADAMS Public 

Electronic Reading Room is accessible at

Street, Kewaunee, WI 54216. 

This notice advises the public that the 

NRC intends to gather the information 

necessary to prepare a plant-specific 

supplement to the Commission’s 

‘‘Generic Environmental Impact 

Statement (GEIS) for License Renewal of 

Nuclear Plants’’ (NUREG–1437), related 

to the review of the application for 

renewal of the KPS operating license 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 in 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. 

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, Dominion Energy 

Kewaunee, Inc. 

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.

f. Any person who has petitioned or 

intends to petition for leave to 

intervene. 

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 KPS license 

renewal supplement to the GEIS. The 

scoping meetings will be held at the 

Carlton Town Hall, N 1296 Town Hall 

Road, Kewaunee, WI 54216 on October 

22, 2008. There will be two sessions to 

accommodate interested parties. The 

first session will convene at 1:30 p.m. 

and will continue until 4:30 p.m., as 

necessary. The second session will 

convene at 7 p.m. with a repeat of the 

overview portions of the meeting and 

will continue until 10 p.m., as 

necessary. 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 below. Persons 

may register to attend or present oral 

comments at the meetings on the scope 

of the NEPA review by contacting the 

NRC Environmental Project Manager, 

Ms. Sarah Lopas, by telephone at 1– 

800–368–5642, extension 1147, or by email at sarah.lopas@nrc.gov no later 

than October 17, 2008. 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. Ms. Lopas 

will need to be contacted no later than 

October 15, 2008, 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. 

Members of the public may send 

written comments on the environmental 

scope of the KPS license renewal review 

to: Chief, Rulemaking, Directives and 

Editing Branch, Division of 

Administrative Services, Office of 

Administration, Mailstop T–6D59, U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 

Washington, DC 20555–0001, and 

should cite the publication date and 

page number of this Federal Register 

notice. Comments may also be delivered 

to the NRC, Room T–6D59, Two White 

Flint North, 11545 Rockville Pike, 

Rockville, Maryland 20852, from 7:30 

a.m. to 4:15 p.m. during Federal 

workdays. To be considered in the 

scoping process, written comments 

should be postmarked by December 8, 

2008. Electronic comments may be sent 

by e-mail to the NRC at

electronically and accessible through 

ADAMS at http:// 

adamswebsearch.nrc.gov/dologin.htm. 

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. Notice of 

opportunity for a hearing regarding the 

renewal application was the subject of 

the aforementioned Federal Register 

notice (73 FR 57154). 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 at http:// 

adamswebsearch.nrc.gov/dologin.htm. 

The staff will then prepare and issue for 

comment the draft supplement to the 

GEIS, which will be the subject of 

separate notices and separate public 

meetings. Copies will be available for 

public inspection at the abovementioned addresses, and one copy per 

request will be provided free of charge. 

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. 

Information about the proposed 

action, the supplement to the GEIS, and 

the scoping process may be obtained 

from Ms. Lopas at the aforementioned 

telephone number or e-mail address.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket Nos. 50–250 and 50–251] 

Florida Power and Light Company; 

Notice of Issuance of Amendment to 

Renewed Facility Operating License 

and Final Determination of No 

Significant Hazards Consideration 

(TAC Nos. MD9229 and MD9330) 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC or Commission) has 

issued Amendment Nos. 238 and 233 to 

Facility Operating License Nos. DPR–31 

and DPR–41, respectively, issued to 

Florida Power and Light Company (the 

licensee), which revised the Technical 

Specifications (TSs) for operation of the 

Turkey Point Nuclear Plant, Units 3 and 

4, located in Miami-Dade County, 

Florida. The amendment was effective 

as of the date of its issuance. 

These amendments remove the notes 

associated with License Amendment 

No. 221 regarding the inoperability of 

the Unit 4 Rod Position Indication (RPI) 

system for control rod F–8 in Shutdown 

Bank B, and the notes associated with 

Amendment No. 230 regarding the 

inoperability of the Unit 3 RPI system 

for control rod M–6 in Control Bank C. 

The RPI system for control rod F–8 was 

repaired during the Unit 4 Cycle 22 

refueling outage in spring 2005; thus, 

the associated TS License Amendment 

No. 221 revisions are no longer 

required. Similarly, the RPI system for 

control rod M–6 was repaired in June 

2007; thus, the associated TS License 

Amendment No. 230 revisions are no 

longer required. 

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.
