SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Institute for Literacy Advisory 

Board is authorized by section 242 of 

the Workforce Investment Act of 1998, 

Public Law 105–220 (20 U.S.C. 9252). 

The Board consists of 10 individuals 

appointed by the President with the 

advice and consent of the Senate. The 

Board advises and makes 

recommendations to the Interagency 

Group that administers the Institute. 

The Interagency Group is composed of 

the Secretaries of Education, Labor, and 

Health and Human Services. The 

Interagency Group considers the Board’s 

recommendations in planning the goals 

of the Institute and in implementing any 

programs to achieve those goals. 

Specifically, the Board performs the 

following functions: (a) Makes 

recommendations concerning the 

appointment of the Director and the 

staff of the Institute; (b) provides 

independent advice on operation of the 

Institute; and (c) receives reports from 

the Interagency Group and the 

Institute’s Director. 

The purpose of this meeting is to 

discuss the Institute’s future and current 

program priorities; status of on-going 

Institute work; other relevant literacy 

activities and issues; and other Board 

business as necessary. 

On October 23, 2008 from 9 a.m. to 

10:30 a.m., the Board will meet in 

closed session to discuss personnel 

issues. The discussion relates to the 

national search for the position of 

Director. The discussion is likely to 

disclose information of a personal 

nature where disclosure would 

constitute a clearly unwarranted 

invasion of personnel privacy. The 

discussion must therefore be held in 

closed session under exemptions 2 and 

6 of the Government in the Sunshine 

Act, 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(2) and (6). A 

summary of the activities at the closed 

session and related matters that are 

informative to the public and consistent 

with the policy of 5 U.S.C. 552b will be 

available to the public within 14 days of 

the meeting. 

Individuals who will need 

accommodations for a disability in order 

to attend the meeting (e.g., interpreting 

services, assistance listening devices, or 

materials in alternative format) should 

notify Steve Langley at 202–233–2043 

no later than October 16, 2008. We will 

attempt to meet requests for 

accommodations after this date but 

cannot guarantee their availability. The 

meeting site is accessible to individuals 

with disabilities. 

Request for Public Written Comment. 

The public may send written comments 

to the Advisory Board no later than 5

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

dologin.htm. The Accession Number for 

the ER is ML082341039. Persons who 

do not have access to ADAMS, or who 

encounter problems in accessing the 

documents located in ADAMS, should 

contact the NRC’s PDR reference staff by 

telephone at 1–800–397–4209, or 301– 

415–4737, or by e-mail at 

pdr.resource@nrc.gov. The ER may also 

be viewed on the Internet at http:// 

www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/

kewaunee.html. In addition, the ER is 

available for public inspection near KPS 

at the following public library: 

Kewaunee Public Library, 822 Juneau 

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.
