NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-331; NRC-2010-0048]


Nextera Energy Duane Arnold, LLC; Duane Arnold Energy Center; 
Notice of Availability of the Final Supplement 42 to the Generic 
Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants

    Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
(NRC or Commission) has published a final plant-specific Supplement 42 
to the Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of 
Nuclear Plants (GEIS), NUREG-1437, regarding the renewal of operating 
license DPR-49 for an additional 20 years of operation for the Duane 
Arnold Energy Center (DAEC). The DAEC is located in Linn County, Iowa, 
approximately two miles north-northeast of the town of Palo. Possible 
alternatives to the proposed action (license renewal) include no action 
and reasonable alternative energy sources.
    As discussed in Section 9.4 of the final Supplement 42, based on: 
(1) The analysis and findings in the GEIS; (2)

[[Page 64749]]

the Environmental Report submitted by NextEra Energy Duane Arnold, LLC 
(formerly known as FPL Energy Duane Arnold, LLC (FPL-DA)); (3) 
consultation with Federal, State, and local agencies; (4) the staff's 
own independent review; and (5) the staff's consideration of public 
comments. The recommendation of the staff is that the NRC determines 
that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for DAEC are 
not great enough to deny the option of license renewal for energy-
planning decision-makers.
    The final Supplement 42 to the GEIS is publicly available at the 
NRC Public Document Room, 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 http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. The accession number for the final Supplement 42 
to the GEIS is ML102790308. Persons who do not have access to ADAMS, or 
who encounter problems in accessing the documents located in ADAMS, 
should contact the NRC's Public Document Room Reference staff by 
telephone at 1-800-397-4209, or 301-415-4737 or by e-mail at
