SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Council on Environmental Quality's 
implementing regulations for the National Environmental Policy Act 
(NEPA) (40 CFR 1502.9[c] [1] and [2]) and DOE's NEPA implementing 
regulations (10 CFR 1021.314) require the preparation of a supplement 
to an environmental impact statement (EIS) when there are substantial 
changes to a proposal or when there are significant new circumstances 
or information relevant to environmental concerns. DOE may also prepare 
a supplemental EIS at any time to further the purposes of NEPA. 
Pursuant to these provisions, the NNSA intends to prepare a 
supplemental environmental impact statement (SEIS) to assess the 
potential environmental impacts of the construction and operation of 
the nuclear facility portion of the Chemistry and Metallurgy Research 
Building Replacement Project (CMRR-NF) at Los Alamos National 
Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, New Mexico.
    On October 1, 2010, NNSA published a notice of intent to prepare 
the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for the Nuclear 
Facility Portion of the Chemistry and Metallurgy Research Building 
Replacement Project at Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, New 
Mexico (DOE/EIS-0350-S1). That notice stated that the scoping period 
would continue until November 1, 2010. In response to public requests, 
NNSA has extended the public scoping period through November 16, 2010. 
NNSA will consider comments received after this date to the extent 
practicable as it prepares the Draft CMRR-NF SEIS.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on November 1, 2010.
Thomas P. D'Agostino,
Administrator, National Nuclear Security Administration.
