NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket Nos. 50–528, 50–529, 50–530; NRC– 

2009–0012] 

Arizona Public Service Company; 

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement and 

Conduct Scoping Process for Palo 

Verde Nuclear Generating Station, 

Units 1, 2, and 3 

Arizona Public Service Company 

(APS) has submitted an application for 

renewal of Facility Operating License 

Nos. NPF–41, NPF–51, and NPF–74 for 

an additional 20 years of operation at 

the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating 

Station, Units 1, 2, and 3 (Palo Verde). 

Palo Verde is located in Maricopa 

County, Arizona, approximately 26 

miles west of the Phoenix city limits. 

The current operating licenses for 

Palo Verde expire on June 1, 2025, April 

24, 2026, and November 25, 2027, for 

Units 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The 

application for renewal, dated December 

11, 2008, and supplemented by letter 

dated April 14, 2009, 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 

January 21, 2009 (74 FR 3655). A notice 

of acceptance for docketing of the 

application and opportunity for hearing 

regarding renewal of the facility 

operating license was published in the 

Federal Register on May 15, 2009 (74 

FR 22978). 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). 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 99 / Tuesday, May 26, 2009 / Notices 24885 

In accordance with 10 CFR 51.53(c) 

and 10 CFR 54.23, APS 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 

http://adamswebsearch.nrc.gov/ 

dologin.htm. The ADAMS accession 

number for the ER is ML083510615 (pp. 

371–794) and the supplement is 

ML091130221. 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/licensing/renewal/ 

applications/palo-verde.html. In 

addition, the ER is available for public 

inspection near the Palo Verde site at 

the Litchfield Park Branch Library, 101 

West Wigwam Boulevard, Litchfield 

Park, Arizona 85340. 

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 Palo Verde 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, APS. 

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 Palo Verde 

license renewal supplement to the GEIS. 

The scoping meetings will be held on 

June 25, 2009, and there will be two 

sessions to accommodate interested 

parties. The first session will convene at 

2 p.m. and will continue until 5 p.m., 

as necessary, and will be held at the 

Tonopah Valley High School, 38201 

West Indian School Road, Tonopah, 

Arizona 85354. 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, and will be held at the 

Estrella Mountain Community College, 

3000 North Dysart Road, Avondale, 

Arizona 85392. 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 Project Manager, Lisa Regner, by 

telephone at 1–800–368–5642, 

extension 1906 or by e-mail at 

Lisa.Regner@nrc.gov no later than June 

18, 2009. 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. Regner will need to be 

contacted no later than June 18, 2009, 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 Palo Verde license renewal 

review to: Chief, Rulemaking and 

Directives Branch, Division of 

Administrative Services, Office of 

Administration, Mailstop TWB 5B–01M, 

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 

Washington, DC 20555–0001, and 

should cite the publication date and 

page number of this Federal Register 

notice. To be considered in the scoping 

process, written comments should be 

postmarked by July 27, 2009. Electronic 

comments may be sent by e-mail to the 

NRC at PaloVerde.EIS@nrc.gov, and 

should be sent no later than July 27, 

24886 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 99 / Tuesday, May 26, 2009 / Notices 

2009, to be considered in the scoping 

process. Comments will be available 

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. 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. Regner at the aforementioned 

telephone number or e-mail address.
