NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket Nos. 50–334 and 50–412; NRC– 

2008–0531] 

Firstenergy Nuclear Operating 

Company; Notice of Availability of the 

Final Supplement 36 to the Generic 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, 

Regarding the License Renewal of 

Beaver Valley Power Station, Units 1 

and 2 

Notice is hereby given that the U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the 

Commission or NRC) has published a 

final plant-specific supplement to the 

‘‘Generic Environmental Impact 

Statement for License Renewal of 

Nuclear Plants (GEIS),’’ NUREG–1437, 

regarding the renewal of operating 

licenses DPR–66 and NPF–73 for an 

additional 20 years of operation for the 

Beaver Valley Power Station, Units 1 

and 2, which are located in 

Shippingport, PA about 25 miles 

northwest of Pittsburgh, PA. Possible 

alternatives to the proposed action 

(license renewal) include no action and 

reasonable alternative energy sources. 

As discussed in Section 9.3 of the 

final Supplement 36, based on: (1) The 

analysis and findings in the GEIS; (2) 

the Environmental Report submitted by 

FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating 

Company; (3) consultation with Federal, 

State, and local agencies; (4) the NRC 

staff’s own independent review; and (5) 

the NRC staff’s consideration of public 

comments during the scoping and draft 

Supplemental Environment Impact 

Statement (SEIS) comment period, the 

recommendation of the staff is that the 

Commission determine that the adverse 

environmental impacts of license 

renewal for BVPS Units 1 and 2 are not 

so great that preserving the option of 

license renewal for energy-planning 

decision makers would be unreasonable. 

The final Supplement 36 to the GEIS 

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

the final Supplement 36 to the GEIS is

Nine Mile Point 3 Nuclear Project,

(COL) to build Unit 3 at its Nine Mile 

Point Nuclear Power Plant (NMPNPP) 

site, located on approximately 921 acres 

in Oswego County, New York on Lake 

Ontario, approximately five miles northnortheast of Oswego, New York. Nine 

Mile Point 3 Nuclear Project, LLC and 

UniStar Nuclear Operating Services, 

LLC submitted the application for the 

COL to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) by letter dated 

September 30, 2008, pursuant to Title 

10 of the Code of Federal Regulations

amended (NEPA). Pursuant to 36 CFR 

800.8(c), the NRC staff intends to use 

the process and documentation for the 

preparation of the EIS on the proposed 

action to comply with Section 106 of the 

NHPA in lieu of the procedures set forth 

at 36 CFR 800.3 through 800.6. 

In accordance with 10 CFR 51.45 and 

51.50, Nine Mile Point 3 Nuclear 

Project, LLC and UniStar Nuclear 

Operating Services, LLC submitted the 

ER as part of the application. The ER 

was prepared pursuant to 10 CFR Parts
