The State agrees to cooperate with the 

Commission and other Agreement States 

in the formulation of standards and 

regulatory programs of the State and the 

Commission for protection against 

hazards of radiation and to assure that 

the State’s program will continue to be 

compatible with the program of the 

Commission for the regulation of 

materials covered by this Agreement. 

The State and the Commission agree 

to keep each other informed of proposed 

changes in their respective rules and 

regulations, and to provide each other 

the opportunity for early and 

substantive contribution to the proposed 

changes. 

The State and the Commission agree 

to keep each other informed of events, 

accidents, and licensee performance 

that may have generic implication or 

otherwise be of regulatory interest. 

Article VII 

The Commission and the State agree 

that it is desirable to provide reciprocal 

recognition of licenses for the materials 

listed in Article I licensed by the other 

party or by any other Agreement State. 

Accordingly, the Commission and the 

State agree to develop appropriate rules, 

regulations, and procedures by which 

such reciprocity will be accorded. 

Article VIII 

The Commission, upon its own 

initiative after reasonable notice and 

opportunity for hearing to the State, or 

upon request of the Governor of the 

State, may terminate or suspend all or 

part of this Agreement and reassert the 

licensing and regulatory authority 

vested in it under the Act if the 

Commission finds that (1) such 

termination or suspension is required to 

protect public health and safety, or (2) 

the State has not complied with one or 

more of the requirements of Section 274 

of the Act. 

The Commission may also, pursuant 

to Section 274j of the Act, temporarily 

suspend all or part of this Agreement if, 

in the judgment of the Commission, an 

emergency situation exists requiring 

immediate action to protect public 

health and safety and the State has 

failed to take necessary steps. The 

Commission shall periodically review 

actions taken by the State under this 

Agreement to ensure compliance with 

Section 274 of the Act which requires a

the materials covered by this Agreement

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[NRC–2009–0222] 

Scoping Summary Report for the 

Update of the Generic Environmental 

Impact Statement for License Renewal 

of Nuclear Plants (NUREG–1437) 

On June 3, 2003 (68 FR 33209), the 

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 

(NRC) issued, for public comment, a 

Notice of Intent to prepare an Update of 

the Generic Environmental Impact 

Statement for License Renewal of 

Nuclear Plants (GEIS), NUREG–1437. In 

accordance with 10 CFR 51.26, the NRC 

conducted scoping meetings and 

collected comments from the public for 

the Update to the License Renewal 

GEIS, NUREG–1437. Subsequently, the 

Commission reopened scoping with a 

notice published in the Federal Register 

on October 3, 2005 (70 FR 57628) to 

encompass any additional comments 

since the original issuance of the Notice 

of Intent. 

The NRC conducted a public scoping 

meeting in each of the four NRC regions 

for the License Renewal GEIS update. 

The public scoping meetings were held 

in Atlanta, Georgia; Chicago, Illinois; 

Anaheim, California; and Boston, 

Massachusetts. The NRC issued public 

scoping meeting summaries on August 

12 and 13, 2003. The official transcripts 

from the public scoping meetings, 

written comments, and meeting 

summaries are available electronically 

for public inspection in the NRC Public 

Document Room (PDR) or from the 

NRC’s Agencywide Documents Access 

and Management System (ADAMS) 

under package Accession Numbers 

ML032170942, ML032260339, 

ML032260715, and ML032170934. The 

scoping period for this update to the 

GEIS closed on September 17, 2003, but 

was subsequently reopened from 

October 3, 2005, to December 30, 2005. 

The NRC staff and its contractor 

reviewed the public scoping meeting 

transcripts and all written materials 

received during the public scoping 

periods and identified individual 

comments. All comments and 

suggestions received orally during the 

scoping meetings, or in writing, were 

considered. 

The NRC staff prepared a Scoping 

Summary Report for the Update of the 

GEIS. This report summarizes 

comments received during the two 

public scoping periods and during four 

public scoping meetings. The 

environmental review process for 

license renewal of nuclear facilities 

continues under the current regulatory 

framework throughout the course of this 

effort. 

In accordance with Title 10 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations Section 

51.29(b), a copy of the Scoping 

Summary Report has been made 

publicly available at the PDR, located at 

One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville 

Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852, or 

from ADAMS. The ADAMS Public 

Electronic Reading Room is accessible at 

http://adamswebsearch.nrc.gov/ 

dologin.htm. The Accession Number for 

the Scoping Summary Report is 

ML082960910. 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
