, the ER should identify any changes in the operation of transmission lines or maintenance of transmission line ROWs. The ER should also include maps, photographs, or drawings indicating the locations of all sites that do not meet the NESC clearance standards. 3.10 Environmental Justice To assist the staff in its review of potential human health impacts that could occur during the license renewal period, the ER should describe the general demographic composition of minority and low-income populations and communities (by race and ethnicity) residing in the immediate vicinity of the plant that could be affected by ongoing and future plant operations and license renewal activities. The geographic scale should be commensurate with the potential impact area and include a sample of the surrounding population to facilitate the evaluation of the communities, neighborhoods, and areas that may be disproportionately impacted. This discussion should cover all areas with an actual or potential for reasonably foreseeable physical, social, cultural, and health impacts. The ER should also include migrant workers as well as full-time residents and provide geographic information about the location of these populations and communities. Chapter 4 Environmental Consequences of the Proposed Action and Mitigating Actions General Guidance The revised GEIS evaluates 78 environmental issues. Analyses determined that 58 of these issues, identified as Category 1 issues in the GEIS, are adequately addressed for all applicable nuclear plants. Thus, a plant-specific review will not require additional analysis unless new and significant plant-specific information that could change the conclusions in the GEIS should be considered (see Table B-1 in Appendix B to Subpart A of 10 CFR Part 51). Chapter 5 of this regulatory guide discusses ways in which to identify new and significant information. The applicant may adopt the findings for the codified Category 1 issues if no new and significant
