commissioning activities. The PSDAR must contain a discussion whether the site-specific environmental impacts of the proposed decommissioning activities will be bounded by appropriate federally issued environmental review documents, such as (1) the final environmental statement (FES) for the plant’s construction permit or operating license (as supplemented), (2) the environmental impact statement (EIS) for a combined operating license, (3) NUREG-0586, Supplement 1, “Generic Environmental Impact Statement [GEIS] on Decommissioning of Nuclear Facilities Regarding the Decommissioning of Nuclear Power Reactors,” issued November 2002 (Ref. 18) (the Decommissioning GEIS) and NUREG-1496, “Generic Environmental Impact Statement in Support of Rulemaking on Radiological Criteria for License Termination of NRC-Licensed Nuclear Facilities,” issued July 1997 (Ref. 19), (4) supplemental EISs for license renewal or subsequent license renewal, (5) site-specific environmental assessments for extended power uprates or other license amendments, (6) Programmatic Agreements developed during consultations under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1996, as amended (NHPA) (54 United States Code (U.S.C.) 300101 et seq.) (Ref.20), and (7) Biological Assessments or Biological Opinions issued as part of Section 7 consultations under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) (Ref. 21). The report must describe any decommissioning activities whose environmental impacts will not be so bounded and that will be evaluated prior to the performance of the activities. The report must also include a site-specific decommissioning cost estimate. Once the NRC receives the PSDAR, it will docket the report and publish a notice of receipt in the Federal Register to solicit comments from the public on the PSDAR in accordance with 10 CFR 50.82(a)(4)(ii) and 10 CFR 52.110(d)(2).
