Content:
§ 51.72 Supplement to draft environmental impact statement. ( a ) The NRC staff will prepare a supplement to a draft environmental impact statement for which a notice of availability has been published in the Federal Register as provided in § 51.117 , if: ( 1 ) There are substantial changes in the proposed action that are relevant to environmental concerns; or ( 2 ) There are significant new circumstances or information relevant to environmental concerns and bearing on the proposed action or its impacts. ( b ) The NRC staff may prepare a supplement to a draft environmental impact statement when, in its opinion, preparation of a supplement will further the purposes of NEPA. ( c ) The supplement to a draft environmental impact statement will be prepared and noticed in the same manner as the draft environmental impact statement except that a scoping process need not be used.
