NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Notice of Intent To Prepare a Draft Supplement to the Generic
Environmental Impact Statement on Decommissioning of Nuclear Facilities
and To Hold a Public Meeting for the Purpose of Scoping and To Solicit
Public Input Into the Process

    Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC, the Commission) intends to prepare a draft supplement to the
Final Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS) on Decommissioning
of Nuclear

[[Page 34742]]

Facilities (NUREG-0586, August 1988) and to hold public scoping
meetings for the purpose of soliciting comments. Although NUREG-0586
covered all NRC-licensed facilities, this supplement will address only
the decommissioning of nuclear power reactors.
    The NRC will hold public scoping meetings on June 13, 2000, at the
Doubletree Guest Suites, Atlanta-Perimeter, 6120 Peachtree Dunwoody
Road, Atlanta, Georgia 30328 (telephone: 770-668-0808), and on June 21,
2000, at the Ramada Plaza Hotel, 1231 Market Street, San Francisco,
California 94103 (telephone: 415-626-8000) to present an overview of
the proposed supplement to the GEIS and to accept public comment on its
proposal. The public scoping meetings will begin at 7 p.m. and continue
to 10 p.m.
    The meeting will be transcribed and will include (1) a presentation
by the NRC staff on the reasons for preparing a supplement to the GEIS
and the environmental issues related to power reactor decommissioning
to be addressed in the GEIS, and (2) the opportunity for interested
government agencies, private organizations, and individuals to provide
comments. Anyone wishing to attend or present oral comments at this
meeting may preregister by contacting Mr. Dino C. Scaletti by telephone
at 1-800-368-5642, extension 1104, or by Internet to the NRC at
DGEIS@nrc.gov, 1 week prior to a specific meeting. Members of the
public may also register to provide oral comments up to 15 minutes
prior to the start of each meeting. Individual oral comments may be
limited by the time available, depending on the number of persons who
register. If special equipment or accommodations are needed to attend
or present information at the public meeting, the need should be
brought to Mr. Scaletti's attention no later than 1 week prior to a
specific meeting, so that the NRC staff can determine whether the
request can be accommodated.
    Any interested party may submit comments related to the NRC's
intent to supplement the GEIS for consideration by the NRC staff. To be
certain of consideration, comments on the intent to prepare the
supplement must be received by July 15, 2000. Comments received after
the due date will be considered if it is practical to do so. At this
time, comments are being sought only on the intent to prepare the
supplement. The NRC staff currently projects issuance of the draft
supplement for comment in early 2001. Comments on the draft supplement
will be solicited at that time. Written comments should be sent to:
Chief, Rules and Directives Branch, Division of Administrative
Services, Mail Stop T-6 D59, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
Washington, DC 20555-0001.
    Comments may be hand-delivered to the NRC at 11545 Rockville Pike,
Rockville, Maryland, between 7:45 a.m. and 4:15 p.m. on Federal
workdays. Submittal of electronic comments may be sent by the Internet
to the NRC at DGEIS@nrc.gov. All comments received by the Commission,
including those made by Federal, State, and local agencies, Indian
tribes, or other interested persons, will be made available for public
inspection at the Commission's Public Document Room, 2120 L Street,
NW., in Washington, DC. Also, publicly available records will be
accessible electronically from the ADAMS Public Library component on
the NRC Web site, http://www.nrc.gov (the Public Electronic Reading
Room).
