the renewal of operating licenses DPR-31 and DPR-41 for an additional 
20 years of operation at Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 (Turkey Point). 
Turkey Point is located in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Possible 
alternatives to the proposed action (license renewal) include no action 
and reasonable alternative energy sources.
    The draft supplement to the GEIS is available electronically for

Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland, 
or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's 
document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at 
http://www.nrc.gov/NRC/ADAMS/index.html (the Public Electronic Reading 
Room). In addition, the Homestead Branch Library, located at 700 North 
Homestead Boulevard, Homestead, Florida, has agreed to make the draft 
supplement to the GEIS available for public inspection.
    Any interested party may submit comments on the draft supplement to 
the GEIS for consideration by the NRC staff. To be certain of 
consideration, comments on the draft supplement to the GEIS and the 
proposed action must be received by August 6, 2001. Comments received 
after the due date will be considered if it is practical to do so, but

received on or before this date. Written comments on the draft 
supplement to the GEIS should be sent to: Chief, Rules and Directives 
Branch, Division of Administrative Services, Office of Administration, 
Mailstop T-6D 59, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C.

electronically at the Commission's Public Document Room in Rockville, 
Maryland or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of 
NRC's document system (ADAMS).
    The NRC staff will hold a public meeting to present an overview of
