Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 19 / Monday, February 1, 2021 / Notices fulfill the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 54 U.S.C. 300101, et seq. NHPA.
Therefore, pursuant to 36 CFR 800.8c, the NRC intends to use its process and documentation required for the preparation of the EIS on the proposed action to comply with Section 106 of the NHPA in lieu of the procedures set forth at 36 CFR 800.3 through 800.6.
In accordance with 10 CFR 51.53c and 10 CFR 54.23, NextEra submitted an environmental report ER as part of the SLR application. The ER was prepared pursuant to 10 CFR part 51 and is publicly available at ADAMS Accession No. ML20329A248. The ER will also be available for viewing at https
www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/
licensing/renewal/subsequent-licenserenewal.html. In addition, the SLR
application, including the ER, is available for public review on the website of the Lester Public Library at http www.lesterlibrary.org/.
The NRC intends to gather the information necessary to prepare a plant-specific supplement to NUREG
1437, Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants ADAMS Package Accession No. ML13107A023 GEIS, related to the SLR application for Point Beach. The NRC is required by 10 CFR
51.95 to prepare a plant-specific supplement to the GEIS in connection with the renewal of an operating license. This notice is being published in accordance with NEPA and the NRCs regulations at 10 CFR part 51.
The supplement to the GEIS will evaluate the environmental impacts of subsequent license renewal for Point Beach, and reasonable alternatives thereto. Possible alternatives to the proposed action include the no action alternative and reasonable alternative energy sources.
As part of its environmental review, the NRC will first conduct a scoping process for the plant-specific supplement to the GEIS and, as soon as practicable thereafter, will prepare a draft supplement to the GEIS for public comment. Participation in this scoping process by members of the public and local, State, Tribal, and Federal government agencies is encouraged. The scoping process for the supplement to the GEIS will be used to accomplish the following:
a. Define the proposed action that is to be the subject of the supplement to the GEIS;
b. Determine the scope of the supplement to the GEIS and identify the significant issues to be analyzed in depth;

c. Identify and eliminate from detailed study those issues that are peripheral or are not significant or that have been covered by prior environmental review;
d. Identify any environmental assessments and other ElSs that are being or will be prepared that are related to, but are not part of, the scope of the supplement to the GEIS under consideration;
e. Identify other environmental review and consultation requirements related to the proposed action;
f. Indicate the relationship between the timing of the preparation of the environmental analyses and the NRCs tentative planning and decision-making schedule;
g. Identify any cooperating agencies and, as appropriate, allocate assignments for preparation and schedules for completing the supplement to the GEIS to the NRC and any cooperating agencies; and h. Describe how the supplement to the GEIS will be prepared, including any contractor assistance to be used.
The NRC invites the following entities to participate in scoping:
a. The applicant, NextEra;
b. Any Federal agency that has jurisdiction by law or special expertise with respect to any environmental impact involved or that is authorized to develop and enforce relevant environmental standards;
c. Affected State and local government agencies, including those authorized to develop and enforce relevant environmental standards;
d. Any affected Indian Tribe;
e. Any person who requests or has requested an opportunity to participate in the scoping process; and f. Any person who has petitioned or intends to petition for leave to intervene under 10 CFR 2.309.
IV. Public Scoping Meeting In accordance with 10 CFR 51.26b, the scoping process for an EIS may include a public scoping meeting to help identify significant issues related to the proposed action and to determine the scope of issues to be addressed in the EIS.
The NRC is announcing that it will hold a public scoping meeting as an online webinar for the Point Beach subsequent license renewal supplement to the GEIS. The webinar will include a telephone line for members of the public to provide comments. A court reporter will transcribe all comments received during the webinar. To be considered, comments must be provided either at the transcribed public meeting or in writing, as discussed in the
