Rochester Gas and Electric Corp., R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant; 
Notice of Availability of Draft Supplement 14 to Generic Environmental 
Impact Statement and Public Meeting for the License Renewal of R.E. 
Ginna Nuclear Power Plant

    Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
(the Commission) has published a draft plant-specific supplement to the 
Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS), NUREG-1437, regarding 
the renewal of operating license DPR-18 for an additional 20 years of 
operation at R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant (Ginna). Ginna is located 
in Wayne County, New York, approximately 20 miles east of Rochester, 
New York. Possible alternatives to the proposed action (license 
renewal) include no action and reasonable alternative energy sources.
    The draft supplement to the GEIS is available for public inspection 
in the NRC's Public Document Room (PDR) located at One White Flint 
North, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland, or, 
electronically, from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of 
NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS 
is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room). Persons who do not have 
access to ADAMS or who encounter problems in accessing the documents 
located in ADAMS, should contact the NRC's PDR reference staff at 1-
800-397-4209 or 301-415-4737, or by e-mail to [email protected]. In addition, 
the Ontario Public Library, located at 1850 Ridge Road, Ontario, New 
York, and the Rochester Public Library, located at 115 South Avenue, 
Rochester, New York, have 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 September 16, 2003. Comments 
received after the due date will be considered if it is practical to do 
so, but the NRC staff is able to assure consideration only for comments 
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, 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. Electronic comments may be submitted to the NRC by e-mail at 
[email protected]. All comments received by the Commission, including 
those made by Federal, State, and local agencies, Native American 
Tribes, or other interested persons, will be made available 
electronically at the Commission's PDR in Rockville, Maryland, and from 
the PARS component of ADAMS.
    The NRC staff will hold a public meeting to present an overview of 
the draft plant-specific supplement to the

GEIS and to accept public comments on the document. The public meeting 
will be held on August 7, 2003, at the Ontario Fireman's Exempt Hall, 
1840 Route 104, Ontario, New York. There will be two sessions to 
accommodate interested parties. The first session will commence at 1:30

at 7 p.m. and will continue until 10 p.m. Both meetings will be 
transcribed and will include (1) a presentation of the contents of the 
draft plant-specific supplement to the GEIS, and (2) the opportunity 
for interested government agencies, organizations, and individuals to 
provide comments on the draft report. Additionally, the NRC staff will 
host informal discussions one hour prior to the start of each session 
at the same location. No comments on the draft supplement to the GEIS 
will be accepted during the informal discussions. To be considered, 
comments must be provided either at the transcribed public meeting or 
in writing, as discussed below. Persons may pre-register to attend or

by telephone at 1-800-368-5642, extension 1312, or by e-mail at

register to provide oral comments within 15 minutes of the start of 
each session. 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. Schaaf's 
attention no later than July 30, 2003, to provide the NRC staff 
adequate notice to determine whether the request can be accommodated.
