NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Dominion Nuclear North Anna, LLC; Notice of Receipt and 
Availability of Application for Early Site Permit for the North Anna 
ESP Site

    On September 25, 2003, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, the

[[Page 59643]]

Commission) received an application from Dominion Nuclear North Anna, 
LLC dated September 25, 2003, filed pursuant to section 103 of the 
Atomic Energy Act and 10 CFR part 52, for an early site permit (ESP) 
for a location in central Virginia (near Mineral, Virginia) identified 
as the North Anna ESP site.
    An applicant may seek an early site permit in accordance with 
subpart A of 10 CFR part 52 separate from the filing of an application 
for a construction permit (CP) or combined license (COL) for a nuclear 
power facility. The ESP process allows resolution of issues relating to 
siting. At any time during the period of an ESP (up to 20 years), the 
permit holder may reference the permit in an application for a CP or 
COL.
    Subsequent Federal Register notices will address the acceptability 
of the tendered ESP application for docketing and provisions for 
participation of the public and other parties in the ESP review 
process.
    A copy of the application is available for public inspection at the 
Commission's Public Document Room (PDR), located at One White Flint 
North, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland and via 
the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Public 
Electronic Reading Room on the Internet at the NRC Web site, http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. The accession number for the 
application is ML032731517. Future publicly available documents related 
to the application will also be posted in ADAMS. Persons who do not 
have access to ADAMS or who encounter problems in accessing the 
documents located in ADAMS should contact the NRC Public Document Room 
staff by telephone at 1-800-397-4209 or 301-415-4737, or by e-mail to 
[email protected].
    The application is also available to local residents at the Louisa 
County Library, near Mineral, Virginia, and it will be available on the 
NRC Web page at http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/new-licensing/license-reviews/esp.html.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 9th day of October, 2003.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
