Exelon Generation Company, LLC, Quad Cities Nuclear Power 
Station, Units 1 and 2; Notice of Availability of Draft Supplement 16 
to Generic Environmental Impact Statement and Public Meeting for the 
License Renewal of Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2

    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 licenses DPR-29 and DPR-30 for an additional 
20 years of operation at Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station (QCNPS).

[[Page 64373]]

QCNPS is located in Rock Island County, Illinois, approximately 4 miles 
north of Cordova, Illinois. 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 Cordova District Library, 402 Main Avenue, Cordova, Illinois; the 
River Valley Library, 214 South Main Street, Port Byron, Illinois; and 
the Davenport Public Library, 321 Main Street, Davenport, Iowa, 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 January 27, 2004. 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 December 
16, 2003, at The Mark of the Quad Cities, 1201 River Drive, Moline, 
Illinois. There will be two sessions to accommodate interested parties. 
The first session will commence at 1:30 p.m. and will continue until 
4:30 p.m. The second session will commence 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 present oral comments at the meeting by 
contacting Mr. Louis L. Wheeler by telephone at 1-800-368-5642, 
extension 1444, or by e-mail at [email protected] no later than December 10, 
2003. Members of the public may also 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. Wheeler's attention no later than December 10, 
2003, to provide the NRC staff adequate notice to determine whether the 
request can be accommodated.
