NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50-315 and 50-316]


Indiana Michigan Power Company Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant; 
Notice of Availability of the Draft Supplement 20 to the Generic 
Environmental Impact Statement and Public Meeting for the License 
Renewal of Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant, 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-58 and DPR-74 for an additional 
20 years of operation at Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 
(CNP). CNP is located in Berrien County, Michigan, about 55 miles east 
of Chicago, 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 Public Document Room (PDR) located at One White Flint North, 
11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland, 20852 or 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/adams.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 PDR reference staff at 1-800-397-4209, 301-
415-4737, or by e-mail to [email protected]. In addition, the Bridgman Public 
Library, 4460 Lake Street, Bridgman, Michigan and the Maud Preston 
Palenske Memorial Library, 500 Market Street, St. Joseph, Michigan have 
agreed to make the draft plant-specific 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 December 8, 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-6D59, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC, 
20555-0001.
    Comments may be hand-delivered to the NRC at 11545 Rockville Pike, 
Room T-6D59, 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-

    The NRC staff will hold two public meetings to present an overview 
of the draft plant-specific supplement to the GEIS and to accept public 
comments on the document. The public meetings will be held on November 
9, 2004, at the Lake Charter Township Hall, 3220 Shawnee Road, 
Bridgman, Michigan. The first session will convene at 1:30 p.m. and 
will continue until 4:30 p.m., as necessary. The second session will 
convene at 7 p.m. with a repeat of the overview portions of the meeting 
and will continue until 10 p.m., as necessary. 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 before the start of each meeting at 
the Lake Charter Township Hall. 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 
meetings or in writing, as discussed below. Persons may register to 
attend or present oral comments at the meetings by contacting Mr. 
Robert Schaaf, by telephone at 1-800-368-5642, extension 1312, or by e-

public may also register to speak at the meeting 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. 
Members of the public who have not registered may also have an 
opportunity to speak, if time permits. If special equipment or 
accommodations are needed to attend or present information at the 
public meeting, Mr. Schaaf will need to be contacted no later than 
November 1, 2004, so that the NRC staff can determine whether the 
request can be accommodated.
