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

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-

Library, 4460 Lake Street, Bridgman, Michigan and the Maud Preston

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,

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,

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

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
