Units 2 and 3; Notice of Availability of the Draft Supplement 22 to the

    Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
(NRC, 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-65 and NPF-49 for the 
Millstone Power Station (MPS) Units 2 and 3, for an additional 20 years 
of operation. MPS is located in Waterford, Connecticut, on Millstone 
Point between the Niantic and Thames Rivers, approximately 40 miles to

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, 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. (Note: Public access 
to ADAMS has been temporarily suspended so that security reviews of 
publically available documents may be performed and potentially

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 March 2, 2005. 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,

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

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,
