NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50-220 and 50-410]


Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, LLC; Nine Mile Point Nuclear 
Station, Units 1 and 2; Notice of Availability of the Final Supplement 
24 to the Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of 
Nuclear Plants, Regarding the License Renewal of Nine Mile Point 
Nuclear Station

    Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
(NRC, or the Commission) has published a final plant-specific 
supplement to the ``Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License 
Renewal of Nuclear Plants (GEIS),'' NUREG-1437, regarding the renewal 
of operating licenses DPR-63 and NPF-69 for an additional 20 years of 
operation for the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2 (Nine 
Mile Point). Nine Mile Point is located in northern New York on the 
shore of Lake Ontario, approximately five miles northeast of Oswego, 
New York, 36 miles north-northwest of Syracuse, New York, and 65 miles 
east of Rochester, New York. Possible alternatives to the proposed 
action (license renewal) include no action and reasonable alternative 
energy sources.
    As discussed in Section 9.3 of the final Supplement 24, based on: 
(1) The analysis and findings in the GEIS; (2) the Environmental Report 
submitted by Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, LLC; (3) consultation 
with Federal, State, and local agencies; (4) the staff's own 
independent review; and (5) the staff's consideration of public 
comments, the recommendation of the staff is that the Commission 
determine that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for 
Nine Mile Point are not so great that preserving the option of license 
renewal for energy-planning decision makers would be unreasonable.
    The final Supplement 24 to the GEIS is publicly available at the 
NRC Public Document Room (PDR), located at One White Flint North, 11555 
Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland, 20852, or from the NRC's 
Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). The ADAMS 
Public Electronic Reading Room is accessible at http://adamswebsearch.nrc.gov/dologin.htm. The Accession Number for the final 
Supplement 24 to the GEIS is ML061290310. 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 by 
telephone at 1-800-397-4209, or 301-415-4737,

or by e-mail at [email protected]. In addition, the Penfield Library, located 
at State University of New York, Oswego, New York, 13126, has agreed to 
make the final Supplement 24 to the GEIS available for public 
inspection.
