SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document corrects erroneous language to
the preamble and codified language of the final rule published on
October 9, 2007 (72 FR 57415). Also, as published, the final
regulations contain errors which may prove to be misleading and need to
be clarified. The following corrects the preamble to the October 9,
2007, document.
1. On page 57427, third column, in the first paragraph, the last
line is corrected to read as follows:
To ensure that the NRC has sufficient information to perform the
cumulative impacts analysis in a timely fashion, the final LWA rule
includes a requirement, in Sec. 51.45(c), for the environmental report
submitted by an applicant for an ESP, LWA, construction permit, or
combined license to include a description of impacts of the applicant's
preconstruction activities at the proposed site (i.e., the activities
listed in a paragraph (2)(i) through (2)(x) in the definition of
construction contained in Sec. 51.4), that are necessary to support
the construction and operation of the facility which is the subject of
the ESP, LWA, construction permit, or combined license application, and
an analysis of the cumulative impacts of the activities
[[Page 22787]]
to be authorized by the ESP, LWA, construction permit, or combined
license in light of the preconstruction impacts.
2. On page 57433, third column, the last paragraph is revised to
read as follows:
Section 51.4 is revised by adding a new definition of
``construction,'' which is identical to the definition of construction
in the revised Sec. 50.10. This makes applicable throughout part 51
the definition of construction in Sec. 50.10.
3. On page 57434, in the first column, the first paragraph is
removed.
4. On page 57434, in the first column, the paragraph under Sec.
51.45 is corrected to read as follows:
Paragraph (c) is revised by adding a new requirement requiring
environmental reports for ESPs, LWAs, construction permits, and
combined licenses to include a description of impacts of the
applicant's preconstruction activities at the proposed site (i.e., the
activities listed in paragraphs (2)(i) through (2)(x) in the definition
of ``construction'' contained in Sec. 51.4), that are necessary to
support the construction and operation of the facility which is the
subject of the ESP, LWA, construction permit, or combined license
application, and an analysis of the cumulative impacts of the
activities to be authorized by the ESP, LWA, construction permit, or
combined license in light of the preconstruction impacts.
