NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-400]


Carolina Power and Light Company; Notice of Availability of the 
Final Supplement 33 to the Generic Environmental Impact Statement for 
License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, Regarding the License Renewal of 
Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1

    Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
(NRC, 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 
license NPF-063 for an additional 20 years of operation for the Shearon 
Harris Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1 (HNP). HNP is located in Wake 
County, North Carolina. 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 33, based on: 
(1) The analysis and findings in the GEIS; (2) the Environmental Report 
submitted by Carolina Power and Light Company; (3) consultation with 
federal, state, and local agencies; (4) the NRC staff's own independent 
review; and (5) the NRC 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 HNP are not so 
great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy-planning 
decision makers would be unreasonable.
    The final Supplement 33 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 33 to the 
GEIS is ML082250290. 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 West 
Regional Library, located at 4000 Louis Stephens Dr., Cary, NC 27519 as 
well as the Eva H. Perry Library, located at 2100 Shepherd's Vineyard 
Dr., Apex, NC 27502, have agreed to make the final Supplement 33 to the 
GEIS available for public inspection.
