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,

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, comments must be provided either at the
transcribed public meeting or in writing. Persons may pre-register to
