Amergen Energy Company, LLC, Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, 
Unit 1; Notice of Availability of the Draft Supplement 37 to the 
Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear 
Plants, and Public Meeting for the License Renewal of Three Mile Island 
Nuclear Station, Unit 1

    Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
(NRC, Commission) has published a draft plant-specific supplement to 
the Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of 
Nuclear Plants (GEIS), NUREG-1437, regarding the renewal of operating 
license DPR-50 for an additional 20 years of operation for Three Mile 
Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1 (TMI-1). TMI-1 is located in Londonderry 
Township in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, on the northern end of Three 
Mile Island near the eastern shore of the Susquehanna River. Possible 
alternatives to the proposed action (license renewal) include no action 
and reasonable alternative energy sources.
    The draft Supplement 37 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 draft Supplement 37 to the 
GEIS is ML083250417. 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 
following three locations have agreed to make the draft supplement to 
the GEIS available for public inspection: Londonderry Township

    Any interested party may submit comments on the draft supplement to 
the GEIS for consideration by the NRC staff. To be considered, comments 
on the draft supplement to the GEIS and the proposed action must be 
received by March 4, 2009; the NRC staff is able to ensure 
consideration only for comments received on or before this date. 
Comments received after the due date will be considered only if it is 
practical to do so. Written comments on the draft supplement to the 
GEIS should be sent to: Chief, Rulemaking, Directives and Editing 
Branch, Division of Administrative Services, Office of Administration, 
Mailstop T-6D59, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC

    Comments may be hand-delivered to the NRC at 11545 Rockville Pike, 
Room T-6D59, Rockville, Maryland, between 7:30 a.m. and 4:15 p.m. on

Commission, including those made by Federal, State, local agencies, 
Native American Tribes, or other interested persons, will be made 
available electronically at the Commission's PDR in Rockville, 
Maryland, and through ADAMS. The NRC staff will hold public meetings to 
present an overview of the draft plant-specific supplement to the GEIS 
and to accept public comments on the document. The public meetings will 
be held on January 28, 2009, at The Elks Theatre, 4 West Emaus Street, 
Middletown, PA 17057. There will be two sessions to accommodate 
interested parties. The first session will convene at 1:30 p.m. and 
will continue until 4:30 p.m., as necessary. The second session will 
convene at 7 p.m. with a repeat of the overview portions of the 
afternoon meeting, and will continue until 10 p.m., as necessary. 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, comments must be provided either at the 
transcribed public meeting or in writing. Persons may pre-register to 
attend or present oral comments at the meeting by contacting Ms. Sarah 
Lopas, the NRC Environmental Project Manager at 1-800-368-5642, 
extension 1147, or by e-mail at [email protected], no later

to provide oral comments within 15 minutes of the start of each 
session. Individual, oral comments may be limited by the time 
available, depending on the number of persons who register. If special 
equipment or accommodations are needed to attend or present information 
at the public meeting, the need should be brought to Ms. Lopas' 
attention no later than January 14, 2009, to provide the NRC staff 
adequate notice to determine whether the request can be accommodated.
