NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 52-038; NRC-2008-0581]


Nine Mile Point 3 Nuclear Project, LLC and Unistar Nuclear 
Operating Services, LLC; Nine Mile Point 3 Nuclear Power Plant Combined 
License Application; Notice of Cancellation of Environmental Scoping 
Process and Public Scoping Meeting

    Nine Mile Point 3 Nuclear Project, LLC and Unistar Nuclear 
Operating Services, LLC have submitted an application for a combined 
license (COL) to build Nine Mile Point Unit 3 (NMP3), located on 
approximately 921 acres in Oswego County, New York on Lake Ontario, 
approximately five miles north-northeast of Oswego, New York. Nine Mile 
Point 3 Nuclear Project, LLC and Unistar Nuclear Operating Services, 
LLC submitted the application for the COL to the U.S. Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission (NRC) on September 30, 2008, pursuant to Title 10 
of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 52.
    A notice of intent to prepare an environmental impact statement and 
conduct scoping process was published in the Federal Register on 
January 30, 2009 (74 FR 5688-5689). On February 9, 2009, Unistar 
submitted a letter to the NRC requesting that the NRC consider 
Unistar's interest in maintaining some

schedule spacing between the NRC's review of the Calvert Cliffs Unit 3 
and NMP3 COL applications. Specifically, Unistar requested that 
portions of the NMP3 COL review be sequenced to occur in September 
2009.
    In considering Unistar's request, the NRC believes that a shift in 
the NMP3 environmental scoping period will preserve the NRC's overall 
environmental review process and sequencing of activities. Therefore, 
the NRC has chosen to cancel the current environmental scoping process 
and the associated February 25, 2009 scoping meetings for this 
application. Both activities will be rescheduled to start in mid-2009. 
The purpose of this notice is to inform the public that the NRC has 
cancelled the current scoping process and the associated scoping 
meetings for this application.
    Questions about this cancellation should be directed to Mr. Paul 
Michalak at 301-415-7612 or via e-mail at [email protected].

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 11th day of February 2009.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Acting Division Director, Division of Site and Environmental Reviews, 
Office of New Reactors.
