    Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission

application for the COLs was submitted by letter dated March 31, 2008 
pursuant to 10 CFR part 52. A notice of receipt and availability of the 
application, which included the environmental report (ER), was 
published in the Federal Register on May 5, 2008 (73 FR 24616). A 
notice of acceptance for docketing of the application for the COL was 
published in the Federal Register on June 11, 2008 (73 FR 33118).
    The purpose of this notice is to inform the public that NUREG-1947, 
``Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for Combined 
Licenses (COLs) for Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Units 3 and 4,'' 
is available for public inspection in the NRC Public Documents Room 
(PDR) located at One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike (first 
floor), Rockville, Maryland 20852 or from the Publicly Available 
Records (PARS) component of NRC Agency-wide Documents Access and 
Management System (ADAMS) and will also be placed directly on the NRC 
Web site at http://www.nrc.gov. ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web 
site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic 
Reading Room). The ADAMS accession number for the DSEIS is ML102370278. 
Persons who do not have access to ADAMS or who encounter problems in 
accessing the documents located in ADAMS should contact the PDR 
reference staff at 1-800-397-4209, 301-415-4737, or by e-mail to 
[email protected]. In addition, the Burke County Library, 130 
Highway 24 South, Waynesboro, GA, has agreed to make the DSEIS 
available for public inspection.
    The NRC staff will hold a public meeting to present an overview of 
the DSEIS and to accept public comments on the document. The public 
meeting will be held at the Augusta Technical College, Waynesboro 
Campus Auditorium, 216 Hwy 24 South, Waynesboro, GA on Thursday, 
October 7, 2010. The meeting will convene at 7 p.m. and will continue 
until 10 p.m., as necessary. The meeting will be transcribed and will 
include: (1) A presentation of the contents of the DSEIS and (2) an 
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 before the start of 
the meeting. No formal comments on the DSEIS will be accepted by the 
NRC staff during the informal discussions. To be considered, comments 
must be provided either during the transcribed portion of the meeting 
or in writing. Comments will not be edited to remove any identifying or 
contact information, therefore, the NRC cautions against including any 
information that should not be publicly disclosed. The NRC requests 
that any party soliciting or aggregating comments received from other 
persons for submission to the NRC inform those persons that the NRC 
will not edit comments or remove any identifying or contact 
information, and therefore, they should not include any information in 
their comments that they do not want publicly disclosed.
    Persons may register to attend or present oral comments at the 
meeting by contacting Ms. Mallecia Sutton by telephone at 1-800-368-
5642, extension 0673 or via Internet to the NRC at

the public may also register to speak at the meeting within 15 minutes
