NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket Nos. 50-341; NRC-2014-0109]
DTE Electric Company; Fermi 2 Nuclear Power Plant
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Draft supplemental environmental impact statement; issuance,
public meeting, and request for comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing for
public comment a draft plant-specific supplement, Supplement 56, to
NUREG-1437, ``Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License
Renewal of Nuclear Plants'' (GEIS), regarding the renewal of DTE
Electric Company (DTE) operating license NPF-43 for Fermi 2 for an
additional 20 years of operation. Possible alternatives to the proposed
action (license renewal) include no action and reasonable alternative
energy sources. The NRC staff plans to hold one public meeting during
the public comment period to present an overview of the draft plant-
specific supplements to the GEIS and to accept public comments on the
document.
DATES: Submit comments by December 28, 2015. Comments received after
this date will be considered, if it is practical to do so, but the NRC
staff is able to ensure consideration only for comments received on or
before this date.

II. Discussion
The NRC is issuing for public comment the draft plant-specific
Supplement 56 to the GEIS for license renewal of nuclear plants, NUREG-
1437, regarding the renewal of operating license, NPF-43 for an
additional 20 years of operation for Fermi 2. Supplement 56 to the GEIS
includes the preliminary analysis that evaluates the environmental
impacts of the proposed action and alternatives to the proposed action.
The NRC's preliminary recommendation is that the adverse environmental
impacts of license renewal for Fermi 2 are not great enough to deny the
option of license renewal for energy-planning decisionmakers.
III. Public Meetings
The NRC staff will hold a public meeting prior to the close of the
public comment period to present an overview of the draft plant-
specific supplement to the GEIS and to accept public comment on the
document. The meeting will be held at the Monroe County Community
College, La-Z-Boy-Center 1555 S. Raisinville Road, Monroe, Michigan on
Wednesday, December 2, 2015. There will be a registration period from
6:30 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. The meeting will start at 7:00 p.m. and
continue until 9:00 p.m., as necessary. The meeting 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. To be considered in the final
supplement to the GEIS, comments must be provided either at the
transcribed public meeting or submitted in writing by the comment
deadline identified in the DATES section of this notice. Persons may
pre-register to attend or present oral comments at the meeting by
contacting Ms. Elaine Keegan, the NRC project manager, at 1-800-368-
5642, extension 8517, or by email at [email protected] no later

register to provide oral comments during the registration period prior
to the meeting. 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. Keegan's
attention no later than Tuesday, November 24, 2015, in order to provide
the NRC staff with adequate notice to determine whether the request can
be accommodated. Additional details regarding the meeting will be
posted at least 10 days prior to the public meeting on the NRC's Public
Meeting Schedule Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/public-involve/public-meetings/index.cfm.
