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

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

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.
