Exelon Generation Company, LLC; Peach Bottom Atomic Power 
Station, Units 2 and 3

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

meeting and request for comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing for 
public comment draft plant-specific Supplement 10, Second Renewal, to 
the Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS) for License Renewal 
of Nuclear Plants, NUREG-1437, regarding the subsequent renewal of 
Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-44 and DPR-56 for an additional 20 
years of operation for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3 
(Peach Bottom). The Peach Bottom facility is located in York County, 
Pennsylvania. Possible alternatives to the proposed action (subsequent 
license renewal) include no action and reasonable replacement power 
alternatives. The NRC staff will hold a public meeting to present an 
overview of the draft plant-specific supplement to the GEIS and to 
accept public comment on the document.

DATES: The public meeting will be held on September 12, 2019, from 6:00 
p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Peach Bottom Inn, 6085 Delta Road, Delta, PA 
17314. Submit either electronic or written comments by September 23, 
2019. Comments received after this date will be considered, if it is 
practical to do so, but the NRC is able to ensure consideration only 
for comments received on or before this date.

II. Discussion

    The NRC is issuing for public comment draft plant-specific 
Supplement 10, Second Renewal, to the GEIS for License Renewal of 
Nuclear Plants, NUREG-1437, regarding the subsequent renewal of 
Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-44 and DPR-56 for an additional 20 
years of operation for Peach Bottom Units 2 and 3. Draft plant-specific 
Supplement 10, Second Renewal, 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 subsequent 
license renewal for Peach Bottom are not so great that preserving the 
option of subsequent license renewal for energy-planning decisionmakers 
would be unreasonable.

III. Public Meeting

    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 on September 12, 2019, from 6:00 
p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Peach Bottom Inn, 6085 Delta Road, Delta, PA 
17314. There will be an open house one hour before the meeting for 
members of the public to meet with NRC staff members and sign in to 
speak. 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 plant-
specific supplement to the GEIS. 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 above. Persons may pre-register to attend or 
present oral comments at the meeting by contacting Mr. David Drucker, 
the NRC Project Manager, at 301-415-6223, or by email at 
[email protected] no later than Thursday, August 29, 2019. Members 
of the public may also register to provide oral comments within 15 
minutes before the start of 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 Mr. Drucker's attention no later than Thursday, August 29, 
2019, to provide the NRC staff adequate notice to determine whether the 
request can be accommodated.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 1st day of August, 2019.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Eric R. Oesterle,
Chief, License Renewal Projects Branch, Division of Materials and 
License Renewal, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
