    Please include Docket ID NRC-2009-0337 in the subject line of your 
comment submission, in order to ensure that the NRC is able to make 
your comment submission available to the public in this docket.

ADAMS. The NRC does not routinely edit comment submissions to remove

include identifying or contact information that they do not want to be

remove such information before making the comment submissions available

II. Background

    The NRC is issuing for public comment a draft environmental impact 
statement (EIS). The application submitted by FPL for COLs for Turkey 
Point Units 6 and 7 was submitted by letter dated June 30, 2009, 
pursuant to part 52 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations. A 
notice of receipt and availability of the application including the 
environmental report (ER) was published in the Federal Register on 
August 3, 2009 (74 FR 38477). A notice of acceptance for docketing of 
the application for the COL was published in the Federal Register on 
October 7, 2009 (74 FR 51621). A notice of intent to prepare a draft 
EIS and to conduct the scoping process was published in the Federal 
Register on June 15, 2010 (75 FR 33851). The draft EIS is a National 
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (NEPA) document that also 
supports the USACE's review of the Department of the Army (DA) permit 
application from FPL (SAJ-2009-02417). The USACE's Public Interest 
Review will be part of its Record of Decision and is not addressed in 
the EIS. As part of the USACE public comment process, the USACE will 
publish a public notice (in the Federal Register) within 30 days of the 
publication of the draft EIS to solicit comments from the public 
regarding FPL's DA permit application for proposed work at the Turkey 
Point site.

III. Public Meetings for Comment

    The NRC and the USACE will hold public meetings to present an 
overview of the draft EIS and to accept public comments on both the 
document and the associated DA permit in April 2015, in the Homestead, 
Florida area. A separate meeting notice will be issued as soon as the 
meeting dates are set. The meetings will be transcribed and will 
include: (1) A presentation of the contents of the draft EIS; and (2) 
the opportunity for interested government agencies, organizations, and 
individuals to provide comments on the draft report. For comments 
provided at the public meeting to be considered, they must be provided 
during the transcribed public meeting either orally or in writing. 
Additionally, the NRC and the USACE will host informal discussions one 
hour before the start of each meeting, during which time members of the 
public may meet and talk with staff members on an informal basis. No 
formal comments on the draft EIS will be accepted during the informal 
discussions.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 24th day of February 2015.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
