ACTION: Draft supplement to environmental impact statements; extension of comment period, public meeting, and correction. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: On August 21, 2015, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requested public comment on NUREG-2184, the NRC staff's draft ``Supplement to the U.S. Department of Energy's Environmental Impact Statement for a Geologic Repository for the Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and High-Level Radioactive Waste at Yucca Mountain, Nye County, Nevada'' (draft supplement). The public comment period was originally scheduled to close on October 20, 2015. The NRC staff has decided to extend the public comment period to allow more time for members of the public to develop and submit their comments. The NRC is also correcting its August 21, 2015, notice to correct a meeting date and Web site link. DATES: The due date for comments on the draft supplement is extended. Comments should be filed no later than November 20, 2015. Comments received after this date will be considered, if it is practical to do so, but the Commission is able to ensure consideration only for comments received on or before this date. The correction is effective September 18, 2015. The NRC will hold a public meeting via teleconference to accept comments on the draft supplement on November 12, 2015, in addition to the teleconference being held on October 15, 2015.

Submitting Comments Please include Docket ID NRC-2015-0051 in your comment submission. The NRC cautions you not to include identifying or contact information that you do not want to be publicly disclosed in your comment submission. The NRC will post all comment submissions at http://www.regulations.gov as well as enter the comment submissions into ADAMS. The NRC does not routinely edit comment submissions to remove identifying or contact information. If you are requesting or aggregating comments from other persons for submission to the NRC, then you should inform those persons not to include identifying or contact information that they do not want to be publicly disclosed in their comment submission.

II. Discussion A. Comment Period Extension On August 21, 2015 (80 FR 50875), the NRC requested public comments on NUREG-2184, the NRC staff's draft ``Supplement to the U.S. Department of Energy's Environmental Impact Statement for a Geologic Repository for the Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and High-Level Radioactive Waste at Yucca Mountain, Nye County, Nevada'' (ADAMS Accession No. ML15223B243). The supplement evaluates the potential environmental impacts on groundwater and impacts associated with the discharge of any contaminated groundwater to the ground surface due to potential releases from a geologic repository for spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste at Yucca Mountain, Nye County, Nevada. This supplements the U.S. Department of Energy's 2002 ``Final Environmental Impact Statement for a Geologic Repository for the Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and High-Level Radioactive Waste at Yucca Mountain, Nye County, Nevada'' (ADAMS Accession No. ML032690321), and 2008 ``Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for a Geologic Repository for the Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and High- Level Radioactive Waste at Yucca Mountain, Nye County, Nevada'' (ADAMS Accession No. ML081750191), in accordance with the findings and scope outlined in the NRC staff's 2008 ``Adoption Determination Report for the U.S. Department of Energy's Environmental Impact Statements for the Proposed Geologic Repository at Yucca Mountain'' (ADAMS Accession No. ML082420342). The public comment period was originally scheduled to close on October 20, 2015. The NRC received requests to extend the public comment period (e.g., ADAMS Accession Nos. ML15253A864 and ML15253A874) and the NRC staff has decided to extend the public comment period on the draft supplement until November 20, 2015, to allow more time for members of the public to develop and submit their comments. B. Corrections In the Federal Register on August 21, 2015, in FR Doc. 2015-20638, on page 50877, at the bottom of the second column, in the last two sentences of the notice, which (1) discuss how to obtain telephone numbers to participate in conference calls, and (2) provide the Web site link to obtain public meeting document information, correct ``To receive the teleconference number and passcode for the September 3 meeting or for the October 6 conference call, call 301-415-6789 or email YMEIS_Supplement@nrc.gov. Meeting agendas and participation details will be available on the NRC's Public Meeting Schedule Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/publicinvolve/publicmeetings/index.cfm no later than 10 days prior to the meetings'' to read ``To receive the teleconference number and passcode for the September 3 meeting or for the October 15 conference call, call 301-415-6789 or email YMEIS_Supplement@nrc.gov. Meeting agendas and participation details will be available on the NRC's Public Meeting Schedule Web site at http://meetings.nrc.gov/pmns/mtg no later than 10 days prior to the meetings.'' III. Public Meetings In addition to the public meetings announced previously, the NRC staff will hold another public meeting via teleconference to accept comments on the draft supplement on November 12, 2015, from 2:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The telephone number for this teleconference is 888-790-2936 and the passcode is 1715992. The same number and passcode should be used for the October 15, 2015, teleconference that was previously announced (see meeting information at http://meetings.nrc.gov/pmns/mtg). This public teleconference will be transcribed. Persons interested in attending or presenting oral comments during this teleconference are encouraged to pre-register. Persons may pre-register to attend or present oral comments by calling 301-415-6789 or by emailing YMEIS_Supplement@nrc.gov no later than 3 days 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 a public meeting, the need should be brought to the NRC's attention no later than 10 days prior to the meeting to provide the NRC staff adequate notice to determine whether the request can be accommodated. The teleconference agenda and participation details will be available on the NRC's Public Meeting Schedule Web site at http://meetings.nrc.gov/pmns/mtg no later than 10 days prior to the meeting.
