II. Discussion

    By letter dated January 30, 2018, as supplemented by letters dated 
February 9, 2018; February 16, 2018; March 1, 2018; and April 10, 2018; 
Florida Power & Light Company submitted to the NRC an application for 
subsequent license renewal of Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-31 
and DPR-41 for an additional 20 years of operation at Turkey Point 
Units 3 and 4. Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 are located on Biscayne Bay 
in Miami-Dade County, Florida. The current renewed operating license 
for Unit 3 expires at midnight on July 19, 2032, and the current 
renewed operating license for Unit 4 expires at midnight on April 10, 
2033. The application for subsequent license renewal was submitted 
pursuant to part 54 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 
CFR) and included an environmental report (ER), also supplemented. A 
separate notice of receipt and availability of the application was 
published in the Federal Register on April 18, 2018 (83 FR 17196). A 
notice of acceptance for docketing of the supplemented application and 
opportunity for hearing regarding subsequent license renewal of the 
facility operating licenses was published in the Federal Register on 
May 2, 2018 (83 FR 19304).

III. Request for Comments

    This notice informs the public of the NRC's intention to prepare an 
EIS related to the subsequent license renewal application and to 
provide the public an opportunity to participate in the environmental 
scoping process, as defined in 10 CFR 51.29.
    The regulations in 36 CFR 800.8, ``Coordination with the National 
Environmental Policy Act,'' allows agencies to use their National 
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) process to fulfill the 
requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act 
(NHPA). Therefore, pursuant to 36 CFR 800.8(c), the NRC intends to use 
its process and documentation for the preparation of the EIS on the 
proposed action to comply with Section 106 of the NHPA in lieu of the 
procedures set forth at 36 CFR 800.3 through 800.6.
    In accordance with 10 CFR 51.53(c) and 10 CFR 54.23, Florida Power 
& Light Company submitted the ER as part of the subsequent license 
renewal application. To complete the acceptance review, the applicant 
provided supplemental information to support the staff's detailed 
technical review of the proposed action (subsequent license renewal). 
The ER and supplemental information were prepared pursuant to 10 CFR 
51.53(c), and are publicly available in ADAMS under Accession Nos. 
ML18037A836 and ML18102A521, respectively. The ER may also be viewed on 
the internet at https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/licensing/renewal/subsequent-license-renewal.html. In addition, a paper copy of 
the subsequent license renewal application, including the ER, is 
available to the public near the site at the following locations: 
Homestead Branch Library, 700 N. Homestead Blvd., Homestead, FL 33030; 
Naranja Branch Library, 14850 SW 280th St., Homestead, FL 33032; South 
Dade Regional Library, 10750 SW 211th St., Miami, FL 33189; and 
Downtown Miami Branch, 101 West Flagler St., Miami, FL 33130.
    The NRC intends to gather the information necessary to prepare a 
plant-specific supplement to the NRC's ``Generic Environmental Impact 
Statement (GEIS) for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants'' (NUREG-1437), 
related to the application for subsequent license renewal of the Turkey 
Point operating licenses for an additional 20 years beyond the period 
specified in each of the current renewed licenses.
    Possible alternatives to the proposed action include the no action 
alternative and reasonable alternative energy sources. The NRC is 
required by 10 CFR 51.95 to prepare a supplement to the GEIS in 
connection with the renewal of an operating license. This notice is 
being published in accordance with NEPA and the NRC's regulations found 
at 10 CFR part 51.
    The NRC will first conduct scoping for the supplement to the GEIS 
and, as soon as practicable thereafter, will prepare a draft supplement 
to the GEIS for public comment. Participation in the scoping process by 
members of the public and local, State, Tribal, and Federal government 
agencies is encouraged. The scoping process for the supplement to the 
GEIS will be used to accomplish the following:

[[Page 23728]]

    a. Define the proposed action, which is to be the subject of the 
supplement to the GEIS;
    b. Determine the scope of the supplement to the GEIS and identify 
the significant issues to be analyzed in depth;
    c. Identify and eliminate from detailed study those issues that are 
peripheral or are not significant; or were covered by a prior 
environmental review;
    d. Identify any environmental assessments and other EISs that are 
being or will be prepared that are related to, but are not part of, the 
scope of the supplement to the GEIS being considered;
    e. Identify other environmental review and consultation 
requirements related to the proposed action;
    f. Indicate the relationship between the timing of the preparation 
of the environmental analyses and the Commission's tentative planning 
and decisionmaking schedule;
    g. Identify any cooperating agencies and, as appropriate, allocate 
assignments for preparation and schedules for completing the supplement 
to the GEIS to the NRC and any cooperating agencies; and
    h. Describe how the supplement to the GEIS will be prepared, 
including any contractor assistance to be used.
    The NRC invites the following entities to participate in scoping:
    a. The applicant, Florida Power & Light Company;
    b. Any Federal agency that has jurisdiction by law or special 
expertise with respect to any environmental impact involved or that is 
authorized to develop and enforce relevant environmental standards;
    c. Affected State and local government agencies, including those 
authorized to develop and enforce relevant environmental standards;
    d. Any affected Indian Tribe;
    e. Any person who requests or has requested an opportunity to 
participate in the scoping process; and
    f. Any person who has petitioned or intends to petition for leave 
to intervene.

IV. Public Scoping Meeting

    In accordance with 10 CFR 51.26, the scoping process for an EIS may 
include a public scoping meeting to help identify significant issues 
related to a proposed activity and to determine the scope of issues to 
be addressed in an EIS. The NRC will hold two public meetings for the 
Turkey Point license renewal supplement to the GEIS. The scoping 
meetings will be held on May 31, 2018. The meetings will be held from 
1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. and from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the City of 
Homestead City Hall, 100 Civic Court, Homestead, FL 33030. There will 
be an open house one hour before each session for members of the public 
to meet with NRC staff and sign in to speak.
    The meeting will be transcribed and will include: (1) An overview 
by the NRC staff of the NEPA environmental review process, the proposed 
scope of the supplement to the GEIS, and the proposed review schedule; 
and (2) the opportunity for interested government agencies, 
organizations, and individuals to submit comments or suggestions on the 
environmental issues or the proposed scope of the Turkey Point 
subsequent license renewal supplement to the GEIS. To be considered, 
comments must be provided either at the transcribed public meeting or 
in writing, as discussed in the ADDRESSES section of this notice.
    Persons may register to attend or present oral comments at the 
meetings on the scope of the NEPA review by contacting the NRC Project 
Manager, William Burton, by telephone at 301-415-6332, or by email to 
William.Burton@nrc.gov no later than May 24, 2018. Members of the 
public may also register to speak during the registration period prior 
to the start of the meeting. Individual oral comments may be limited by 
the time available, depending on the number of persons who register. 
Members of the public who have not registered may also have an 
opportunity to speak if time permits. Public comments will be 
considered in the scoping process for the Turkey Point subsequent 
license renewal supplement to the GEIS. Please contact Mr. Burton no 
later than May 24, 2018, if accommodations or special equipment is 
needed to attend or present information at the public meeting, so that 
the NRC staff can determine whether the request can be accommodated.
    Participation in the scoping process for the Turkey Point 
subsequent license renewal supplement to the GEIS does not entitle 
participants to become parties to the proceeding to which the 
supplement to the GEIS relates. Matters related to participation in any 
hearing are outside the scope of matters to be discussed at this public 
meeting.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 16th day of May, 2018.
