Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Jacksonville

Statement for Combined Licenses (COL) for Levy Nuclear Plant Units 1

application for the COLs was submitted by letter dated July 28, 2008,
pursuant to title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) part

included the environmental report, and a notice of acceptance for
docketing of the COL application were published in the Federal Register
on October 14, 2008 (73 FR 60726). A notice of intent to prepare a
draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) and to conduct the scoping
process was published in the Federal Register on October 24, 2008 (73
FR 63517). A COL is an authorization to construct and (with specified
conditions) operate a nuclear power plant at a specific site in
accordance with established laws and regulations.
The purpose of this notice is to inform the public that NUREG-1941
is available for public inspection. The DEIS can be accessed: (1)

in the NRC's Public Document Room (PDR) located at One White Flint
North, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Public File Area O1-F21,
Rockville, Maryland 20852, or (3) from NRC's Agencywide Documents
Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC
Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. The accession
numbers for the DEIS are ML102140231 and ML102140235. Persons who do
not have access to ADAMS, or who encounter difficulty accessing the
documents located in ADAMS, should contact the PDR reference staff at
1-800-397-4209 or 301-415-4737, or via e-mail to [email protected].
In addition, the following four public libraries have agreed to make
the DEIS available to the public: the Citrus County Coastal Region

at 8619 West Crystal Street, Crystal River, Florida; the Dunnellon
Branch Library, located at 20351 Robinson Road, Dunnellon, Florida; the

Any interested party may submit comments on the DEIS for
consideration by the NRC staff. Comments may be accompanied by
additional relevant information or supporting data. This draft report
is being issued with a 75-day comment period. The comment period begins
on the date that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency publishes a
Notice of Filing in the Federal Register, which is expected to be
August 13, 2010; such Notices are published every Friday. The Notice
will identify the end date of the comment period. To be considered,
written comments should be postmarked by the end date of the comment
period. Members of the public may submit comments on the DEIS by e-mail
or mail. Comments submitted via e-mail should be sent to
[email protected]. Electronic submissions should be sent no later
than the end date of the comment period. Written comments on the DEIS
should be mailed to the Chief, Rules, Announcements, and Directives
Branch, Division of Administrative Services, Office of Administration,
Mailstop TWB-05-B01M, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington,
DC 20555-0001, or by fax at (301) 492-3446, and should cite the
publication date and page number of this Federal Register Notice.
Comments submitted in writing or in electronic form will be posted on
the NRC Web site and on the Federal rulemaking Web site http://www.Regulations.gov.
Comments will not be edited to remove any identifying or contact
information, therefore, the NRC cautions against including any
information that should not be publicly disclosed. The NRC requests
that any party soliciting or aggregating comments received from other
persons for submission to the NRC inform those persons that the NRC
will not edit comments or remove any identifying or contact
information, and therefore, they should not include any information in
their comments that they do not want publicly disclosed.
The NRC and USACE staff will hold two public meetings to present an
overview of the DEIS and to accept public comments on the document on
Thursday, September 23, 2010, at the Plantation Inn, 9301 West Fort
Island Trail, Crystal River, Florida. The first meeting will convene at
1:30 p.m. and will continue until 4:30 p.m., as necessary. The second
meeting will convene at 7 p.m., with a repeat of the overview portions
of the first meeting, and will continue until 10 p.m., as necessary.
The meetings will be transcribed and will include a presentation of the
contents of the DEIS and the opportunity for interested government
agencies, organizations, and individuals to provide comments on the
draft report. To be considered, comments must be provided, either
orally or in writing, during the transcribed public meeting.
Additionally, the NRC and USACE staff will host informal discussions
one hour before the start of each meeting during which members of the
public may meet and talk with NRC and USACE staff members on an
informal basis. No formal comments on the DEIS will be accepted during
these informal discussions.
Persons may pre-register to attend or present oral comments at the
meeting by contacting Mr. Douglas Bruner by telephone at 1-800-368-

who have not registered may also have an opportunity to speak, if time
permits. Mr. Bruner will need to be contacted no later than September
16, 2010, if special equipment or accommodations are needed to attend
or present information at the public meeting, so that the NRC staff can
determine whether the request can be accommodated.
