PURPOSE:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) received a license renewal application (LRA) from Energy Northwest by letter dated January 19, 2010, for the renewal of the operating license for Columbia Generating Station. The purpose of these meetings is to discuss the license renewal and environmental scoping process for the LRA review.

These meetings are being conducted as part of the scoping process outlined in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 51 (10 CFR Part 51) to support the development of an environmental impact statement. These meetings will provide members of the public with the opportunity to provide comments regarding environmental issues that the NRC should consider during its review.

Both meetings will be preceded by an informal open house beginning one hour prior to each meeting. The open house will provide members of the public with an opportunity to talk informally with NRC staff.

Members of the public may register to present oral comments at the meetings by contacting Daniel I. Doyle at 1-800-368-5642, extension 3748, or by e-mail at Daniel.Doyle@nrc.gov by April 1, 2010. Those who wish to make comments may also register within 15 minutes of the start of each meeting. Individual oral comments may be limited by the time available, depending on the number of persons who register.

The agenda for the meeting and Federal Register notices (75 FR 11572-11574 and 75 FR 11576-11578) are enclosed. The LRA and information on the license renewal process are available on the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/licensing/renewal.html.
