Westinghouse Environmental Impact Statement Scoping Process Federal Register Notice Attachments: Westinghouse EIS Scoping FRN.pdf Good morning On July 31, 2020, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff announced, in the Federal Register, its intent to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) for Westinghouse Electric Company, LLCs (Westinghouses) request to renew its operating license for its Columbia Fuel Fabrication Facility in Hopkins, South Carolina, and the beginning of the scoping process. See 85 FR 46193.

The NRC staff is inviting the public, local, State, Tribal, and Federal government agencies to participate in the environmental scoping process by submitting written comments during the scoping comment period, which ends on August 31, 2020, via:

o Federal Rulemaking Web Site: Go to https://www.regulations.gov and search for Docket ID NRC-2015-0039, o E-mail comments to: WEC_CFFF_EIS.resource@nrc.gov, o Mail comments to: Office of Administration, Mail Stop: TWFN-7-A60M, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.

The NRC is conducting the EIS scoping process in accordance with section 51.29 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR). The purpose of the scoping process is to determine the appropriate scope of the EIS, including significant environmental issues to be analyzed in depth, as well as those that should be eliminated from detailed study because they are peripheral or are not significant. After the close of the scoping comment period, the NRC staff will prepare a concise summary of its scoping process in accordance with 10 CFR 51.29(b). The scoping summary report will be sent to each participant in the scoping process for whom the staff has a physical or e-mail address.

Once the draft EIS has been prepared, the NRC staff will publish it for public review and comment in accordance with 10 CFR 51.73.

Sincerely, Diana Diana Diaz-Toro Project Manager NMSS/REFS/ERMB 301-415-0930 diana.diaz-toro@nrc.gov 1
