NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-331; NRC-2020-0148]

NextEra Energy Duane Arnold, LLC Duane Arnold Energy Center Post-Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Reopening of comment period.

SUMMARY

On June 19, 2020, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) solicited comments on the post-shutdown decommissioning activities report (PSDAR) for the Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC). The PSDAR, which includes the site-specific decommissioning cost estimate (DCE), provides an overview of NextEra Energy Duane Arnold, LLCs (NEDA or the licensees) planned decommissioning activities, schedule, projected costs, and environmental impacts for DAEC. The public comment period closed on October 19, 2020, was reopened on October 26, 2020, and closed again on February 19, 2021. The NRC has decided to reopen the public comment period for a second time to provide additional time for members of the public to develop and submit their comments, as well as to allow time for an in-person public meeting on the PSDAR. The NRC will hold a public meeting to discuss the PSDARs content and receive comments once restrictions associated with the Coronavirus Disease 2019 public health emergency are lifted.

DATES: The comment period for the document published on June 19, 2020 (85 FR 37116) has been reopened. Comments should be filed no later than August 19, 2021.

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.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments by any of the following methods (unless this document describes a different method for submitting comments on a specific subject);

however, the NRC encourages electronic comment submission through the Federal Rulemaking Web Site:

II. Discussion On June 19, 2020, the NRC solicited comments on the PSDAR dated April 2, 2020, including the site-specific DCE for DAEC (ADAMS Accession No. ML20094F603). The purpose of the original Federal Register notice (85 FR 37116; June 19, 2020) was to inform the public of a meeting to discuss and accept comments on the PSDAR and DCE. The public comment period closed on October 19, 2020, was reopened on October 26, 2020 (85 FR 67780), to account for the restrictions associated with the Coronavirus Disease 2019 public health emergency and closed again on February 19, 2021.

The NRC has decided to once again reopen the public comment period on this document until August 19, 2021, to provide additional time for members of the public to develop and submit their comments, as well as to allow time for an in-person public meeting on the DAEC PSDAR. The NRC will hold a public meeting to discuss the PSDARs content and receive comments once restrictions associated with the Coronavirus Disease 2019 public health emergency are lifted. Members of the public interested in attending this meeting should monitor the NRCs Public Meeting Schedule Web site at https://www.nrc.gov/pmns/mtg for additional information.
