August 29, 2022 Mr. Theodore Smith Project Manager, Reactor Decommissioning Branch Division of Decommissioning, Uranium Recovery, and Waste Programs Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555 Ref: License Amendment for Decommissioning /Dismantling Three Mile Island, Unit 2 Docket ID NRC-2022-0156 Londonderry Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania ACHP Project Number: 18689
Dear Mr. Smith:
The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) has recently received inquiries regarding the referenced undertaking and the Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRCs) compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) [54 U.S.C. 306108] and its implementing regulations, Protection of Historic Properties (36 C.F.R. part 800). We are aware that on August 22, 2022, the NRC published a notice in the Federal Register (Vol. 87, No. 161) regarding receipt of an application for a license amendment to allow for decommissioning and dismantling of Three Mile Island Unit 2 (TMI-2).
Though the ACHP was informally copied on several emails over the last year referencing this undertaking, the ACHP has no record of formal notifications about this undertaking or determinations of adverse effects to historic properties. There also appears to be uncertainty about the nature of Section 106 review that NRC intends to carryout. Therefore, we would appreciate you apprizing us of the current status of this project, including steps the NRC has or will be taking to comply with the requirements of Section 106.
We thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter. Should you have questions, please contact Dr. John T. Eddins at (202) 517-0211 or by email at jeddins@achp.gov.
Sincerely, Jaime Loichinger Assistant Director Federal Permitting, Licensing, and Assistance Section Office of Federal Agency Programs
