As stated in a letter to you dated September 22, 2023 (ADAMS Package Accession No. ML23256A358), the NRC staff determined that the application is acceptable for docketing and that the staff will proceed with its detailed technical review. In support of the application and in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 51 and Part 54, Energy Harbor also submitted an environmental report. This letter provides information related to the NRC staffs environmental review of the application.

The NRC staff has prepared a Notice of Intent (NOI) advising the public that the NRC intends to conduct a scoping process to gather the information necessary to prepare a plant-specific supplement to NUREG-1437, Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants (ADAMS Package Accession No. ML13107A023), related to the review of the application for the renewal of the Perry operating licenses. Enclosed is a copy of the NOI that will be forwarded to the Office of the Federal Register for publication.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.28, Energy Harbor is invited to participate in the environmental scoping process. Also, as discussed in the NOI, the NRC staff is providing the public with the opportunity to participate in an online webinar to be held on October 19, 2023, as well as an in-person environmental scoping meeting to be held on October 25, 2023. Both meetings will be transcribed. At these meetings, the NRC staff will present an overview of the safety and environmental review processes and describe how these processes will be implemented for the review of the Perry license renewal application. The NRC staff will also provide members of the public an opportunity to provide comments.

R. Penfield If you have any questions on this matter, please contact Lance Rakovan via email at Lance.Rakovan@nrc.gov.

Sincerely, Signed by Smith, Theodore on 10/03/23 Theodore Smith, Chief Environmental Review License Renewal Branch Division of Rulemaking, Environment, and Financial Support Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards Docket Nos. 50-440
