SUBJECT:

NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF THE FINAL PLANT-SPECIFIC SUPPLEMENT 36 TO THE GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS REGARDING BEAVER VALLEY POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 (TAC NOS. MD6595 AND MD6596)

Dear Mr. Sena:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has completed the final plant-specific Supplement 36 to NUREG-1437, ?Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants (GEIS),@ regarding the renewal of operating licenses DPR-66 and NPF-73 for an additional 20 years of operation for the Beaver Valley Power Station, Units 1 and

2. Enclosed is a copy of the final supplement and the associated Federal Register Notice of Availability. This notice advises the public that the final supplement is publicly available at the NRC Public Document Room (PDR) or from the NRC=s Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC website at http://adamswebsearch.nrc.gov/dologin.htm. The Accession Number for the final Supplement 36 to the GEIS is ML091260011. In addition, the following libraries have agreed to make the final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) available for public inspection:

• Beaver Area Memorial Library,100 College Ave., Beaver, PA 15009-2704, telephone 724-775-1132

• Beaver County Library System, 1 Campus Drive, Monaca, PA 15061, telephone 724-728-3737 As discussed in Section 9.3 of the final supplement, the staff recommends that the Commission determine that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for the Beaver Valley Power Station, Units 1 and 2 are not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy planning decision makers would be unreasonable. This recommendation is based on:

(1) the analysis and findings in the GEIS; (2) the Environmental Report submitted by FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company; (3) consultation with Federal, State, and local agencies; (4) the NRC staff=s own independent review; and (5) the NRC staff=s consideration of public comments during the scoping period and the draft SEIS comment period.

P. Sena A separate Notice of Availability of the final supplemental environmental impact statement will be placed in the Federal Register through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact the NRC License Renewal Project Manager, Mr. Emmanuel Sayoc, at 301-415-1924 or by e-mail at Emmanuel.Sayoc@nrc.gov, or Mr. Kent Howard, at 301-415-2989 or by e-mail at Kent.Howard@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,

/RA/
