NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF THE FINAL PLANT-SPECIFIC SUPPLEMENT 33 TO THE GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS REGARDING SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNIT 1 (TAC NO. MD3611)

Dear Mr. Duncan:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has completed the final plant-specific Supplement 33 to NUREG-1437, ?Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants (GEIS),@ regarding the renewal of operating license NPF-063 for an additional 20 years of operation for the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1. 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 33 to the GEIS is ML082250290. In addition, the West Regional Library, located at 4000 Louis Stephens Dr., Cary, NC 27519 as well as the Eva H. Perry Library, located at 2100 Shepherd's Vineyard Dr., Apex, NC 27502, have agreed to make the final supplement available for public inspection.

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 Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1 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 Carolina Power & Light 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.

Mr. Duncan 2 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 Environmental Project Manager, Mr. Samuel Hernandez, at 301-415-4049 or by e-mail at samuel.hernandez@nrc.gov.
