Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc.; Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station, Unit 1; Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement
AGENCY:
Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION:
Reschedule of public meeting; reopening of comment period.
SUMMARY:
On December 6, 2024, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) solicited public comments on draft Supplement 15, Second Renewal, to the Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS) for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, NUREG-1437, regarding the subsequent renewal of Renewed Facility Operating License No. NPF-12 for an additional 20 years for Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station, Unit 1 (V.C. Summer). The public comment period closed on January 21, 2025. The NRC has rescheduled the in-person public meeting to receive comments on the document and is therefore reopening the public comment period to allow more time for members of the public to submit their comments.
DATES:
The NRC has rescheduled its in-person public meeting to January 28, 2025, at 6 p.m. eastern time (ET). The public meeting details can be found on the NRC's Public Meeting Schedule at https://www.nrc.gov/pmns/mtg. The comment period for the document published on December 6, 2024 (89 FR 97077) has been reopened. Members of the public are invited to submit comments by February 11, 2025. Comments received after this date will be considered, if it is practical to do so, but the NRC is able to ensure consideration only for comments received on or before that date.

II. Discussion
On December 6, 2024, the NRC solicited public comments on draft Supplement 15, Second Renewal, to the GEIS for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, NUREG-1437, regarding the subsequent renewal of Renewed Facility Operating License No. NPF-12 for an additional 20 years for V.C. Summer. Draft Supplement 15, Second Renewal, to the GEIS includes the NRC staff's evaluation of the environmental impacts of the proposed action and alternatives to the proposed action.
Pursuant to section 51.73 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, the NRC established a comment period of 45 days from the date of its Federal Register notice issued on December 6, 2024 (89 FR 97077). The public comment period closed on January 21, 2025. However, the in-person public meeting originally scheduled for January 9, 2025, was postponed due to the day's designation as a National Day of Mourning throughout the United States. The in-person public meeting has been rescheduled to January 28, 2025. In order to accommodate the rescheduled meeting and to allow more time for members of the public to submit their comments, the NRC has decided to reopen the public comment period to February 11, 2025. Comments received after this date will be considered, if it is practical to do so, but the NRC is able to ensure consideration only for comments received on or before that date.
