    Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
(the Commission) has published a draft plant-specific supplement to the 
Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS), NUREG-1437, regarding 
the renewal of operating licenses NPF-4 and NPF-7 for an additional 20 
years of operation at North Anna Power Station, Units 1 and 2. North 
Anna Power Station is located in Louisa County, Virginia. Possible 
alternatives to the proposed action (license renewal) include no action 
and reasonable alternative energy sources.
    The draft supplement to the GEIS is available electronically for 
public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room located at One White 
Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland, 
or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's 
document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at 
http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm.html (the Public Electronic Reading 
Room). If you do not have access to ADAMS or if there are problems in 
accessing the documents located in ADAMS, contact the NRC Public 
Document Room (PDR) Reference staff at 1-800-397-4209, or 301-415-4737,

University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia, and the Louisa 
County Public Library in Mineral, Virginia, have agreed to make the 
draft supplement to the GEIS available for public inspection.
    Any interested party may submit comments on the draft supplement to 
the GEIS for consideration by the NRC staff. To be certain of 
consideration, comments on the draft supplement to the GEIS and the 
proposed action must be received by August 1, 2002. Comments received 
after the due date will be considered if it is practical to do so, but 
the NRC staff is able to assure consideration only for comments 
received on or before this date. Written comments on the draft 
supplement to the GEIS should be sent to: Chief, Rules and Directives 
Branch, Division of Administrative Services, Office of Administration, 
Mail Stop T-6D 59, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 
20555-0001.
    Comments may be hand-delivered to the NRC at 11545 Rockville Pike, 
Rockville, Maryland, between 7:45 a.m. and 4:15 p.m. on Federal 
workdays. Electronic comments may be submitted to the NRC by the 
Internet at NorthAnnaEIS@nrc.gov. All comments received by the 
Commission, including those made by Federal, State, and local agencies, 
Indian tribes, or other interested persons, will be made available 
electronically at the Commission's Public Document Room in Rockville, 
Maryland and from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of 
NRC's document system (ADAMS).
    The NRC staff will hold a public meeting to present an overview of 
the draft plant-specific supplement to the GEIS and to accept public 
comments on the document. The public meeting will be held at the Public 
Room in the Louisa County Office Building, 1 Woolfolk Avenue, Louisa, 
Virginia, on June 25, 2002. There will be two sessions to accommodate 
interested parties. The first session will commence at 1:30 p.m. and 
will continue until 4:30 p.m. The second session will commence at 7:00 
p.m. and will continue until 10:00 p.m. Both meetings will be 
transcribed and will include (1) a presentation of the contents of the 
draft plant-specific supplement to the GEIS, and (2) the opportunity 
for interested government agencies, organizations, and individuals to 
provide comments on the draft report. Additionally, the NRC staff will 
host informal discussions one hour prior to the start of each session 
at the Louisa County Office Building. No comments on the proposed scope 
of the supplement to the GEIS will be accepted during the informal 
discussions. To be considered, comments must be provided either at the 
transcribed public meetings, or in writing as discussed above. Persons 
may pre-register to attend or present oral comments at the meeting by 
contacting Mr. Andrew J. Kugler by telephone at 1-800-368-5642, 
extension 2828, or by Internet to the NRC at NorthAnnaEIS@nrc.gov no

provide oral comments within 15 minutes of the start of each session. 
Individual oral comments may be limited by the time available, 
depending on the number of persons who register. If special equipment 
or accommodations are needed to attend or present information at the 
public meeting, the need should be brought to Mr. Kugler's attention no 
later than June 18, 2002, to provide the NRC staff adequate notice to 
determine whether the request can be accommodated.
