The NRC staff will hold a public meeting to present an overview of

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
