A notice of receipt and availability of the application, which included the environmental report (ER), was published in the Federal Register on May 5, 2008 (73 FR 24616). A notice of acceptance for docketing of the application for the COL was published in the Federal Register on June 11, 2008 (73 FR 33118).
The purpose of this notice is to inform the public that NUREG-1947,

(PDR) located at One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland 20852 or from the Publicly Available
Records (PARS) component of NRC Agency-wide Documents Access and
Management System (ADAMS) and will also be placed directly on the NRC
Web site at http://www.nrc.gov. ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic
Reading Room). The ADAMS accession number for the DSEIS is ML102370278.
Persons who do not have access to ADAMS or who encounter problems in accessing the documents located in ADAMS should contact the PDR reference staff at 1-800-397-4209, 301-415-4737, or by e-mail to pdr.resource@nrc.gov. In addition, the Burke County Library, 130
Highway 24 South, Waynesboro, GA, has agreed to make the DSEIS available for public inspection.
The NRC staff will hold a public meeting to present an overview of the DSEIS and to accept public comments on the document. The public meeting will be held at the Augusta Technical College, Waynesboro
Campus Auditorium, 216 Hwy 24 South, Waynesboro, GA on Thursday,
October 7, 2010. The meeting will convene at 7 p.m. and will continue until 10 p.m., as necessary. The meeting will be transcribed and will include: (1) A presentation of the contents of the DSEIS and (2) an 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 before the start of the meeting. No formal comments on the DSEIS will be accepted by the
NRC staff during the informal discussions. To be considered, comments must be provided either during the transcribed portion of the meeting or in writing. Comments will not be edited to remove any identifying or contact information, therefore, the NRC cautions against including any information that should not be publicly disclosed. The NRC requests that any party soliciting or aggregating comments received from other persons for submission to the NRC inform those persons that the NRC will not edit comments or remove any identifying or contact information, and therefore, they should not include any information in their comments that they do not want publicly disclosed.
Persons may register to attend or present oral comments at the meeting by contacting Ms. Mallecia Sutton by telephone at 1-800-368- 5642, extension 0673 or via Internet to the NRC at
VOGTLE.COLAEIS@nrc.gov, no later than September 30, 2010. Members of the public may also register to speak at the meeting within 15 minutes of the start of the meeting. Individual oral comments may be limited by the time available, depending on the number of persons who register.
