NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50-335 and 50-389]


St. Lucie, Units 1 and 2, Florida Power and Light Company; Notice 
of Availability of the Final Supplement 11 to the Generic Environmental 
Impact Statement Regarding License Renewal for St. Lucie, Units 1 and 2

    Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
(NRC) has published a final plant-specific Supplement 11 to the Generic 
Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS), NUREG-1437, regarding the 
renewal of operating licenses DPR-67 and NPF-16 for St. Lucie, Units 1 
and 2 (St. Lucie), for an additional 20 years of operation. St. Lucie 
is owned and operated by Florida Power and Light Company (FPL), and is 
located on Hutchinson Island in St. Lucie County, Florida. Possible 
alternatives to the proposed action (license renewal) include no action 
and reasonable alternative energy sources.
    It is stated in Section 9.3 of the report:

    Based on (1) the analysis and findings in the GEIS (NRC 1996, 
1999); (2) the Environmental Report submitted by FPL (FPL 2001b); 
(3) consultation with Federal, State, and local agencies; (4) the 
staff's own independent review; and (5) the staff's consideration of 
public comments, the recommendation of the staff is that the 
Commission determine that the adverse environmental impacts of 
license renewal for St. Lucie Units 1 and 2 are not so great that 
preserving the option of license renewal for energy planning 
decisionmakers would be unreasonable.

    The final Supplement 11 to the GEIS is available electronically for 
public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR) located at One 
White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, 
Maryland, or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of 
NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS 
is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room). 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 [email protected].
