SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC has issued Amendment No. 159 to

License and Updated Final Safety Analysis Report for operation of the 
Seabrook Station, Unit No. 1, located in Rockingham County, New

listed in the safety evaluation enclosed with the amendment. The 
amendment was effective as of the date of its issuance.
    The application for the amendment complies with the standards and 
requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), 
and the Commission's rules and regulations. The Commission has made 
appropriate findings as required by the Act and the Commission's rules 
and regulations in chapter I of title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR), which are set forth in the license amendment.
    A Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment and Proposed No 
Significant Hazards Consideration Determination and Opportunity for 
Hearing in connection with this action was published in the Federal 
Register on February 7, 2017 (82 FR 9604). A request for a hearing was 
filed on April 10, 2017, by C-10 Research and Education Foundation, 
Inc.
    Under its regulations, the Commission may issue and make an 
amendment immediately effective, notwithstanding the pendency before it 
of a request for a hearing from any person, in advance of the holding 
and completion of any required hearing, where it has determined that no 
significant hazards consideration is involved.
    The Commission has applied the standards of 10 CFR 50.92 and has 
made a final determination that the amendment involves no significant 
hazards consideration. The basis for this determination is contained in 
the safety evaluation related to this action. Accordingly, as described 
above, the amendment has been issued and made immediately effective and 
any hearing will be held after issuance.
    The Commission has determined that this amendment satisfies the 
criteria for categorical exclusion in accordance with 10 CFR 51.22. 
Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact 
statement or environmental assessment need be prepared for this 
amendment.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated August 1, 2016 (ADAMS Package Accession 
No. ML16216A250), as supplemented by letters dated September 30, 2016;
