SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Discussion Based upon the application dated March 23, 2017, as supplemented January 29, 2019, February 21, 2019, and June 10, 2019, the NRC has issued a renewed license to the licensee for the Trojan ISFSI, located in Columbia County, Oregon. The renewed license SNM-2509 authorizes and requires operation of the Trojan ISFSI in accordance with the provisions of the renewed license and its technical specifications. The renewed license will expire on March 31, 2059. The licensee's application for a renewed license complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the NRC's rules and regulations. The NRC has made appropriate findings as required by the Act and the NRC's regulations in Chapter 1 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), and sets forth those findings in the renewed license. The agency afforded an opportunity for a hearing in the Notice of Opportunity for a Hearing published in the Federal Register on August 18, 2017 (82 FR 39463). The NRC received no request for a hearing or petition for leave to intervene following the notice. The NRC staff prepared a safety evaluation report for the renewal of the ISFSI license and concluded, based on that evaluation, the ISFSI will continue to meet the regulations in 10 CFR part 72. The NRC staff also prepared an environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact for the renewal of this license, which were published on July 8, 2019 (84 FR 32478). The NRC staff's consideration of the impacts of continued storage of spent nuclear fuel (as documented in NUREG-2157, ``Generic Environmental Impact Statement for Continued Storage of Spent Fuel'') was included in the environmental assessment. The NRC staff concluded that renewal of this ISFSI license will not have a significant impact on the quality of the human environment. II.
