SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    In accordance with section 51.118 of title 10 of the Code of 
Federal Regulations (10 CFR), the NRC is making available final 
Supplement 6, Second Renewal to NUREG-1437, regarding the renewal of 
Virginia Electric and Power Company; Dominion Energy Virginia 
(Dominion), operating licenses DPR-32 and DPR-37 for an additional 20 
years of operation for Surry Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 (Surry). 
A Notice of Availability of Draft Supplement 6, Second Renewal to 
NUREG-1437 was published in the Federal Register on October 25, 2019 
(84 FR 57417 and 84 FR 56488), by the Environmental Protection Agency. 
The public comment period on draft Supplement 6, Second Renewal to 
NUREG-1437 ended on December 10, 2019, and the comments received are 
addressed in final Supplement 6, Second Renewal to NUREG-1437.

II. Discussion

    As discussed in Chapter 5 of final Supplement 6, Second Renewal to 
NUREG-1437, the NRC staff determined that the adverse environmental 
impacts of subsequent license renewal for Surry are not so great that 
preserving the option of subsequent license renewal for energy-planning 
decisionmakers would not be unreasonable. This recommendation is based 
on: (1) The analysis and findings in the GEIS; (2) information provided 
in the environmental report and other documents submitted by Dominion; 
(3) consultation with Federal, State, Tribal,

[[Page 20308]]

and local agencies; (4) the NRC staff's independent environmental 
review; and (5) consideration of public comments received during the 
scoping process and on the draft Supplemental Environmental Impact 
Statement.

    Dated: April 6, 2020.
