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 for public 
inspection NUREG-1437, Supplement 5a, Second Renewal, regarding the 
subsequent renewal of Florida Power & Light Company's (FPL) Renewed 
Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-31 and DPR-41 for an additional 20 
years of operation for Turkey Point. A notice of availability of the 
draft of NUREG-1437, Supplement 5a, Second Renewal, was published in 
the Federal Register on September 8, 2023, by the NRC (88 FR 62110) and 
by the Environmental Protection Agency (88 FR 62078). The public 
comment period on the draft EIS ended on November 7, 2023, and the 
comments received are addressed in the final EIS.

II. Discussion

    As discussed in Chapter 3 of NUREG-1437, Supplement 5a, Second 
Renewal, the NRC staff's recommendation is that the adverse 
environmental impacts of subsequent license renewal for Turkey Point 
for an additional 20 years beyond the expiration dates of the initial 
renewed licenses are not so great that preserving the option of 
subsequent license renewal for energy-planning decisionmakers would be 
unreasonable. This recommendation is based on: (1) FPL's environmental 
report, as supplemented; (2) the NRC staff's consultations with 
Federal, State, Tribal, and local government agencies; (3) the NRC 
staff's independent environmental review, which is documented in NUREG-
1437, Supplement 5a, Second Renewal; and (4) the NRC staff's 
consideration of public comments.

    Dated: April 1, 2024.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Deputy Director, Division of Rulemaking, Environmental, and Financial 
Support, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards.
