SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
In accordance with section 51.118 of title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ``Final environmental impact statement--
notice of availability,'' the NRC is making available final Supplement
60, License Renewal to NUREG-1437, regarding the renewal of Vistra
Operations Company LLC; Luminant (Vistra), operating licenses NPF-87
and NPF-89 for an additional 20 years of operation for CPNPP. A Notice
of Availability of draft Supplement 60, License Renewal to NUREG-1437
was published in the Federal Register on November 9, 2023 (88 FR
77308), by the Environmental Protection Agency. The public comment
period on draft Supplement 60, License Renewal to NUREG-1437 ended on
December 26, 2023, and the comments received are addressed in final
Supplement 60, License Renewal to NUREG-1437.
II. Discussion
As discussed in Chapter 4 of final Supplement 60, License Renewal
to NUREG-1437, the NRC staff determined that the adverse environmental
impacts of subsequent license renewal for CPNPP 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 Vistra;
(3) consultation with Federal, State, Tribal, 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
SEIS.
Dated: April 26, 2024.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

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