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 for public
inspection NUREG-1437, Supplement 61, Second Renewal, regarding the
subsequent license renewal of Vistra Operations Company, LLC.;
(Vistra), renewed Facility Operating License No. NPF-58 for an
additional 20 years of operation for Perry Plant. A notice of
availability of the draft EIS (NUREG-1437, Supplement 61, Second
Renewal, Draft for Comment) was published in the Federal Register on
September 6, 2024 (89 FR 72901). The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) issued its Notice of Availability on September 6, 2024 (89
FR 72841). The public comment period on the draft EIS ended on October
21, 2024, and the comments received on the draft EIS are addressed in
the final EIS (NUREG-1437, Supplement 61, Second Renewal, Final
Report).
II. Discussion
The draft EIS (NUREG-1437, Supplement 61, Second Renewal, Draft for
Comment) was issued for public comment on September 6, 2024. The final
EIS (NUREG-1437, Supplement 61, Second Renewal, Final Report) addresses
the comments received on the draft EIS. As discussed in Chapter 4 of
the final EIS, the NRC staff has
[[Page 19735]]
determined that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal
for Perry Plant (i.e., the continued operation of Perry Plant for a
period of 20 years beyond the expiration date of the initial license)
are not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for
energy-planning decision-makers would be unreasonable. This
recommendation is based on: (1) information provided in the
environmental report, as supplemented, and other documents submitted by
Vistra; (2) consultation with Federal, State, Tribal, and local
governmental agencies; (3) the NRC staff's independent environmental
review; and (4) consideration of public comments received during the
scoping process and on the draft EIS (NUREG-1437, Supplement 61, Second
Renewal, Draft for Comment).
Dated: May 6, 2025.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

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