SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
In accordance with section 51.118 of title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations, ``Final environmental impact statement--notice of
availability,'' the NRC is making available to the public NUREG-1437,
Supplement 63 regarding the proposed renewal of the Constellation
Energy Generation, LLC (CEG) Facility Operating License No. NPF-62 for
an additional 20 years of operation for CPS. A notice of availability
of the draft SEIS (NUREG-1437, Supplement 63, Draft Report for Comment)
was published in the Federal Register on April 16, 2025 (90 FR 16011).
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued its notice of
availability of the draft SEIS on April 18, 2025 (90 FR 16524). The
public comment period on the draft SEIS ended on June 2, 2025, and the
comments received on the draft SEIS are addressed in the final SEIS
(NUREG-1437, Supplement 63, Final Report).
II. Discussion
The draft SEIS (NUREG-1437, Supplement 63, Draft Report for
Comment) was issued for public comment. The final SEIS (NUREG-1437,
Supplement 63, Final Report) addresses the comments received on the
draft SEIS. As discussed in Chapter 4 of the final SEIS, the NRC staff
has determined that the adverse environmental impacts of license
renewal for CPS (i.e., the continued operation of CPS for a period of
20 years beyond the expiration date of the current operating 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 in the environmental
report, as supplemented, and other documents submitted by CEG; (2) the
NRC staff's consultation with Federal, State, Tribal, and local
governmental agencies; (3) the NRC staff's independent environmental
review; and (4) the NRC staff's consideration of public comments
received during the scoping process and on the draft SEIS (NUREG-1437,
Supplement 63, Draft Report for Comment).
Dated: August 6, 2025.
