SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with Sec.  51.118 of title 10 
of the Code of Federal Regulations, the NRC is making available final 
Supplement 55 to the GEIS regarding the renewal of Exelon operating 
licenses NPF-72 and NPF-77 for an additional 20 years of operation for 
Braidwood. Draft Supplement 55 to the GEIS was noticed by the NRC in 
the Federal Register on March 25, 2015 (80 FR 15827), and noticed by 
the Environmental Protection Agency on March 27, 2015 (80 FR 16384). 
The public comment period on draft Supplement 55 to the GEIS ended on 
May 12, 2015, and the comments received are addressed in final 
Supplement 55 to the GEIS. Final Supplement 55 to the GEIS is available 
as indicated in the ADDRESSES section of this document.
    As discussed in Chapter 5 of the final Supplement 55 to the GEIS, 
the NRC determined that the adverse environmental impacts of license 
renewal for Braidwood 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) The analysis and 
findings in the GEIS; (2) information provided in the environmental 
report and other documents submitted by Exelon; (3) consultation with 
Federal, State, local, and Tribal agencies; (4) the NRC staff's 
independent environmental review; and (5) consideration of public 
comments received during the scoping process and on the draft 
Supplement 55 to the GEIS.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 13 day of November 2015.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
James G. Danna,
Chief, Projects Branch 2, Division of License Renewal, Office of 
Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
