SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that the NRC has issued renewed facility operating license No. NPF-3 to FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company, the operator of Davis-Besse. Renewed facility operating license No. NPF-3 authorizes operation of Davis- Besse by the licensee at reactor core power levels not in excess of 2817 megawatts thermal, in accordance with the provisions of the Davis- Besse renewed license and technical specifications.

The ROD and FSEIS document the NRC decision for the environmental review that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for Davis-Besse are not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy planning decisionmakers would be unreasonable. Davis-Besse, is a pressurized water reactor located in Carroll Township, Ottawa County, Ohio. The application for the renewed license, ``License Renewal Application, Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station,'' dated August 30, 2010, as supplemented by letters dated through June 29, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15180A252), complied with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the NRC's regulations.

A public notice of the proposed issuance of the renewed license and an opportunity for a hearing was published in the Federal Register on October 25, 2010 (75 FR 65528). For further details with respect to this action, see: (1) FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company license renewal application for Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1 dated August 20, 1010, as supplemented by letters dated through June 29, 2015; (2) the NRC's safety evaluation report published on September 3, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13248A267); (3) the NRC's supplemental safety evaluation report published on August 10, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15196A429); (4) the NRC's final environmental impact statement (NUREG-1437, Supplement 52), for Davis-Besse published in April 2014; and (5) the NRC's ROD.
