SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    In accordance with section 51.118 of title 10 of the Code of 
Federal Regulations, the NRC is making available for public inspection, 
final Supplement 57 to the GEIS regarding the renewal of Exelon 
Generation Company, LLC, operating licenses NPF-11 and NPF-18 for an 
additional 20 years of operation for LSCS. Draft Supplement 57 to the 
GEIS was noticed by the NRC in the Federal Register on February 11, 
2016 (81 FR 7378), and was noticed by the Environmental Protection 
Agency on February 19, 2016 (81 FR 8490). The public comment period on 
draft Supplement 57 to the GEIS ended on April 4, 2016. The NRC 
received 11 public comment submissions from State and Federal 
government organizations, public interest organizations, private 
citizens, and the licensee. The comments received on the draft 
Supplement 57 were addressed in the final Supplement 57 to the GEIS.

II. Discussion

    As discussed in Chapter 5 of the final Supplement 57 to the GEIS, 
the NRC determined that the adverse environmental impacts of license 
renewal for LSCS 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 Generation Company, LLC; (3) consultation 
with Federal, State, local, and Tribal government 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 57 to the GEIS.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 26th day of August, 2016.

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