SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In accordance with Sec.  51.118 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR), the NRC is making available final Supplement 56 
to NUREG-1437, regarding the renewal of DTE operating license NPF-43 
for an additional 20 years of operation for Fermi 2. Draft Supplement 
56 to NUREG-1437 was published in the Federal Register on November 6, 
2015 (80 FR 68881), and published in the Federal Register by the 
Environmental Protection Agency on November 13, 2015 (80 FR 70206). The 
public comment period on draft Supplement 56 to NUREG-1437 ended on 
December 28, 2015, and the comments received are addressed in final 
Supplement 56 to NUREG-1437.

II. Discussion

    As discussed in Chapter 5 of the final Supplement 56 to NUREG-1437, 
the NRC staff determined that the adverse environmental impacts of 
license renewal for Fermi 2 are not so great that preserving the option 
of license renewal for energy-planning decisionmakers 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 DTE; (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 
Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 21 day of September, 2016.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Kevin T. Folk,
Acting Chief, Environmental Review and Projects Branch, Division of 
License Renewal, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
