SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    In accordance with section 51.118 of title 10 of the Code of 
Federal Regulations, the NRC is issuing NUREG-2176, ``Environmental 
Impact Statement for Combined Licenses (COLs) for Turkey Point Nuclear 
Plant, Units 6 and 7.'' A notice of availability of the draft EIS was 
published by the NRC in the Federal Register on March 5, 2015 (80 FR 
12043) and also noticed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on 
March 6, 2015 (80 FR 12172). The public comment period closed on May 
22, 2015. During the course of the comment period, the NRC received 
requests from members of the public, a Tribal government and Federal 
agencies to extend the comment period. The NRC reopened the comment 
period on the draft EIS from May 28, 2015, until July 17, 2015 (80 FR 
30501); public comments are addressed in Appendix E in the final EIS. 
The final EIS is available for public inspection as indicated in the 
ADDRESSES section of this document.
    The final EIS also supports the USACE's review and was prepared in 
accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as 
amended. The final EIS also supports the Department of the Army's 
permit application for certain construction activities at the proposed 
Turkey Point, Units 6 and 7 site. The USACE's Department of the Army 
permit application number for Turkey Point, Units 6 and 7 project is 
(SAJ-2009-

[[Page 76393]]

02417). The USACE's Public Interest Review will be part of its Record 
of Decision and is not addressed in the final EIS.

II. Discussion

    As discussed in the final EIS, the NRC staff's recommendation 
related to the environmental aspects of the proposed action is that the 
COLs should be issued. This recommendation is based on: (1) The 
Environmental Report (ER) submitted by FPL, as revised; (2) 
consultation with Federal, State, Tribal, and local agencies; (3) the 
NRC staff's independent review; (4) the NRC staff's consideration of 
comments received during the environmental review; and (5) the 
assessments summarized in the final EIS, including the potential 
mitigation measures identified in the ER and in the final EIS. In 
addition, in making its recommendation, the NRC staff has concluded 
that there are no environmentally preferable or obviously superior 
sites in the region of interest.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 27th day of October, 2016.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Director, Division of New Reactor Licensing, Office of New Reactors.
