SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    In accordance with Sec.  51.118 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations, the

[[Page 60508]]

NRC is issuing the final Supplement 59 to the GEIS regarding the 
renewal of Entergy Operations, Inc. operating license NPF-38 for an 
additional 20 years of operation for WF3. Draft Supplement 59 to the 
GEIS was noticed by the NRC in the Federal Register on August 23, 2018 
(83 FR 42713), and noticed by the Environmental Protection Agency on 
August 24, 2018 (83 FR 42892). The public comment period on draft 
Supplement 59 to the GEIS ended on October 9, 2018, and the comments 
received are addressed in final Supplement 59 to the GEIS.

II. Discussion

    As discussed in Chapter 5 of the final Supplement 59 to the GEIS, 
the NRC determined that the adverse environmental impacts of license 
renewal for WF3 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 Entergy Operations Inc.; (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 20th day of November, 2018.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Emmanuel C. Sayoc,
Acting Chief, License Renewal Projects Branch, Division of Materials 
and License Renewal, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
