    In accordance with Sec.  51.118 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations, the NRC is issuing the final Supplement 53 to the GEIS 
regarding the renewal of TVA operating licenses DPR-77 and DPR-79 for 
an additional 20 years of operation for SQN. Draft Supplement 53 to the 
GEIS was noticed by the NRC in the Federal Register on August 11, 2014

    As discussed in Chapter 5 of the final Supplement 53 to the GEIS, 
the NRC determined that the adverse environmental impacts 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 TVA; (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.
