SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
In accordance with § 51.118 of Title
10 of the Code of Federal Regulations,
the NRC is making available final
Supplement 54 to the GEIS regarding
the renewal of Exelon operating licenses
NPF–37 and NPF–66 for an additional
20 years of operation for Byron. Draft
Supplement 54 to the GEIS was noticed
by the NRC in the Federal Register on
January 2, 2015 (80 FR 55), and noticed
by the Environmental Protection Agency
on January 2, 2015 (80 FR 41). The
public comment period on draft
Supplement 54 to the GEIS ended on
February 20, 2015, and the comments
received are addressed in final
Supplement 54 to the GEIS. Final
Supplement 54 to the GEIS is available
as indicated in the ADDRESSES section of
this document.
II. Discussion
As discussed in chapter 5 of the final
Supplement 54 to the GEIS, the NRC
determined that the adverse
environmental impacts of license
renewal for Byron 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 Exelon; (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.

Lost Creek ISR, LLC

Commission.
ACTION: Temporary exemption; issuance.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is issuing a
temporary exemption from certain NRC
financial assurance requirements to Lost
Creek ISR, LLC (Lost Creek), in response
to its annual financial assurance update
for its Lost Creek In-Situ Recovery (ISR)
project. Issuance of this temporary
exemption will not remove the
requirement for Lost Creek to provide
adequate financial assurance through an
approved mechanism, but will allow the
NRC staff to further evaluate whether
the State of Wyoming’s separate account
provision for financial assurance
instruments it holds is consistent with
the NRC’s requirement for a standby
trust agreement.
