Both are staff of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555–0001. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DATES: I. Background The NRC is withdrawing RG 5.68, ‘‘Protection against Malevolent use of Vehicles at Nuclear Power Plants,’’ because the guidance contained in the document is outdated, has been superseded by new guidance, and therefore is no longer acceptable to meet NRC regulatory requirements. In particular, on March 27, 2009, the NRC issued a revised rule that enhanced the security requirements pertaining to PO 00000 Frm 00049 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 nuclear power plants to incorporate requirements that were issued through Commission orders as a result of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks (74 FR 13925). In addition, the rulemaking added several new requirements consistent with insights gained from implementation of the orders, review of site security plans, implementation of the enhanced baseline inspection program, and NRC evaluation of forceon-force exercises. Since RG 5.68 was published in August 1994, it does not account for the updated requirements of 10 CFR part 73. As a result, the guidance in RG 5.68 is outdated. In addition, the NRC is withdrawing RG 5.68 because it has been superseded by updated guidance that can be found in other regulatory documents. These documents provide licensees with acceptable approaches to address various issues, including vehicle access controls, use of explosives, target set identification and the appropriate use of vehicles. II. Further Information The withdrawal of RG 5.68 does not alter any prior or existing NRC licensing approval or the acceptability of licensee commitments made in accordance with the withdrawn guidance. Although RG 5.68 is withdrawn, current licensees referencing this RG may continue to do so, and withdrawal does not affect any existing licenses or agreements. However, by withdrawing RG 5.68, the NRC will no longer approve use of the guidance in future requests or applications for NRC licensing actions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:01 Sep 19, 2018 Jkt 244001 I. Introduction Notice is hereby given that the NRC has issued Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR–26 and DPR–64 to Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Entergy or licensee), for the Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 2 (IP2) and 3 (IP3). IP2 and IP3 are pressurized-water reactors located in Buchanan, NY (24 miles north of New York City, NY). Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR–26 and DPR–64 authorize the licensee to operate IP2 and IP3 at reactor core power levels not in excess of 3,216 megawatts thermal for each unit, in accordance with the provisions of the IP2 and IP3 renewed licenses and technical specifications. The renewed licenses authorize operation of IP2 and IP3 until April 30, 2024 and April 30, 2025, respectively. The NRC’s record of decision (ROD) that supports the NRC’s decision to issue Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR–26 and DPR–64 is available in ADAMS under Accession No. ML18212A032. The NRC has concluded that the application for the renewed licenses, ‘‘Indian Point Energy Center License Renewal Application,’’ dated April 23, 2007 (ADAMS Accession No. ML071210512), as amended, complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the NRC’s regulations. As required by the Act and the NRC’s regulations set forth in title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), the NRC has made appropriate findings, which are set forth in the renewed licenses. No adjudicatory matters are pending before the Commission or the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board regarding the IP2 and IP3 license renewal application. The NRC staff published its final supplemental environmental impact statement (FSEIS) in five volumes of NUREG–1437, Supplement 38, ‘‘Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants Regarding Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 2 and 3 (NUREG– 1437, Supplement 38) Final Report.’’ For Volumes 1 through 3, dated December 3, 2010, see ADAMS Package Accession No. ML103270072; for Volume 4, dated June 30, 2013 (FSEIS Supplement 1), see ADAMS Accession No. ML13162A616; and for Volume 5, dated April 30, 2018 (FSEIS Supplement 2), see ADAMS Accession No. ML18107A759. As discussed in the ROD, FSEIS, and FSEIS supplements, the NRC has considered the reasonably foreseeable impacts of IP2 and IP3 license renewal as well as a range of PO 00000 Frm 00050 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 47649 reasonable alternatives to license renewal that included natural gas combined-cycle (NGCC); purchased electric power; conservation; combination alternative 1 (license renewal of either IP2 or IP3 along with wind power, hydropower, biomass fuels, landfill-gas fuels, and conservation); combination alternative 2 (fossil-fired power (combined-cycle) with wind power, biomass fuels, hydropower, landfill-gas fuels, and conservation); the no-action alternative; and operation of IP2 and IP3 using cooling towers. The FSEIS and FSEIS supplements document the environmental review, including the determination that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for IP2 and IP3 are not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy planning decisionmakers would be unreasonable. The NRC staff documented the results of its safety review in its ‘‘Safety Evaluation Report (SER) Related to the License Renewal of Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 2 and 3,’’ issued August 11, 2009 (ADAMS Accession No. ML092240268). On November 30, 2009, the NRC staff published its final report in two volumes as NUREG–1930, ‘‘Safety Evaluation Report Related to the License Renewal of Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 2 and 3’’ (for Volume 1, see ADAMS Accession No. ML093170451 and for Volume 2 see ADAMS Accession No. ML093170671). On August 31, 2011, the NRC staff issued Supplement 1 to NUREG–1930 (ADAMS Accession No. ML11242A215). Supplement 1 documents the NRC staff’s review of supplemental information provided by the applicant since the issuance of NUREG–1930, including annual updates required by 10 CFR 54.21(b), and updated information and commitments in response to NRC staff requests for additional information. On July 31, 2015, the NRC staff issued Supplement 2 to NUREG–1930 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15188A383). Supplement 2 documents the NRC staff’s review of supplemental information provided by the applicant since the issuance of Supplement 1, including information committed to by Entergy as documented in Commitment No. 30 (pertaining to reactor vessel internals), annual updates required by 10 CFR 54.21(b), updated information and commitments, as well as information provided in response to NRC staff requests for additional information. On August 1, 2018, the NRC staff issued Supplement 3 to NUREG–1930 (ADAMS Accession No. E:\FR\FM\20SEN1.SGM 20SEN1 47650 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 183 / Thursday, September 20, 2018 / Notices ML18200A333). Supplement 3 documents the NRC staff’s review of supplemental information provided by the applicant since the issuance of Supplement 2, including annual updates required by 10 CFR 54.21(b), updated information to address new or updated interim staff guidance, and recent operating experience. II. Conclusion The NRC has determined that the application for the Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 2 and 3 renewed licenses, ‘‘Indian Point Energy Center License Renewal Application,’’ dated April 23, 2007, as amended, complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the NRC’s regulations. As required by the Act and the NRC’s regulations in 10 CFR, the NRC has made appropriate findings, which are set forth in the renewed licenses and the ROD. No adjudicatory matters are pending before the Commission or the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board regarding the IP2 and IP3 license renewal application. Accordingly, the NRC has issued Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR–26 and DPR–64, authorizing operation of IP2 and IP3 until April 30, 2024 and April 30, 2025, respectively. III.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction

    Notice is hereby given that the NRC has issued Renewed Facility 
Operating License Nos. DPR-26 and DPR-64 to Entergy Nuclear Operations, 
Inc. (Entergy or licensee), for the Indian Point Nuclear Generating 
Unit Nos. 2 (IP2) and 3 (IP3). IP2 and IP3 are pressurized-water 
reactors located in Buchanan, NY (24 miles north of New York City, NY). 
Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-26 and DPR-64 authorize the 
licensee to operate IP2 and IP3 at reactor core power levels not in 
excess of 3,216 megawatts thermal for each unit, in accordance with the 
provisions of the IP2 and IP3 renewed licenses and technical 
specifications. The renewed licenses authorize operation of IP2 and IP3 
until April 30, 2024 and April 30, 2025, respectively. The NRC's record 
of decision (ROD) that supports the NRC's decision to issue Renewed 
Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-26 and DPR-64 is available in ADAMS 
under Accession No. ML18212A032.
    The NRC has concluded that the application for the renewed 
licenses, ``Indian Point Energy Center License Renewal Application,'' 
dated April 23, 2007 (ADAMS Accession No. ML071210512), as amended, 
complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act 
of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the NRC's regulations. As required 
by the Act and the NRC's regulations set forth in title 10 of the Code 
of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), the NRC has made appropriate findings, 
which are set forth in the renewed licenses. No adjudicatory matters 
are pending before the Commission or the Atomic Safety and Licensing 
Board regarding the IP2 and IP3 license renewal application.
    The NRC staff published its final supplemental environmental impact 
statement (FSEIS) in five volumes of NUREG-1437, Supplement 38, 
``Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear 
Plants Regarding Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 2 and 3 
(NUREG-1437, Supplement 38) Final Report.'' For Volumes 1 through 3, 
dated December 3, 2010, see ADAMS Package Accession No. ML103270072; 
for Volume 4, dated June 30, 2013 (FSEIS Supplement 1), see ADAMS 
Accession No. ML13162A616; and for Volume 5, dated April 30, 2018 
(FSEIS Supplement 2), see ADAMS Accession No. ML18107A759. As discussed 
in the ROD, FSEIS, and FSEIS supplements, the NRC has considered the 
reasonably foreseeable impacts of IP2 and IP3 license renewal as well 
as a range of reasonable alternatives to license renewal that included 
natural gas combined-cycle (NGCC); purchased electric power; 
conservation; combination alternative 1 (license renewal of either IP2 
or IP3 along with wind power, hydropower, biomass fuels, landfill-gas 
fuels, and conservation); combination alternative 2 (fossil-fired power 
(combined-cycle) with wind power, biomass fuels, hydropower, landfill-
gas fuels, and conservation); the no-action alternative; and operation 
of IP2 and IP3 using cooling towers. The FSEIS and FSEIS supplements 
document the environmental review, including the determination that the 
adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for IP2 and IP3 are 
not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy 
planning decisionmakers would be unreasonable.
    The NRC staff documented the results of its safety review in its 
``Safety Evaluation Report (SER) Related to the License Renewal of 
Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 2 and 3,'' issued August 11, 
2009 (ADAMS Accession No. ML092240268). On November 30, 2009, the NRC 
staff published its final report in two volumes as NUREG-1930, ``Safety 
Evaluation Report Related to the License Renewal of Indian Point 
Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 2 and 3'' (for Volume 1, see ADAMS 
Accession No. ML093170451 and for Volume 2 see ADAMS Accession No. 
ML093170671). On August 31, 2011, the NRC staff issued Supplement 1 to 
NUREG-1930 (ADAMS Accession No. ML11242A215). Supplement 1 documents 
the NRC staff's review of supplemental information provided by the 
applicant since the issuance of NUREG-1930, including annual updates 
required by 10 CFR 54.21(b), and updated information and commitments in 
response to NRC staff requests for additional information. On July 31, 
2015, the NRC staff issued Supplement 2 to NUREG-1930 (ADAMS Accession 
No. ML15188A383). Supplement 2 documents the NRC staff's review of 
supplemental information provided by the applicant since the issuance 
of Supplement 1, including information committed to by Entergy as 
documented in Commitment No. 30 (pertaining to reactor vessel 
internals), annual updates required by 10 CFR 54.21(b), updated 
information and commitments, as well as information provided in 
response to NRC staff requests for additional information. On August 1, 
2018, the NRC staff issued Supplement 3 to NUREG-1930 (ADAMS Accession 
No.

ML18200A333). Supplement 3 documents the NRC staff's review of 
supplemental information provided by the applicant since the issuance 
of Supplement 2, including annual updates required by 10 CFR 54.21(b), 
updated information to address new or updated interim staff guidance, 
and recent operating experience.

II. Conclusion

    The NRC has determined that the application for the Indian Point 
Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 2 and 3 renewed licenses, ``Indian Point
