SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The NRC is considering the approval
of the initial and updated
decommissioning funding plans (DFPs)
submitted by ISFSI licensees. The NRC
staff has prepared a Final EA and FONSI
determination for each of the initial and
updated ISFSI DFPs in accordance with
the NRC regulations in part 51 of title
10 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(10 CFR), ‘‘Environmental Protection
Regulations for Domestic Licensing and
Related Regulatory Functions,’’ which
implement the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969, as amended (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).
The NRC requires its licensees to plan
for the eventual decommissioning of
their licensed facilities prior to license
termination. On June 17, 2011, the NRC
published a final rule in the Federal
Register amending its decommissioning
planning regulations (76 FR 35511). The
final rule amended the NRC regulation,
10 CFR 72.30, which concerns financial
assurance and decommissioning for
ISFSIs. This regulation requires each
holder of, or applicant for, a license
under 10 CFR part 72 to submit a DFP
for the NRC’s review and approval. The
DFP is to demonstrate the licensee’s
financial assurance, i.e., that funds will
be available to decommission the ISFSI.
II. Discussion
The table in this notice includes the
plant name, docket number, licensee,
and ADAMS Accession Number for the
Final EA and FONSI determination for
each of the individual ISFSIs. The table
also includes the ADAMS Accession
Number for other relevant documents,
including the initial and updated DFP
submittals, as well as the financial
analyses documenting the findings of
reasonable assurance that funds will be
available to decommission the ISFSIs.
For further details with respect to these
actions, see the NRC staff’s Final EA and
FONSI determinations and financial
analyses approving the DFP, which are
available for public inspection in
ADAMS and at https://
www.regulations.gov under Docket ID
NRC–2020–0132. For additional

Entergy Operations, Inc., currently Entergy Nuclear Company, LLC (Entergy).
The NRC’s review and approval of Entergy’s initial and updated DFPs submitted in accordance with 10 CFR
72.30(b) and (c).
The NRC staff has determined that the proposed action, the review and approval of Entergy’s initial and updated
DFPs, submitted in accordance with 10 CFR 72.30(b) and (c), will not authorize changes to licensed operations
or maintenance activities, or result in changes in the types, characteristics, or quantities of radiological or non-radiological effluents released into the environment from the ISFSI, or result in the creation of solid waste. Moreover, the approval of the initial and updated DFPs will not authorize any construction activity, facility modification,
or other land-disturbing activity. The NRC staff has concluded that the proposed action is a procedural and administrative action that will not have a significant impact on the environment.

The proposed action does not require changes to the ISFSI’s licensed routine operations, maintenance activities, or
monitoring programs, nor does it require new construction or land-disturbing activities. The scope of the proposed
action concerns only the NRC’s review and approval of Entergy’s initial and updated DFPs. The scope of the proposed action does not include, and will not result in, the review and approval of decontamination or decommissioning activities or license termination for the ISFSI or for other parts of Arkansas Nuclear One, Units 1 and 2.
Therefore, the NRC staff determined that approval of the initial and updated DFPs for the Arkansas Nuclear
ISFSI will not significantly affect the quality of the human environment, and accordingly, the staff has concluded
that a FONSI is appropriate. The NRC staff further finds that preparation of an environmental impact statement
(EIS) is not required.

The NRC’s review and approval of CENG’s initial and Exelon’s updated DFPs submitted in accordance with 10
CFR 72.30(b) and (c).
The NRC staff has determined that the proposed action, the review and approval of CENG’s initial and Exelon’s updated DFPs, submitted in accordance with 10 CFR 72.30(b) and (c), will not authorize changes to licensed operations or maintenance activities, or result in changes in the types, characteristics, or quantities of radiological or
non-radiological effluents released into the environment from the ISFSI, or result in the creation of solid waste.
Moreover, the approval of the initial and updated DFPs will not authorize any construction activity, facility modification, or other land-disturbing activity. The NRC staff has concluded that the proposed action is a procedural
and administrative action that will not have a significant impact on the environment.
The proposed action does not require changes to the ISFSI’s licensed routine operations, maintenance activities, or
monitoring programs, nor does it require new construction or land-disturbing activities. The scope of the proposed
action concerns only the NRC’s review and approval of CENG’s initial and Exelon’s updated DFPs. The scope of
the proposed action does not include, and will not result in, the review and approval of decontamination or decommissioning activities or license termination for the ISFSI or for other parts of Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power
Plant, Units 1 and 2. Therefore, the NRC staff determined that approval of CENG’s initial and Exelon’s updated
DFPs for the Calvert Cliffs ISFSI will not significantly affect the quality of the human environment, and accordingly, the staff has concluded that a FONSI is appropriate. The NRC staff further finds that preparation of an environmental impact statement (EIS) is not required.

Mile Point ISFSI will not significantly affect the quality of the human environment, and accordingly, the staff has
concluded that a FONSI is appropriate. The NRC staff further finds that preparation of an environmental impact
statement (EIS) is not required.

The NRC’s review and approval of Exelon’s initial and updated DFPs submitted in accordance with 10 CFR
72.30(b) and (c).
The NRC staff has determined that the proposed action, the review and approval of Exelon’s initial and updated
DFPs, submitted in accordance with 10 CFR 72.30(b) and (c), will not authorize changes to licensed operations
or maintenance activities, or result in changes in the types, characteristics, or quantities of radiological or non-radiological effluents released into the environment from the ISFSI, or result in the creation of solid waste. Moreover, the approval of the initial and updated DFPs will not authorize any construction activity, facility modification,
or other land-disturbing activity. The NRC staff has concluded that the proposed action is a procedural and administrative action that will not have a significant impact on the environment.
The proposed action does not require changes to the ISFSI’s licensed routine operations, maintenance activities, or
monitoring programs, nor does it require new construction or land-disturbing activities. The scope of the proposed
action concerns only the NRC’s review and approval of Exelon’s initial and updated DFPs. The scope of the proposed action does not include, and will not result in, the review and approval of decontamination or decommissioning activities or license termination for the ISFSI or for other parts of Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station. Therefore, the NRC staff determined that approval of the initial and updated DFPs for the Oyster Creek
ISFSI will not significantly affect the quality of the human environment, and accordingly, the staff has concluded
that a FONSI is appropriate. The NRC staff further finds that preparation of an environmental impact statement

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Discussion
The NRC is issuing a revision to an
existing guide in the NRC’s ‘‘Regulatory
Guide’’ series. This series was
developed to describe and make
available to the public information
regarding methods that are acceptable to
PO 00000
Frm 00112
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
the NRC staff for implementing specific
parts of the agency’s regulations,
techniques that the NRC staff uses in
evaluating specific issues or postulated
events, and data that the NRC staff
needs in its review of applications for
permits and licenses.
Regulatory Guide 5.76 provides
approaches determined to be acceptable
to the NRC for meeting the requirements
described in section 73.55,
‘‘Requirements for physical protection
of licensed activities in nuclear power
reactors against radiological sabotage,’’
of title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR). Specifically, this
revision explains that a licensee may
meet the general performance objective
in 10 CFR 73.55(b)(1) to provide
reasonable assurance that ‘‘activities
involving special nuclear material are
not inimical to the common defense and
security and do not constitute an
unreasonable risk to the public health
and safety’’ by having a physical
protection program that is capable of
independently defending against the
design basis threat (DBT) of radiological
sabotage for a timeframe of at least 8
hours. This timeframe, referred to as
‘‘Reasonable Assurance of Protection
Time’’ (RAPT), recognizes the existing
layers of protection available to sites
along with how the safety and security
of the site would evolve over time
following initiation of an attack. RG
5.76, Rev. 1 has specific information for
both operating power reactors and new
reactors licensed under 10 CFR part 50
and 10 CFR part 52.
This revision of RG 5.76 (Revision 1)
incorporates lessons learned from
operating experience. Specifically, this
revision clarifies issues that have been
identified through interactions with
stakeholders and inspection activities
since the original publication of the
guide.
II. Additional Information
Regulatory Guide 5.76 contains SGI.
Accordingly, this RG is being withheld
from public disclosure. It will be made

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The NRC is considering the approval of the initial and updated
decommissioning funding plans (DFPs) submitted by ISFSI licensees. The
NRC staff has prepared a Final EA and FONSI determination for each of
the initial and updated ISFSI DFPs in accordance with the NRC
regulations in part 51 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(10 CFR), ``Environmental Protection Regulations for Domestic Licensing
and Related Regulatory Functions,'' which implement the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).
The NRC requires its licensees to plan for the eventual
decommissioning of their licensed facilities prior to license
termination. On June 17, 2011, the NRC published a final rule in the
Federal Register amending its decommissioning planning regulations (76
FR 35511). The final rule amended the NRC regulation, 10 CFR 72.30,
which concerns financial assurance and decommissioning for ISFSIs. This
regulation requires each holder of, or applicant for, a license under
10 CFR part 72 to submit a DFP for the NRC's review and approval. The
DFP is to demonstrate the licensee's financial assurance, i.e., that
funds will be available to decommission the ISFSI.
II. Discussion
The table in this notice includes the plant name, docket number,
licensee, and ADAMS Accession Number for the Final EA and FONSI
determination for each of the individual ISFSIs. The table also
includes the ADAMS Accession Number for other relevant documents,
including the initial and updated DFP submittals, as well as the
financial analyses documenting the findings of reasonable assurance
that funds will be available to decommission the ISFSIs. For further
details with respect to these actions, see the NRC staff's Final EA and
FONSI determinations and financial analyses approving the DFP, which
are available for public inspection in ADAMS and at https://www.regulations.gov under Docket ID NRC-2020-0132. For additional
direction on accessing information related to this document, see the
ADDRESSES section of this document.
Finding of No Significant Impacts
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Arkansas Nuclear One, Units 1 and 2
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Docket No........................................................ 72-13.
Licensee......................................................... Entergy Operations, Inc., currently Entergy
Nuclear Company, LLC (Entergy).
Proposed Action.................................................. The NRC's review and approval of Entergy's
initial and updated DFPs submitted in
accordance with 10 CFR 72.30(b) and (c).
Environmental Impacts of Proposed Action......................... The NRC staff has determined that the
proposed action, the review and approval of
Entergy's initial and updated DFPs,
submitted in accordance with 10 CFR 72.30(b)
and (c), will not authorize changes to
licensed operations or maintenance
activities, or result in changes in the
types, characteristics, or quantities of
radiological or non-radiological effluents
released into the environment from the
ISFSI, or result in the creation of solid
waste. Moreover, the approval of the initial
and updated DFPs will not authorize any
construction activity, facility
modification, or other land-disturbing
activity. The NRC staff has concluded that
the proposed action is a procedural and
administrative action that will not have a
significant impact on the environment.
[[Page 76615]]
Finding of No Significant Impacts................................ The proposed action does not require changes
to the ISFSI's licensed routine operations,
maintenance activities, or monitoring
programs, nor does it require new
construction or land-disturbing activities.
The scope of the proposed action concerns
only the NRC's review and approval of
Entergy's initial and updated DFPs. The
scope of the proposed action does not
include, and will not result in, the review
and approval of decontamination or
decommissioning activities or license
termination for the ISFSI or for other parts
of Arkansas Nuclear One, Units 1 and 2.
Therefore, the NRC staff determined that
approval of the initial and updated DFPs for
the Arkansas Nuclear ISFSI will not
significantly affect the quality of the
human environment, and accordingly, the
staff has concluded that a FONSI is
appropriate. The NRC staff further finds
that preparation of an environmental impact
statement (EIS) is not required.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Docket No........................................................ 72-68.
Licensee......................................................... Exelon Generation Co., LLC (EGC or Exelon).
Proposed Action.................................................. The NRC's review and approval of Exelon's
initial and updated DFPs submitted in
accordance with 10 CFR 72.30(b) and (c).
Environmental Impacts of Proposed Action......................... The NRC staff has determined that the
proposed action, the review and approval of
Exelon's initial and updated DFPs, submitted
in accordance with 10 CFR 72.30(b) and (c),
will not authorize changes to licensed
operations or maintenance activities, or
result in changes in the types,
characteristics, or quantities of
radiological or non-radiological effluents
released into the environment from the
ISFSI, or result in the creation of solid
waste. Moreover, the approval of the initial
and updated DFPs will not authorize any
construction activity, facility
modification, or other land-disturbing
activity. The NRC staff has concluded that
the proposed action is a procedural and
administrative action that will not have a
significant impact on the environment.
Finding of No Significant Impacts................................ The proposed action does not require changes
to the ISFSI's licensed routine operations,
maintenance activities, or monitoring
programs, nor does it require new
construction or land-disturbing activities.
The scope of the proposed action concerns
only the NRC's review and approval of
Exelon's initial and updated DFPs. The scope
of the proposed action does not include, and
will not result in, the review and approval
of decontamination or decommissioning
activities or license termination for the
ISFSI or for other parts of Byron [Station],
Units 1 and 2. Therefore, the NRC staff
determined that approval of the initial and
updated DFPs for the Byron ISFSI will not
significantly affect the quality of the
human environment, and accordingly, the
staff has concluded that a FONSI is
appropriate. The NRC staff further finds
that preparation of an environmental impact
statement (EIS) is not required.

Docket No........................................................ 72-1036.
Licensee......................................................... Exelon Generation Co., LLC (EGC or Exelon)
and Constellation Energy Nuclear Group, LLC
(CENG).
Proposed Action.................................................. The NRC's review and approval of CENG's
initial and Exelon's updated DFPs submitted
in accordance with 10 CFR 72.30(b) and (c).
Environmental Impacts of Proposed Action......................... The NRC staff has determined that the
proposed action, the review and approval of
CENG's initial and Exelon's updated DFPs,
submitted in accordance with 10 CFR 72.30(b)
and (c), will not authorize changes to
licensed operations or maintenance
activities, or result in changes in the
types, characteristics, or quantities of
radiological or non-radiological effluents
released into the environment from the
ISFSI, or result in the creation of solid
waste. Moreover, the approval of the initial
and updated DFPs will not authorize any
construction activity, facility
modification, or other land-disturbing
activity. The NRC staff has concluded that
the proposed action is a procedural and
administrative action that will not have a
significant impact on the environment.
Finding of No Significant Impacts................................ The proposed action does not require changes
to the ISFSI's licensed routine operations,
maintenance activities, or monitoring
programs, nor does it require new
construction or land-disturbing activities.
The scope of the proposed action concerns
only the NRC's review and approval of CENG's
initial and EGC's updated DFPs. The scope of
the proposed action does not include, and
will not result in, the review and approval
of decontamination or decommissioning
activities or license termination for the
ISFSI or for other parts of Nine Mile Point
Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2. Therefore,
the NRC staff determined that approval of
the initial and updated DFPs for the Nine
Mile Point ISFSI will not significantly
affect the quality of the human environment,
and accordingly, the staff has concluded
that a FONSI is appropriate. The NRC staff
further finds that preparation of an
environmental impact statement (EIS) is not
required.

Proposed Action.................................................. The NRC's review and approval of Exelon's
initial and updated DFPs submitted in
accordance with 10 CFR 72.30(b) and (c).
Environmental Impacts of Proposed Action......................... The NRC staff has determined that the
proposed action, the review and approval of
Exelon's initial and updated DFPs, submitted
in accordance with 10 CFR 72.30(b) and (c),
will not authorize changes to licensed
operations or maintenance activities, or
result in changes in the types,
characteristics, or quantities of
radiological or non-radiological effluents
released into the environment from the
ISFSI, or result in the creation of solid
waste. Moreover, the approval of the initial
and updated DFPs will not authorize any
construction activity, facility
modification, or other land-disturbing
activity. The NRC staff has concluded that
the proposed action is a procedural and
administrative action that will not have a
significant impact on the environment.
Finding of No Significant Impacts................................ The proposed action does not require changes
to the ISFSI's licensed routine operations,
maintenance activities, or monitoring
programs, nor does it require new
construction or land-disturbing activities.
The scope of the proposed action concerns
only the NRC's review and approval of
Exelon's initial and updated DFPs. The scope
of the proposed action does not include, and
will not result in, the review and approval
of decontamination or decommissioning
activities or license termination for the
ISFSI or for other parts of Zion Nuclear
Power Station, Units 1 and 2. Therefore, the
NRC staff determined that approval of the
initial and updated DFPs for the Zion ISFSI
will not significantly affect the quality of
the human environment, and accordingly, the
staff has concluded that a FONSI is
appropriate. The NRC staff further finds
that preparation of an environmental impact
statement (EIS) is not required.
