SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The NRC is considering the approval
of the initial and updated 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.
The NRC staff will later publish its
financial analyses of the DFP submittals
which will be available for public
inspection in ADAMS.
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
Numbers for other relevant documents,
including the initial and updated DFP
E:\FR\FM\30APN1.SGM

determinations which are available for
public inspection in ADAMS and at
https://www.regulations.gov under
Docket ID NRC–2021–0056. For

PPL Susquehanna, LLC; currently Susquehanna Nuclear, LLC.
The NRC’s review and approval of PPL Susquehanna LLC’s initial and Susquehanna Nuclear LLC’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 PPL Susquehanna
LLC’s initial and Susquehanna Nuclear LLC’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 PPL Susquehanna LLC’s
initial and Susquehanna Nuclear LLC’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 Susquehanna Steam Electric Station. Therefore, the
NRC staff determined that approval of the initial and updated DFPs for the Susquehanna Steam Electric
Station 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The NRC is considering the approval of the initial and updated 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. The NRC staff will
later publish its financial analyses of the DFP submittals which will
be available for public inspection in ADAMS.
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 Numbers for other relevant documents,
including the initial and updated DFP
[[Page 22979]]
submittals. For further details with respect to these actions, see the
NRC staff's final EA and FONSI determinations which are available for
public inspection in ADAMS and at https://www.regulations.gov under
Docket ID NRC-2021-0056. For additional direction on accessing
information related to this document, see the ADDRESSES section of this
document.

Environmental Impact of The NRC staff has determined that the
Proposed Action. proposed action, the review and approval
of Duke Energy's initial and updated
DFPs, submitted in accordance with 10
CFR 72.30(b) and (c), will not authorize
or 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 The proposed action does not require
Impact. 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 Duke Energy's 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 the Oconee Nuclear Station.
Therefore, the NRC staff determined that
approval of the initial and updated DFPs
for the Oconee Nuclear Station 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.
