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 35512). 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
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–2021–0074. For

The NRC’s review and approval of Florida Power & Light Company’s initial and NextEra Energy’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 Florida
Power & Light Company’s initial and NextEra Energy’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 landdisturbing activities. The scope of the proposed action concerns only the NRC’s review and
approval of Florida Power & Light Company’s initial and NextEra Energy’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 Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Units 3 and 4. Therefore, the NRC
staff determined that approval of the initial and updated DFPs for the Turkey Point Nuclear
Generating Units 3 and 4 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 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 landdisturbing activities. The scope of the proposed action concerns only the NRC’s review and
approval of Florida Power & Light Company’s initial and NextEra Energy’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 Seabrook Station Unit No. 1. Therefore, the NRC staff determined that

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 35512). 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 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-2021-0074. For
additional direction on accessing information related to this document,
see the ADDRESSES section of this document.
Finding of No Significant Impact
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Facility..................... Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Units 3
and 4.
Docket No.................... 72-62.
Licensee..................... Florida Power & Light Company.
Proposed Action.............. The NRC's review and approval of Florida
Power & Light Company's initial and
NextEra Energy's updated DFPs submitted
in accordance with 10 CFR 72.30(b) and
(c).
Environmental Impact of The NRC staff has determined that the
Proposed Action. proposed action, the review and approval
of Florida Power & Light Company's
initial and NextEra Energy'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.
[[Page 23753]]
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 Florida Power & Light
Company's initial and NextEra Energy'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 Turkey
Point Nuclear Generating Units 3 and 4.
Therefore, the NRC staff determined that
approval of the initial and updated DFPs
for the Turkey Point Nuclear Generating
Units 3 and 4 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. proposed action, the review and approval
of Florida Power & Light Company's
initial and NextEra Energy'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

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 Florida Power & Light
Company's initial and NextEra Energy'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 Seabrook
Station Unit No. 1. Therefore, the NRC
staff determined that approval of the
initial and updated DFPs for the
Seabrook Station Unit No. 1 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.
