DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Record of Decision for the Final
Environmental Impact Statement for
the Civil Nuclear Credit Program
Proposed Award of Credits to Pacific
Gas and Electric Company for Diablo
Canyon Power Plant
Grid Deployment Office; U.S.
Department of Energy.
ACTION: Record of decision.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) announces its decision to
award credits to Pacific Gas and Electric
Company (PG&E) under the Civil
Nuclear Credit (CNC) Program for the
continued operation of Diablo Canyon
Power Plant Units 1 and 2 (DCPP) under
DCPP’s current operating licenses
issued by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC). This decision is
pursuant to the Final Environmental
Impact Statement for the Civil Nuclear
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
15:59 Dec 29, 2023
Jkt 262001
Credit Program Proposed Award of
Credits to Pacific Gas and Electric
Company for Diablo Canyon Power
Plant (DOE/EIS–0555). DCPP is an
existing commercial nuclear power
plant located in San Luis Obispo
County, California. PG&E will be
eligible to receive payments from the
first award cycle of funding from the
CNC Program over a four-year award
period (January 2023–December 2026),
subject to PG&E’s satisfaction of the
applicable payment terms and NRC
license extension approvals. The action
being taken by DOE does not change the
operational configuration (i.e., the way
PG&E operates the plant) of the facility.
The action awards credits to PG&E to
help DCPP to continue to operate under
the existing NRC approved licenses and
programs. Payments of credits are
expected to occur annually beginning in
2025 and will be paid retroactively to
compensate PG&E for DCPP operations
in the prior year(s).

this record of decision (ROD), contact

Energy, Idaho Operations Office, 1955

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
DOE’s mission ensures America’s
security and prosperity by addressing its
energy, environmental, and nuclear
challenges through transformative
science and technology solutions. As
PO 00000
Frm 00027
Fmt 4703

described at www.energy.gov/gdo/civilnuclear-credit-program, the CNC
Program was established on November
15, 2021, when President Biden signed
the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs
Act (IIJA) (Pub. L. 117–58), also known
as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law,
into law. Section 40323 of the IIJA (42
U.S.C. 18753) provides $6 billion to
establish a program to award civil
nuclear credits. The CNC Program is a
strategic investment to help preserve the
existing U.S. commercial power reactor
fleet and save thousands of high-paying
jobs across the country.
Under the CNC Program, owners or
operators of U.S. commercial power
reactors can apply for certification to
bid on credits to support nuclear
reactors’ continued operation. An
application must demonstrate that the
nuclear reactor is projected to close for
economic reasons and that closure will
lead to a rise in air pollutants and
carbon emissions, among other
conditions. An owner or operator of a
certified nuclear reactor whose bid for
credits is selected by DOE is then
eligible to receive payments from the
Federal Government in the amount of
the credits awarded to the owner or
operator, provided it continues to
operate the nuclear reactor for the fouryear award period (for DCPP, January
2023 to December 2026) and subject to
its satisfaction of other specified
payment terms. PG&E submitted its
application for certification and its bid
for credits under the CNC Program on
September 9, 2022. DOE made a
conditional award of credits to PG&E on
November 21, 2022.
NEPA requires Federal agencies to
evaluate the environmental impacts of
proposals for major Federal actions with
the potential to significantly affect the
quality of the human environment.
Awarding credits for continued
operation of a commercial nuclear
power reactor under the CNC Program is
subject to NEPA. Therefore, DOE
conducted a review of the existing
NEPA documentation for continued
operation of the DCPP reactors in
accordance with the Council on
Environmental Quality (CEQ) and DOE
NEPA regulations, 40 CFR 1506.3 and
10 CFR 1021.200(d), respectively. DOE
also considered non-NEPA documents,
such as available licensing basis
documents, the 2021 Safety Analysis
Report, Federal and State permits, site
reports and documents, and relevant
public information to inform DOE’s
evaluation of the existing NEPA
documents.
