finding of no historic properties effected
within the area of potential effect
associated with this undertaking
pursuant to Section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act. DOE also sent
a NEPA notice regarding the proposed
Federal financial assistance for the
general restoration and maintenance
activities at PNP to Federally recognized
Native American Tribes in the area or
with indigenous ties to the area to
identify Tribal interest and provide an
opportunity to make comments or
express concerns. Additionally, each
Tribe was contacted by telephone to
ensure receipt and respond to any
immediate questions or concerns. No
immediate questions or concerns were
relayed by the Tribes.
By letter dated, May 23, 2024, the US
FWS confirmed consultation was not
needed for the project based on the ‘‘no
effect’’ and ‘‘not likely to adversely
affect’’ (NLAA) determinations of the
following threatened and endangered
species located in the vicinity of PNP:
Eastern Massasauga rattlesnake
(Sistrurus catenatus)-NLAA; Indiana Bat
(Myotis soldalis)-no effect; Mitchell’s
Satyr Butterfly (Neonympha mitchellii
mitchellii)-no effect; Monarch Butterfly
(Danaus plexippus)-no effect; Piping
Plover (Charadruis melodus)-NLAA;
Pitcher’s Thistle (Cirsium pitcher)NLAA; Rufa Red Know (Calidris
canutus rufa)-NLAA; Tricolored Bat
(Perimyotis subflavus)-no effect; and
Whooping Crane (Grus americana)-no
effect. Finally, through its review, DOE
determined that NRC completed the
Coastal Zone Management Act Federal
Consistency Certification, which is
documented in Appendix E of Final
DOE/EIS–0562. Hence, DOE has
fulfilled its consultation responsibilities
under NHPA and ESA for restoration
and maintenance activities related to the
general restoration and maintenance
activities of PNP.
Final DOE/EIS–0562 Review Period:
The Notice of Availability of the Final
DOE/EIS–0562 and the Adoption Notice
were published in the Federal Register
on March 1, 2024 (89 FR 15199). The
review period of the EIS was from
March 1 to April 1, 2024. DOE received
one submittal from the public during
the review period. The inquiry
requested information regarding the
LPO’s NEPA process, a copy of project
documentation, and a DOE point of
contact for the project. DOE provided
the requested information, and has
concluded that no new information or
circumstances has been submitted that
would warrant preparation of a
supplemental EIS, or show that the
Project would affect the quality of the
human environment not already

encompassed by the analysis considered
in the Final DOE/EIS–0562, or
considered in the preparation of this
ROD.
Decision: DOE has decided to issue a
loan guarantee to Holtec Palisades, LLC
for the general restoration and
maintenance activities in support of
repowering PNP, an 800–MW electric
nuclear generation station in Covert
Township, Michigan. The Project would
entail the general restoration and
maintenance activities in support of
repowering PNP in accordance with the
existing NRC Renewed Facility
Operating License Number DPR–20.
Approval of the loan guarantee responds
to the DOE purpose and need pursuant
to Section 1706 of EPAct 2005, as
amended, specifically the Energy
Infrastructure Reinvestment Program.
DOE’s Proposed Action evaluated in
this ROD supports the general
restoration and maintenance activities at
PNP analyzed within the Final DOE/
EIS–0562. Activities associated with
PNP refueling, repowering and
operations to 2031, and operation from
2031–2051 (via SLR) are not yet ripe for
environmental analysis or decisions, are
not the subject of this ROD, and will be
the subject of current and future NRC
and DOE environmental reviews.
Mitigation: All DOE loan guarantee
agreements require that the borrower
comply with all applicable
environmental laws and related
requirements. For the Project, this
would include conditions and
requirements related to authorizations
and approvals within the NRC’s 2006
ROD, all permits and consultations
identified in Appendix E of the Final
DOE EIS–0562. A borrower’s failure to
comply with applicable laws,
authorizations, and approvals may
constitute a default, upon which DOE
would have the right under the loan
guarantee agreement to exercise usual
and customary remedies. To ensure that
the borrower complies with the
requirements of the loan guarantee
agreement, the Loan Programs Office
proactively monitors and administers all
operative loan guarantee transactions for
the lifetime of the loan.
