facilities that are either in design or 

construction. These stages require the 

highest level of reporting and 

management documentation per the 

Major Facilities Guide. NSF estimates 

there will be four (4) mid-scale projects 

in progress at a given time. 

Burden to the Public: The Foundation 

estimates that approximately five (5) 

Full Time Equivalents (FTE’s) are 

necessary for each major facility project 

in design or construction to respond to 

NSF performance and financial 

reporting and project management 

documentation requirements on an 

annual basis; or 10,400 hours per year. 

The Foundation estimates 

approximately one and half (1.5) FTE 

for a major facility in operations to 

respond to NSF performance and 

financial reporting on an annual basis; 

or 3,120 hours per year. For mid-scale 

projects, the Foundation estimates 

approximately one (1) Full Time 

Equivalent (FTE’s) is necessary for each 

mid-scale project to respond to NSF 

project management documentation 

requirements on an annual basis; or 

2,080 hours per year. With seven (7) 

major facilities in design or construction 

and twenty-one (21) in operations and 

four (4) mid-scale projects, this equates 

to roughly 150,000 public burden hours 

annually.

II. Discussion 

Entergy is the holder of Renewed 

Facility Operating License No. DPR–35 

for Pilgrim. The license provides, among 

other things, that the facility is subject 

to all rules, regulations, and orders of 

the NRC now or hereafter in effect. The 

facility consists of one boiling-water 

reactor located in Plymouth, 

Massachusetts. By letter dated 

November 10, 2015 (ADAMS Accession 

No. ML15328A053), the licensee 

submitted Notification of Permanent 

Cessation of Power Operations for 

Pilgrim. In this letter, Entergy notified 

the NRC of its intent to permanently 

cease operations at Pilgrim no later than 

June 1, 2019. 

On November 16, 2018, Entergy 

submitted the PSDAR including and the 

DCE for Pilgrim in accordance with 

§ 50.82(a)(4)(i) of Title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (ADAMS Accession 

No. ML18320A034). The PSDAR 

includes a description of the planned 

decommissioning activities, a proposed 

schedule for their accomplishment, the 

DCE, and a discussion that provides the 

basis for concluding that the 

environmental impacts associated with 

the site-specific decommissioning 

activities will be bounded by 

appropriate, previously issued generic 

and plant-specific environmental 

impact statements. 

III. Request for Comment and Public 

Meeting 

The NRC is requesting public 

comments on the PSDAR including the 

DCE for Pilgrim. The NRC will conduct 

a public meeting to discuss the PSDAR 

including the DCE and receive 

comments on Tuesday, January 15, 

2019, from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m., at the 

Hotel 1620, 180 Water Street, Plymouth, 

Massachusetts 02360. The NRC requests 

that comments that are not provided 

during the meeting be submitted as 

noted in section I, ‘‘Obtaining
