SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The NRC is considering the approval 

of the initial and updated 

decommissioning funding plans (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. 

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 

Number for other relevant documents, 

including the initial and updated DFP 

submittals, as well as the financial 

analyses documenting the findings of 

reasonable assurance that funds will be 

available to decommission the ISFSIs. 

For further details with respect to these 

actions, see the NRC staff’s Final EA and 

FONSI determinations and financial 

analyses approving the DFP, which are 

available for public inspection in 

ADAMS and at https://

www.regulations.gov under Docket ID 

NRC–2020–0132. For additional

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS

Arkansas Nuclear One, Units 1 and 2 

Docket No. .......................................................... 72–13. 

Licensee ............................................................. Entergy Operations, Inc., currently Entergy Nuclear Company, LLC (Entergy). 

Proposed Action ................................................. The NRC’s review and approval of Entergy’s initial and updated DFPs submitted in accordance with 10 CFR 

72.30(b) and (c). 

Environmental Impacts of Proposed Action ....... The NRC staff has determined that the proposed action, the review and approval of Entergy’s initial and 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.

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 230 / Monday, November 30, 2020 / Notices 76615 

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS—Continued 

Finding of No Significant Impacts ...................... 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 Entergy’s initial and 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 Arkansas Nuclear One, Units 1 and 2. 

Therefore, the NRC staff determined that approval of the initial and updated DFPs for the Arkansas Nuclear 

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.

Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2 

Docket No. .......................................................... 72–08. 

Licensee ............................................................. Exelon Generation Co., LLC (EGC or Exelon) and Constellation Energy Nuclear Group, LLC (CENG). 

Proposed Action ................................................. The NRC’s review and approval of CENG’s initial and Exelon’s updated DFPs submitted in accordance with 10 

CFR 72.30(b) and (c). 

Environmental Impacts of Proposed Action ....... The NRC staff has determined that the proposed action, the review and approval of CENG’s initial and Exelon’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. 

Finding of No Significant Impacts ...................... 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 CENG’s initial and Exelon’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 Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power 

Plant, Units 1 and 2. Therefore, the NRC staff determined that approval of CENG’s initial and Exelon’s updated 

DFPs for the Calvert Cliffs 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.

Licensee ............................................................. Exelon Generation Co., LLC (ECG or Exelon). 

Proposed Action ................................................. The NRC’s review and approval of Exelon initial DFP submitted in accordance with 10 CFR 72.30(b). 

Environmental Impacts of Proposed Action ....... The NRC staff has determined that the proposed action, the review and approval of Exelon’s initial DFP, submitted 

in accordance with 10 CFR 72.30(b), 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 DFP 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 Impacts ...................... The proposed action does not require changes to the ISFSI’s licensed routine operations, maintenance activities, or

action concerns only the NRC’s review and approval of Exelon’s initial DFP. 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 Clinton Power Station, Unit 1. Therefore, the NRC staff 

determined that approval of the initial DFP for the Clinton 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.

Docket No. .......................................................... 72–15. 

Licensee ............................................................. Exelon Generation Co., LLC (EGC or Exelon). 

Proposed Action ................................................. The NRC’s review and approval of Exelon’s initial and updated DFPs submitted in accordance with 10 CFR 

72.30(b) and (c). 

Environmental Impacts of Proposed Action ....... The NRC staff has determined that the proposed action, the review and approval of Exelon’s initial and 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. 

Finding of No Significant Impacts ...................... 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 Exelon’s initial and 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 Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station. Therefore, the NRC staff determined that approval of the initial and updated DFPs for the Oyster Creek 

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. Discussion 

The NRC is issuing a revision to an 

existing guide in the NRC’s ‘‘Regulatory 

Guide’’ series. This series was 

developed to describe and make 

available to the public information 

regarding methods that are acceptable to 

the NRC staff for implementing specific 

parts of the agency’s regulations, 

techniques that the NRC staff uses in 

evaluating specific issues or postulated 

events, and data that the NRC staff 

needs in its review of applications for 

permits and licenses. 

Regulatory Guide 5.76 provides 

approaches determined to be acceptable 

to the NRC for meeting the requirements 

described in section 73.55, 

‘‘Requirements for physical protection 

of licensed activities in nuclear power 

reactors against radiological sabotage,’’ 

of title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR). Specifically, this 

revision explains that a licensee may 

meet the general performance objective 

in 10 CFR 73.55(b)(1) to provide 

reasonable assurance that ‘‘activities 

involving special nuclear material are 

not inimical to the common defense and 

security and do not constitute an 

unreasonable risk to the public health 

and safety’’ by having a physical 

protection program that is capable of 

independently defending against the 

design basis threat (DBT) of radiological 

sabotage for a timeframe of at least 8 

hours. This timeframe, referred to as 

‘‘Reasonable Assurance of Protection 

Time’’ (RAPT), recognizes the existing 

layers of protection available to sites 

along with how the safety and security 

of the site would evolve over time 

following initiation of an attack. RG 

5.76, Rev. 1 has specific information for 

both operating power reactors and new 

reactors licensed under 10 CFR part 50 

and 10 CFR part 52. 

This revision of RG 5.76 (Revision 1) 

incorporates lessons learned from 

operating experience. Specifically, this 

revision clarifies issues that have been 

identified through interactions with 

stakeholders and inspection activities 

since the original publication of the 

guide.
