SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing for

Unit 1. The RBS is located in West Feliciana Parish, Louisiana. 
Possible alternatives to the proposed action (license renewal) include 
no action and reasonable alternative energy sources.

II. Discussion

    The NRC is issuing for public comment a draft plant-specific 
Supplement 58 to the GEIS for license renewal of nuclear plants, NUREG-
1437, regarding the renewal of operating license NPF-47 for an 
additional 20 years of operation for RBS. Supplement 58 to the GEIS 
includes the preliminary analysis that evaluates the environmental 
impacts of the proposed action and alternatives to the proposed action. 
The NRC's preliminary recommendation is that the adverse environmental 
impacts of license renewal for RBS are not so great that preserving the 
option of license renewal for energy-planning decisionmakers would be 
unreasonable.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 1st day of June 2018.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
David M. Drucker,
Acting Chief, License Renewal Projects Branch, Division of Materials 
and License Renewal, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
