SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The NRC is considering the approval 

of the DFPs for the Diablo Canyon ISFSI. 

PGEC submitted an initial DFP and an 

updated DFP for NRC review and 

approval by letters dated December 17, 

2012 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML12353A315), and December 17, 2015 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML15351A502), 

respectively. The NRC staff has 

prepared a final EA (ADAMS Accession 

No. ML18131A047) in support of its 

review of PGEC’s 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 implements the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et 

seq.). Based on the EA, the NRC staff has 

determined that approval of the DFPs 

for the Diablo Canyon 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 is not warranted. 

II. Environmental Assessment 

Background 

The Diablo Canyon ISFSI is located in 

Avila Beach, California. PGEC is 

authorized by the NRC, under License 

No. SNM–2511, to store spent nuclear 

fuel at the Diablo Canyon ISFSI. 

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 35512). The 

final rule amended the NRC regulation, 

10 CFR 72.30, which concerns financial 

assurance and decommissioning for 

ISFSIs. This regulation now requires 

each holder of, or applicant for, a 

license under 10 CFR part 72 to submit, 

for NRC review and approval, a DFP. 

The purpose of the DFP is to 

demonstrate the licensee’s financial 

assurance (i.e., that funds will be 

available to decommission the ISFSI). 

The NRC staff is reviewing the DFPs 

submitted by PGEC on December 13, 

2012, and December 17, 2015. 

Specifically, the NRC must determine 

whether PGEC’s DFPs contain the 

information required by §§ 72.30(b) and 

(c), and whether PGEC has provided 

reasonable assurance that funds will be 

available to decommission the ISFSI. 

Description of the Proposed Action 

The proposed action is the NRC’s 

review and approval of PGEC’s DFPs 

submitted in accordance with 

§§ 72.30(b) and (c). To approve the 

DFPs, the NRC will evaluate whether 

the decommissioning cost estimate 

adequately estimates the cost to conduct 

the required ISFSI decommissioning 

activities prior to license termination,
