BILLING CODE 3510–22–P 

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Record of Decision for the Final 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the Civil Nuclear Credit Program 

Proposed Award of Credits to Pacific 

Gas and Electric Company for Diablo 

Canyon Power Plant 

AGENCY: Grid Deployment Office; U.S. 

Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Record of decision. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Energy (DOE) announces its decision to 

award credits to Pacific Gas and Electric 

Company (PG&E) under the Civil 

Nuclear Credit (CNC) Program for the 

continued operation of Diablo Canyon 

Power Plant Units 1 and 2 (DCPP) under 

DCPP’s current operating licenses 

issued by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC). This decision is 

pursuant to the Final Environmental 

Impact Statement for the Civil Nuclear 

Credit Program Proposed Award of 

Credits to Pacific Gas and Electric 

Company for Diablo Canyon Power 

Plant (DOE/EIS–0555). DCPP is an 

existing commercial nuclear power 

plant located in San Luis Obispo 

County, California. PG&E will be 

eligible to receive payments from the 

first award cycle of funding from the 

CNC Program over a four-year award 

period (January 2023–December 2026), 

subject to PG&E’s satisfaction of the 

applicable payment terms and NRC 

license extension approvals. The action 

being taken by DOE does not change the 

operational configuration (i.e., the way 

PG&E operates the plant) of the facility. 

The action awards credits to PG&E to 

help DCPP to continue to operate under 

the existing NRC approved licenses and 

programs. Payments of credits are 

expected to occur annually beginning in 

2025 and will be paid retroactively to 

compensate PG&E for DCPP operations 

in the prior year(s).

this record of decision (ROD), contact

Energy, Idaho Operations Office, 1955

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

DOE’s mission ensures America’s 

security and prosperity by addressing its 

energy, environmental, and nuclear 

challenges through transformative 

science and technology solutions. As 

described at www.energy.gov/gdo/civilnuclear-credit-program, the CNC 

Program was established on November 

15, 2021, when President Biden signed 

the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs 

Act (IIJA) (Pub. L. 117–58), also known 

as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, 

into law. Section 40323 of the IIJA (42 

U.S.C. 18753) provides $6 billion to 

establish a program to award civil 

nuclear credits. The CNC Program is a 

strategic investment to help preserve the 

existing U.S. commercial power reactor 

fleet and save thousands of high-paying 

jobs across the country. 

Under the CNC Program, owners or 

operators of U.S. commercial power 

reactors can apply for certification to 

bid on credits to support nuclear 

reactors’ continued operation. An 

application must demonstrate that the 

nuclear reactor is projected to close for 

economic reasons and that closure will 

lead to a rise in air pollutants and 

carbon emissions, among other 

conditions. An owner or operator of a 

certified nuclear reactor whose bid for 

credits is selected by DOE is then 

eligible to receive payments from the 

Federal Government in the amount of 

the credits awarded to the owner or 

operator, provided it continues to 

operate the nuclear reactor for the fouryear award period (for DCPP, January 

2023 to December 2026) and subject to 

its satisfaction of other specified 

payment terms. PG&E submitted its 

application for certification and its bid 

for credits under the CNC Program on 

September 9, 2022. DOE made a 

conditional award of credits to PG&E on 

November 21, 2022. 

NEPA requires Federal agencies to 

evaluate the environmental impacts of 

proposals for major Federal actions with 

the potential to significantly affect the 

quality of the human environment. 

Awarding credits for continued 

operation of a commercial nuclear 

power reactor under the CNC Program is 

subject to NEPA. Therefore, DOE 

conducted a review of the existing 

NEPA documentation for continued 

operation of the DCPP reactors in 

accordance with the Council on 

Environmental Quality (CEQ) and DOE 

NEPA regulations, 40 CFR 1506.3 and 

10 CFR 1021.200(d), respectively. DOE 

also considered non-NEPA documents, 

such as available licensing basis 

documents, the 2021 Safety Analysis 

Report, Federal and State permits, site 

reports and documents, and relevant 

public information to inform DOE’s 

evaluation of the existing NEPA 

documents.
