Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 191 / Wednesday, October 2, 2024 / Notices 80269 

evaluated data on submitted and 

retracted events and held a public 

meeting on August 9, 2023 (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML23270B927), to 

discuss section 3.2.4 of NUREG 1022 

with stakeholders. 

The NRC published a notice in the 

Federal Register on April 17, 2024 (89 

FR 27463) requesting public comment 

on draft Supplement 2 to NUREG 1022, 

Revision 3 (ADAMS Package Accession 

No. ML24036A109). The public 

comment period closed on June 17, 

2024. The NRC received two public 

comments. The public comments and 

the NRC staff’s responses are presented 

in a comment resolution memo 

available in ADAMS under Accession 

No. ML24197A131. 

NUREG–1022, Revision 3, 

Supplement 2 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML24191A376), provides updated 

guidance for nuclear power reactor 

licensees and can be used for evaluating 

and reporting degraded or unanalyzed 

conditions as described in 10 CFR 

50.72(b)(3)(ii) and 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(ii). 

The specific guidance included in 

Supplement 2 supersedes the guidance 

found in section 3.2.4 of NUREG–1022, 

Revision 3. 

II. Backfitting, Forward Fitting, and 

Issue Finality 

Issuance of NUREG–1022, Revision 3, 

Supplement 2, does not constitute 

backfitting as defined in 10 CFR 50.109, 

‘‘Backfitting,’’ and as described in NRC 

Management Directive (MD) 8.4, 

‘‘Management of Backfitting, Forward 

Fitting, Issue Finality, and Information 

Requests’’; affect issue finality of any 

approval issued under 10 CFR part 52, 

‘‘Licenses, Certificates, and Approvals 

for Nuclear Power Plants’’; or constitute 

forward fitting as defined in MD 8.4, 

because licensees are not required to 

comply with the guidance in 

Supplement 2. 

III. Congressional Review Act 

NUREG–1022, Revision 3, 

Supplement 2, is a rule as defined in the 

Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 

801–808). However, the Office of 

Management and Budget has not found 

it to be a major rule as defined in the 

Congressional Review Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

By letter dated November 16, 2020 

(ADAMS Package Accession No. 

ML20329A292), NextEra submitted to 

the NRC an application for the SLR of 

Renewed Facility Operating License 

Nos. DPR–24 and DPR–27 for Point 

Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, 

respectively, for an additional 20 years 

of operation. This submission initiated 

the NRC’s proposed action of 

determining whether to issue the 

subsequent renewed facility operating 

licenses. Point Beach is located in 

northeastern Manitowoc County, 

Wisconsin, approximately 29 miles 

southeast of Green Bay, Wisconsin. 

The current facility operating license 

for Point Beach, Unit 1, expires at 

midnight on October 5, 2030, and the 

current facility operating license for 

Point Beach, Unit 2 expires at midnight 

on March 8, 2033. 

The SLR application was submitted 

pursuant to part 54 of title 10 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), 

‘‘Requirements for Renewal of Operating 

Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants,’’ and 

included an environmental report. The 

applicant seeks to extend the facility 

operating license for Unit 1 to midnight 

on October 5, 2050, and for Unit 2 to 

midnight on March 8, 2053. A notice of 

acceptance for docketing of the 

application and of an opportunity to 

request a hearing was published in the 

Federal Register on January 22, 2021 

(86 FR 6684). Thereafter, a notice of 

intent to prepare an environmental 

impact statement and conduct a scoping 

process was published in the Federal 

Register on February 1, 2021 (86 FR 

7747) and is available on the Federal 

rulemaking website (https://

www.regulations.gov) by searching for 

Docket ID NRC–2020–0277. 

On November 9, 2021, a notice was 

published in the Federal Register (86 

FR 62220), stating that the NRC staff had 

issued its draft SEIS, documenting its 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
80270 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 191 / Wednesday, October 2, 2024 / Notices 

preliminary analysis and 

recommendation on the proposed action 

(subsequent license renewal) for Point 

Beach. The draft SEIS is available in 

ADAMS under Package Accession No. 

ML21306A226. 

II. Discussion 

On August 6, 2024, the NRC 

published a final rule (89 FR 64166) 

revising its environmental protection 

regulations in 10 CFR part 51, 

‘‘Environmental protection regulations 

for domestic licensing and related 

regulatory functions.’’ The final rule 

updates the potential environmental 

impacts associated with the renewal of 

an operating license for a nuclear power 

plant for up to an additional 20 years, 

for either an initial license renewal or a 

single SLR term. Revision 2 to NUREG– 

1437, ‘‘Generic Environmental Impact 

Statement for License Renewal of 

Nuclear Plants’’ (LR GEIS) (ADAMS 

Package Accession No. ML24087A133) 

provides the technical basis for the final 

rule. The revised LR GEIS supports the 

updated list of environmental issues 

and associated environmental impact 

findings contained in Table B–1 in 

Appendix B to Subpart A of the revised 

10 CFR part 51 for both initial license 

renewal and a single term of SLR. 

The final rule became effective 30 

days after its publication in the Federal 

Register, and the NRC staff must 

consider the new and modified issues, 

as applicable, in its license renewal EISs 

after that date (i.e., on or after 

September 5, 2024). Accordingly, the 

NRC staff will prepare a supplement to 

the 2021 draft SEIS for the Point Beach 

SLR application in accordance with the 

NRC’s regulations in 10 CFR 51.72, to 

address new information since the draft 

SEIS was published. This new 

information includes the new and 

modified environmental issues 

associated with the NRC’s August 2024 

publication of the final rule, ‘‘Renewing 

Nuclear Power Plant Operating 

Licenses—Environmental Review’’ (89 

FR 64166) and revised LR GEIS 

(NUREG–1437, Revision 2).
