II. Discussion 

On August 6, 2024, the NRC 

published a final rule in the Federal 

Register (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 one 

period of SLR. 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 

renewals and one period of SLR. 

The final rule became effective 30 

days after its publication in the Federal 

Register (i.e., on September 5, 2024), 

and staff must now consider the new 

and modified issues, as applicable, in its 

license renewal EISs. Accordingly, the 

NRC staff intends to prepare a 

supplement to the LR GEIS for the 

Browns Ferry SLR application. In 

contrast to the previously planned sitespecific EIS, the SEIS will rely on the 

LR GEIS determinations for Category 1 

(generic) issues that apply to all or a 

distinct subset of nuclear power plants. 

Site-specific information will be 

considered only on Category 2 (sitespecific) issues and will be screened for 

new and significant information on 

Category 1 issues. 

The NRC staff has determined that the 

original scoping period conducted for a 

site-specific EIS review is sufficient to 

include any comments that would have 

been submitted for a SEIS that relies on 

site-specific determinations for Category 

2 issues and on the LR GEIS generic 

determinations for Category 1 issues; 

therefore, an additional scoping period 

will not be conducted. All information 

submitted during the 30-day scoping 

period that began April 3, 2024, will be 

considered and evaluated as appropriate 

during the development of the staff’s 

SEIS for the Browns Ferry SLR. When 

issued, the draft SEIS will be made 

available for public comment in 

accordance with 10 CFR 51.73. 

Dated: October 16, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Sections 

4233(a) and (b) of the Employee 

Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 

(ERISA) allow a plan sponsor of a 

multiemployer plan to apply to PBGC 

for a partition of the plan and state the 

criteria that PBGC uses to determine a 

plan’s eligibility for a partition. 

PBGC’s regulation on Partitions of 

Eligible Multiemployer Plans (29 CFR 

part 4233) sets forth the procedures for 

applying for a partition, the information 

required to be included in a partition 

application, and notices to interested 

parties of the application. 

PBGC needs the information to 

determine whether a plan is eligible for 

partition and whether a proposed 

partition would comply with the 

statutory conditions required before 

PBGC may order a partition. 

The collection of information under 

the regulation has been approved by 

OMB control number 1212–0068 

(expires January 31, 2025). On July 22, 

2024, PBGC published in the Federal 

Register (at 89 FR 59173) a notice 

informing the public of its intent to 

request an extension of this collection of 

information. No comments were 

received. PBGC is requesting that OMB 

extend approval of the collection for 

three years. An agency may not conduct 

or sponsor, and a person is not required 

to respond to, a collection of 

information unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

PBGC estimates that each year there 

will be one application for a partition 

submitted by a plan sponsor under this 

regulation. The total estimated annual 

burden of the collection of information 

is 13 hours and $45,600. 

Issued in Washington, DC. 

Hilary Duke, 

Assistant General Counsel for Regulatory 

Affairs, Pension Benefit Guaranty 

Corporation.
