environmental impacts associated with 

the approval of the requested 

exemption. 

Alternative to the Proposed Action 

Since there are no significant 

environmental impacts associated with 

the proposed action, any alternatives 

with equal or greater environmental 

impact are not evaluated. The 

alternative to the proposed action would 

be to deny approval of the exemption. 

This alternative would have the same 

environmental impacts. 

Agencies and Persons Consulted 

A draft of this EA was sent by email 

dated April 3, 2014, to both Ms. Aggie 

Leitheiser, Assistant Commissioner of 

the Minnesota Department of Health 

(MDH) (ADAMS accession no. 

ML14100A328) and Mr. Ron Johnson, 

President of Tribal Council for the 

Prairie Island Indian Community (PIIC) 

(ADAMS accession no. ML14100A354). 

The MDH response was received by 

email dated April 7, 2014 (ADAMS 

accession No. ML14100A098). The 

email response states that MDH 

reviewed the draft EA and had no 

comments. The PIIC response with 

comments was received by email on 

April 11, 2014 (ADAMS accession No. 

ML14154A335). Following revisions to 

the draft EA, it was reissued to MDH 

and PIIC for comment. 

By email dated July 25, 2014, the 

revised EA was sent to Ms. Aggie 

Leitheiser at MDH and Mr. Philip 

Mahowald, General Counsel for the 

PIIC. The MDH response was received 

by email dated August 11, 2014 

(ADAMS accession no. ML14266A174). 

The email response states that MDH 

reviewed the draft EA and had no 

comments. The PIIC’s email response 

was received by email dated September 

4, 2014 (ADAMS accession no. 

ML14251A373). The email response 

states that PIIC reviewed the draft EA 

and had no comments. 

The NRC staff has determined that a 

consultation under Section 7 of the 

Endangered Species Act is not required 

because the proposed action will not 

affect listed species or critical habitat. 

The NRC staff has also determined that 

the proposed action is not a type of 

activity that has the potential to impact 

historic properties because the proposed 

action would occur within the 

established Prairie Island site boundary. 

Therefore, no consultation is required 

under Section 106 of the National 

Historic Preservation Act. 

III. Finding of No Significant Impact 

The environmental impacts of the 

proposed action have been reviewed in 

accordance with the requirements set 

forth in 10 CFR Part 51. Based upon this 

environmental assessment, the NRC 

finds that the proposed action, issuance 

of an exemption from specific physical 

security requirements in 10 CFR 

73.51(d)(3), as further discussed in the 

safety evaluation, will not significantly 

impact the quality of the human 

environment. Accordingly, preparation 

of an environmental impact statement 

for the proposed exemption is not 

warranted, and a finding of no 

significant impact is appropriate.

of October, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that the NRC has issued 

renewed facility operating license Nos. 

NPF–39 and NPF–85 to Exelon 

Generation Company, LLC, the operator 

of Limerick. Renewed facility operating 

license Nos. NPF–39 and NPF–85 

authorize operation of Limerick by the 

licensee at reactor core power levels not 

in excess of 3515 megawatts thermal for 

each unit, in accordance with the 

provisions of the Limerick renewed 

licenses and technical specifications. 

The NRC’s ROD that supports the NRC’s 

decision to renew facility operating 

license Nos. NPF–39 and NPF–85 is 

available in ADAMS under Accession 

No. ML14281A259. As discussed in the 

ROD and the final supplemental 

environmental impact statement (FSEIS) 

for LGS, Supplement 49 to NUREG– 

1437, ‘‘Generic Environmental Impact 

Statement for License Renewal of 

Nuclear Plants Regarding Limerick 

Generating Station, Units 1 and 2,’’ 

dated August 2014 (ADAMS Accession 

Nos. ML14238A284 and 

ML14238A290), the NRC has considered 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 206 / Friday, October 24, 2014 / Notices 63651 

a range of reasonable alternatives that 

included natural gas combined-cycle, 

supercritical pulverized coal, new 

nuclear, wind power, purchase power, 

and the no action alternative. The ROD 

and FSEIS documents the NRC decision 

for the environmental review that the 

adverse environmental impacts of 

license renewal for Limerick are not so 

great that preserving the option of 

license renewal for energy planning 

decisionmakers would be unreasonable. 

Limerick Units 1 and 2 are boiling 

water reactors located in Limerick 

Township, Pennsylvania. The 

application for the renewed licenses, 

‘‘Limerick Generating Station License 

Renewal Application,’’ dated June 22, 

2011 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML111790800), complied with the 

standards and requirements of the 

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended 

(the Act), and the NRC’s regulations. As 

required by the Act and the NRC’s 

regulations in 10 CFR Chapter 1, the 

NRC has made appropriate findings, 

which are set forth in the licenses. A 

public notice of the proposed issuance 

of the renewed licenses and an 

opportunity for a hearing was published 

in the Federal Register on August 24, 

2011 (76 FR 52992).

action, see: (1) Exelon Generation
