unit, in accordance with the provisions 

of the STP renewed licenses and 

technical specifications. In addition, the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that the NRC has issued 

renewed Facility Operating License Nos. 

NPF–76 and NPF–80 to STP Nuclear 

Operating Company (licensee), the 

operator of STP, Units 1 and 2. Renewed 

Facility Operating License Nos. NPF–76 

and NPF–80 authorize operation of STP 

by the licensee at reactor core power 

levels not in excess of 3,853 megawatts 

thermal for each unit, in accordance 

with the provisions of the STP renewed 

license and technical specifications. The 

NRC’s ROD that supports the NRC’s 

decision to renew Facility Operating 

License Nos. NPF–76 and NPF–80 is 

available in ADAMS under Accession 

No. ML17138A276 and was published 

in the Federal Register (FR) on 

September 25, 2017 (82 FR 44666). As 

discussed in the ROD and the final 

supplemental environmental impact 

statement (FSEIS) for STP, Supplement 

48 to NUREG–1437, ‘‘Generic 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

License Renewal of Nuclear Plants 

Regarding South Texas Project, Units 1 

and 2, Final Report’’ dated November 

2013 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML13322A890), the NRC has considered 

a range of reasonable alternatives that 

included natural gas combined-cycle 

(NGCC); supercritical pulverized coal; 

combination of wind, solar, and NGCC; 

and the no action alternative. The FSEIS 

documents the environmental review, 

including the determination that the 

adverse environmental impacts of 

license renewal for STP are not so great 

that preserving the option of license 

renewal for energy planning 

decisionmakers would be unreasonable. 

South Texas Project, Units 1 and 2, 

are pressurized water reactors located in 

Bay City, TX (90 miles SW of Houston, 

TX). The application for the renewed 

licenses, ‘‘License Renewal Application, 

South Texas Project, Unit 1 and Unit 2, 

Facility Operating License Nos. NPF–76 

and NPF–80,’’ dated October 25, 2010 

(ADAMS Package Accession No. 

ML103010256), as supplemented by 

letters dated through May 2, 2017, 

complies 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 

Chapter 1 of title10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR), the NRC 

has made appropriate findings, which 

are set forth in the license. A public 

notice of the proposed issuance of the 

renewed license and an opportunity for 

a hearing was published in the Federal 

Register on January 13, 2011 (76 FR 

2426). No adjudicatory matters are 

pending before the Commission or the 

Atomic Safety and Licensing Board 

Panel regarding the STP license renewal 

application.

action, see: (1) STP Nuclear Operating 

Company license renewal application 

for STP dated October 25, 2010 

(ADAMS Package Accession No. 

ML103010256), as supplemented by 

letters through May 2, 2017; (2) the 

NRC’s safety evaluation report 

published on June 8, 2017 (ADAMS 

Package Accession No. ML17142A263);

impact statement (NUREG–1437, 

Supplement 48) for STP published on 

November 30, 2013 (ADAMS Accession 

No. ML13322A890); and (4) the NRC’s 

ROD (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML17138A276). 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 28th day 

of September 2017. 

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Deputy Director, Division of License Renewal,
