SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In accordance with Sec.  51.118 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations, the NRC is making available final Supplement 52 to the 
GEIS regarding the renewal of FENOC operating license NPF-3 for an 
additional 20 years of operation for Davis-Besse. Draft Supplement 52 
to the GEIS was noticed by the NRC in the Federal Register on March 7, 
2014 (79 FR 13079), and noticed by the Environmental Protection Agency 
on March 21, 2014 (79 FR 15741). The public comment period on draft 
Supplement 52 to the GEIS ended on April 21, 2014, and the comments 
received are addressed in final Supplement 52 to the GEIS. Final 
Supplement 52 to the GEIS is available as indicated in the ADDRESSES 
section of this document, and is available for public inspection at the 
Toledo-Lucas County Public Library, 325 Michigan Street, Toledo, Ohio 
43604; and at the Ida Rupp Public Library, 310 Madison Street, Port 
Clinton, Ohio 43452.

II. Discussion

    As discussed in Section 9.4 of the final Supplement 52 to the GEIS, 
the NRC determined that the adverse environmental impacts of license 
renewal for Davis-Besse are not so great that preserving the option of 
license renewal for energy-planning decisionmakers would be 
unreasonable. This recommendation is based on: (1) The analysis and 
findings in the GEIS; (2) information provided in the environmental 
report and other documents submitted by FENOC; (3) consultation with 
Federal, State, local, and Tribal agencies; (4) the NRC staff's 
independent environmental review; and (5) consideration of public 
comments received during the scoping process and on the Draft 
Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 29th day of April 2015.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Chief, Projects Branch 2, Division of License Renewal, Office of 
Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
