(NRC)has published a final plant-specific supplement to the *Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants* (GEIS), NUREG-1437, regarding the renewal of Operating Licenses NPF-39 and NPF-85 for an additional 20 years of operation for Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2 (LGS). The LGS site is located in Pottstown, PA. Possible alternatives to the proposed action (license renewal) include no action and reasonable alternative energy sources. DATES: The final supplement is available as of September 4, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As discussed in Section 9.3 of the final supplement, the staff determined that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for LGS 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 Exelon Generation Company, LLC;
(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 27th day of August, 2014. For The Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Brian Wittick, Chief, Reactor Projects Branch 2, Division of License Renewal, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. [FR Doc. 2014-21116 Filed 9-3-14; 8:45 am]
