The renewed license authorizes and requires operation of the Calvert Cliffs ISFSI in accordance with the provisions of the renewed license and its TS. The renewed license will expire on November 30, 2052. Exelon's application for a renewed license complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (the Act), as amended, and the Commission's rules and regulations. The Commission has made appropriate findings as required by the Act and the Commission's regulations in chapter 1 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), and sets forth those findings in the renewed license. The agency afforded an opportunity for a hearing in the Notice of Opportunity for a Hearing published in the **Federal Register** on April 25, 2011 (76 FR 22935). The NRC received no request for a hearing or petition for leave to intervene following the notice. The NRC staff prepared a safety evaluation report
(SER)for the renewal of the ISFSI license and concluded, based on that evaluation, the ISFSI will continue to meet the regulations in 10 CFR part 72. The NRC staff also prepared an Environmental Assessment
(EA)and Finding of No Significant Impact for the renewal of this license on June 8, 2012 (77 FR 34093). The EA and Finding of No Significant Impact, which was re-issued on October 23, 2014, (79 FR 63444), and includes the NRC staff's consideration of the impacts of continued storage of spent nuclear fuel (as documented in NUREG-2157, “Generic Environmental Impact Statement for Continued Storage of Spent Fuel”) as an appendix to the EA, concluded that renewal of this ISFSI license will not have a significant impact on the quality of the human environment. *Availability of Documents:* The ADAMS accession numbers for the documents related to this notice are: 1 Applicant's application, dated September 17, 2010 ML102650247 2 Response to First Request for Supplemental Information, dated February 10, 2011 ML110620134 3 Response to Second Request for Supplemental Information, dated March 9, 2011 ML110730720 4 Response to First Request for Additional Information, dated June 28, 2011 ML11180A270 5 Response to Second Request for Additional Information, dated December 15, 2011 ML113640129 6 Response to Third Request for Supplemental Information, dated July 27, 2012 ML12212A216 7 Partial Response to Third Request for Additional Information, dated June 14, 2013 ML131700610 8 Supplemental Response to Third Request for Additional Information, dated April 24, 2014 ML131190290 9 Response to Fourth Request for Additional Information, dated September 18, 2014 ML14267A065 10 NRC Safety Evaluation Report ML14274A038 Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 23rd day of October 2014.
