Background In accordance with section 51.118 of title 10 of the *Code of Federal Regulations* (10 CFR), the NRC is making available for public inspection NUREG-1437, Supplement 5a, Second Renewal, regarding the subsequent renewal of Florida Power & Light Company's
(FPL)Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-31 and DPR-41 for an additional 20 years of operation for Turkey Point. A notice of availability of the draft of NUREG-1437, Supplement 5a, Second Renewal, was published in the **Federal Register** on September 8, 2023, by the NRC (88 FR 62110) and by the Environmental Protection Agency (88 FR 62078). The public comment period on the draft EIS ended on November 7, 2023, and the comments received are addressed in the final EIS. II. Discussion As discussed in Chapter 3 of NUREG-1437, Supplement 5a, Second Renewal, the NRC staff's recommendation is that the adverse environmental impacts of subsequent license renewal for Turkey Point for an additional 20 years beyond the expiration dates of the initial renewed licenses are not so great that preserving the option of subsequent license renewal for energy-planning decisionmakers would be unreasonable. This recommendation is based on:
(1)FPL's environmental report, as supplemented;
(2)the NRC staff's consultations with Federal, State, Tribal, and local government agencies;
(3)the NRC staff's independent environmental review, which is documented in NUREG-1437, Supplement 5a, Second Renewal; and
(4)the NRC staff's consideration of public comments. Dated: April 1, 2024. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. John M. Moses, Deputy Director, Division of Rulemaking, Environmental, and Financial Support, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards. [FR Doc. 2024-07152 Filed 4-4-24; 8:45 am]
