**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**

**I. Background**

In accordance with section 51.118 of title 10 of the *Code of Federal Regulations* (10 CFR), the NRC is making available final Supplement 6, Second Renewal to NUREG-1437, regarding the renewal of Virginia Electric and Power Company; Dominion Energy Virginia (Dominion), operating licenses DPR-32 and DPR-37 for an additional 20 years of operation for Surry Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 (Surry). A Notice of Availability of Draft Supplement 6, Second Renewal to NUREG-1437 was published in the *Federal Register* on October 25, 2019 (84 FR 57417 and 84 FR 56488), by the Environmental Protection Agency. The public comment period on draft Supplement 6, Second Renewal to NUREG-1437 ended on December 10, 2019, and the comments received are addressed in final Supplement 6, Second Renewal to NUREG-1437.

**II. Discussion**

As discussed in Chapter 5 of final Supplement 6, Second Renewal to NUREG-1437, the NRC staff determined that the adverse environmental impacts of subsequent license renewal for Surry are not so great that preserving the option of subsequent license renewal for energy-planning decisionmakers would not 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 Dominion; (3) consultation with Federal, State, Tribal,  and local 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.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Dated: April 6, 2020.

Chief, Environmental Review License Renewal Branch, Division of Rulemaking, Environmental, and Financial Support, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards.
