**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**

**I. Background**

In accordance with section 51.118 of title 10 of the *Code of Federal Regulations* (10 CFR), “Final environmental impact statement—notice of availability,” the NRC is making available final Supplement 60, License Renewal to NUREG-1437, regarding the renewal of Vistra Operations Company LLC; Luminant (Vistra), operating licenses NPF-87 and NPF-89 for an additional 20 years of operation for CPNPP. A Notice of Availability of draft Supplement 60, License Renewal to NUREG-1437 was published in the *Federal Register* on November 9, 2023 (88 FR 77308), by the Environmental Protection Agency. The public comment period on draft Supplement 60, License Renewal to NUREG-1437 ended on December 26, 2023, and the comments received are addressed in final Supplement 60, License Renewal to NUREG-1437.

**II. Discussion**

As discussed in Chapter 4 of final Supplement 60, License Renewal to NUREG-1437, the NRC staff determined that the adverse environmental impacts of subsequent license renewal for CPNPP 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 Vistra; (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 SEIS.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Dated: April 26, 2024.

Deputy Director, Division of Rulemaking, Environmental, and Financial Support, Office of Nuclear Material Safety, and Safeguards.
