Dear Mr. Wentzel,

Your June 26, 2012, letter requests comments on the draft supplement to the final plant-specific Supplement 38 to NUREG-1437, "Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants" (GEIS), regarding the license renewal of Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 2 and 3 (IP2 and IP3). This is a supplement to the FSEIS you published in December 2010.

We have reviewed the document and have no substantive comments. The description of the information that has become available since the FSEIS was published is consistent with our understanding of the available information. Also, the description of the Endangered Species Act section 7 consultation that was completed in 2011 and reinitiatied in 2012 appears complete and accurate.

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this document. We look forward to continuing to work with you on the ongoing consultation to consider effects of continued operations of IP2 and IP3 on shortnose and Atlantic sturgeon. Please contact Julie Crocker in our Protected Resources Division if you have any questions regarding this letter (978-282-8480 or Julie.Crockerenoaa. 2ov).

Sincerely, Administrator
