UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 January 27, 2015 Mr. Michael P. Gallagher Vice President, License Renewal Projects Exelon Generation Company, LLC 200 Exelon Way Kennett Square, PA 19348

SUBJECT:

NOTICE OF INTENT TO PREPARE AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT AND CONDUCT SCOPING PROCESS FOR LASALLE COUNTY STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 (TAC NOS. MF5567 AND MF5568)

Dear Mr. Gallagher:

On December 9, 2014, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) received the Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) application for renewal of operating licenses NPF-11 and NPF-18 for LaSalle County Station (LSCS), Units 1 and 2. In support of the application and in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 51 and Part 54, Exelon also submitted an environmental report for LSCS. This letter provides information related to the NRC staff's environmental review of the application.

The NRC staff has prepared a Notice of Intent advising the public that the NRC intends to gather information necessary to prepare a plant-specific supplement to the NRCs Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants (NUREG-1437),

related to the review of the application for the renewal of the LSCS operating licenses.

Enclosed is a copy of the Notice of Intent, which has been forwarded to the Office of the Federal Register for publication.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.28, Exelon is invited to participate in the environmental scoping process.

As discussed in the enclosed notice, the NRC staff is providing the public with the opportunity to participate in two environmental scoping meetings to be held on March 10, 2015. The meetings will be held at the LaSalle County, Emergency Operations Center, 711 East Etna Road, Ottawa, Illinois 61350. The first session will be held in the afternoon, and the second session, covering the same subjects, will be held in the evening. The NRC will present an overview of the environmental review process and will describe how the process will be implemented for the review of the LSCS license renewal application.

If you have any questions on this matter, please contact David Drucker by telephone at 301-415-6223 or by e-mail at David.Drucker@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,

/RA/
