In support of the application and in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 51 and 10 CFR Part 54, NextEra also submitted an environmental report for Seabrook. This letter is to inform you of a change in the environmental review schedule for the Seabrook license renewal review.

The scheduled date for the issuance of the final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) is revised from February 2015 to May 2015.

Enclosed is the NRC staff's revised review schedule for the Seabrook license renewal application. If you have any questions on this revised schedule, please contact the NRCs environmental project manager, Ms. Lois James, at 301-415-3306 or by e-mail at lois.james@nrc.gov.
