UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 June 22, 2016 Mr. Keith Polson Site Vice President - Nuclear Generation DTE Electric Company Fermi 2 - 210 NOC 6400 North Dixie Highway Newport, MI 48166

SUBJECT:

SCHEDULE REVISION FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW OF THE FERMI 2 LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION (TAC NO. MF4064)

Dear Mr. Polson:

By letter dated April 24, 2014, DTE Electric Company (DTE or the applicant) submitted an application pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 51 and 10 CFR Part 54, to renew operating license NPF-43 for Fermi 2, for review by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the staff).

Enclosed is the staffs revised environmental review schedule for the Fermi 2 license renewal application (LRA). The staff believes the NRC Commissions recent decision concerning severe accident mitigation alternatives (SAMA) analysis1 may be applicable to the SAMA analysis performed for Fermi 2 because Fermi 2s analysis may have relied upon the NUREG-1150 values for two inputs in the MACCS computer analyses (TIMDEC and CDNFRM). The staff is considering whether to update the SAMA analysis in the final supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (FSEIS) accordingly. Therefore, the schedule for publishing the FSEIS will now be September 2016, instead of June 2016.

We would like to emphasize that the NRC staff will make every reasonable effort to meet the revised schedule milestones. The NRC will continue to follow established review procedures and the enclosed safety review schedule to complete the reviews required by 10 CFR Part 54.
