Docket Nos. 50-250-SLR and 50-251-SLR July 15, 2019 NOTICE REGARDING DISMISSAL OF CONTENTIONS In accordance with its obligation to inform the Commission of relevant developments,1 Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) hereby provides notice that all contentions in the above-captioned proceeding have been dismissed. In LBP-19-3, the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (ASLB) admitted portions of two contentions proffered by Friends of the Earth, Inc., Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc., and Miami Waterkeeper, Inc. (collectively, Joint Intervenors).2 FPL appealed that decision to the Commission.3 Thereafter, following the NRC Staffs issuance of the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (DSEIS), FPL moved the ASLB to dismiss those two contentions as moot, based on new information in the DSEIS. On July 8, 2019, the ASLB granted FPLs motion and dismissed Joint Intervenors contentions 1-E and 5-E.4 Thus, FPLs appeal seeking Commission 1
See Duke Power Co. (William B. McGuire Nuclear Station, Units 1 & 2), ALAB-143, 6 AEC 623, 625 (1973).

3 See Florida Power & Light Companys Notice of Appeal of LBP-19-3 (Apr. 1, 2019) (ML19091A302).
4 Fla. Power & Light Co. (Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Units 3 and 4), LBP-19-6, 90 NRC __ (slip op.)
(July 8, 2019). However, the Board retained jurisdiction over the proceeding due to the pendency of Joint Intervenors motion for leave to file new contentions. See [Joint Intervenors] Motion to Migrate Contentions
& Admit New Contentions in Response to NRC Staffs [DSEIS] (June 24, 2019) (ML19179A316).
2 review of the Boards decision to admit (in part) Joint Intervenors contentions 1-E and 5-E is now moot.
