In Reference 1, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL), acting on behalf of itself and as agent for NextEra Energy Seabrook, LLC and NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC submitted a license amendment request (LAR) to change the emergency plan for each site. Specifically, the proposed amendment would adopt a new fleet common emergency plan with site-specific annexes.

In Reference 2, the NRC staff requested supplemental information to enable the staff to make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed amendment request.

Reference 3 provided supplemental information that enabled the NRC staff in Reference 4 to conclude the application provided technical information in sufficient detail to perform a detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed amendment in terms of regulatory requirements and the protection of public health and safety and the environment.

Reference 5 transmitted a request for additional information that the NRC staff has determined is necessary to complete its review.

Reference 6 provided information responsive to Reference 5 and requested an audit process to resolve some items more efficiently.

Reference 7 provided revised responses to requests for additional information, a revised Common Emergency Plan, and revised site-specific annexes due to information gained as a result of the audit process conducted on September 27, 2023, and September 28, 2023.

Reference 9 provided supplemental information regarding those requests for additional information identified in Reference 8 where responses failed to provide sufficient justification to allow the NRC to continue its review of the LAR.

Reference 10 provided the observations of the NRC staff from the June 11, 2024, demonstration drill and provided an updated status of the requests for additional information (RAls).

Reference 11 provided notice of its intent to supplement the LAR with additional information including a revised Common Emergency Plan and revised site-specific annexes to bring to closure the outstanding RAls identified in Enclosure 2 to Reference 10.

Reference 12 provided supplemental information to bring to closure the outstanding RAls identified in Enclosure 2 to Reference 10.

Reference 13 provided a revised Common Emergency Plan that clarified the Note to Position F, Shift Dose Assessor, in Section B, Emergency Response Organization, to permit this position to be filled as a collateral duty to any on-shift position other than the Radiation Protection Technician (RPT).

It was identified that Reference 12 and Reference 13 inadvertently omitted an unsworn declaration that satisfies the oath and affirmation requirements of 1 O CFR 50.30(b). The purpose of this letter is to confirm that the information provided in Reference 12 and Reference 13 can be relied upon by the NRC staff to prepare a safety evaluation and is true and correct.

This letter does not alter the conclusions in Reference 1 that the proposed change does not involve a significant hazards consideration pursuant to 10 CFR 50.92, and there are no significant environmental impacts associated with the change.

This letter contains no new or revised regulatory commitments.

If you should have any questions regarding this letter, please contact Ms. Maribel Valdez, Fleet Licensing Manager, at (561) 904-5164.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

Executed on October IS'tJ!"2024 Sincerely, Kenneth A. Mack Director, Licensing and Regulatory Compliance
