UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 The Honorable Doug Burgum Secretary of the Interior U.S. Department of the Interior 1849 C Street NW Washington, DC 20240

Dear Secretary Burgum:

December 4, 2025 On behalf of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), I am providing the agency's status report as required by Section 5(c) of the January 20, 2025, Executive Order (EO) 14156, entitled "Declaring a National Energy Emergency." On March 13, 2025, in accordance with Section 5(a) of the EO, the NRC submitted our initial summary report listing planned or potential actions to facilitate the Nation's energy supply that may be subject to the Endangered Species Act (ESA) regulation on consultations in emergencies. Section 5(c) further directs the heads of agencies to then submit a status report at least every 30 days for the duration of the national emergency following the submission of the initial summary report.

The NRC's status report is enclosed. There have been no changes in the status of ESA consultations since the NRC's August status report, and the NRC received no new applications or information on planned or potential license applications this month that were not already listed in last month's report.

Per the direction in Section 5(c) of EO 14156, the NRC will continue to provide these status reports at least every 30 days for the duration of the declared national energy emergency. Please feel free to contact me or have your staff contact Michael King, Acting Executive Director for Operations, via email at Michael.King2@nrc.gov or via telephone at 301-415-1700, if you have any questions or need additional information.

Enclosure:

As Stated Sincerely,

( ---*- c**
