Such information may include potential habitat (particularly summer roosting habitat) or other uses of the IP2 and IP3 site by the species, observations of the species on the site, and studies or monitoring performed to document potential presence of the species on the site. The FWS's final rule describes northern long-eared bat habitat in detail. 2.

Provide updated information, if applicable, regarding the effects that activities associated with IP2 and IP3 license renewal and refurbishment could have on the northern long-eared bat and Indiana bat. Such activities may include habitat loss, degradation, disturbance, or fragmentation, as well as temporary or permanent increases in noise, vibration, dust, chemical use, lighting, vehicle use, and general levels of human activity during the license renewal term that may result from refurbishment or other site activities. 4. Describe the procedures or protocols that Entergy maintains, if any, to ensure that effects to Federally listed bats are appropriately considered prior to site activities, such as hazardous tree removal, landscape maintenance, or other operations activities that could directly or indirectly affect bats. 5.

As indicated in Entergy's March 10, 2015, response to a request for additional information (ADAMS Accession No. ML15089A338), the Algonquin gas pipeline associated with this project would cross a portion of the IP2 and IP3 property. Is Entergy aware of whether the affected portions of the IP2 and IP3 site were surveyed for bats as part of the AIM project?

TELEPHONE CONFERENCE CALL INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNIT NOS. 2 AND 3 LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION REQUESTS FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION APRIL 16, 2015 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff and representatives of Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc., (Entergy) held a telephone conference call on April 16, 2015, to discuss and clarify the following requests for additional information (RAIs) concerning the license renewal application environmental review. The representatives from Entergy stated that they understood what information the NRC staff is requesting.

Request for Additional Information On April 2, 2015, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) published a final rule (80 FR 17973) that lists the northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) as threatened throughout its range.

The northern long-eared bats range includes Westchester County, New York, in which Indian Point Nuclear Generating Units 2 and 3 (IP2 and IP3) are located. Accordingly, the U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff intends to address potential effects to this species as part of its IP2 and IP3 license renewal review. The NRC staff requests the following information to assist in its review:

1. Provide any information that Entergy Nuclear, LLC (Entergy) has regarding the northern long-eared bats use of the IP2 and IP3 site. Such information may include potential habitat (particularly summer roosting habitat) or other uses of the IP2 and IP3 site by the species, observations of the species on the site, and studies or monitoring performed to document potential presence of the species on the site. The FWSs final rule describes northern long-eared bat habitat in detail.
2. Because the Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis), a Federally endangered species that was addressed in the NRCs final supplemental environmental impact statement for IP2 and IP3 license renewal, is similar in its habitat requirements to the northern long-eared bat, please provide updated information, if applicable, on the Indiana bats potential use of the IP2 and IP3 site.
3. Provide updated information, if applicable, regarding the effects that activities associated with IP2 and IP3 license renewal and refurbishment could have on the northern long-eared bat and Indiana bat. Such activities may include habitat loss, degradation, disturbance, or fragmentation, as well as temporary or permanent increases in noise, vibration, dust, chemical use, lighting, vehicle use, and general levels of human activity during the license renewal term that may result from refurbishment or other site activities.
4. Describe the procedures or protocols that Entergy maintains, if any, to ensure that effects to Federally listed bats are appropriately considered prior to site activities, such as hazardous tree removal, landscape maintenance, or other operations activities that could directly or indirectly affect bats.
5. Has Entergy observed any injured or dead bats (of any species) on the site, especially near the base of tall buildings and structures? If so, please describe these occurrences and ENCLOSURE 2

include the date of observation, species (if known), condition of individual(s), and any follow-up actions that Entergy took as a result of the incident(s).

6. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commissions final environmental impact statement (FEIS) on the Algonquin Incremental Market (AIM) Project (available at https://www.ferc.gov/

industries/gas/enviro/eis/2015/01-23-15-eis.asp) indicates that acoustic surveys for the northern long-eared bat and Indiana bat detected both species at locations in Westchester County, New York (see FEIS, p. 4-113 and 4-116). As indicated in Entergys March 10, 2015, response to a request for additional information (ADAMS Accession No. ML15089A338), the Algonquin gas pipeline associated with this project would cross a portion of the IP2 and IP3 property.
