The review of subsequent license renewal applications has been - and continues to be - a high priority for NRC. To comply with the National Environmental Policy Act and ensure that subsequent license renewal decisions rest on a firm legal foundation, it is essential that NRC update the Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS) to examine the 60-80-year subsequent license renewal period. The license renewal regulation must also be revised so that the GEIS findings can then apply to subsequent license renewal applications.
 
I appreciate the NRC staffs thoughtful evaluation of how the necessary work can be accomplished in a thorough and timely way. I approve the staffs recommended plan for a 24-month rulemaking (Alternative 3). Based on the staffs analysis, I believe that 24 months is the most expeditious timeframe that is realistic. If the NRC staff encounters challenges with meeting the goal of completing the rulemaking in 24 months, the staff should promptly notify the Commission of any needed adjustments to the target schedule.
