NEPA Analysis and Treatment of Resource Agency Recommendations
1. Will the scope of the Commission's NEPA analysis be different for a conditioned license as compared to a non-conditioned license?
No. The decision to issue a conditioned versus a non-conditioned license will have no bearing on the scope of Commission staff's NEPA analysis. All pre-filing (of the license application) and post-filing processes will remain the same, including pre-filing consultation; issue and study identification; solicitation of comments, recommendations, terms, conditions, and prescriptions; and NEPA review.
2. Will the Commission consider agency recommendations submitted pursuant to FPA sections 10(a) and 10(j) differently for a conditioned license as compared to a non-conditioned license?
No. The decision to issue a conditioned versus a non-conditioned license will have no bearing on the consideration of agency recommendations submitted pursuant to section 10(a) or section 10(j) of the FPA.
