Item 5. Other Information
(c) In late February 2022, the NRC reversed a previous decision in FPL’s Turkey Point subsequent license renewal (SLR) case and concluded that its generic environmental impact statement (EIS) for license renewal does not apply to SLR applications. While the NRC left Turkey Point’s renewed operating licenses in effect, it directed the NRC staff to amend those licenses by removing the 20-year term of licensed operation added by the SLR, thereby restoring the previous operating license expiration dates of 2032 and 2033 for Turkey Point Units Nos. 3 and 4, respectively. This decision, together with an associated decision by the NRC that applies to all SLR applications nationwide, including St. Lucie and Point Beach nuclear power plants, provide that SLR applicants, instead of using an existing generic EIS, may satisfy the environmental review requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act only by requesting the NRC staff to proceed with an entirely site-specific EIS or by using a new generic EIS to be issued by the NRC that will apply specifically to SLR applications, which the NRC has directed the NRC staff to initiate. The ultimate resolution of this matter is not expected to have a material effect on NEE's and FPL's operations or financial statements.
