survey data for their effluent annual
report to the NRC normally in April
every year. The proposed information
collection described below will be
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) at, oira_submission@
omb.eop.gov, for review, as required by

Tennessee Valley Authority.
Issuance of record of decision.

AGENCY:
ACTION:

This notice is provided in
accordance with the Council on
Environmental Quality’s regulations (40
CFR 1500 to 1508) and TVA’s
procedures for implementing the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA). TVA has decided to adopt the
preferred alternative in its final
supplemental environmental impact
statement (SEIS) for the Integrated
Resource Plan (IRP). The notice of
availability (NOA) of the Final
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement for the Integrated Resource
Plan was published in the Federal
Register on July 17, 2015. The TVA
Board of Directors approved the IRP and
authorized staff to implement the
preferred alternative at its August 21,
2015 meeting. This alternative, the
Target Power Supply Mix, will guide
TVA’s selection of energy resource
options to meet the energy needs of the
Tennessee Valley region over the next
20 years. The energy resource options
include new nuclear, natural gas-fired
and renewable generation, increased
energy efficiency and demand
reduction, and decreased coal-fired
generation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: TVA is an
agency and instrumentality of the
United States, established by an act of
Congress in 1933, to foster the social
and economic welfare of the people of
the Tennessee Valley region and to
promote the proper use and
conservation of the region’s natural
resources. One component of this
mission is the generation, transmission,
and sale of reliable and affordable
electric energy. TVA operates the largest
public power system in the nation,
providing electricity to about 9 million
people in an 80,000-square mile area
comprised of most of Tennessee and
parts of Virginia, North Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and
Kentucky. It provides wholesale power
to 155 independent power distributors
and 59 directly served large industrial
and federal customers. The TVA Act
requires the TVA power system to be
self-supporting and operating on a
nonprofit basis and directs TVA to sell
power at rates as low as are feasible.
Dependable generating capability on
the TVA power system is about 37,200
megawatts (MW). TVA generates most of
this power with 3 nuclear plants, 10
coal-fired plants, 9 combustion-turbine
plants, 6 combined cycle plants, 29
hydroelectric plants, a pumped-storage
facility, and several small renewable
facilities. These facilities generated
142.2 billion kilowatt-hours in fiscal
year 2014. The major sources for this
power were coal (40 percent), nuclear
(33 percent), natural gas (13 percent),
and hydroelectric (10 percent). Other
sources comprised less than 1 percent of
TVA generation. Total power delivered
to customers in fiscal year 2014 was 161
gigawatt-hours (GWh). A portion of this
delivered power was provided through
long-term power purchase agreements.
The recently completed IRP updates
TVA’s 2011 IRP. Consistent with
Section 113 of the Energy Policy Act of
1992, codified within the TVA Act, TVA
employed a least-cost system planning
process in developing the IRP. This
process took into account the demand
for electricity, energy resource diversity,
reliability, costs, risks, environmental
impacts, and the unique attributes of
different energy resources.
Future Demand for Energy
TVA uses state-of-the-art energy
forecasting models to predict future
demands on its system. Because of the
uncertainty in predicting future
demands, TVA developed high,
medium, and low forecasts for both
