The Coast Guard is removing the safety and security zone for the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Plant in Plymouth, Massachusetts, since the facility has stopped power operations permanently. This change, effective January 16, 2025, is due to the rules no longer being needed because the plant is no longer operational. The removal will affect navigation charts and publications, and related navigation markers will also be taken down. This decision was supported by all commenters and will not significantly impact small enterprises or require new information collections.

If a new license is not issued by February 28, 2026, the annual license will automatically renew, unless the Commission decides otherwise. If the project is not subject to section 15 of the FPA, Idaho Power can keep running the project under the existing license terms until a new license is issued.
