NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50-219]


Issuance of Amendment to Facility Operating License; GPU Nuclear 
Corporation

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Commission) has issued 
Amendment No. 179 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-16 issued to 
GPU Nuclear Corporation (the licensee), which revised the Technical 
Specifications for operation of the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating 
Station located in Ocean County, New Jersey. The amendment is effective 
as of the date of issuance, to be implemented within 30 days of 
issuance.
    The amendment revises Technical Specification 5.3.1.E to allow 2645 
fuel assemblies to be stored in the fuel pool. This is an increase of 
45 fuel assemblies from the current limit of 2600 fuel assemblies. The 
45 additional storage locations currently exist in the racks in the 
fuel pool.
    The application for the amendment complies with the standards and 
requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), 
and the Commission's rules and regulations. The Commission has made 
appropriate findings as required by the Act and the Commission's rules 
and regulations in 10 CFR Chapter I, which are set forth in the license 
amendment.
    Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment and Opportunity 
for Hearing in connection with this action was published in the Federal 
Register on December 20, 1994 (59 FR 65542). No request for a hearing 
or petition for leave to intervene was filed following this notice.
    The Commission has prepared an Environmental Assessment related to 
the action and has determined not to prepare an environmental impact 
statement. Based upon the environmental assessment, the Commission has 
concluded that the issuance of the amendment will not have a 
significant effect on the quality of the human environment (60 FR 
17373).
    For further details with respect to the action see (1) the 
application for amendment dated November 25, 1994, as supplemented 
February 15, 1995, and (2) Amendment No. 179 to License No. DPR-16, (3)

Environmental Assessment. All of these items are available for public 
inspection at the Commission's Public Document Room, the Gelman 
Building, 2120 L Street NW., Washington, DC, and at the local public 
document room located at the Ocean County Library, Reference 
Department, 101 Washington Street, Toms River, NJ 08753.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 10th day of April 1995.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Alexander W. Dromerick, Sr.,
Project Manager, Project Directorate I-3, Division of Reactor
