NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-354]


PSEG Nuclear LLC Atlantic City Electric Company; Notice of 
Issuance of Amendment to Facility Operating License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Commission) has issued 
Amendment No. 131 to Facility Operating License No. (FOL) NPF-57 issued 
to PSEG Nuclear LLC, which revised the FOL and Technical Specifications 
for operation of the Hope Creek Generating Station, located in Salem 
County, New Jersey. The amendment is effective as of the date of 
issuance.
    The amendment modified the FOL and Technical Specifications to 
increase the licensed power level by approximately 1.4% from 3,293 
megawatts (MW) thermal to 3,339 MW thermal. The changes are anticipated 
to increase the unit's net electrical output by 15 MW electric. The 
changes are based on the installation of the CE Nuclear Power LLC 
Crossflow ultrasonic flow measurement system and its ability to achieve 
increased accuracy in measuring feedwater flow.
    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 to Facility 
Operating License and Opportunity for a Hearing in connection with this 
action was published in the Federal Register on January 25, 2001 (66 FR 
7814). 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 (66 FR 
33583).
    For further details with respect to the action see (1) the 
application for amendment dated December 1, 2000, as supplemented by 
letters dated February 12, May 7, and May 14, 2001, (2) Amendment No. 
131 to License No. NPF-57; (3) the Commission's related Safety 
Evaluation; and (4) the Commission's Environmental Assessment.
