Exelon Generation Company, LLC; PSEG Nuclear, LLC; Notice of 
Availability of the Draft Supplement 10 to the Generic Environmental

    Notice is hereby given that the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
(the Commission) has published a draft plant-specific supplement to the 
Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS), NUREG-1437, regarding 
the renewal of operating licenses DRP-44 and DRP-56 for an additional

Bottom Township, York County, Pennsylvania. Possible alternatives to 
the proposed action (license renewal) include no action and reasonable 
alternative energy sources.
    The draft supplement to the GEIS is available electronically for 
public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room located at One White 
Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland, 
or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's 
document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at

Room). If you do not have access to ADAMS or if there are problems in 
accessing the documents located in ADAMS, contact the NRC Public 
Document Room (PDR) Reference staff at 1-800-397-4209, or 301-415-4737,

Library in Brogue, Pennsylvania, the Quarryville Library in

consideration, comments on the draft supplement to the GEIS and the 
proposed action must be received by September 18, 2002. Comments

supplement to the GEIS should be sent to: Chief, Rules and Directives 
Branch, Division of Administrative Services, Office of Administration, 
Mail Stop T-6D 59, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC

Indian tribes, or other interested persons, will be made available 
electronically at the Commission's Public Document Room in Rockville, 
Maryland and from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of

    The NRC staff will hold a public meeting to present an overview of

The second session will commence at 7 p.m. and will continue until 10 
p.m. Both meetings will be transcribed and will include (1) a 
presentation of the contents of the draft plant-specific supplement to 
the GEIS, and (2) the opportunity for interested government agencies, 
organizations, and individuals to provide comments on the draft report. 
Additionally, the NRC staff will host informal discussions one hour 
prior to the start of each session at the Peach Bottom Inn. No comments 
on the proposed draft supplement to the GEIS will be accepted during 
the informal discussions. To be considered, comments must be provided 
either at the transcribed public meetings, or in writing as discussed
