Amergen Energy Company, LLC; Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating 
Station; Notice of Availability of the Draft Supplement 28 to the 
Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear 
Plants, and Public Meeting for the License Renewal of Oyster Creek 
Nuclear Generating Station

    Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
(NRC, Commission) has published a draft plant-specific supplement to 
the Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of 
Nuclear Plants (GEIS), NUREG-1437, regarding the renewal of operating 
license DPR-16 for an additional 20 years of operation for the Oyster 
Creek Nuclear Generating Station (OCNGS). OCNGS is located along the 
western shore of Barnegat Bay between the South Branch of Forked River 
and Oyster Creek, in Ocean County, New Jersey. Possible alternatives to 
the proposed action (license renewal) include no action and reasonable 
alternative energy sources.
    The draft Supplement 28 to the GEIS is publicly available at the 
NRC Public Document Room (PDR), located at One White Flint North, 11555 
Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852, or from the NRC's Agencywide 
Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). The ADAMS Public 
Electronic Reading Room is accessible at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams/web-based.html. The accession number for the draft Supplement 28 
to the GEIS is ML061520231. Persons who do not have access to ADAMS, or 
who encounter problems in accessing the documents located in ADAMS, 
should contact the NRC's PDR Reference staff by telephone at 1-800-397-
4209, or 301-415-4737, or by e-mail at [email protected]. In addition, the 
Lacey Public Library, located at 10 East Lacey Road, Forked River, NJ 
08731, has agreed to make the draft supplement to the GEIS available 
for public inspection.
    Any interested party may submit comments on the draft supplement to 
the GEIS for consideration by the NRC staff. To be certain of 
consideration, comments on the draft supplement to the GEIS and the 
proposed action must be received by September 8, 2006. Comments 
received after the due date will be considered if it is practical to do 
so, but the NRC staff is able to assure consideration only for comments 
received on or before this date. Written comments on the draft 
supplement to the GEIS should be sent to: Chief, Rules and Directives 
Branch, Division of Administrative Services, Office of Administration, 
Mailstop T-6D59, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 
20555-0001.
    Comments may be hand-delivered to the NRC at 11545 Rockville Pike, 
Room T-6D59, Rockville, Maryland, between 7:30 a.m. and 4:15 p.m. on

Commission, including those made by Federal, State, local agencies, 
Native American Tribes, or other interested persons, will be made 
available electronically at the Commission's PDR in Rockville, 
Maryland, and through ADAMS.
    The NRC staff will hold a public meeting to present an overview of 
the draft plant-specific supplement to the GEIS and to accept public 
comments on the document. The public meeting will be held on July 12, 
2006, at the Quality Inn located at 815 Route 37 in Toms River, New 
Jersey. There will be two sessions to accommodate interested parties. 
The first session will convene at 1:30 p.m. and will continue until 
4:30 p.m., as necessary. The second session will convene at 7 p.m. with 
a repeat of the overview portions of the meeting and will continue 
until 10 p.m., as necessary. 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 same 
location. No comments on the draft supplement to the GEIS will be 
accepted during the informal discussions. To be considered, comments 
must be provided either at the transcribed public meeting or in
