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

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

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