NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-219]


Amergen Energy Company, LLC Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating 
Station; Notice of Availability of the Final Supplement 28 to the 
Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear 
Plants, Regarding 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 final 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.
    As discussed in Section 9.3 of the final Supplement 28, based on: 
(1) The analysis and findings in the GEIS; (2) the Environmental Report 
submitted by AmerGen Energy Company, LLC; (3) consultation with 
Federal, State, and local agencies; (4) the staff's own independent 
review; and (5) the staff's consideration of public comments, the 
recommendation of the staff is that the Commission determine that the 
adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for OCNGS are not so 
great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy-planning 
decision makers would be unreasonable.
    The final 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://adamswebsearch.nrc.gov/dologin.htm. The Accession Numbers for the final 
Supplement 28 to the GEIS are ML070100234 (Volume 1) and ML070100258 
(Volume 2). 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, New Jersey 08731, 
has agreed to make the final Supplement 28 to the GEIS available for 
public inspection.
