SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction

    Under Section 2.106 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 
(10 CFR), the NRC is providing notice of the issuance of ESP No. ESP-
005 to the Permittee, and under 10 CFR 50.102(c), the NRC is providing 
notice that the ROD has been issued. With respect to the ESP 
application filed by PSEG, the NRC finds that the applicable standards 
and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, (AEA) 
and the Commission's regulations have been met. The NRC finds that any 
required notifications to other agencies or bodies have been duly made 
and that there is reasonable assurance that the site is in conformity 
with the permit, the provisions of the AEA, and the Commission's 
regulations. Furthermore, the NRC finds that the Permittee is 
technically qualified to engage in the activities authorized, and that 
issuance of the permit will not be inimical to the common defense and 
security or to the health and safety of the public. Finally, the NRC 
finds that the findings required by subpart A of 10 CFR part 51 have 
been made.
    Accordingly, the ESP was issued on May 5, 2016, and became 
effective immediately.

II. Further Information

    The NRC has prepared a final safety evaluation report (FSER) and 
final environmental impact statement (FEIS) that document the 
information reviewed and the NRC's conclusions. The Atomic Safety and 
Licensing Board (ASLB) issued its Initial Decision on April 26, 2016, 
following the March 24, 2016, mandatory hearing on the staff's review, 
authorizing the NRC staff to issue to PSEG an ESP for the PSEG Site. 
The ASLB's Initial Decision constitutes the NRC's ROD. The NRC also 
prepared a document summarizing the ROD to accompany its actions on the 
ESP application; this Summary ROD incorporates by reference materials 
contained in the FEIS. The FSER, FEIS, Summary ROD, and accompanying 
documentation included in the ESP package, as well as the ASLB Initial 
Decision, are available online in the ADAMS Public Document collection 
at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. From this site, persons 
can access the NRC's ADAMS, which provides text and image files of 
NRC's public documents.
