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
