## II. Discussion

Exelon is the holder of Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-16 for Oyster Creek. The license provides, among other things, that the facility is subject to all rules, regulations, and orders of the NRC now or hereafter in effect. The facility consists of one boiling-water reactor located in Ocean County, New Jersey. By letter dated January 7, 2011 (ADAMS Accession No. ML110070507), the licensee submitted Notification of Permanent Cessation of Power Operations for Oyster Creek. In this letter, Exelon notified the NRC of its intent to permanently cease operations at Oyster Creek no later than December 31, 2019. By letter dated February 14, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18045A084), the licensee submitted its revised Notification of Permanent Cessation of Power Operations for Oyster Creek. In this letter, Exelon notified the NRC of its intent to permanently cease operations at Oyster Creek no later than October 31, 2018.

                    On May 21, 2018, Exelon submitted the PSDAR, including the site-specific DCE for Oyster Creek, in accordance with § 50.82(a)(4)(i) of title 10 of the                     *Code of Federal Regulations*                     (ADAMS Accession No. ML18141A775). The PSDAR includes a description of the planned decommissioning activities, a proposed schedule for their accomplishment, the site-specific DCE, and a discussion that provides the basis for concluding that the environmental impacts associated with the site-specific decommissioning activities will be bounded by appropriate, previously issued generic and plant-specific environmental impact statements. In a separate letter, Exelon submitted its update to the spent fuel management plan for Oyster Creek on May 21, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18141A486).                

## III. Request for Comment and Public Meeting

The NRC is requesting public comments on the PSDAR, including the DCE, for Oyster Creek. The NRC will conduct a public meeting to discuss the PSDAR, including the DCE, and receive comments on Tuesday, July 17, 2018, from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m., at the Community Hall—Lacey Township, 101 North Main Street, Forked River, New Jersey 08731. The NRC requests that comments that are not provided during the meeting be submitted as noted in Section I, “Obtaining Information and Submitting Comments,” of this document in writing by September 10, 2018.

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 5th day of June, 2018.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
