          - [Docket No. 50-219; NRC-2009-0167]

                    Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has issued Renewed                           ( print page 18001)                        Facility Operating License No. DPR-16 to Exelon Generation Company, LLC (the licensee), the operator of the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (OCNGS). Renewed facility operating license No. DPR-16 authorizes operation of OCNGS by the licensee at reactor core power levels not in excess of 1930 megawatts thermal, in accordance with the provisions of the OCNGS renewed license and its technical specifications.                

                    The notice also serves as the record of decision for the renewal of Facility Operating License No. DPR-16, consistent with Title 10 of the                     *Code of Federal Regulations*                     (10 CFR), Section 51.103 “Record of Decision—General.” As discussed in the final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (FSEIS) for OCNGS, dated January 2007, the Commission has considered a range of reasonable alternatives that included generation from oil, wind, solar, hydropower, geothermal, wood waste, municipal solid waste, other biomass-derived fuels, fuel cells, delayed retirement, conservation measures and, tidal and ocean energy. The factors considered in the record of decision can be found in the supplemental environmental impact statement for OCNGS.                

                    OCNGS is a boiling water reactor located in Lacey Township, Ocean County, New Jersey, approximately two miles south of the community of Forked River. OCNGS was operated by AmerGen Energy Company, LLC, until January 9, 2009, when the license was transferred to Exelon Generation Company, LLC (74 FR 4777), in accordance with Section 184 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and 10 CFR Section 50.80, “Transfer of Licenses.” The application for the renewed license complied with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (the Act), as amended, and the Commission's regulations. As required by the Act and the Commission's regulations in 10 CFR Chapter I, the Commission has made appropriate findings, which are set forth in the license. Prior public notice of the action involving the proposed issuance of the renewed license and of an opportunity for a hearing regarding the proposed issuance of the renewed license was published in the                     **Federal Register**                     on September 15, 2005 (70 FR 54585).
