PSEG Nuclear LLC, Salem Nuclear
Generating Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2;
Notice of Consideration of Approval of
Transfer of Facility Operating Licenses
and Conforming Amendments and
Opportunity for a Hearing
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC or the Commission) is considering
the issuance of an order under Title 10
of the Code of Federal Regulations (10
CFR) Section 50.80 approving the
transfer of Facility Operating License
Nos. DPR–70 and DPR–75 for the Salem
Nuclear Generating Station, Unit Nos. 1
and 2 (Salem), respectively, to the
extent currently held by PSEG Nuclear
LLC (PSEG) to Exelon Generation
Company, LLC (Exelon). PSEG is the
licensed operator of Salem. PSEG and
Exelon currently own 57.41 percent and
42.59 percent, respectively, of Salem.
The transfer of PSEG’s ownership
interests and operating authority to
PO 00000
Frm 00075

Exelon is part of the proposed merger of
PSEG’s parent corporation, Public
Service Enterprise Group, into Exelon
Corporation, the indirect parent
company of Exelon. The Commission is
also considering amending the licenses
for administrative purposes to reflect
the proposed transfer.
According to an application for
approval filed by PSEG, Exelon would
assume title to PSEG’s interest in the
facility following approval of the
proposed license transfers, while
retaining its current ownership
interests, such that Exelon would own
100 percent of Salem, and would
become responsible for the operation,
maintenance, and eventual
decommissioning of Salem. No physical
changes to the Salem facility or
operational changes are being proposed
in the application.
The proposed amendments would
delete references to PSEG, or replace
references to PSEG in the licenses with
references to Exelon, as appropriate, to
reflect the proposed transfer. Pursuant
to 10 CFR 50.80, no license, or any right
thereunder, shall be transferred, directly
or indirectly, through transfer of control
of the license, unless the Commission
shall give its consent in writing. The
Commission will approve an
application for the transfer of a license,
if the Commission determines that the
proposed transferee is qualified to hold
the license, and that the transfer is
otherwise consistent with applicable
provisions of law, regulations, and
orders issued by the Commission
pursuant thereto.
Before issuance of the proposed
conforming license amendments, the
Commission will have made findings
required by the Atomic Energy Act of
1954, as amended (the Act), and the
Commission’s regulations.
As provided in 10 CFR 2.1315, unless
otherwise determined by the
Commission with regard to a specific
application, the Commission has
determined that any amendment to the
license of a utilization facility which
does no more than conform the license
to reflect the transfer action involves no
significant hazards consideration. No
contrary determination has been made
with respect to this specific license
amendment application. In light of the
generic determination reflected in 10
CFR 2.1315, no public comments with
respect to significant hazards
considerations are being solicited,
notwithstanding the general comment
procedures contained in 10 CFR 50.91.
The filing of requests for hearing and
petitions for leave to intervene, and
written comments with regard to the

publication of this notice, any person
whose interest may be affected by the
Commission’s action on the application
may request a hearing and, if not the
applicant, may petition for leave to

Commission’s action. Requests for a
hearing and petitions for leave to
intervene should be filed in accordance

particular, such requests and petitions
must comply with the requirements set
forth in 10 CFR 2.309. Untimely
requests and petitions may be denied, as
provided in 10 CFR 2.309(c)(1), unless

established. In addition, an untimely
request or petition should address the
factors that the Commission will also
consider, in reviewing untimely
requests or petitions, set forth in 10 CFR
2.309(c)(1)(i)–(viii).
Requests for a hearing and petitions
