PSEG Nuclear, LLC, EXELON
Generation Company, LLC, Salem
Nuclear Generating Station, Unit Nos.
1 and 2; Notice of Withdrawal of
Applicaton for Amendments to Facility
Operating Licenses
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC or the Commission) has granted
the request of PSEG Nuclear LLC
(PSEG), on behalf of PSEG and Exelon
Generation Company, LLC (the
licensees), to withdraw its April 15,
2004, application for proposed
amendments to Facility Operating
License Nos. DPR–70 and DPR–75 for
the Salem Nuclear Generating Station,
Unit Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, located
in Salem County, New Jersey.
The proposed change to the fire
protection program would have
decreased the carbon dioxide
concentration, hold time, and number of
discharges for the fire suppression
systems in the 4160-volt switchgear
rooms, 460-volt switchgear rooms, and
lower electrical penetration area rooms.
The Commission had previously issued
a Notice of Consideration of Issuance of
Amendments published in the Federal
Register November 23, 2004 (69 FR
68184). However, by letter dated
September 26, 2005, PSEG withdrew the
above-referenced proposed change.
For further details with respect to this
action, see the application for
amendments dated April 15, 2004, and
the request for withdrawal dated
September 26, 2005. Documents may be

Nuclear Regulatory
Commission.
ACTION: Request for comments and
announcement of public meeting.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Commission approved a
pilot program to evaluate the use of
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in
cases involving the NRC’s enforcement
activities concerning allegations or
findings of discrimination and other
wrongdoing. See SECY–04–0044,
available at www.nrc.gov. The pilot
program was developed to evaluate
whether the use of ADR could produce
more timely and economical resolution
of issues, more effective outcomes, and
improved relationships. The NRC staff
is now proceeding to evaluate the pilot
program after approximately 1 year of
operation. As an initial step in the
evaluation, the NRC will be holding a
public workshop on October 11, 2005,
from 1–5 p.m., in room T2–B3 (ACRS
Conference Room), Two White Flint
North, 11545 Rockville, Maryland, to
discuss proposed evaluation criteria and
receive comments regarding the pilot
program.
The comment period expires
October 31, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
‘‘ADR’’ is
a term that refers to a number of
processes that can be used in assisting
parties in resolving disputes and
potential conflicts. Most of these
processes are voluntary, where the
parties to the dispute are in control of
the decision on whether to participate
in the process and whether to agree to
any resolution of the dispute. The
parties are assisted in their efforts to
reach agreement by a neutral third
party.
Proposed evaluation criteria for the
pilot program include: (1) Program
effectiveness, including success of the
program in helping ensure safety is
maintained and settlement rate; (2)
program efficiency in terms of both
timeliness and cost efficiency; and (3)
program satisfaction, including
perceptions of fairness, usefulness,
parties’ satisfaction with outcomes,
public perception of the program, and
interest in using the program after initial
program use. In addition, the NRC is
interested in general comments
regarding the pilot program and
recommendations for a potential future
program. The evaluation criteria are
addressed in a document for comment
on the NRC’s Web site at https://
www.nrc.gov, select What We Do,
Enforcement, then Alternative Dispute
Resolution. This document is also
available in ADAMS at ML052640603.
After a brief presentation regarding
the status of the pilot program, the
meeting on October 11, 2005, will be
conducted as a roundtable discussion
among participants who have been
invited to represent the broad spectrum
of interests in the areas of allegations
and enforcement. The participants
include representatives from
whistleblower counsels, the public, and
the nuclear industry. The meeting is
open to the public and all attendees will
have an opportunity to offer comments
and ask questions at selected points
throughout the meeting. Any questions
regarding the roundtable discussion
should be directed to the meeting
facilitator, Francis ‘‘Chip’’ Cameron by
phone at 301–415–1642 or e-mail
fxc@nrc.gov.
