Abramson Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Mail Stop: T-3F23 Washington, DC 20555-0001 In the Matter of AMERGEN ENERGY COMPANY, LLC (License Renewal for Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station)

Docket No. 50-219-LR

Dear Administrative Judges:

Pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.1203(c), the staff of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Staff) herein notifies the Licensing Board and the parties that it has updated the Hearing File for this proceeding in accordance with 10 C.F.R. § 2.336(d) and the Boards Memorandum and Order of April 19, 2006. Materials in this June 2, 2006 Supplement may be accessed through the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). An index containing the ADAMS accession number, date, and title or description of each item in this supplement is appended hereto as Attachment 1. In addition, on or about Friday, June 2, 2006, materials in the June 2 Supplement will be made available via the Electronic Hearing Docket (EHD), which may be accessed at the following URL: http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/ehd.html/. Materials in Supplement 2 will be contained in a sub-folder entitled, Hearing File Supplement 2 in the Oyster Creek 50-219-LR" folder of the EHD.

The Staff is also updating its privilege logs at this time, which are appended hereto as Attachments 2 and 3. The Staff will preserve and maintain all privileged documents during the pendency of this proceeding. Also attached, as required by 10 C.F.R. § 2.336(c), are the Affidavit of Donnie J. Ashley and the Declaration of Frank Gillespie.

It has come to my attention that in the deliberative process log (Attachment 2 to the Staffs April 3, 2006, letter), at pages 4 and 32, a non-privileged document was inadvertently included and an NRC Foreign Assignee was improperly identified. Enclosed as Attachment 4 are corrected pages for the April 3, 2006 deliberative process log.

As requested by the Board, the Staff hereby provides notice that there is no change in the schedule of proposed dates of issuance for the draft SEIS, the SER with open items, the Final SER, or the Final SEIS.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Mitzi A. Young Counsel for NRC Staff

)

AMERGEN ENERGY COMPANY, LLC ) Docket No. 50-219-LR

)

(License Renewal for Oyster Creek )

Nuclear Generating Station) )

DECLARATION OF FRANK GILLESPIE I, Frank Gillespie, do hereby state as follows:

1. I am employed as the Director of the Division of Licensing Renewal (DLR) in the Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRC) Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR).

My supervisory responsibilities include oversight of the NRC Staffs review and evaluation of the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station license renewal application.

2. As part of their responsibilities in preparing the hearing file and mandatory disclosures for these proceedings, NRC staff members under my supervision identified several documents as privileged because they contained information concerning the Staffs deliberative process. Those documents are listed in Attachment 2 to the June 2, 2006, submission of Supplement 2 to the Staffs Hearing File.

3. I have personally reviewed the 73 documents identified as privileged in , and have determined, in accordance with the guidance set forth in Management Directive 3.4, that they contain predecisional information concerning the Staffs review of the license renewal application. All documents contain either the Staffs analyses, recommendations, opinions, or evaluations, and may not necessarily reflect the final agency position with respect to the matters discussed therein. Each of the documents comprises part

of the deliberative process necessary to the Staffs review of the pending license renewal application.

4. Further, I have determined that disclosure of the 73 documents could result in harm to the agency, in that it would (a) prematurely disclose the preliminary views of individual Staff members and/or the Staff prior to reaching a final agency decision, and could thus create confusion as to the actual policy or views of the NRC Staff; (b) hinder the efficiency of the Staff, in that forced disclosure of its internal discussions on an unresolved issue would tend to chill all future deliberations and would interfere with the Staffs ability to engage in a free exchange of opinions and analyses prior to publishing its final review documents; and (c) imply or suggest incorrectly that the opinions of the Staff members involved in these communications are actually the final decisions of the agency, while no such final decision has yet been made.

5. Accordingly, I formally invoke the deliberative process privilege with respect to each of the 73 documents listed in Attachment 2 to the June 2, 2006, submission of Supplement 2 to the Staffs Hearing File.

6. I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge, information and belief.

/Original Signed By?
