Station, Unit 1 (Docket No.50-354),

Salem Nuclear Generating

Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 (Docket Nos. 50-272 and 50-311),

SalemCounty, New Jersey, Date of Amended request:

December 9, 2014, Comments regarding LicenseAmendment Request to revise Appendix B of the Renewed Facility Operating Licenses

Dear Ms. Parker,

The Delaware Riverkeeper Network urges you to deny the submitted license amendment request(LAR) by PSEG Nuclear LLC to revise Appendix B of the Renewed Facility Operating Licenses for SalemNuclear Generating Station andiHope Creek Generating Station.

We disagree with the proposeddetermination that the amendment requests involve no significant hazards consideration.

Furthermore, werequest that a hearing be conducted regarding this LAR request and before the U.S: Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issues the amendment.

This proposal by PSEG would eliminate the requirement to send an Annual Environmental Operating Report along with important notifications to your regulators at the NRC. Included among therequirements that PSEG wants to eliminate are reporting important information on fish kills and incidents involving endangered

species, on unanticipated emergency discharge of wastewater or chemical substances, and on unusual environmental events. Furthermore, PSEG wants to stop reporting details on permitamendments or renewals involving pollution discharge permits overseen by New Jersey. This is particularly concerning because the State of New Jersey has allowed the plant to operate with an expired discharge permit since 2006. Due to the lack of continuous State oversight, any "duplication of reports" that currently occurs is necessary to ensure full compliance with regulations and full protection of the environment.

The NRC must consistently and aggressively enforce its regulations to protect the public andenvironment.

The Delaware Riverkeeper Network is opposed to this LAR, and we urge you to deny it.Furthermore, we request a hearing regarding this application so that the public is fully aware of the proposaland has an opportunity to speak on the possible effects any decision would have on impacted parties,communities, and individuals.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.
