II. Further Information

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) is considering the request for partial site release to Facility Operating License No. NPF-62 issued to Exelon Generation Company, LLC (the licensee, EGC) for operation of the Clinton Power Station, Unit 1 (CPS), located in DeWitt County, Illinois.

The proposed partial site release would transfer 4-acres of property, owned by EGC, from CPS to Creek Township to expand the Lisenby Cemetery.

Before acceptance of the partial site release, the Commission will have made findings required by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the Commission's regulations.

The Commission is seeking public comments on this proposed determination. Any comments received on or before June 13, 2012 will be considered in making any final determination.
