COMMISSION
[Docket Nos. 50–334 and 50–412]
FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating
Company, Beaver Valley Power
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 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (the Commission) is
considering the issuance of an order
under 10 CFR 50.80 approving the
direct transfer of Facility Operating
Licenses Nos. DPR–66 and NPF–73 for
the Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit
Nos. 1 (BVPS 1) and 2 (BVPS 2),
respectively, to the extent held by Ohio
Edison Company (Ohio Edison)
regarding its non-leased interests in
BVPS 2, the Cleveland Electric
Illuminating Company (Cleveland
Electric) and the Toledo Edison
Company (Toledo Edison). The transfer
would be to FirstEnergy Nuclear
Generation Corporation (FENGenCo).
The Commission is further considering
amending the licenses for
administrative purposes to reflect the
proposed transfer.
According to an application for
approval dated June 1, 2005, as
supplemented by letter dated July 15,
2005, filed by FirstEnergy Nuclear
Operating Company (FENOC), on behalf
of Ohio Edison, Cleveland Electric,
Toledo Edison and FENGenCo,
FENGenCo would assume Ohio Edison’s
35 percent undivided ownership
interest in BVPS 1 and 20.22 percent
undivided ownership interest in BVPS
2, Cleveland Electric’s 24.47 percent
undivided ownership interest in BVPS
2, and Toledo Edison’s 1.65 percent
undivided ownership interest in BVPS 2
following approval of the proposed
license transfers. FENOC, currently the
licensed operator of BVPS 1 and BVPS
2, would remain so and continue to be
responsible for the operation and
maintenance of BVPS 1 and BVPS 2.
Ohio Edison’s 21.66 percent leased
interest in BVPS 2 and Toledo Edison’s
18.26 percent leased interest in BVPS 2
would not be changed. No physical
changes to the BVPS 1 and BVPS 2
facilities or operational changes are
being proposed in the application.
The proposed conforming
amendments would delete references to
Ohio Edison from the license of BVPS
1 and references to Cleveland Electric
from the license of BVPS 2, and add
references to FENGenCo to licenses of
both BVPS 1 and BVPS 2, as
appropriate.

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 direct 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,
