collection: NRC Form 396, ‘‘Certification
of Medical Examination by Facility
Licensee’’.
2. Current OMB approval number:
3150–0024.
3. How often the collection is
required: Upon application for an initial
operator license, every six years for the
renewal of operator or senior operator
license, and upon notices of disability.
4. Who is required or asked to report:
Facility licensees who are tasked with
certifying the medical fitness of an
applicant or licensee.
5. The number of annual respondents:

Exelon Generation Company, LLC,

Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3;
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 title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR), section 50.80
approving the transfer of Facility
Operating Licenses Nos. DPR–44 and
DPR–56 for the Peach Bottom Atomic
Power Station, Units 2 and 3, to the
extent currently held by PSEG Nuclear
LLC with respect to its ownership
interests in the plants to Exelon

Generation Company, LLC. Exelon
Generation Company, LLC, is the
licensed operator of Peach Bottom
Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3.
PSEG Nuclear LLC and Exelon
Generation Company, LLC, currently
each own 50 percent of Peach Bottom
Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3.
The transfer of PSEG Nuclear’s
ownership interests to Exelon
Generation Company, LLC, is part of the
proposed merger of PSEG Nuclear LLC’s
indirect parent corporation, Public
Service Enterprise Group into Exelon
Corporation, the indirect parent
company of Exelon Generation
Company, LLC. The Commission is also
considering amending the licenses for
administrative purposes to reflect the
proposed transfer.
According to an application for
approval filed by Exelon Generation
Company, LLC, on behalf of itself and
PSEG Nuclear LLC, Exelon Generation
Company, LLC, would own 100 percent
of the facility following approval of the
proposed license transfers. There would
be no change with regard to Exelon
Generation Company, LLC’s, operation
of Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station,
Units 2 and 3. No physical changes to
the Peach Bottom Atomic Power
Station, Units 2 and 3, facility or
operational changes are being proposed
in the application.
The proposed amendments would
replace references to PSEG Nuclear LLC
in the license with references to Exelon
Generation Company, LLC, as necessary,
to reflect the proposed transfer.
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 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 amendment, 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

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,
notwithstanding the general comment
procedures contained in 10 CFR 50.91.
The filing of requests for hearing and
petitions for leave to intervene, and
written comments with regard to the
license transfer application, are
discussed below.
Within 20 days of the date of
publication of this notice, any person

Commission’s action on the application
may request a hearing and, if not the
applicant, may petition for leave to
intervene in a hearing proceeding on the
Commission’s action. Requests for a
hearing and petitions for leave to
intervene should be filed in accordance

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.
