This action is being sought as a result of a corporate restructuring involving the creation of a new holding company which will become the parent of Duke Energy. The new holding company, to be named Duke Energy Corporation (referred to herein as New Duke Energy, to distinguish it from the licensee, Duke Energy), will be created in connection with the merger of Duke Energy with Cinergy Corporation (Cinergy). Duke Energy will convert its corporate form to a limited liability company (LLC) without interruption of its legal existence and be renamed Duke Power Company LLC (Duke Power). The holders of the Catawba Nuclear Station Renewed Facility Operating Licenses other than Duke Energy are not involved in this action. Approval of the indirect transfer of the Renewed Facility Operating Licenses and the Oconee ISFSI License was requested by Duke Energy pursuant to 10 CFR 50.80 and 10 CFR 72.50, respectively. Approval of conforming license amendments was requested pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90 and 72.56. Three notices entitled, ‘‘Notice of Consideration of Approval of Application Regarding Proposed Corporate Restructuring and Conforming Amendments, and Opportunity for a Hearing,’’ were published in the Federal Register on December 30, 2005 (70 FR 77430 (Catawba), 70 FR 77429 (McGuire), and 70 FR 77428 (Oconee)). No comments or hearing requests were received. Under 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. In addition, pursuant to 10 CFR 72.50, no license shall be transferred, directly or indirectly, through transfer of control of the license, unless the Commission gives its consent in writing. Upon review of the information in the application by Duke Energy and other information before the Commission, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has determined that the subject corporate restructuring will not affect the qualifications of Duke Energy, converted to Duke Power, to hold the licenses to the same extent now held by Duke Energy, and that the indirect E:\FR\FM\14FEN1.SGM 14FEN1
