Dpr–31 And Dpr–41] In the Matter of Florida Power and Light Company; (Turkey Point Plant, Unit Nos. 3 And 4); Order Approving Application Regarding Corporate Merger I Florida Power and Light Company (FPL or the licensee) is the holder of the Facility Operating Licenses, Nos. DPR– 31 and DPR–41, which authorize the possession, use, and operation of the Turkey Point Plant, Units 3 and 4 (the facility). FPL is licensed by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) to operate the facility. The facility is located at the licensee’s site in Miami-Dade County, Florida. II By application dated January 20, 2006 (the application), FPL requested that the NRC, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.80, consent to the proposed indirect transfer of control of the licenses for the facility. According to the application filed by FPL, the facility is wholly owned by FPL. As stated in the application, in connection with the proposed merger of FPL’s parent company, FPL Group, Inc. (FPL Group), and Constellation Energy Group, Inc. (CEG, Inc.), FPL Group will become a wholly owned subsidiary of CEG, Inc. At the closing of the merger, the former shareholders of FPL Group will own approximately 60 percent of the outstanding stock of CEG, Inc., and PO 00000 Frm 00062 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 46245 the premerger shareholders of CEG, Inc., will own the remaining approximately 40 percent. In addition, the CEG, Inc., Board of Directors will be composed of fifteen members, nine of whom will be named by FPL Group, and six of whom will be named by the current CEG, Inc. Approval of the indirect transfer of the facility operating licenses was requested by FPL pursuant to 10 CFR 50.80. Notice of the request for approval and an opportunity for a hearing was published in the Federal Register on February 22, 2006 (71 FR 9170). No comments or petitions to intervene were received. 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. Upon review of the information in the application by FPL and other information before the Commission, the NRC staff concludes that the proposed merger and resulting indirect transfer of control of the licenses will not affect the qualifications of FPL as a holder of the facility licenses, and that the indirect transfer of control of the license as held by FPL, is otherwise consistent with applicable provisions of law, regulations, and orders issued by the Commission pursuant thereto. The findings set forth above are supported by a safety evaluation dated August 3, 2006. III Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 161b, 161i, 161o, and 184 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), 42 U.S.C. 2201(b), 2201(i), 2201(o), and 2234; and 10 CFR 50.80, It is hereby ordered that the application regarding the proposed merger and indirect license transfer is approved, subject to the following conditions: (1) FPL shall provide the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation a copy of any application, at the time it is filed, to transfer (excluding grants of security interests or liens) from FPL to its parent, or to any other affiliated company, facilities for the production, transmission, or distribution of electric energy having a depreciated book value exceeding ten percent (10%) of FPL’s net utility plant, as recorded on its books of accounts. (2) Should the proposed merger not be completed within one year from the date of issuance, this Order shall become null and void, provided, however, upon written application and good cause shown, such date may, in writing, be extended. This Order is effective upon issuance. E:\FR\FM\11AUN1.SGM 11AUN1
