(Perry Nuclear Power Plant, Unit No. 1); Order Approving Application Regarding Proposed Corporate Restructuring I FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC) and FirstEnergy Nuclear Generation Corp. (FENGenCo), along with the Ohio Edison Company, are the holders of Facility Operating License NPF–58, which authorizes the possession, use, and operation of Perry Nuclear Power Plant, Unit No. 1 (Perry). The facility is located in Lake County, Ohio. II By letter dated June 6, 2006, as supplemented by letters dated June 9 PO 00000 Frm 00073 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 and August 15, 2006, FENOC, the licensed operator of Perry, acting on behalf of FENGenCo and FirstEnergy Solutions Corp. (FE Solutions), submitted an application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) requesting, pursuant to Section 50.80 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), approval of the indirect transfer of control of FENGenCo’s license to own 87.42 percent of Perry. FE Solutions and FENGenCo are both currently wholly owned direct subsidiaries of FirstEnergy Corp. (FirstEnergy). This action is being sought as a result of a planned corporate restructuring which would make FENGenCo: (1) A wholly owned direct subsidiary of FE Solutions; and (2) a wholly owned second-tier subsidiary of FirstEnergy. The Ohio Edison Company, which holds a leased interest in Perry and is licensed to possess such interest, is not involved in the planned corporate restructuring. The proposed corporate restructuring involves no changes to the facility license. Accordingly, no license amendments are requested in the application. A ‘‘Notice of Consideration of Approval of Application Regarding Proposed Corporate Restructuring, and Opportunity for a Hearing,’’ was published in the Federal Register on July 12, 2006 (71 FR 39370–39371). 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. Upon review of the information in the application submitted by FENOC and other information before the Commission, the NRC staff has determined that the subject corporate restructuring will not affect the qualifications of FENGenCo to hold the license to the same extent now held by FENGenCo, and that the indirect transfer of the license as held by FENGenCo effected by the corporate restructuring is otherwise consistent with applicable provisions of law, regulations, and orders issued by the Commission pursuant thereto, subject to the condition discussed herein. The findings set forth above are supported by a safety evaluation dated December 28, 2006. III Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 161b, 161i, and 184 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), 42 U.S.C. §§ 2201(b), 2201(i), and 2234; and 10 CFR 50.80, It is hereby ordered that the application regarding E:\FR\FM\08JAN1.SGM 08JAN1
