COMMISSION
[Docket Nos. 50–445 and 50–446]
TXU Generation Company LP
Comanche Peak Steam Electric
Station, Units 1 and 2; Notice of
Consideration of Approval of
Application Regarding Proposed
Indirect Transfer of Control of Facility
Operating Licenses and Conforming
License 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
indirect transfer of the Facility
Operating Licenses numbered NPF–87
and NPF–89, for the Comanche Peak
Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2
(CPSES) currently held by TXU
Generation Company LP, as owner and
licensed operator of CPSES. The
Commission is also considering
amending the licenses for
administrative purposes to reflect a
proposed name change.
According to an application for
approval filed by TXU Generation
Company LP, acting on behalf of itself
and Texas Energy Future Holdings
Limited Partnership (Texas Energy LP),
the applicants are requesting consent to
indirect transfer of control of TXU
Generation Company LP’s operating
licences for CPSES, in connection with
the acquisition of TXU Corporation by
Texas Energy LP. TXU Corporation is
the indirect owner of TXU Generation
Company LP.
No physical changes to the CPSES
facility or operational changes are being
proposed in the application.
In connection with the indirect
change of control, and the plans of
Texas Energy LP to clarify the
distinctions between TXU Corporation’s
state-regulated transmission and
distribution business and its other
businesses, TXU Generation Company
LP will be converted to a limited
liability company and renamed
Luminant Generation Company LLC.
Therefore, TXU Generation Company LP
has requested proposed conforming
amendments to Facility Operating
License Nos. NPF–87 and NPF–89 that
would replace references to TXU
Generation Company LP in the license
with references to Luminant Generation
Company LLC.
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 indirect transfer of a
license, if the Commission determines
that the proposed acquisition will not
affect the qualifications of the licensee
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,
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 from the date of
publication of this notice, any person
whose interest may be affected by the
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
with the Commission’s rules of practice
set forth in Subpart C ‘‘Rules of General
Applicability: Hearing Requests,
Petitions to Intervene, Availability of
Documents, Selection of Specific
Hearing Procedures, Presiding Officer
Powers, and General Hearing
Management for NRC Adjudicatory
Hearings,’’ of 10 CFR Part 2. In
particular, such requests and petitions
must comply with the requirements set
forth in 10 CFR 2.309. Untimely
requests and petitions may be denied, as
provided in 10 CFR 2.309(c)(1), unless
good cause for failure to file on time is
established. In addition, an untimely
request or petition should address the
factors that the Commission will also
consider, in reviewing untimely
