According to the submittal, diligent efforts have been made to obtain the required State and Federal regulatory approvals, and many of the required approvals have been obtained. However, proceedings are ongoing before the New York State Public Service Commission and the State of Vermont Public Service Board and these two State agencies may not complete their regulatory approval processes in time to complete the restructuring and establishment of Enexus Energy Corporation prior to July 28, 2009, as required by the NRC Orders consenting to the proposed restructuring and associated indirect license transfers. In addition, according to the submittal, considerable progress has been made in securing financing to support the proposed transactions. However, uncertainties in the current financial markets and the need to obtain required State regulatory approvals have slowed the process of obtaining all of the requisite financing necessary to complete the transactions, making it difficult for the licensees to conclude that all of the necessary arrangements will be complete in time to support a closing of the transactions by July 28, 2009. Finally, the licensee has concluded that there has been no material change in the technical and financial qualifications presented in the original application and relied upon by the NRC staff under which the NRC issued the Orders. According to the submittal, the technical qualifications of the new organization and other bases for approving the transfers remain intact, and the various inter-company contractual arrangements and the financial support arrangements, as described in the original application and supplemental information, remain valid and fully support the NRC staff’s findings. On June 3, 2009, Mr. Sherwood Martinelli submitted a request for hearing regarding the extension, which is currently pending before the Commission. The NRC staff has considered the submittal of May 15, 2009, as supplemented by letter dated May 29, 2009, and has determined that good cause has been shown to extend the effectiveness of the Orders of July 28, 2008, as requested.
