Notice of Initiation of Investigation To
Terminate Certification of Eligibility
Signed in Washington, DC, this 15th day of
February, 2013.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment
Assistance.
Pursuant to Section 221 of the Trade
Act of 1974, as amended, an
investigation was initiated in response
to a petition for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) filed on December 20,
2012 on behalf of workers of U.S. Steel
Tubular Products, McKeesport Tubular
Operations Division, Subsidiary of
United States Steel Corporation,
McKeesport, Pennsylvania (subject
firm). The workers’ firm produces steel
drill pipe and drill collars.
On January 28, 2013, the Department
issued a certification stating that the
criteria set forth in Section 222(e) of the
Trade Act of 1974, as amended, was
met.
A review of the determination and the
petition, however, revealed that the
certification was erroneously issued.
Specifically, the determination
inaccurately stated that the petition was
filed within a year of the March 3, 2011
publication in the Federal Register of
the International Trade Commission’s
finding that dumping of drill pipes and
drill collars from China negatively
impacted U.S. firms engaged in
production of those articles.
Although the subject firm was
publicly identified by name by the
International Trade Commission as a
member of a domestic industry in an
investigation resulting in a category of
determination that is listed in Section
222(e) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2272(e), the

NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION
Proposal Review; Notice of Meetings
In accordance with the Federal
Advisory Committee Act (Pub. L. 92–
463, as amended), the National Science
Foundation (NSF) announces its intent
to hold proposal review meetings
throughout the year. The purpose of
these meetings is to provide advice and
recommendations concerning proposals
submitted to the NSF for financial
support. The agenda for each of these
meetings is to review and evaluate
proposals as part of the selection
process for awards. The review and
evaluation may also include assessment
of the progress of awarded proposals.
The majority of these meetings will take
place at NSF, 4201 Wilson, Blvd.,
Arlington, Virginia 22230.
These meetings will be closed to the
public. The proposals being reviewed
include information of a proprietary or
confidential nature, including technical
information; financial data, such as
salaries; and personal information
concerning individuals associated with
the proposals. These matters are exempt
under 5 U.S.C. 552b(c), (4) and (6) of the
Government in the Sunshine Act. NSF
will continue to review the agenda and
merits of each meeting for overall

Order Approving the Proposed Internal
Restructuring and Indirect Transfer of
License
I
Luminant Generation Company LLC
(Luminant, the licensee), is the holder of
the Facility Operating License Nos.
NPF–87 and NPF–89, which authorizes
the possession, use, and operation of the
Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant,
Units 1 and 2 (CPNPP), and its
Independent Spent Fuel Storage

in Somervell County, Texas.

and December 17, 2012, the licensee,
acting on behalf of Energy Future
Holdings Corporation (EFH), Energy
Future Competitive Holdings Company
(EFCH), Texas Competitive Electric
Holdings Company LLC, and Luminant
Holding Company LLC, the applicants,
seek approval pursuant to 10 CFR 50.80
of the indirect transfer of control of
CPNPP, Units 1 and 2, Facility
Operating License Nos. NPF–87 and
NPF–89, respectively. The transfer also
involves the general license for CPNPP
Independent Spent Fuel Storage
Installation Facility.
EFCH is a direct, wholly owned
subsidiary of EFH. EFCH, through its
wholly owned subsidiaries, owns
Luminant, the owner and operator of
CPNPP. EFH is planning an internal
transaction, the ultimate result of which
is to convert EFCH from a Texas
corporation into a Delaware limited
liability corporation. Following the
conversion, EFCH will remain a wholly
owned subsidiary of EFH, and EFH will
retain the same assets, liabilities,
owners, board of directors, and
management. There will be no change of
control of EFH, EFCH, or Luminant as
a result of this internal restructuring. No
physical changes to the CPNPP facilities
or operational changes are proposed.
The internal restructuring will be
completed in several steps. EFH would
form a new wholly owned subsidiary
known as EFH2 corporation (EFH2),
which would be a Texas corporation.
EFH would then contribute its stock in
EFCH to EFH2 causing EFCH to become
a wholly owned subsidiary of EFH2.
EFCH would then convert to a Delaware
limited liability company by operation
of applicable Texas and Delaware law.
Finally, EFH would merge with and into
EFH2 with EFH2 being the surviving
entity, and EFH2 would change its name
to Energy Future Holdings Corporation
and adopt the current certificate of
formation and bylaws of EFH.
Approval of the indirect transfer of
the facility operating license was
requested by Luminant. A notice
entitled, AConsideration of Approval of
Application Containing Sensitive
Unclassified Non-Safeguards
Information Regarding Proposed Energy
Future Holdings Corporation Internal
Restructuring,’’ was published in the
Federal Register on January 2, 2013 (78
FR 119), and a correction notice was
published on January 10, 2013 (78 FR
2295). No comments or hearing requests
were received. The supplemental letters
dated November 26, December 5, and
December 17, 2012, provided additional
information that clarified the
application and did not expand the

scope of the application as originally
noticed.
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 U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC) shall give
its consent in writing. Upon review of
the information in the application as
supplemented, and other information
before the Commission, and relying
upon the representations and
agreements in the application, the NRC
staff has determined that the proposed
indirect transfer of control of the subject
licenses held by the licensee to the
extent such will result from the
proposed internal restructuring, as
described in the application, will not
affect the qualifications of the licensee
to hold the respective licenses and is
otherwise consistent with the applicable
provisions of law, regulations, and
orders issued by the NRC, pursuant
thereto, subject to the conditions set
forth below. The findings set forth above
are supported by a safety evaluation
dated February 25, 2013.

Accordingly, pursuant to Sections
161b, 161i, 161.o, 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 indirect license transfer is
approved, subject to the following
condition:
On October 10, 2007, Luminant Holding
Company LLC, the immediate parent
company of Luminant Power, provided
Luminant Power with a support agreement in
the amount of $250 million.
‘‘It is hereby ordered that in connection
with the proposed transaction, Luminant
Holding Company LLC shall increase the
amount available under this support
agreement to $300 million, which provides a
source of funding in an amount that is
adequate to fund approximately one year’s
worth of the average projected expense for
the fixed operations and maintenance (O&M)
of CPNPP.’’
It is further ordered that after receipt
of all required regulatory approvals of
the proposed indirect transfer action,
Luminant shall inform the Director of
the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
in writing of such receipt no later than
5 business days prior to the date of the
closing of the indirect transfer. Should
the proposed indirect transfer not be
completed within 1 year from the date
of this Order, this Order shall become
null and void, provided, however, upon
written application and good cause
shown, such date may be extended by
Order.
