Electric Power Association will acquire
ownership of the facility and EOI will
remain responsible for the operation
and maintenance of GGNS. The license
transfers are necessary to support a
proposed separation of the Entergy
transmission system in Arkansas,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and
Texas. Currently, the utility operating
company subsidiaries of Entergy (e.g.
EMI) own the transmission assets.
Following the proposed transactions,
each of the Entergy subsidiaries will
become a new limited liability company
with the same assets except that the
transmission assets will be owned by
ITC Holdings Corp. and operated by
Midwest Independent Transmission
System Operator, Inc.
No physical changes to the facilities
or operational changes are being
proposed in the application. The
interconnections that provide offsite
power to GGNS do not change as a
result of the proposed direct and
indirect license transfers.
Approval of the direct and indirect
transfers of the facility operating license
was requested by EOI, acting on behalf
of SERI, as well as their parent
companies and itself. A notice entitled,
‘‘Consideration of Approval of
Application Regarding Proposed
Creation of a Holding Company and
Transfer of Facility Operating License
and Conforming Amendment and
Opportunity for a Hearing,’’ was
published in the Federal Register on
January 3, 2013 (78 FR 325). 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 NRC shall give its
consent in writing. Upon review of the
information in the licensees’
application, and other information
before the Commission, the NRC staff
has determined that the proposed
indirect license transfer of control of the
subject license held by the licensees to
the extent such will result from the
proposed formation of the intermediary
holding company in conjunction with
the planned direct transfer of SERI to
SERL, and EMI to EML, to the extent
affected in order to support transfer of
the Entergy transmission assets as
described in the application, 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 NRC staff has further
found that the application for the
proposed license amendment complies
with the standards and requirements of
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001
the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as
amended (the Act), and the
Commission’s rules and regulations set
forth in 10 CFR Chapter I; the facilities
will operate in conformity with the
application, the provisions of the Act
and the rules and regulations of the
Commission; there is reasonable
assurance that the activities authorized
by the proposed license amendment can
be conducted without endangering the
health and safety of the public and that
such activities will be conducted in
compliance with the Commission’s
regulations; the issuance of the
proposed license amendment will not
be inimical to the common defense and
security or to the health and safety of
the public; and the issuance of the
proposed amendment will be in
accordance with 10 CFR Part 51 of the
Commission’s regulations and all
applicable requirements have been
satisfied. The findings set forth above
are supported by a safety evaluation
dated the same day as this Order.

Energy Act of 1954, as amended, 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 indirect and direct license transfers
related to the proposed corporate
restructuring in connection with the
separation of the Entergy transmission
systems is approved, subject to the
following conditions:
1. Before completion of the proposed
transaction, EOI shall provide the
Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor
Regulation satisfactory documentary
evidence that SERL has obtained the
appropriate amount of insurance
required of the licensees under 10 CFR
part 140 of the Commission’s
regulations.
It is further ordered that consistent
with 10 CFR 2.1315(b), the license
amendment that makes a change, as
indicated in Enclosure 5 to the cover
letter forwarding this Order
(Agencywide Documents Access and
Management System (ADAMS)
Accession No. ML13077A237), to reflect
the subject direct transfer, is approved.
The amendment shall be issued and
made effective at the time the proposed
direct transfer action is completed.
It is further ordered that after receipt
of all required regulatory approvals of
the proposed direct transfer action, EOI
shall inform the Director of the Office of
Nuclear Reactor Regulation in writing of
such receipt, and of the date of closing,
no later than 1 business day before the
closing of the direct transfer. Should the

By application dated September 27,
2012, as supplemented by letters dated
January 29 and April 16, 2013, EOI
requested on behalf of itself, EAI, and
their parent companies (together, the
applicants), pursuant to § 50.80 of Title
10 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(10 CFR), that the U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC) consent
to certain license transfers to permit the
direct transfer of ANO–1 and ANO–2,
and associated Independent Spent Fuel
Storage Installations, to a new limited
liability company, Entergy Arkansas,
LLC (EAL). The applicants also
requested approval of conforming
license amendments that would replace
references to EAI in the license with
references to EAL to reflect the transfer
of ownership. In addition, the
applicants requested the NRC’s consent
to approve associated indirect license
transfers to the extent such would be
affected by the formation of a new
intermediary holding company. Entergy
Corporation (Entergy) will remain as the
ultimate parent company, but a new
intermediate company, Entergy Utilities
Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company, will be created,
which will be the direct parent
company of EAL and EOI. Ultimately,
EAL will acquire ownership of the
facility and EOI will remain responsible
for the operation and maintenance of
ANO–1 and ANO–2. The license
transfers are necessary to support a
proposed separation of the Entergy
transmission system in Arkansas,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and
Texas. Currently, the utility operating
company subsidiaries of Entergy (e.g.,
EAI) own the respective transmission
assets. Following the proposed
transactions, each of the Entergy
subsidiaries will become a new limited

interconnections that provide offsite
power to ANO–1 and ANO–2 do not
change as a result of the proposed direct
and indirect license transfers.
Approval of the direct and indirect
transfers of the facility operating license
was requested by EOI, acting on behalf

By application dated September 27,
2012, as supplemented by letters dated
January 29 and April 16, 2013, Entergy
Operations, Inc. (EOI), requested on
behalf of itself, SERI, and their parent
companies (together, the applicants),
pursuant to § 50.80 and § 52.28 of Title
10 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(10 CFR), that the U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC) consent
to certain license transfers to permit the
direct transfer of Grand Gulf ESP Site,
to a new limited liability company,
System Energy Resource, LLC (SERL).
The applicants also requested approval
of conforming ESP amendment that
would replace references to SERI in the
ESP with references to SERL to reflect
the transfer of ownership. In addition,
the applicants requested the NRC
consent to approve associated indirect
license transfers to the extent such
would be affected by the formation of a
new intermediary holding company.
Entergy Corporation (Entergy) will
remain as the ultimate parent company,
but a new intermediate company,
Entergy Utilities Holdings, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company, will
be created, which will be the direct
parent company of SERL. Ultimately,
SERL will hold the ESP. The license
transfers are necessary to support a

Approval of the direct and indirect
transfers of the ESP was requested by
EOI, acting on behalf of SERI, as well as
their parent companies and itself. A
notice entitled, ‘‘Consideration of
Approval of Application Regarding
Proposed Creation of a Holding
Company and Transfer of Early Site
Permit and Conforming Amendment
and Opportunity for a Hearing,’’ was
published in the Federal Register on
January 11, 2013 (78 FR 2451). No
hearing requests or petitions to
intervene were received. The NRC
received comments from a member of
the public in Webster, Texas, on
February 8, 2013 (Agencywide
Documents Access and Management
System (ADAMS) Accession No.
ML13044A011). The comments did not
provide any information in addition to
that in the application, nor did they
provide any information contradictory
to that provided in the application.
Under 10 CFR 50.80 and 52.28, no
license or permit, or any right
thereunder, shall be transferred, directly
or indirectly, through transfer of control
of the ESP, unless the NRC shall give its
consent in writing. Upon review of the
information in the application, and
other information before the
Commission, the NRC staff has
determined that the proposed indirect
transfer of control of the subject ESP
held by SERI to the extent such will
result from the proposed formation of
the intermediary holding company in
conjunction with the planned direct
transfer of SERI to SERL to the extent
affected in order to support transfer of
the Entergy transmission assets as
described in the application, 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 NRC staff has further
found that the application for the
proposed ESP amendment complies
with the standards and requirements of
the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as
amended (the Act), and the
Commission’s rules and regulations set
forth in 10 CFR Chapter I; the facilities
will operate in conformity with the
application, the provisions of the Act
and the rules and regulations of the
Commission; there is reasonable
assurance that the activities authorized
by the proposed ESP amendment can be
conducted without endangering the
health and safety of the public and that
such activities will be conducted in
compliance with the Commission’s
regulations; the issuance of the

accordance with 10 CFR Part 51 of the
Commission’s regulations and all
applicable requirements have been
satisfied. The findings set forth above

application regarding the indirect and
direct ESP transfers related to the
proposed corporate restructuring in

amendment that makes a change, as
indicated in Enclosure 7 to the cover
letter forwarding this Order (ADAMS
Accession No. ML13077A237), to reflect
the subject direct transfer, is approved.
The amendment shall be issued and
made effective at the time the proposed
direct transfer action is completed.
It is further ordered that after receipt
of all required regulatory approvals of
the proposed direct transfer action, EOI
shall inform the Director of the Office of
Nuclear Reactor Regulation and the
Director of the Office of New Reactors
in writing of such receipt, and of the
date of closing, no later than 1 business
day before the closing of the direct
transfer. Should the proposed direct
transfer not be completed within 1 year

Indirect Transfers of Licenses and Approving Conforming Amendments
I
Entergy Arkansas, Inc. (EAI), and Entergy Operations, Inc. (EOI)
(the licensees), are co-holders of Renewed Facility Operating License
Nos. DPR-51 and NPF-6. The EAI is the owner and EOI is authorized to
possess, use, and operate Arkansas Nuclear One, Units. 1 and 2 (ANO-1
and ANO-2); located in Pope County, Arkansas.
[[Page 28004]]
II
By application dated September 27, 2012, as supplemented by letters
dated January 29 and April 16, 2013, EOI requested on behalf of itself,
EAI, and their parent companies (together, the applicants), pursuant to
Sec. 50.80 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR),
that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) consent to certain
license transfers to permit the direct transfer of ANO-1 and ANO-2, and
associated Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations, to a new
limited liability company, Entergy Arkansas, LLC (EAL). The applicants
also requested approval of conforming license amendments that would
replace references to EAI in the license with references to EAL to
reflect the transfer of ownership. In addition, the applicants
requested the NRC's consent to approve associated indirect license
transfers to the extent such would be affected by the formation of a
new intermediary holding company. Entergy Corporation (Entergy) will
remain as the ultimate parent company, but a new intermediate company,
Entergy Utilities Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company,
will be created, which will be the direct parent company of EAL and
EOI. Ultimately, EAL will acquire ownership of the facility and EOI
will remain responsible for the operation and maintenance of ANO-1 and
ANO-2. The license transfers are necessary to support a proposed
separation of the Entergy transmission system in Arkansas, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Missouri, and Texas. Currently, the utility operating
company subsidiaries of Entergy (e.g., EAI) own the respective
transmission assets. Following the proposed transactions, each of the
Entergy subsidiaries will become a new limited liability company with
the same assets except that the transmission assets will be owned by
ITC Holdings Corp. and operated by Midwest Independent Transmission
System Operator, Inc.
No physical changes to the facilities or operational changes are
being proposed in the application. The interconnections that provide
offsite power to ANO-1 and ANO-2 do not change as a result of the
proposed direct and indirect license transfers.
Approval of the direct and indirect transfers of the facility
operating license was requested by EOI, acting on behalf of EAI, as
well as their parent companies and itself. A notice entitled,
``Consideration of Approval of Application Regarding Proposed Creation
of a Holding Company and Transfer of Renewed Facility Operating
Licenses and Conforming Amendments and Opportunity for a Hearing,'' was
published in the Federal Register on January 3, 2013 (78 FR 328). 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 NRC shall give its consent in writing. Upon review
of the information in the licensees' application, and other information
before the Commission, the NRC staff has determined that the proposed
indirect license transfer of control of the subject licenses held by
the licensees to the extent such will result from the proposed
formation of the intermediary holding company in conjunction with the
planned direct transfer of EAI to EAL to the extent affected in order
to support transfer of the Entergy transmission assets as described in
the application, 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 NRC staff has further
found that the application for the proposed license amendments complies
with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954,
as amended (the Act), and the Commission's rules and regulations set
forth in 10 CFR Chapter I; the facilities will operate in conformity
with the application, the provisions of the Act and the rules and
regulations of the Commission; there is reasonable assurance that the
activities authorized by the proposed license amendments can be
conducted without endangering the health and safety of the public and
that such activities will be conducted in compliance with the
Commission's regulations; the issuance of the proposed license
amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or

proposed amendments will be in accordance with 10 CFR Part 51 of the
Commission's regulations and all applicable requirements have been

Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 161b, 161i, 161o, and 184 of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, 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 indirect and direct license transfers related
to the proposed corporate restructuring in connection with the
separation of the Entergy transmission system is approved, subject to
the following conditions:
1. Before completion of the proposed transaction, EOI shall provide
the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation satisfactory
documentary evidence that EAL has obtained the appropriate amount of
insurance required of the licensees under 10 CFR Part 140 of the
Commission's regulations.
It is further ordered that consistent with 10 CFR 2.1315(b), the
