report being affected by those events.
Also relevant to NEA decision-makers,
the data will allow the NEA to gauge
how such responses vary by different
types of events and audience groups.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
[NRC–2013–0096; Docket Nos. 50–295 and
50–304; License Nos. DPR–39 and DPR–
48]
In the Matter of Zion Solutions, LLC;
Zion Nuclear Power Station, Units 1
and 2; Order Approving Indirect
Transfer of Control of Facility
Operating Licenses
I.
ZionSolutions, LLC (ZS) is the
licensee and owner of the Zion Nuclear
Power Station, Units 1 and 2 (ZNPS) in
Zion, Illinois.
II.
By letter dated January 10, 2013, ZS
submitted an application requesting that
the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) consent to the
indirect transfer of control of Facility
Operating License Nos. DPR–39 and
DPR–48 for the Zion Nuclear Power
Station, Units 1 and 2 held by ZS,
including the General License for the
Zion Independent Spent Fuel Storage
Installation (ISFSI).
The transfer will occur as a result of
a proposed transaction whereby the
current ultimate parent holding
company of ZS, EnergySolutions, Inc.
(ES, Inc.), would be directly acquired by
PO 00000
Frm 00048

Sfmt 4703
Rockwell Holdco, Inc. (Rockwell), a
Delaware corporation that was formed
for the purpose of acquiring ES, Inc. and
is held by certain investment fund
entities organized by controlled
affiliates of Energy Capital Partners II,
LLC (ECP II). No physical changes to the
ZNPS are being proposed.
Approval of the indirect transfer of
the licenses was requested pursuant to
Section 184 of the Atomic Energy Act of
1954, as amended (AEA) (42 U.S.C.
2234) and Section 50.80 of Title 10 of
the Code of Federal Regulations (10
CFR). A notice of the request for
approval and opportunity for a hearing
or to submit written comments was
published in the Federal Register on
February 20, 2013 (78 FR 11904). No
requests for a hearing were received in
response to this notice. Two comments
were received in response to this notice.
Pursuant to Section 184 of the AEA,
no license granted under the AEA, and
pursuant to 10 CFR 50.80, no license
granted under 10 CFR Part 50, shall be
transferred, assigned, or in any manner
disposed of, directly or indirectly,
through transfer of control of any
license to any person unless the
Commission, finds that the proposed
transferee is qualified to be the holder
of the license and that the transfer is in
accordance with the provisions of law,
regulations, and orders issued by the
Commission, and gives its consent in
writing.
Upon review of the information
received from ZS, and other information
before the Commission, and relying
upon the representations and
agreements contained in the Transfer
Application, the NRC staff finds that: (1)
the qualifications of ZS regarding the
proposed indirect transfer of control of
ZNPS are not changed, and (2) the
proposed indirect transfer of the
licenses due to the purchase of the
current ultimate parent holding
company of ZS, EnergySolutions, Inc.,
which would be directly acquired by
Rockwell Holdco, Inc. is otherwise
consistent with applicable provisions of
laws, regulations and orders issued by
the Commission pursuant thereto.
The findings set forth above are
supported by a Safety Evaluation (SE)
dated May 8, 2013.
The commenters opined that the
transfer would disadvantage financial
stakeholders. As stated in the
supporting SE., the staff reviewed the
proposed transfer and found no
financial issues with the proposal. In
addition, the proposed transfer in no
way affects the current financial
reporting requirements or the NRC
annual review of those reports. Based on
the review the staff finds no
E:\FR\FM\17MYN1.SGM
17MYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 96 / Friday, May 17, 2013 / Notices
disadvantage to financial stakeholder by
the proposed transfer.
III.
Accordingly, pursuant to Section 184
of the AEA Act of 1954, as amended and
Section 50.80 of 10 CFR, it is hereby
ordered that the indirect transfer of
control of ZNPS, as described herein, is
approved.
It is further ordered that after receipt
of all required regulatory approvals of
the proposed indirect transfer, ZS shall
inform the Director of the Office of
Federal and State Materials and
Environmental Management Programs,
in writing, of such receipt no later than
one (1) business day prior to the closing
of the proposed indirect transfer.
Should the proposed indirect transfer
not be completed within 60 days from
the date of issuance of this Order, the
Order shall become null and void;
however, on written application and for
good cause shown, such date may be
extended by order.
This Order is effective upon issuance.

Order, see the application dated January
10, 2013 (which can be found at

DPR-48]
In the Matter of Zion Solutions, LLC; Zion Nuclear Power Station,
Units 1 and 2; Order Approving Indirect Transfer of Control of Facility
Operating Licenses
I.
ZionSolutions, LLC (ZS) is the licensee and owner of the Zion
Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2 (ZNPS) in Zion, Illinois.
II.
By letter dated January 10, 2013, ZS submitted an application
requesting that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) consent to
the indirect transfer of control of Facility Operating License Nos.
DPR-39 and DPR-48 for the Zion Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2
held by ZS, including the General License for the Zion Independent
Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI).
The transfer will occur as a result of a proposed transaction
whereby the current ultimate parent holding company of ZS,
EnergySolutions, Inc. (ES, Inc.), would be directly acquired by
Rockwell Holdco, Inc. (Rockwell), a Delaware corporation that was
formed for the purpose of acquiring ES, Inc. and is held by certain
investment fund entities organized by controlled affiliates of Energy
Capital Partners II, LLC (ECP II). No physical changes to the ZNPS are
being proposed.
Approval of the indirect transfer of the licenses was requested
pursuant to Section 184 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended
(AEA) (42 U.S.C. 2234) and Section 50.80 of Title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR). A notice of the request for approval and
opportunity for a hearing or to submit written comments was published
in the Federal Register on February 20, 2013 (78 FR 11904). No requests
for a hearing were received in response to this notice. Two comments
were received in response to this notice.
Pursuant to Section 184 of the AEA, no license granted under the
AEA, and pursuant to 10 CFR 50.80, no license granted under 10 CFR Part
50, shall be transferred, assigned, or in any manner disposed of,
directly or indirectly, through transfer of control of any license to
any person unless the Commission, finds that the proposed transferee is
qualified to be the holder of the license and that the transfer is in
accordance with the provisions of law, regulations, and orders issued

Upon review of the information received from ZS, and other
information before the Commission, and relying upon the representations
and agreements contained in the Transfer Application, the NRC staff
finds that: (1) the qualifications of ZS regarding the proposed
indirect transfer of control of ZNPS are not changed, and (2) the
proposed indirect transfer of the licenses due to the purchase of the
