Molycorp, the original Licensee,
previously held export licenses nos.
XSOU8707 and XSOU8827. The
Licensee address included on these
export licenses was the Mountain Pass
rare earth mine and processing facility.
After Molycorp filed for bankruptcy, MP

Mine Operations LLC (MPMO)
purchased the Mountain Pass rare earth
mine and processing facility from
Molycorp pursuant to an asset purchase
agreement dated June 19, 2017,
(Agencywide Documents Access and
Management System [ADAMS]
Accession No. ML17297B230).
Although the ‘‘purchased assets’’
covered by this agreement included ‘‘all
Permits . . . to the extent transferable,’’
the export licenses held by Molycorp
were not transferred to MPMO at that
time (see sections 2.1(b)(viii) and 2.7(a)
of the asset purchase agreement).
MPMO, a Delaware limited liability
company, is controlled by two U.S.
investment funds, JHL Capital Group
Holdings Fund Two and QVT Financial
LP, which combined have a 90.01
percent economic stake and own 100
percent of the voting common units for
MPMO. Shenghe Resources Holding
Co., Ltd., through its subsidiary Leshan
Shenghe Rare Earth Co., Ltd., owns a
9.99 percent non-voting preferred stake
for MPMO, and has no voting rights in
MPMO. Both Shenghe Resources
Holding Co., Ltd. and Leshan Shenghe
Rare Earth Co., Ltd. are foreign
companies.
II.
By letter dated August 14, 2017
(ADAMS Accession Nos. ML17236A034
and ML17236A039), as supplemented
by letter dated October 5, 2017,
(ADAMS Accession No. ML17297A131)
and revised applications dated October
19, 2017, (ADAMS Accession Nos.
ML17296A544 and ML17296A693),
MPMO requested approval from the
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) to transfer control of export
licenses nos. XSOU8707 and XSOU8827
from Molycorp to MPMO. This request
was made pursuant to Section 184 of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended
(AEA) (42 U.S.C. 2234) and Title 10 of
the Code of Federal Regulations (10
CFR) 110.50(d). In association with the
proposed direct transfer, MPMO has
requested that both licenses be amended
to change the Licensee from Molycorp
to MPMO, and that the expiration date
for XSOU8827 be extended by one
month (to December 31, 2021). In
addition, as part of the amendment
applications, MPMO provided updated
contact information for the Licensee
contact (John Benfield, who is currently
listed as the Licensee contact on both
licenses and is now working for
MPMO).
The revised applications dated
October 19, 2017, were made publicly
available in ADAMS on October 23,
2017. No requests for hearing or
comments were received.
