Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 68 / Tuesday, April 9, 2019 / Notices
continues to monitor FENOC’s
decommissioning financial assurance
for its reactors and ISFSIs to ensure
adequate funding and compliance with
requirements for decommissioning
funding.
The Petition Review Board (PRB)
determined that no further actions were
needed, and the NRC made no changes
to the final director’s decision as a result
of this comment.
Comment 2 (from the petitioner’s letter
dated January 22, 2019, page 2):
The Environmental Law and Policy
Center (ELPC) requested that the NRC
postpone acting upon the proposed
director’s decision and hold open
ELPC’s petition until the NRC can
review the December 31, 2018,
decommissioning funding status
information.
Response 2:
In the proposed director’s decision,
the NRC described the existing
requirements and processes in place to
monitor the decommissioning funding
status of the licensees. If the report
demonstrates that FENOC has sufficient
funding in its trust, then no further
action is necessary. For licensees that
are no longer rate-regulated or do not
have access to a non-bypassable charge,
as is the case for FENOC and NG, any
shortfalls identified in the report must
be corrected by the time the next
decommissioning funding status reports
are due (March 31, 2020).
The PRB determined that no further
actions were needed, and the NRC made
no changes to the final director’s
decision as a result of this comment.

Comment 3 (from the petitioner’s letter
dated January 22, 2019, pages 2 and 3):
If the NRC does not act now to ensure
that FES, FENOC, and NG reserve
adequate funds for decommissioning,
parent company FE could seek to fully
extricate itself from any
decommissioning obligations before the
NRC can identify the extent of the
funding shortfalls.
Response 3:
As stated in the proposed director’s
decision, the U.S. Department of Justice,
and the NRC’s Office of the General
Counsel, are working closely together to
represent the NRC’s interests in the
bankruptcy proceeding, including
protection and preservation of the
decommissioning trust funds and
continued compliance with
decommissioning requirements. The
proceeding in the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court may result in changes to FENOC’s
debt structure, including reorganization

and the transfer of control of the reactor
operating licenses. Any such license
transfers would be subject to NRC
review and approval. As such, NRC
approval of a license transfer would be
required before FE could be removed
from the current corporate structure for
purposes relating to NRC licensing. NRC
license transfer reviews include, among
other things, a review of the applicant’s
financial qualifications, technical
qualifications, and decommissioning
funding. To approve the license transfer,
the NRC must find that the applicant
has demonstrated that there is
reasonable assurance that sufficient
funds will be available for the
decommissioning process. Ultimately,
the licensee is responsible for
compliance with NRC decommissioning
financial assurance regulations, and the
NRC will continue to monitor the
remaining licensee’s continued
compliance. While the bankruptcy
proceeding is in progress, and until
license termination, licensees are
required to continue to comply with
NRC regulations.
The PRB determined that no further
actions were needed, and the NRC made
no changes to the final director’s
decision as a result of this comment.
Comment 4 (from the petitioner’s letter
dated January 22, 2019, page 3):
There is no suggestion in the
proposed Director’s Decision that the
NRC has reviewed Chapter 11 monthly
statements of financial affairs, nor that
it has assessed the status of the Chapter
11 proceedings.
Response 4:
As stated in the proposed director’s
decision, the U.S. Department of Justice
and the NRC’s Office of the General
Counsel are working closely together to
represent the NRC’s interests in the
bankruptcy proceeding, including
protection and preservation of the
decommissioning trust funds and
continued compliance with
decommissioning requirements. The
U.S. Department of Justice has reviewed
Chapter 11 monthly statements of
financial affairs, and is actively
involved in the status of the Chapter 11
proceedings.
The PRB determined that no further
actions were needed, and the NRC made
no changes to the final director’s
decision as a result of this comment.
