Commission (NRC, the Commission)
Possession Only License No. DPR–45,
with respect to the possession,

license. The LACBWR facility is located
in Vernon County, Wisconsin.

By Order dated September 24, 2019
(Transfer Order), the Commission
consented to the transfer of the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
00:30 Sep 04, 2021
Jkt 253001
LACBWR license to Dairyland Power
Cooperative and approved a conforming
license amendment in accordance with
Section 50.80, ‘‘Transfer of licenses,’’
and Section 50.90, ‘‘Application for
amendment of license, construction
permit, or early site permit,’’ of Title 10
of the Code of Federal Regulations (10
CFR). By its terms, the Transfer Order
becomes null and void if the license
transfer is not completed within one
year unless, upon application, and for
good cause shown, the Commission
extends the Transfer Order’s September
24, 2020, expiration date. By letter dated
June 24, 2020, LaCrosseSolutions, LLC
submitted a request to extend the
effectiveness of the Transfer Order by
six months. By Order dated September
1, 2020 (First Extension Order), the
Commission extended the Transfer
Order’s expiration date to March 24,
2021. Subsequently, by letter dated
February 2, 2021, LaCrosseSolutions,
LLC submitted a request to extend the
effectiveness of the Transfer Order by an
additional six months. By Order dated
March 9, 2021 (Second Extension
Order), the Commission extended the
Transfer Order’s expiration date to
September 24, 2021.
By letter dated August 17, 2021,
LaCrosseSolutions, LLC submitted a
request to extend the effectiveness of the
Transfer Order by an additional twelve
months, until September 24, 2022. As
stated in the letter, the LACBWR Final
Status Survey Final Reports (FSSRs),
their associated Release Records, and
responses to NRC staff requests for
additional information (RAIs) are
currently under review by the NRC staff.
The letter noted that, based on the
current status of the NRC review, it is
anticipated that additional time will be
needed to address questions or potential
issues identified by the NRC staff during
its review of the RAI responses and
revised LACBWR FSSRs. The letter also
stated that the extension would allow
adequate time for response development
by LaCrosseSolutions, LLC regarding
possible additional questions or
potential issues, and for the NRC staff to
assess the responses provided by
LaCrosseSolutions, LLC and to make a
final determination regarding the release
of the majority of the LACBWR site for
unrestricted use.
Based on the above, the NRC has
determined that LaCrosseSolutions, LLC
has shown good cause for extending the
effectiveness of the Transfer Order by an
additional twelve months, as requested.

license,'' and 50.90, ``Application for amendment of license,
construction permit, or early site permit,'' of Title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR). By its terms, the Transfer Order becomes
null and void if the transfer is not completed within one year (i.e.,
by November 26, 2020); provided, however, that upon written application
and for good cause shown, such date may be extended by order. By letter
dated August 27, 2020, ZionSolutions, LLC submitted a written
application to extend the effectiveness of the Transfer Order by six
months, until May 26, 2021. That request was approved by Order (First
Extension Order) dated October 21, 2020. Subsequently, by letter dated
April 15, 2021, ZionSolutions, LLC submitted a written application to
extend the effectiveness of the Transfer Order by an additional six
months, until November 26, 2021. That request was approved by Order
(Second Extension Order) dated May 12, 2021.
III
By letter dated August 17, 2021, ZionSolutions, LLC submitted a
written application to extend the effectiveness of the Transfer Order
by an additional twelve months, until November 26, 2022. As stated in
the application, responses to requests for additional information
regarding ZNPS Final Status Survey Final Reports and their associated
Release Records are currently under review by the NRC staff. The
extension would provide the NRC staff with additional time to assess
the responses provided by ZionSolutions, LLC and make a final
determination regarding the release of land for unrestricted use.
Based on the above, the NRC has determined that ZionSolutions, LLC
has shown good cause for extending the effectiveness of the Transfer
Order by an additional twelve months, as requested.
IV
Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 161b, 161i, and 184 of the Atomic
Energy Act of 1954, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Sections 2201(b), 2201(i),
and 2234; and 10 CFR 50.80 and 10 CFR 72.50, it is hereby ordered that
the expiration date of the Transfer Order, as extended by the Second
Extension Order, is further extended until November 26, 2022. If the
subject license transfer from ZionSolutions, LLC to Exelon Generation
Company, LLC is not completed by November 26, 2022, the Transfer Order
shall become null and void; provided, however, that upon written
application and for good cause shown, such date may be extended by
order.
This Order is effective upon issuance.
For further details with respect to this Order, see the written
application for extension dated August 17, 2021, which is available
electronically through the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and
Management System (ADAMS) in the NRC Library at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html under Accession No. ML21230A322. Persons who
encounter problems with ADAMS should contact the NRC's Public Document
Room reference staff by telephone at 1-800-397-4209 or 301-415-4737 or
by email to [email protected].
Dated this 30th day of August 2021.
