26640 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 89 / Monday, May 8, 2000 / Notices

Recognized Testing Laboratory, subject

to the limitations and conditions listed

below.

Limitations

OSHA recognizes CSL for testing and

certification of products to demonstrate

conformance to the following five (5)

test standards, one part of the NRTL’s

scope of recognition. OSHA’s

recognition also includes the site and

the use of the two supplemental

programs, listed above. The Agency’s

recognition of CSL, or any NRTL, is

always limited to equipment or

materials (products) for which OSHA

standards require third party testing and

certification before use in the

workplace. As a result, OSHA’s

recognition of an NRTL for a test

standard excludes any product(s),

falling within the scope of the test

standard, for which OSHA has no such

requirements. OSHA has determined

that the standards listed below are

appropriate, within the meaning of 29

CFR 1910.7(c).

ANSI/UL 1459 Telephone Equipment

ANSI/UL 1950 Information

Technology Equipment Including

Electrical Business Equipment

UL 2601–1 Medical Electrical

Equipment, Part 1: General

Requirements for Safety

UL 3101–1 Electrical Equipment for

Laboratory Use; Part 1: General

Requirements

UL 3111–1 Electrical Measuring and

Test Equipment, Part 1: General

Requirements

The designations and titles of the

above standards were current at the time

of the preparation of the notice of the

preliminary finding.

Conditions

Curtis-Straus LLC. must also abide by

the following conditions of the

recognition, in addition to those already

required by 29 CFR 1910.7:

Within 30 days of certifying its first

products under the NRTL Program, CSL

will notify the OSHA NRTL Program

Director so that OSHA may review

CSL’s implementation of its procedures

for testing and certification of products

covered within the scope of the test

standards listed above.

As part of its system for authorization

or issuance of the use of its certification

mark, CSL must establish, maintain, and

utilize proper procedures that ensure its

mark is applied only to the specific

run(s) of production of the products that

CSL has certified.

OSHA must be allowed access to

CSL’s facilities and records for purposes

of ascertaining continuing compliance

with the terms of its recognition and to

investigate as OSHA deems necessary;

If CSL has reason to doubt the efficacy

of any test standard it is using under

this program, it must promptly inform

the organization that developed the test

standard of this fact and provide that

organization with appropriate relevant

information upon which its concerns

are based;

CSL must not engage in or permit

others to engage in any

misrepresentation of the scope or

conditions of its recognition. As part of

this condition, CSL agrees that it will

allow no representation of its

recognition as a Nationally Recognized

Testing Laboratory (NRTL) by OSHA

without clearly indicating the specific

equipment or material to which this

recognition is tied, or that its

recognition is limited to certain types of

products;

CSL must inform OSHA as soon as

possible, in writing, of any change of

ownership, facilities, or key personnel,

and of any major change in its

operations as an NRTL, including

details;

CSL will continue to meet all the

terms of its recognition and will always

comply with all OSHA policies

pertaining to this recognition;

CSL will continue to meet the

requirements for recognition in all areas

where it has been recognized; and

CSL will always cooperate with

OSHA to assure compliance with the

spirit as well as the letter of its

recognition and 29 CFR 1910.7.

Signed at Washington, D.C. this 21st day of

April, 2000.

Assistant Secretary.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50–443]

North Atlantic Energy Service

Corporation et al.; Seabrook Station,

Unit No. 1; Notice of Consideration of

Approval of Application Regarding

Proposed Corporate Restructuring and

Opportunity for a Hearing

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (the Commission) is

considering the issuance of an order

under 10 CFR 50.80 approving the

indirect transfer of Facility Operating

License No. NPF–86 for the Seabrook

Station, Unit 1 (Seabrook Station), to the

extent held by United Illuminating

Company (UI). The indirect transfer

would be to UIL Holdings Corporation

(Holdings), incorporated in Connecticut.

Currently, Holdings is a wholly owned

subsidiary of UI.

According to a February 17, 2000,

application, as supplemented on March

1, 2000, by UI for approval of certain

indirect license transfers, on January 24,

2000, UI entered into an ‘‘Agreement

and Plan of Merger and Share

Exchange’’ (Plan of Exchange) with

Holdings. Under the plan of exchange,

UI will become a wholly owned

subsidiary of Holdings, while the

unregulated businesses of UI will be

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 89 / Monday, May 8, 2000 / Notices 26641

transferred to Holdings as subsidiaries

thereof. The establishment of a new

parent for UI will effect an indirect

transfer of the Seabrook Station license

to the extent held by UI to Holdings. UI

holds a 17.5-percent ownership interest

in Seabrook Station; however, North

Atlantic Energy Services Corporation

(NAESCO) is exclusively authorized to

operate the unit. NAESCO would

remain as the managing agent for the 11

joint owners of the facility, including

UI, and would continue to have

exclusive responsibility for the

management, operation, and

maintenance of the Seabrook Station.

The application does not propose a

change in the rights, obligations, or

interests of the other 10 joint owners of

the Seabrook Station. In addition, no

physical changes to the Seabrook

Station facility or operational changes

are being proposed in the application.

No direct transfer of the license will

result from the proposed corporate

restructuring of UI.

The application also seeks approval of

a proposed indirect license transfer in

connection with UI’s partial ownership

of the Millstone Nuclear Power Station,

Unit 3, which will be the subject of a

separate notice.

Pursuant to 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 Commission shall

give its consent in writing. The

Commission will approve an

application for the indirect transfer of a

license, if the Commission determines

that the underlying transaction that will

effectuate the indirect transfer will not

affect the qualifications of the holder of

the license, and that the transfer is

otherwise consistent with applicable

provisions of law, regulations, and

orders issued by the Commission

pursuant thereto.

The filing of requests for hearing and

petitions for leave to intervene, and

written comments regarding the license

transfer application, are discussed

below.

By May 29, 2000, any person whose

interest may be affected by the

Commission’s action on the application

may request a hearing, and, if not the

applicants, may petition for leave to

intervene in a hearing proceeding on the

Commission’s action. Requests for a

hearing and petitions for leave to

intervene should be filed in accordance

with the Commission’s rules of practice

set forth in Subpart M, ‘‘Public

Notification, Availability of Documents

and Records, Hearing Requests and

Procedures for Hearings on License

Transfer Applications,’’ of 10 CFR Part

2. In particular, such requests and

petitions must comply with the

requirements set forth in 10 CFR 2.1306,

and should address the considerations

contained in 10 CFR 2.1308(a).

Untimely requests and petitions may be

denied, as provided in 10 CFR

2.1308(b), unless good cause for failure

to file on time is established. In

addition, an untimely request or

petition should address the factors that

the Commission will also consider, in

reviewing untimely requests or

petitions, set forth in 10 CFR

2.1308(b)(1)–(2).

Requests for a hearing and petitions

for leave to intervene should be served

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,

Washington, DC 20555–0001, Attention:

Rulemakings and Adjudications Staff, in

accordance with 10 CFR 2.1313.

The Commission will issue a notice or

order granting or denying a hearing

request or intervention petition,

designating the issues for any hearing

that will be held and designating the

Presiding Officer. A notice granting a

hearing will be published in the Federal

Register and served on the parties to the

hearing.

As an alternative to requests for

hearing and petitions to intervene, by

June 07, 2000, persons may submit

written comments regarding the license

transfer application, as provided for in

10 CFR 2.1305. The Commission will

consider and, if appropriate, respond to

these comments, but such comments

will not otherwise constitute part of the

decisional record. Comments should be

submitted to the Secretary, U.S. Nuclear

Regulatory Commission, Washington,

DC 20555–001, Attention: Rulemakings

and Adjudications Staff, and should cite

the publication date and page number of
