Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 108 / Monday, June 5, 2000 / Notices 35675

1The Commission determined in the 1998 Order

that HPI’s interests in 84 LIHTC Properties were

retainable under section 9(c)(3) of the Act, because

the interests were acquired to generate tax credits

under section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code and

they were being converted into passive investments.

2. General

(a) Are there any additional issues

that should be considered? If so, what

are they and what are your views on

them?

(b) Do you believe that hearings

would be useful in preparing the

required report to Congress? If so, do

you wish to participate in any hearings?

Information collected from responses

to this Federal Register Notice will be

considered when preparing the required

report for Congress.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

Notice of Availability; NUREG–1700,

‘‘Standard Review Plan for Evaluating

for Nuclear Power Reactor License

Termination Plans’’

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission is noticing issuance of

NUREG–1700, ‘‘Standard Review Plan

for Evaluating Nuclear Power Reactor

License Termination Plans.’’ The

standard review plan (SRP) guides staff

reviewers on performing safety reviews

of license termination plans (LTPs).

Although the SRP is intended to be used

by the NRC staff in conducting reviews,

it can be used by interested parties

responsible for conducting their own

licensing review or developing an LTP.

The principal purpose of the SRP is to

ensure the quality and uniformity of

staff reviews and to present a welldefined base from which to evaluate the

requirements. It is also the purpose of

the SRP to make the information about

regulatory matters widely available to

improve the understanding of the staff’s

review process by interested members of

the public and the nuclear industry.

For further details with respect to this

action, the documents are available for

inspection at the NRC’s Public

Electronic Room at http://www.nrc.gov.

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 11th day

of May 2000.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Acting Chief, Decommissioning Branch,

Alliant Energy Corporation, et al. (70–

9323)

Alliant Energy Corporation

(‘‘Alliant’’), a registered holding

company, its wholly owned

intermediate nonutility holding

company, Alliant Energy Resources, Inc.

(‘‘AER’’), both located at 222 West

Washington Avenue, Madison,

Wisconsin 53703, and AER’s nonutility

subsidiary, Heartland Properties, Inc.

(‘‘HPI’’ and together with Alliant and

AER, ‘‘Applicants’’), 122 West

Washington Avenue, 6th Floor,

Madison, Wisconsin 53703, have filed

an post-effective amendment, under

section 9(c)(3) of the Act and rule 54

under the Act, to an application

previously filed under the Act.

Under the terms of an order dated

April 14, 1998 (HCAR No. 26856)

(‘‘1998 Order’’), Alliant is currently

authorized to hold passive investments,

through HPI, in low-income housing

projects (‘‘LIHTC Properties’’).1 Under

the terms of the 1998 Order, HPI

indirectly owns a 1% general

partnership interest in an investment

fund, more particularly described

below, that indirectly holds limited

partnership interests in seventeen

LIHTC Properties (‘‘Fund Properties’’),

nine of which are located outside the

Alliant service territory. In addition to

the investments permitted in the 1998

Order, Applicants are authorized by

order dated August 13, 1999 (HCAR No.

27060) to invest up to $50 million

(‘‘Investment Limitation’’) from time to

time over a five-year period to acquire

additional LIHTC Properties in the

Alliant Energy service territory.

The investment fund, Heartland

Properties Equity Investment Fund I

(‘‘Fund’’), is a limited partnership that

holds limited partnership interests

ranging between 88.9% and 99% in

several other limited partnerships that

own the Fund Properties. HPI’s 1%

general partnership interest in the Fund

is held by its wholly owned subsidiary,

Heartland Fund I, Inc. Minnesota Life

Insurance Company (‘‘MLIC’’) is the sole

limited partner in the Fund with a 99%

limited partnership interest.

HPI has been approached by MLIC

about the possibility of selling its

limited partnership interest in the Fund

to HPI. In order to consummate the

transaction, Applicants now propose to

modify the existing limitation on

investments in LIHTC Properties located

outside of the year’s service territory, for

the specific purpose of acquiring MLIC’s

limited partnership interest in the Fund.

The expected purchase price of

approximately $10.7 million, when

combined with HPI’S current

investment level in LIHTC Properties,

will be within the Investment

Limitation.

For the Commission, by the Division of

Investment Management, pursuant to

delegated authority.

Margaret H. McFarland,

Deputy Secretary.
