Collection of such items, in addition to 

those known from the east side of the 

Antarctic Peninsula, would be major 

contributions to the Antarctic record of 

vertebrate evolution. Rock samples 

would also be collected for stable 

isotopes of oxygen, carbon, and 

hydrogen to shed light on late Mesozoic 

climatic conditions in the area of the 

South Shetlands and to improve 

correlations with other areas. 

Location 

Byers Peninsula (ASPA #126), 

Livingston Island. 

Dates 

November 24, 2007 to December 31, 

2007.

Anthony Powell, 32742 Alipaz #94, 

San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675. 

Activity for Which Permit Is Requested 

Enter an Antarctic Specially Protected 

Area (ASPA). The applicant proposes to 

enter Cape Evans (ASPA #155) for the 

purpose of photography. The applicant 

is a participant in the U.S. Antarctic 

Program’s Artists and Writers Program 

who will film an overall ‘‘Year on Ice’’

time-lapse photography project, which 

will document the Antarctic 

environment, landscapes, living 

conditions, and researchers at work 

through an Antarctic year. Photography 

of the historic hut at Cape Evans would 

be part of this project. Depending on the 

weather patterns at the time, it may also 

give an indication of erosion patterns 

affecting the site, which could be of 

great use to conservators. 

Location 

Historic Hut at Cape Evans (ASPA 

#155). 

Dates 

November 1, 2007 to December 10,

Arthur L. DeVries, Department of 

Animal Biology, 524 Burrill Hall, 

University of Illinois, Urbana, IL 61801. 

Activity for Which Permit Is Requested 

Introduce non-indigenous species into 

Antarctica. The applicant proposes to 

use 15 New Zealand black cod 

(Notothenia angustata) in experiments 

to determine whether antifreeze 

glycoproteins are absorbed from the 

intestinal tract into the blood stream. 

(These fish are related to the 

Trematomus fishes in Antarctica but do 

not produce antifreeze glycoproteins 

that would enable them to survive in 

Antarctic waters.) The Black cod will be 

fed nototheniid fish muscle 

supplemented with antifreeze 

glycoproteins. Periodic blood samples 

will be taken to ascertain whether 

antifreeze glycoproteins are being 

transported from the intestinal fluid into 

the bloodstream. Upon completion of 

the experiments the fish will be 

sacrificed, their tissues and blood 

collected, and they will be preserved in 

formalin and sent to the fish collection 

at the University of Illinois. 

Location 

McMurdo Station seawater aquarium.

Rachael Morgan-Kiss, Delaware 

Biotechnology Institute, 15 Innovation 

Way, Newark, DE 19711. 

Activity for Which Permit Is Requested 

Introduce non-indigenous species into 

Antarctica. The applicant proposes to 

bring 10g cell pellets of green algae 

(Chlamydomonas raudensis), originally 

collected from Antarctica, for use in 

experiments to link their understanding 

of physiological responses in this 

organism in a laboratory setting with 

photosynthetic adaptation during the 

transition between summer and winter 

in its natural environment. The algal 

pellets will be used to grow algae 

cultures which will be transferred to 

dialysis tubing at the Lake Bonney 

laboratory. The dialysis chambers will 

be suspended in the Lake Bonney water 

column. Once the samples are collected 

they will be extracted at the Bonney 

Lake Lab or at Crary Lab at McMurdo 

Station, resulting in the death of all 

cells. The cells will be processed in a 

variety of ways for different analyses 

back in the U.S. Any remaining viable 

cultures will be autoclaved to ensure 

100% mortality of unused cultures. 

Location 

Lake Bonney field camp, Taylor 

Valley, and Crary Laboratory at 

McMurdo Station. 

Dates 

February 25, 2008 to April 10, 2008.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket Nos. 50–445 and 50–446] 

TXU Generation Company LP 

Comanche Peak Steam Electric 

Station, Units 1 and 2; Notice of 

Consideration of Approval of 

Application Regarding Proposed 

Indirect Transfer of Control of Facility 

Operating Licenses and Conforming 

License Amendments, 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 the Facility 

Operating Licenses numbered NPF–87 

and NPF–89, for the Comanche Peak 

Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2 

(CPSES) currently held by TXU 

Generation Company LP, as owner and 

licensed operator of CPSES. The 

Commission is also considering 

amending the licenses for 

administrative purposes to reflect a 

proposed name change. 

According to an application for 

approval filed by TXU Generation 

Company LP, acting on behalf of itself 

and Texas Energy Future Holdings 

Limited Partnership (Texas Energy LP), 

the applicants are requesting consent to 

indirect transfer of control of TXU 

Generation Company LP’s operating 

licences for CPSES, in connection with 

the acquisition of TXU Corporation by 

Texas Energy LP. TXU Corporation is 

the indirect owner of TXU Generation 

Company LP. 

No physical changes to the CPSES 

facility or operational changes are being 

proposed in the application. 

In connection with the indirect 

change of control, and the plans of 

Texas Energy LP to clarify the 

distinctions between TXU Corporation’s 

state-regulated transmission and 

distribution business and its other 

businesses, TXU Generation Company 

LP will be converted to a limited 

liability company and renamed 

Luminant Generation Company LLC. 

Therefore, TXU Generation Company LP 

has requested proposed conforming 

amendments to Facility Operating 

License Nos. NPF–87 and NPF–89 that 

would replace references to TXU 

Generation Company LP in the license 

with references to Luminant Generation 

Company LLC. 

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 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
32686 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 113 / Wednesday, June 13, 2007 / Notices 

Commission will approve an 

application for the indirect transfer of a 

license, if the Commission determines 

that the proposed acquisition will not 

affect the qualifications of the licensee 

to hold the license, and that the transfer 

is otherwise consistent with applicable 

provisions of law, regulations, and 

orders issued by the Commission 

pursuant thereto. 

Before issuance of the proposed 

conforming license amendments, the 

Commission will have made findings 

required by the Atomic Energy Act of 

1954, as amended (the Act), and the 

Commission’s regulations. 

As provided in 10 CFR 2.1315, unless 

otherwise determined by the 

Commission with regard to a specific 

application, the Commission has 

determined that any amendment to the 

license of a utilization facility which 

does no more than conform the license 

to reflect the transfer action involves no 

significant hazards consideration. No 

contrary determination has been made 

with respect to this specific license 

amendment application. In light of the 

generic determination reflected in 10 

CFR 2.1315, no public comments with 

respect to significant hazards 

considerations are being solicited, 

notwithstanding the general comment 

procedures contained in 10 CFR 50.91. 

The filing of requests for hearing and 

petitions for leave to intervene, and 

written comments with regard to the 

license transfer application, are 

discussed below. 

Within 20 days from the date of 

publication of this notice, any person 

whose interest may be affected by the 

Commission’s action on the application 

may request a hearing and, if not the 

applicant, 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 C ‘‘Rules of General 

Applicability: Hearing Requests, 

Petitions to Intervene, Availability of 

Documents, Selection of Specific 

Hearing Procedures, Presiding Officer 

Powers, and General Hearing 

Management for NRC Adjudicatory 

Hearings,’’ of 10 CFR Part 2. In 

particular, such requests and petitions 

must comply with the requirements set 

forth in 10 CFR 2.309. Untimely 

requests and petitions may be denied, as 

provided in 10 CFR 2.309(c)(1), 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 

2.309(c)(1)(i)–(viii).
