NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50–305]

Wisconsin Public Service Corporation,

Wisconsin Power and Light Company,

Madison Gas and Electric Company,

Kewaunee Nuclear Power Plant; Notice

of Consideration of Approval of

Transfer of Operating Authority Under

Facility Operating License and

Conforming Amendment, 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

transfer of operating authority under

Facility Operating License No. DPR–43

for the Kewaunee Nuclear Power Plant,

currently held by Wisconsin Public

Service Corporation (WPSC), Wisconsin

Power and Light Company (WP&L), and

Madison Gas and Electric Company

(MGE), as owners and licensed

operators of Kewaunee. The transfer

would be to a new operating company

called Nuclear Management Company,

LLC (NMC). The Commission is also

considering amending the license for

administrative purposes to reflect the

proposed transfer.

By application dated November 24,

1999, as supplemented December 7,

1999, seeking approval of the transfer,

the Commission was informed that

WPSC, on behalf of itself and WP&L and

MGE, has entered into a Nuclear Power

Plant Operating Services Agreement

with NMC. Under this Agreement, NMC

would assume exclusive responsibility

for the operation and maintenance of

Kewaunee. Ownership of Kewaunee by

the current co-owners, WPSC, WP&L,

and MGE, will not be affected by the

proposed transfer of operating authority,

according to the application. Likewise,

the current owners’ entitlement to

capacity and energy from Kewaunee

will not be affected by the transfer of

operating authority. No physical

changes to the facility or operational

changes are being proposed in the

application.

The proposed amendment would

reflect the transfer of authority under

the license to operate Kewaunee from

the current licensees to NMC.

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 transfer of a license,

if the Commission determines that the

proposed transferee is qualified 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 amendment, 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.

By February 24, 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

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 24 / Friday, February 4, 2000 / Notices 5707

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

upon David J. Molzahn, licensing

representative for WPSC, at Wisconsin

Public Service Corporation, 700 North

Adams Street, P.O. Box 19001, Green

and the Secretary of the Commission,

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,

Washington, DC 20555–0001, Attention:

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
