NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. STN 50–528, STN 50–529, and

STN 50–530]

Arizona Public Service Company, et al.

Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station,

Units 1, 2, and 3; Notice of

Consideration of Approval of

Application Regarding Proposed

Corporate Restructuring of El Paso

Electric Company and Conforming

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 Facility Operating

Licenses Nos. NPF–41, NPF–51, and

NPF–74 for the Palo Verde Nuclear

Generating Station (Palo Verde), Units 1,

2, and 3, respectively, to the extent held

by El Paso Electric Company (EPE), one

of seven joint owners or lessees of Palo

Verde. The indirect transfers would

occur in connection with a proposed

corporate restructuring of EPE. The

Commission is also considering

approving conforming license

amendments to reflect the proposed

renaming of EPE, which is part of the

restructuring plan for EPE. The facility

is located in Maricopa County, Arizona.

According to a July 6, 2000,

application filed by EPE, which was

supplemented by a letter dated July 7,

2000, submitted by counsel for EPE, and

a conforming amendment application

dated October 3, 2000, submitted by

Arizona Public Service Company, the

licensed operator of Palo Verde, the

proposed indirect transfers of the Palo

Verde licenses as held by EPE would be

to a newly created holding company, El

Paso Electric Incorporated. El Paso

Electric Incorporated will be created to

implement the public utility

restructuring requirements of the New

Mexico Electric Utility Industry

Restructuring Act of 1999, SB 428,

NMSA 1978, §§ 62–3A–1 through 23

(1999) (the ‘‘Restructuring Act’’). The

proposed restructuring encompasses the

formation of El Paso Electric

Incorporated, EPE becoming a direct

subsidiary of El Paso Electric

Incorporated, and a change in EPE’s

name to MiraSol Generating Company.

Also, EPE will transfer its transmission

and distribution assets to a new

transmission and distribution company.

Arizona Public Service Company

would remain as the managing agent for

the joint owners or lessees of the facility

and would continue to have exclusive

responsibility for the management,

operation, and maintenance of Palo

65886 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 213 / Thursday, November 2, 2000 / Notices

Verde. The application does not propose

a change in the rights, obligations, or

interests of the other licensees of Palo

Verde. In addition, no physical changes

to Palo Verde or operational changes are

being proposed.

By letter dated October 3, 2000,

Arizona Public Service Company

submitted the associated conforming

amendments request. The proposed

amendments would reflect the change

in the name of El Paso Electric Company

to MiraSol Generating Company in the

licenses.

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.

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.

By November 22, 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

upon counsel for EPE, David B. Raskin,

Esq., Steptoe & Johnson LLP, 1330

Connecticut Avenue, NW, Washington,

DC 20036; the General Counsel, U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission,

Washington, DC 20555 (e-mail address

cases only: OGCLT@NRC.gov); and the

Secretary of the Commission, 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

December 1, 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 20555–0001, Attention: Rulemakings

and Adjudications Staff, and should cite

the publication date and page number of

this Federal Register notice.

For further details with respect to this

action, see the license transfer

application filed by EPE dated July 6,

2000, the supplemental letter dated July

7, 2000, from counsel for EPE, and the

application for the proposed license

amendments filed by the Arizona Public
