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

for filings regarding license transfer

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.

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

Nebraska Public Power District; Notice

of Withdrawal of Application for

Amendment to Facility Operating

License

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (the Commission) has

granted the request of Nebraska Public

Power District (the licensee) to

withdraw its June 8, 1999, application

for the proposed amendment to Facility

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 213 / Thursday, November 2, 2000 / Notices 65887

Operating License No. DPR–46 for the

Cooper Nuclear Station, located in

The proposed amendment would

have revised the Technical

Specifications to correct the method by

which the Standby Gas Treatment

System heaters are tested.

The Commission had previously

issued a Notice of Consideration of

Issuance of Amendment published in

the Federal Register on July 14, 1999

(64 FR 38030). However, by letter dated

September 29, 2000, the licensee

withdrew the proposed change.

For further details with respect to this

action, see the application for

amendment dated June 8, 1999, and the

licensee’s letter dated September 29,

2000, which withdrew the application

for license amendment. Documents may

Tennessee Valley Authority; Notice of

Withdrawal of Application for

Amendments to Facility Operating

Licenses

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (the Commission) has

granted the request of Tennessee Valley

Authority (TVA) to withdraw its June 7,

1999, application for proposed

amendments to Facility Operating

Licenses No. DPR–79 for the Sequoyah

Nuclear Plant (SQN), Unit 2, located in

Hamilton County, Tennessee. Notice of

Consideration of Issuance of of this

amendment was published in the

Federal Register on July 28, 1999, (64

FR 40907).

The purpose of the licensee’s

amendment request was to revise the

Technical Specifications (TS) to

increase the maximum allowed specific

activity of the primary (reactor) coolant

from 0.35 microcuries/gram dose

equivalent Iodine-131 (I–131) to 1.0

microcuries/gram dose equivalent I–131

for the Unit 2 Cycle 10 core. The change

for Unit 2 back to 1.0 microcuries/gram

(the previous TS limit) was to have been

a provisional allowance to provide

operational flexibility with respect to

the reactor coolant specific activity

because an unexpected increase in the

specific activity associated with I–131

occurred during startup following the

previous refueling outage due

presumably to minor fuel clad leakage.

By letter dated October 17, 2000, TVA

withdrew the proposed change on the

basis that reactor coolant dose

equivalent I–131 activity had not closely

approached the current TS limit and

was not expected to before the refueling

outage that commenced on October 22,

2000.

For further details with respect to this

action, see the application for

amendments dated August 30, 1999,

and TVA’s letter dated October 17,

2000, which withdrew the application

for the license amendment.

Tennessee Valley Authority; Notice of

Withdrawal of Application for

Amendments to Facility Operating

Licenses

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (the Commission) has

granted the request of Tennessee Valley

Authority (TVA) to withdraw its August

30, 1999, application for proposed

amendments to Facility Operating

Licenses Nos. DPR–77 and DPR–79 for

the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and

2, located in Hamilton County,

Tennessee. Notice of Consideration of

Issuance of this amendment was

published in the Federal Register on

October 6, 1999 (64 FR 54382).

The proposed amendments would

have revised the facility technical

specifications (TS) by adding a Section

3.0.7 to address the use of interim

provisions upon the discovery of an

unintended TS action.

Subsequently, by letter dated October

17, 2000, TVA withdrew the proposed

amendment application on the basis

that approval of the amendment was

unlikely because of legal concerns on

the part of the Commission.

For further details with respect to this

action, see the application for

amendments dated August 30, 1999,

and the TVA’s letter dated October 17,

2000, which withdrew the application
