NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50–320]

GPU Nuclear, Inc., Metropolitan

Edison, Jersey Central Power & Light,

and Pennsylvannia Electric Company

Three Mile Island, Unit No. 2; Notice of

Consideration of Approval of

Application Regarding Proposed

Merger 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 Possession

Only License No. DPR–73 for the Three

Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit No. 2

(TMI–2), held by GPU Nuclear, Inc.

(GPUN), Metropolitan Edison (Met Ed),

Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L),

and Pennsylvannia Electric Company

(Penelec). The indirect transfer would

be to FirstEnergy Corp. (FE),

headquartered in Akron, Ohio.

According to a September 26, 2000,

application submitted by FE and GPUN,

as supplemented by letters dated

September 27, November 9, and

November 14, 2000, GPU, Inc., the

corporate parent of GPUN, Met Ed,

JCP&L, and Penelec, is planning to be

merged with and into FE. FE will

remain as the surviving corporation in

this transaction. Upon consummating

the merger, FE will become a registered

holding company under the Public

Utility Holding Company Act of 1935,

and GPUN, Met Ed, JCP&L, and Penelec,

currently subsidiaries of GPU, Inc., will

become subsidiaries of FE.

No physical changes to the TMI–2

facility or operational changes are being

proposed in the application. GPUN, the

TMI–2 licensee authorized to maintain

the facility, and Met Ed, JCP&L, and

Penelec, the licensed owners of TMI–2,

will continue to be so following the

merger. No direct transfer of the license

will result from the planned merger.

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 holders of

the license, and that the transfer is

otherwise consistent with applicable

provisions of law, regulations, and

orders issued by the Commission

pursuant thereto.

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 December 20, 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
