VII

After reviewing the information

submitted in the letters of October 17

and December 13, 1996, and other

information before the Commission, and

in consideration of the foregoing

findings, the NRC staff has determined

that IP is qualified to hold the license

and that the transfer, subject to the

conditions set forth herein, is otherwise

consistent with applicable provisions of

law, regulations, and orders issued by

the Commission. Accordingly, pursuant

to Sections 161b, 161i, 161o, and 184 of

the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as

amended; 42 U.S.C. sections 2201(b),

2201(i), 2201(o), and 2234; and 10 CFR

50.80, the Commission consents to the

proposed transfer of the license

described herein from Soyland to IP,

subject to the following: (1) The

issuance of approved amendments fully

reflecting the transfer approved by this

Order at the time such transfer is

effected; (2) should the transfer not be

completed by December 31, 1997, this

Order shall become null and void,

provided, however, on application and

for good cause shown, such date may be

extended; and (3) IP shall provide the

Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor

Regulation a copy of any application, at

the time it is filed, to transfer (excluding

grants of security interests or liens) from

IP to Illinova Corporation (its parent

company) or to any other affiliated

company, facilities for the production,

transmission, or distribution of electric

energy having a depreciated book value

exceeding ten percent (10%) of IP’s

consolidated net utility plant.

This Order is effective upon issuance.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.21, 51.32, and

51.35, an environmental assessment and

a finding of no significant impact have

been prepared and published in the

Federal Register on February 5, 1997

(62 FR 5495). On the basis of the

environmental assessment, the

Commission has determined that the

issuance of this Order will not have a

significant effect on the quality of the

human environment.

Notice of consideration of issuance of

an order approving the transfer of the

license and an opportunity for a hearing

was published in the Federal Register

on January 29, 1997 (62 FR 4337).

For further details with respect to this

action, see IP’s letters requesting

approval of the transfer of the license

dated October 17 and December 13,

1996, which are available for public

inspection at the Commission’s Public

Document Room, the Gelman Building,

Northeast Nuclear Energy Company

Notice of Withdrawal of Applications

for Amendment to Facility Operating

License

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (the Commission) has

granted the request of Northeast Nuclear

Energy Company, et. al (the licensee) to

withdraw its July 28, 1994, and

November 8, 1995, applications for

proposed amendments to Facility

Operating License No. DPR–21 for the

Millstone Nuclear Power Station, Unit

1, located in New London County,

Connecticut.

The amendment proposed in the July

28, 1994, letter would have modified the

facility technical specifications

pertaining to seismic capability of the

feedwater coolant injection system. The

amendment proposed in the November

8, 1995, letter would have modified the

facility technical specifications for the

jet pumps in order to make the technical

specifications consistent with the

limiting conditions for operation and

surveillance requirements in the NRC’s

Standard Technical Specifications for

General Electric Plants (NUREG–1433).

The Commission had previously

issued a Notice of Consideration of

Issuance of Amendment published in

the Federal Register on March 15, 1995

(60 FR 14023) for the July 28, 1994,

request, and March 27, 1996 (61 FR

13528) for the November 8, 1995,

request. However, by letter dated

February 27, 1997, the licensee

withdrew the proposed changes.

For further details with respect to this

action, see the applications for

amendments dated July 28, 1994, and

November 8, 1995, and the licensee’s

letter dated February 27, 1997, which

withdrew the applications for license

amendments. The above documents are

available for public inspection at the

Commission’s Public Document Room,

the Gelman Building, 2120 L Street,
