NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50–346]

Toledo Edison Company; Centerior

Service Company; and the Cleveland

Electric Illuminating Company; Notice

of Consideration of Approval of

Application Regarding Proposed

Corporate Restructuring

Notice is hereby given that the United

States Nuclear Regulatory Commission

(the Commission) is considering

approval by issuance of an order under

10 CFR 50.80 of an application

concerning the proposed merger

between the Centerior Energy

Corporation (the parent corporation for

the Toledo Edison Company, The

Cleveland Electric Illuminating

Company (CEI), and the Centerior

Service Company (CSC), licensees for

Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit

No. 1) and the Ohio Edison Company.

Davis-Besse is a nuclear-powered

generating facility that is owned and

operated in accordance with Facility

Operating License No. NPF–3.

By letter dated December 13, 1996,

the Toledo Edison Company, CEI, and

CSC informed the Commission of, and

are seeking consent regarding, a

proposed merger of the Centerior Energy

Corporation and the Ohio Edison

Company resulting in the formation of

a new single-holding company,

FirstEnergy Corporation. Under the

proposed merger, the Toledo Edison

Company, CEI, CSC, and the Ohio

Edison Company will become whollyowned subsidiaries of FirstEnergy

Corporation. The current licensees will

continue to hold the license, and no

direct transfer of the license will result

from the merger.

According to the application, the

merger will have no adverse effect on

either the technical management or

operation of the Davis-Besse plant. The

technical management and nuclear

organization of the plant operators, the

Toledo Edison Company and CSC, will

continue to remain responsible for plant

operation and maintenance after the

merger.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.80, the

Commission may approve the transfer of

control of a license after notice to

interested persons. Such approval is

contingent upon the Commission’s

determination that the holder of the

license following the transfer is

qualified to hold the license and that the

transfer is otherwise consistent with

applicable provisions of law,

regulations, and orders of the

Commission.
