Licensee; Notice of Issuance of

Amendment to Facility Operating

License

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (Commission) has issued

Amendment No. 203 to Facility

Operating License No. DPR–71 and No.

233 to Facility Operating License No.

[Docket No. 50–423]

In the Matter of Central Maine Power

Company, (Millstone Nuclear Power

Station, Unit 3) Order Approving

Application Regarding the

Restructuring of Central Maine Power

Company by Establishment of a

Holding Company

I

Central Maine Power Company

(CMP), a 2.5 percent owner of the

Millstone Nuclear Power Station, Unit 3

(Millstone Unit 3), one of the 13 other

owners of Millstone Unit 3, is a coholder of Facility Operating License No.

NPF–49 issued by the U.S. Nuclear

Regulatory Commission (NRC) pursuant

to Part 50 of Title 10 of the Code of

Federal Regulations (10 CFR Part 50) on

January 31, 1986. Under this license,

Northeast Nuclear Energy Company

(NNECO), has the exclusive authority to

operate Millstone Unit 3. Millstone Unit

3 is located in New London County,

Connecticut.

II

By an application dated March 4,

1998, CMP, by and through its counsel,

Morgan, Lewis, and Bockius, requested

consent pursuant to 10 CFR 50.80

regarding the proposed restructuring of

CMP. Under the restructuring, CMP

would become a wholly owned

subsidiary of a newly created holding

company but would continue to hold its

2.5 percent ownership interest in

Millstone Unit 3. No direct transfer of

the license would occur. NNECO, which

is not involved in the proposed

transaction, would continue to be the

licensed operator for Millstone Unit 3.

The holders of CMP common stock

would automatically become holders of

common stock of the new holding

company on a share-for-share basis,

according to the application.

Notice of this application for consent

was published in the Federal Register

on April 24, 1998 (63 FR 20434); and an

Environmental Assessment and Finding

of No Significant Impact was published

in the Federal Register on May 4, 1998

(63 FR 24576).

Under 10 CFR 50.80, no license shall

be transferred, directly or indirectly,

through transfer of control of the license

unless the Commission shall give its

consent in writing. Upon review of the

information submitted in the

application dated March 4, 1998, the

NRC staff has determined that the

proposed restructuring of CMP by

creation of a holding company will not
32252 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 113 / Friday, June 12, 1998 / Notices

affect the qualifications of CMP as a

holder of Facility Operating License No.

NPF–49, and that the transfer of control

of the license, to the extent effected by

the proposed restructuring, is otherwise

consistent with applicable provisions of

law, regulations, and orders issued by

the Commission, subject to the

conditions set forth herein. These

findings are supported by a Safety

Evaluation dated June 2, 1998.

III

Accordingly, pursuant to Sections

161b, 161i, 161o, and 184 of the Atomic

Energy Act of 1954, as amended; 42

U.S.C. Subsections 2201(b), 2201(i),

2201(o), and 2234; and 10 CFR 50.80, it

is hereby ordered that the Commission

approves the application regarding the

proposed restructuring of CMP subject

to the following: (1) CMP 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 CMP to its

proposed parent or to any other

affiliated company, facilities for the

production, transmission, or

distribution of electric energy having a

depreciated book value exceeding 10

percent (10%) of CMP’s consolidated

net utility plant, as recorded on CMP’s

books of account; and (2) should the

restructuring of CMP not be completed

by December 31, 1998, this Order shall

become null and void, provided,

however, on application and for good

cause shown, such date may be

extended.

This Order is effective upon issuance.

IV

By July 13, 1998, any person

adversely affected by this Order may file

a request for a hearing with respect to

issuance of the Order. Any person

requesting a hearing shall set forth with

particularity how that interest is

adversely affected by this Order and

shall address the criteria set forth in 10

CFR 2.714(d).

If a hearing is to be held, the

Commission will issue an order

designating the time and place of such

hearing.

The issue to be considered at any

such hearing shall be whether this

Order should be sustained.

Any request for a hearing must be

filed with the Secretary of the

Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission, Washington, DC 20555–

0001, Attention: Rulemakings and

Adjudications Staff, or may be delivered

to the Commission’s Public Document

NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50–259, 50–260 and 50–296]

Tennessee Valley Authority; Notice of

Consideration of Issuance of

Amendment to Facility Operating

Licenses and Opportunity for a

Hearing

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC, the Commission) is

considering issuance of an amendment

to Facility Operating License Nos. DPR–

33, DPR–52 and DPR–68 issued to the

Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA or the

licensee) for operation of the Browns

Ferry Nuclear Plant (BFN), Units 1, 2

and 3, located in Limestone County,

Alabama.

Originally, in a letter dated September

6, 1996, the licensee proposed changes

for a full conversion from the current

Technical Specifications (TS) to a set of

TS based on NUREG–1433, Revision 1,

‘‘Standard Technical Specifications for

General Electric Plants, BWR/4,’’ dated

April 1995. NUREG–1433 has been

developed through working groups

composed of both NRC staff members

and the BWR/4 owners and has been

endorsed by the staff as part of an

industry-wide initiative to standardize

and improve TS. In addition to the

above changes related to conversion of

the current TS to be similar to the

Improved Standard Technical

Specifications (ISTS) in NUREG 1433,

the licensee proposed three less

restrictive changes that are not

considered within the scope of the

normal ISTS conversion process. The

licensee’s proposed changes in its

application dated September 6, 1996,

including the three additional changes,

were originally noticed on October 23,

1996 (61 FR 55026).

By letters dated June 6, and December

11, 1996, April 11, May 1, August 14,

October 15, November 5 and 14,

December 3, 4, 15, 22, 23, 29, and 30,

1997, January 23, March 12 and 13,

April 16, 20, and 28, May 7, 14, and 19,

and June 2, 1998, the licensee provided

supplemental information, and

proposed additional changes. Some of

these changes were ‘‘less restrictive and

plant specific changes’’ that were not

included in the original notice (61 FR

55026). They were addressed in 63 FR

29763, June 1, 1998. Certain additional

‘‘less restrictive and plant specific

changes’’ were not noticed in 63 FR

29763, and are noticed here. These

changes involve: surveillance

requirements (SR) relating to

comparison of the core reactivity

difference between actual and expected

critical rod configuration, change to the

calibration frequency for Local Power

Range Monitors, and an alternate SR for

BFN Unit 3, for position verification of

the low pressure core injection cross tie

valves.

Before issuance of the proposed

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.

By July 13, 1998, the licensee may file

a request for a hearing with respect to

issuance of the amendment to the

subject facility operating license and

any person whose interest may be

affected by this proceeding and who

wishes to participate as a party in the

proceeding must file a written request

for a hearing and a petition for leave to

intervene. Requests for a hearing and a

petition for leave to intervene shall be

filed in accordance with the

Commission’s ‘‘Rules of Practice for

Domestic Licensing Proceedings’’ in 10

CFR Part 2. Interested persons should
