Attachment--Order Extending the Effectiveness of the Approval of the 
Transfer of License and Conforming Amendment

United States of America

Nuclear Regulatory Commission

[NRC-2019-0110]

In the Matter of LaCrosseSolutions, LLC; La Crosse Boiling Water 
Reactor
EA-19-077; Docket Nos. 50-409 and 72-046; License No. DPR-45

Order Extending the Effectiveness of the Approval of the Transfer of 
License and Conforming Amendment

I

    LaCrosseSolutions, LLC is the holder of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission (NRC, the Commission) Possession Only License No. DPR-45, 
with respect to the possession, maintenance, and decommissioning of the 
La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor (LACBWR). Operation of the LACBWR is no 
longer authorized under this license. The LACBWR facility is located in 
Vernon County, Wisconsin.

II

    By Order dated September 24, 2019 (Transfer Order), the Commission 
consented to the transfer of the LACBWR license to Dairyland Power 
Cooperative and approved a conforming license amendment in accordance 
with Section 50.80, ``Transfer of licenses,'' and Section 50.90, 
``Application for amendment of license, construction permit, or early 
site permit,'' of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR). 
By its terms, the Transfer Order becomes null and void if the license 
transfer is not completed within one year unless, upon application, and 
for good cause shown, the Commission extends the Transfer Order's 
September 24, 2020, expiration date. By letter dated June 24, 2020, 
LaCrosseSolutions, LLC submitted a request to extend the effectiveness 
of the Transfer Order by six months. By Order dated September 1, 2020 
(First Extension Order), the Commission extended the Transfer Order's 
expiration date to March 24, 2021. Subsequently, by letter dated 
February 2, 2021, LaCrosseSolutions, LLC submitted a request to extend 
the effectiveness of the Transfer Order by an additional six months. By 
Order dated March 9, 2021 (Second Extension Order), the Commission 
extended the Transfer Order's expiration date to September 24, 2021.

III

    By letter dated August 17, 2021, LaCrosseSolutions, LLC submitted a 
request to extend the effectiveness of the Transfer Order by an 
additional twelve months, until September 24, 2022. As stated in the 
letter, the LACBWR Final Status Survey Final Reports (FSSRs), their 
associated Release Records, and responses to NRC staff requests for 
additional information (RAIs) are currently under review by the NRC 
staff. The letter noted that, based on the current status of the NRC 
review, it is anticipated that additional time will be needed to 
address questions or potential issues identified by the NRC staff 
during its review of the RAI responses and revised LACBWR FSSRs. The 
letter also stated that the extension would allow adequate time for 
response development by LaCrosseSolutions, LLC regarding possible 
additional questions or potential issues, and for the NRC staff to 
assess the responses provided by LaCrosseSolutions, LLC and to make a 
final determination regarding the release of the majority of the LACBWR 
site for unrestricted use.
    Based on the above, the NRC has determined that LaCrosseSolutions, 
LLC has shown good cause for extending the effectiveness of the 
Transfer Order by an additional twelve months, as requested.

IV

    Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 161b, 161i, and 184 of the Atomic 
Energy Act of 1954, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Sections 2201(b), 2201(i), 
and 2234; and 10 CFR 50.80, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the expiration 
date of the Transfer Order, as extended by the Second Extension Order, 
is further extended until September 24, 2022. If the subject license 
transfer from LaCrosseSolutions, LLC to Dairyland Power Cooperative is 
not completed by September 24, 2022, the Transfer Order shall become 
null and void; provided, however, that upon written application and for 
good cause shown, such date may be extended by order.
    This Order is effective upon issuance.
    For further details with respect to this Order, see the extension 
request dated August 17, 2021, which is available electronically 
through the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System 
(ADAMS) in the NRC Library at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html 
under Accession No. ML21230A330. Persons who encounter problems with 
ADAMS should contact the NRC's Public Document Room reference staff by 
telephone at 1-800-397-4209 or 301-415-4737 or by email to 
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#cebeaabce0bcabbda1bbbcadab8ea0bcade0a9a1b8"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="7f0f1b0d510d1a0c100a0d1c1a3f110d1c51181009">[email protected]</span></a>.

    Dated this 30th day of August 2021.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission

/RA/

John W. Lubinski,

Director, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards.
