NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50–482]

Kansas City Power & Light Company

(Wolf Creek Generating Station); Order

Approving Application Regarding

Proposed Corporate Restructuring

I

Kansas City Power & Light Company

(KCPL) holds a 47 percent ownership

interest in Wolf Creek Generating

Station (WCGS) and in connection

therewith is a holder of Facility

Operating License No. NPF–42. The

facility is located in Coffey County,

Kansas. The other co-owner licensees

for WCGS are Kansas Gas & Electric

Company (KGE) (with a 47 percent

share of WCGS), and Kansas Electric

Power Cooperative, Inc. (KEPCo) (with a

6 percent share). Wolf Creek Nuclear

Operating Corporation (WCNOC) is the

licensed operator of WCGS, and KCPL

also owns a 47 percent interest in

WCNOC, with KGE and KEPCo owning

47 percent and 6 percent interests in

WCNOC, respectively. KCPL, as well as

KGE and KEPCo, hold possession-only

licenses.

II

Pursuant to section 184 of the Atomic

Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and 10

CFR 50.80, KCPL filed an application

dated February 20, 2001, which was

supplemented by submittals dated

February 27, March 5, March 8, March

28, and May 4, 2001, from counsel for

KCPL, requesting approval of the

indirect transfer of the WCGS license, to

the extent such would result from the

proposed restructuring of KCPL. As

stated in the application, the proposed

restructuring encompasses the

formation by KCPL of a new holding

company as yet unnamed

(‘‘HoldingCo’’). Upon the proposed

restructuring, KCPL will cease to be

publicly-traded and become a whollyowned subsidiary of HoldingCo, but will

retain ownership of its regulated electric

power generation, transmission, and

distribution assets, including its

interests in WCGS and WCNOC. No

direct transfer of the license to

HoldingCo or otherwise is being

proposed. WCNOC would remain as the

managing agent for the joint owner

licensees (KCPL, KGE, and KEPCo) of

the facility and would continue to have

exclusive responsibility for the

management, operation, and

maintenance of WCGS as the non-owner

operator licensee. The application does

not propose a change in the rights,

obligations, or interests of the licensees

of WCGS. In addition, no physical

changes to WCGS or operational

changes are being proposed.

KCPL stated that it and HoldingCo

will be able to respond more effectively

to increased competition in the energy

industry and pursue pending

unregulated electric generation ventures

as a result of the new corporate

structure.

Notice of the application and an

opportunity for hearing was published

in the Federal Register on May 2, 2001

(66 FR 22019). No written comments or

hearing requests were received.

Under 10 CFR 50.80, no license shall

be transferred, directly or indirectly,

through transfer of control of the

license, unless the Commission gives its

consent in writing. Upon review of the

information provided by KCPL in its

application, the supplements thereto,

and other information before the

Commission, the NRC staff has

determined that the proposed

restructuring will not affect the

qualifications of KCPL or WCNOC as

holders of the license referenced above

and that the indirect transfer of the

license, to the extent effected by the

proposed restructuring of KCPL, 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 1, 2001.

III

Accordingly, pursuant to sections

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

Energy Act of 1954, as amended, 42

USC §§ 2201(b), 2201(i), 2201(o), and

2234; and 10 CFR 50.80, it is hereby

ordered that the application regarding

the proposed restructuring of KCPL and

indirect license transfer is approved,

subject to the following conditions:

(1) KCPL 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 KCPL 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 KCPL’s consolidated

net utility plant as recorded on KCPL’s

books of account.

(2) Should the proposed restructuring

of KCPL not be completed by June 1,

2002, this Order shall become null and

void, provided, however, upon

application and for good cause shown,

such date may be extended.

This Order is effective upon issuance.

For further details with respect to this

action, see the license transfer

application filed by KCPL dated

February 20, 2001, and the

supplemental submittals dated February

27, March 5, March 8, March 28, and

May 4, 2001, from counsel for KCPL,

and the safety evaluation dated June 1,

2001, which are available for public

inspection at the Commission’s Public

Document Room located at One White

Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike (first

floor), Rockville, Maryland, and

Control No. 3235–0131.

Notice is hereby given that pursuant

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities

and Exchange Commission

(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments

on the collections of information

summarized below. The Commission

plans to submit these existing

collections of information to the Office

of Management and Budget for

extension and approval.

Rule 17a–5(c) under the Securities

Exchange Act of 1934 requires certain

broker-dealers who carry customer

accounts to provide statements of

financial condition to their customers. It

is estimated that approximately 659

broker and dealer respondents with

approximately 97,600,000 customer

accounts incur an average burden of

542,222 hours per year to comply with

this rule.

Rule 17a–5(c) does not contain record

retention requirements. Compliance

with the rule is mandatory. Responses

are not confidential.

Rule 17a–7 under the Securities

Exchange Act of 1034 requires nonresident brokers or dealers registered or

applying for registration pursuant to

Section 15 of the Exchange Act to

maintain—in the United States—

complete and current copies of books

and records required to be maintained

under any rule adopted under the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Alternatively, Rule 17a–7 provides that

the non-resident broker or dealer may

sign a written undertaking to furnish the

requisite books and records to the

Commission upon demand.

There are approximately 72 nonresident brokers and dealers. Based on
