BILLING CODE 6820–MA–M

NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. STN 50–528, STN 50–529, and

STN 50–530]

In the Matter of Public Service

Company of New Mexico (Palo Verde

Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1, 2,

and 3); Superseding Order Approving

Modified Application Regarding

Proposed Corporate Restructuring

I

Public Service Company of New

Mexico (PNM) holds minority

ownership interests (both owned and

leased) in Palo Verde Nuclear

Generating Station (Palo Verde) Units 1,

2, and 3, and in connection therewith is

a holder of Facility Operating Licenses

Nos. NPF–41, NPF–51, and NPF–74 for

Palo Verde. The facility is located in

Maricopa County, Arizona. Other colicensees for Palo Verde are Arizona

Public Service Company (APS) (owner

or lessee of a 29.1 percent share of each

of the three units), Salt River Project

Agricultural Improvement and Power

District (owner of a 17.49 percent share),

El Paso Electric Company (owner of a

15.8 percent share), Southern California

Edison Company (owner of a 15.8

percent share), Southern California

Public Power Authority (owner of a 5.91

percent share), and Los Angeles

Department of Water and Power (owner

of a 5.70 percent share). APS is the

licensed operator of the Palo Verde

units. The remaining licensees hold

possession-only licenses.

II

Pursuant to section 184 of the Atomic

Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and 10

CFR 50.80, PNM filed an application

dated March 3, 2000, requesting

approval of the indirect transfer of the

Palo Verde licenses, to the extent held

by PNM, to a new holding company to

be established, then proposed to be

named Manzano Corporation

(Manzano). Supplemental information

on this application was forwarded to the

NRC by PNM’s outside counsel, Shaw

Pittman, in letters dated August 14,

August 17, and September 7, 2000. The

new holding company was to be

established to implement the public

utility restructuring requirements of the

New Mexico Electric Utility Industry

Restructuring Act of 1999. The proposed

restructuring of PNM would have

encompassed the formation of Manzano

and Manzano becoming the holding

company for PNM, the transfer by PNM

of its electric and gas transmission and

distribution businesses to an affiliated

company to be named ‘‘Public Service

Company of New Mexico’’ (with PNM

and such affiliated company being

under common control by Manzano),

and a change in PNM’s name to

Manzano Energy Corporation (Manzano

Energy). By application dated April 26,

2000, APS requested approval, pursuant

to 10 CFR 50.90, of proposed

conforming amendments to reflect in

the Palo Verde licenses the name change

of PNM to Manzano Energy Corporation

that would have occurred in connection

with the planned restructuring. APS

would have retained its existing

ownership interest in, and would have

remained the licensed operator of Palo

Verde after the above restructuring of

PNM, and otherwise would not have

been involved in the restructuring.

Similarly, none of the other co-licensees

would have been involved in the

restructuring of PNM. No physical

changes to the facility or operational

changes were being proposed in the

applications filed by PNM and APS.

Notice of the applications and an

opportunity for hearing was published

in the Federal Register on May 26, 2000

(65 FR 34370). No written comments or

hearing requests were received.

III

By an Order dated September 29,

2000, the application regarding the

proposed restructuring of PNM was

approved, subject to certain conditions

contained in that Order. To date, the

proposed restructuring has not

occurred. The application for

conforming license amendments was

also approved by the Order, but the

amendments were to be issued and

made effective only at the time the

proposed restructuring action was

completed, including in particular the

name change of PNM.

Subsequently, by letters dated March

20 and May 15, 2001, from counsel for

PNM, the Commission was informed

that in March of 2001 the State of New

Mexico enacted into law Senate Bill

266, ‘‘An Act Relating to Electric

Utilities; Delaying Customer Choice

Provisions and Implementation of the

Electric Utility Industry Restructuring

Act of 1999’’ (SB 266). With respect to

PNM’s proposed restructuring that was

the subject of the September 29, 2000,

Order, SB 266 does not affect PNM’s

plans to establish a new holding

company for PNM. However, it delays

until January 1, 2007, the start of

customer choice in the retail electricity

market, and, therefore, delays PNM’s

plans to separate its transmission and

distribution assets into a new affiliate.

Any such plans for separation will now

be required to be refiled with the New

Mexico Public Regulation Commission

(NMPRC) by 2005, and approved by

NMPRC by 2006.

According to the March 20 and May

15, 2001, submittals, in light of SB 266,

there have been several changes to the

information provided in the March 3,

2000, application and supplements

thereto. In summary, in contrast to

earlier information provided in the

March 3, 2000, application and

supplements thereto, PNM was an

‘‘electric utility,’’ under the definition

set forth in 10 CFR 50.2, in the year

2000, and expects to continue to be such

until at least 2007, notwithstanding the

establishment of a new holding

company; the name of the company,

which has already been formed, to

eventually become the holding company

for PNM is ‘‘PNM Resources, Inc.’’ and

it will keep that name following its

establishment as PNM’s holding

company. PNM will not change its name

at this time.
