NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50–440]

The Cleveland Electric Illuminating

Company, et al.; Perry Nuclear Power

Plant, Unit No. 1, Environmental

Assessment and Finding of No

Significant Impact

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (the Commission) is

considering approval of the transfer of

Facility Operating License No. NPF–58,

issued to The Cleveland Electric

Illuminating Company, et al., the

licensees, for operation of the Perry

Nuclear Power Plant, Unit No. 1, located

in Lake County, Ohio.

Environmental Assessment

Identification of the Proposed Action

The proposed action would consent to

the transfer of the license with respect

to Ohio Edison Company’s (Ohio

Edison) 12.58-percent ownership

interest in the ‘‘common facilities’’ of

the Perry plant to its wholly owned

subsidiary, OES Nuclear, Inc. (OES).

The proposed action is in accordance

with Ohio Edison’s request for approval

dated December 29, 1995.

The Need for the Proposed Action

The proposed action is required to

obtain the necessary consent to the

transfer of the license discussed above.

The underlying transaction is needed to

allow Ohio Edison to reduce its current

operating costs.

Environmental Impacts of the Proposed

Action

The Commission has reviewed the

proposed action and concludes that

there will be no changes to the facility

or its operation as a result of the

proposed action. Accordingly, the NRC

staff concludes that there are no

significant radiological environmental

impacts associated with the proposed

action.

With regard to potential

nonradiological impacts, the proposed

action does not affect nonradiological

plant effluents and has no other

environmental impact. Accordingly, the

NRC staff concludes that there are no

significant nonradiological

environmental impacts associated with

the proposed action.

Alternatives to the Proposed Action

As an alternative to the proposed

action, the staff considered denial of the

proposed action. Denial of the

application would result in no change

in current environmental impacts. The

environmental impacts of the proposed

action and the alternative action are

similar.

Alternative Use of Resources

This action does not involve the use

of any resources not previously

considered in the Final Environmental

Statement for the Perry Nuclear Power

Plant, Units 1 and 2, documented in

NUREG–0884.

Agencies and Persons Consulted

In accordance with its stated policy,

on June 5, 1996, the staff consulted with

the Ohio State official, C. O’Clare of the

Ohio Emergency Management Agency,

regarding the environmental impact of

the proposed action. The State official

had no comments.

Finding of No Significant Impact

Based upon the environmental

assessment, the Commission concludes

that the proposed action will not have

a significant effect on the quality of the

human environment. Accordingly, the

Commission has determined not to

prepare an environmental impact

statement for the proposed action.

For further details with respect to the

proposed action, see the Ohio Edison

submittal under cover of letter from

Shaw, Pittman, Potts and Trowbridge,

dated December 29, 1995, which is

available for public inspection at the

Commission’s Public Document Room,

The Gelman Building, 2120 L Street,

NW., Washington, DC, and at the local

public document room located at the

Perry Public Library, 3753 Main Street,

Perry, Ohio 44081.

of June 1996.
