Transfer of License and Approving 

Conforming Amendment 

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 

NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION 

Docket Nos. 50–333 and 72–012; License No. 

DPR–59 

In the Matter of Exelon Generation 

Company, LLC James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear 

Power Plant 

ORDER APPROVING DIRECT TRANSFER 

OF LICENSE AND APPROVING 

CONFORMING AMENDMENT 

I. 

Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon 

Generation) is the owner and operator of the 

James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant 

(FitzPatrick) and the holder of Renewed 

Facility Operating License No. DPR–59 and 

the general license for the FitzPatrick 

Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation 

(ISFSI). FitzPatrick is a General Electric 

boiling-water reactor located in Oswego 

County, New York. 

II. 

By application dated July 24, 2017 

(Agencywide Documents Access and 

Management System (ADAMS) Accession 

No. ML17206A395), Exelon Generation, and 

its wholly owned subsidiary, Exelon 

FitzPatrick, LLC (Exelon FitzPatrick), jointly 

requested, pursuant to Title 10 of the Code 

of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Section 

50.80, ‘‘Transfer of licenses,’’ that the U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) 

consent to the direct transfer of the 

FitzPatrick renewed facility operating license 

and the FitzPatrick ISFSI general license 

from Exelon Generation to Exelon 

FitzPatrick. Future references to FitzPatrick 

include the general license for the FitzPatrick 

ISFSI. In response to the request by Exelon 

Generation and Exelon FitzPatrick for 

consent to the direct transfer of the 

FitzPatrick renewed facility operating license 

and the FitzPatrick ISFSI general license, the 

NRC published a notice entitled, ‘‘James A. 

FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant; 

Consideration of Approval of Transfer of 

License and Conforming Amendment,’’ in the 

Federal Register on August 17, 2017 (82 FR 

39139). The NRC received no comments and 

no hearing requests. 

Under 10 CFR 50.80, no license, or any 

right thereunder, shall be transferred, directly 

or indirectly, through transfer of control of 

the license, unless the NRC gives its consent 

in writing. Upon review of the information in 

the application, and other information before 

the NRC, and relying upon the 

representations and agreements contained in 

the application, the NRC staff has determined 

that Exelon FitzPatrick is qualified to hold 

the FitzPatrick renewed facility operating 

license and the FitzPatrick ISFSI general 

license. Following completion of the license 

transfer, Exelon FitzPatrick would acquire 

ownership of FitzPatrick. Exelon Generation 

would continue to be responsible for the 

operation and maintenance of FitzPatrick. 

The NRC staff has also determined that the 

transfer of these licenses is otherwise 

consistent with the applicable provisions of 

law, regulations, and orders issued by the 

NRC, pursuant thereto, subject to the 

condition set forth below. 

Upon review of the application for a 

conforming license amendment to reflect this 

transfer, the NRC staff has determined that 

the application for the conforming license 

amendment complies with the standards and 

requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 

1954, as amended (the Act), and the 

Commission’s rules and regulations set forth 

in 10 CFR chapter I; the facility will operate 

in conformity with the application, the 

provisions of the Act, and the rules and 

regulations of the Commission; there is 

reasonable assurance that the activities 

authorized by this amendment can be 

conducted without endangering the health 

and safety of the public and that such 

activities will be conducted in compliance 

with the Commission’s regulations; the 

issuance of this amendment will not be 

inimical to the common defense and security 

or to the health and safety of the public; and 

the issuance of this amendment will be in 

accordance with 10 CFR part 51 of the 

Commission’s regulations and all applicable 

requirements will have been satisfied. 

The findings set forth above are supported 

by an NRC safety evaluation dated November 

7, 2017 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML17240A069). 

III. 

Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 161b, 

161i, 161o, and 184 of the Atomic Energy Act 

of 1954, as amended (the Act), 42 U.S.C. 

2201(b), 2201(i), 2201(o), and 2234; and 10 

CFR 50.80, it is hereby ordered that the 

application regarding the proposed direct 

license transfer is approved, subject to the 

following condition: 

Prior to the completion of the license 

transfer, Exelon FitzPatrick, LLC shall 

provide satisfactory documentary evidence to 

the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor 

Regulation that it has obtained the 

appropriate amount of insurance required of 

a licensee under 10 CFR part 140 and 10 CFR 

50.54(w). 

It is further ordered that, consistent with 

10 CFR 2.1315(b), the license be changed, as 

indicated in Enclosure 2 to the cover letter 

forwarding this Order, to conform the license 

to reflect that the subject direct license 

transfer is approved. The amendment shall 

be issued and made effective at the time the 

proposed direct license transfer is completed. 

It is further ordered that, after receipt of all 

required regulatory approvals of the 

proposed direct license transfer, Exelon 

FitzPatrick shall inform the Director of the 

Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation in 

writing of such receipt, and of the date of 

closing of the transfer, no later than 2 

business days prior to the date of the closing 

of the direct license transfer. Should the 

proposed direct license transfer not be 

completed within 1 year of this Order’s date 

of issuance, this Order shall become null and 

void, provided, however, 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 application dated July 24, 

2017, and the NRC’s nonproprietary Safety 

Evaluation dated November 7, 2017 (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML17240A069), which are

II. Introduction 

The NRC is considering the issuance 

of an order under § 50.80 of title 10 of 

the Code of Federal Regulations (10 

CFR), approving the indirect transfer of 

control of WCGS, Renewed Facility 

Operating License No. NPF–42, 

currently held by WCNOC. The WCNOC 

is the licensed operator of WCGS. The 

KCP&L, a subsidiary of Great Plains, and 

KG&E, a subsidiary of Westar, currently 

each hold a 47 percent undivided 

interest in WCGS and 47 percent of the 

stock of WCNOC. The KCP&L and KG&E 

are two of the three non-operating 

owner licensees. The indirect license 

transfer will result from the proposed 

merger transaction involving Great 

Plains and Westar. The current 6 

percent owner of WCGS and WCNOC, 

KEPCo, the third non-operating owner 

licensee, is not a party to this 

transaction and will remain a 6 percent 

owner post-transaction. 

The indirect license transfer will 

result from the proposed merger 

transaction involving Great Plains and 

Westar pursuant to the terms of the 

Amended Merger Agreement dated July 

9, 2017. The WCNOC stated in its letter 

dated September 5, 2017, that under the 

Amended Merger Agreement the 

transaction will occur in the following 

three simultaneous steps: 

In step 1, Great Plains will merge with 

its wholly-owned subsidiary, which was 

created to effectuate the transaction, 

named Monarch Energy Holding, Inc.1

(Holdco), with Holdco continuing as the 

surviving corporation. 

In step 2, Westar will merge with a 

wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco, 

named King Energy, Inc. (Merger Sub), 

which was also created to effectuate the 

transaction, with Westar continuing as 

the surviving corporation. 

In step 3, each share of common stock 

of Great Plains and Westar issued and 

outstanding at that time (subject to 

certain defined exceptions) will be 

converted automatically into the right to 

receive the merger consideration 

consisting of a number of shares of 

common stock of Holdco as determined 

by the applicable exchange ratio 

specified in the Amended Merger 

Agreement. Thus the current 

shareholders of Great Plains and Westar 

will become the shareholders of Holdco 

after the transaction. 

The current and post-closing 

ownership structure of the facility is 

depicted in the simplified 

organizational charts provided in 

Figures 1 and 2 of Attachment 1 to the 

letter dated September 5, 2017. 

No physical changes to the WCGS or 

operational changes are being proposed 

in the application. 

The NRC’s regulations at 10 CFR 

50.80 state that no license, or any right 

thereunder, shall be transferred, directly 

or indirectly, through transfer of control 

of the license, unless the Commission 

gives its consent in writing. The 

Commission will approve an 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
52948 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 219 / Wednesday, November 15, 2017 / Notices 

application for the indirect transfer of a 

license, if the Commission determines 

that the proposed merger will not affect 

the qualifications of the licensee to hold 

the license, and that the transfer is 

otherwise consistent with applicable 

provisions of law, regulations, and 

orders issued by the Commission. 

III. Opportunity To Comment 

Within 30 days from the date of 

publication of this notice, persons may 

submit written comments regarding the 

license transfer application, as provided 

for in 10 CFR 2.1305. The Commission 

will consider and, if appropriate, 

respond to these comments, but such 

comments will not otherwise constitute 

part of the decisional record. Comments 

should be submitted as described in the 

ADDRESSES section of this document. 

IV. Opportunity To Request a Hearing 

and Petition for Leave To Intervene 

Within 20 days after the date of 

publication of this notice, any persons 

(petitioner) whose interest may be 

affected by this action may file a request 

for a hearing and petition for leave to 

intervene (petition) with respect to the 

action. Petitions shall be filed in 

accordance with the Commission’s 

‘‘Agency Rules of Practice and 

Procedure’’ in 10 CFR part 2. Interested 

persons should consult a current copy 

of 10 CFR 2.309. The NRC’s regulations 

are accessible electronically from the 

NRC Library on the NRC’s Web site at 

http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doccollections/cfr/. Alternatively, a copy of 

the regulations is available at the NRC’s 

Public Document Room, located at One 

White Flint North, Room O1–F21, 11555 

Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, 

Maryland 20852. If a petition is filed, 

the Commission or a presiding officer 

will rule on the petition, and, if 

appropriate, a notice of a hearing will be 

issued. 

As required by 10 CFR 2.309(d), the 

petition should specifically explain the 

reasons why intervention should be 

permitted with particular reference to 

the following general requirements for 

standing: (1) The name, address, and 

telephone number of the petitioner; (2) 

the nature of the petitioner’s right under 

the Act to be made a party to the 

proceeding; (3) the nature and extent of 

the petitioner’s property, financial, or 

other interest in the proceeding; and (4) 

the possible effect of any decision or 

order which may be entered in the 

proceeding on the petitioner’s interest. 

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(f), 

the petition must also set forth the 

specific contentions which the 

petitioner seeks to have litigated in the 

proceeding. Each contention must 

consist of a specific statement of the 

issue of law or fact to be raised or 

controverted. In addition, the petitioner 

must provide a brief explanation of the 

bases for the contention and a concise 

statement of the alleged facts or expert 

opinion which support the contention 

and on which the petitioner intends to 

rely in proving the contention at the 

hearing. The petitioner must also 

provide references to those specific 

sources and documents of which the 

petitioner intends to rely to support its 

position on the issue. The petition must 

include sufficient information to show 

that a genuine dispute exists with the 

applicant on a material issue of law or 

fact. Contentions must be limited to 

matters within the scope of the 

proceeding. The contention must be one 

which, if proven, would entitle the 

petitioner to relief. A petitioner who 

fails to satisfy the requirements at 10 

CFR 2.309(f) with respect to at least one 

contention will not be permitted to 

participate as a party. 

Those permitted to intervene become 

parties to the proceeding, subject to any 

limitations in the order granting leave to 

intervene. Parties have the opportunity 

to participate fully in the conduct of the 

hearing with respect to resolution of 

that party’s admitted contentions, 

including the opportunity to present 

evidence, consistent with the NRC’s 

regulations, policies, and procedures. 

Petitions must be filed no later than 

20 days from the date of publication of 

this notice. Petitions and motions for 

leave to file new or amended 

contentions that are filed after the 

deadline will not be entertained absent 

a determination by the presiding officer 

that the filing demonstrates good cause 

by satisfying the three factors in 10 CFR 

2.309(c)(1)(i) through (iii). The petition 

must be filed in accordance with the 

filing instructions in the ‘‘Electronic 

Submissions (E-Filing)’’ section of this 

document. 

A State, local governmental body, 

Federally-recognized Indian Tribe, or 

agency thereof, may submit a petition to 

the Commission to participate as a party 

under 10 CFR 2.309(h)(1). The petition 

should state the nature and extent of the 

petitioner’s interest in the proceeding. 

The petition should be submitted to the 

Commission no later than 20 days from 

the date of publication of this notice. 

The petition must be filed in accordance 

with the filing instructions in the 

‘‘Electronic Submissions (E-Filing)’’ 

section of this document, and should 

meet the requirements for petitions set 

forth in this section, except that under 

10 CFR 2.309(h)(2) a State, local 

governmental body, or Federallyrecognized Indian Tribe, or agency 

thereof does not need to address the 

standing requirements in 10 CFR 

2.309(d) if the facility is located within 

its boundaries. Alternatively, a State, 

local governmental body, Federallyrecognized Indian Tribe, or agency 

thereof may participate as a non-party 

under 10 CFR 2.315(c). 

If a hearing is granted, any person 

who is not a party to the proceeding and 

is not affiliated with or represented by 

a party may, at the discretion of the 

presiding officer, be permitted to make 

a limited appearance pursuant to the 

provisions of 10 CFR 2.315(a). A person 

making a limited appearance may make 

an oral or written statement of his or her 

position on the issues, but may not 

otherwise participate in the proceeding. 

A limited appearance may be made at 

any session of the hearing or at any 

prehearing conference, subject to the 

limits and conditions as may be 

imposed by the presiding officer. Details 

regarding the opportunity to make a 

limited appearance will be provided by 

the presiding officer if such sessions are 

scheduled. 

V. Electronic Submissions (E-Filing) 

All documents filed in NRC 

adjudicatory proceedings, including a 

request for hearing and petition, any 

motion or other document filed in the 

proceeding prior to the submission of a 

request for hearing or petition, and 

documents filed by interested 

governmental entities that request to 

participate under 10 CFR 2.315(c), must 

be filed in accordance with the NRC’s EFiling rule (72 FR 49139; August 28, 

2007, as amended at 77 FR 46562, 

August 3, 2012). The E-Filing process 

requires participants to submit and 

serve all adjudicatory documents over 

the internet, or in some cases to mail 

copies on electronic storage media. 

Detailed guidance on making electronic 

submissions may be found in the 

Guidance for Electronic Submissions to 

the NRC and on the NRC Web site at 

http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html. Participants may not 

submit paper copies of their filings 

unless they seek an exemption in 

accordance with the procedures 

described below. 

To comply with the procedural 

requirements of E-Filing, at least 10 

days prior to the filing deadline, the 

participant should contact the Office of 

the Secretary by email at 

hearing.docket@nrc.gov, or by telephone 

at 301–415–1677, to (1) request a digital 

identification (ID) certificate, which 

allows the participant (or its counsel or 

representative) to digitally sign 

submissions and access the E-Filing 

system for any proceeding in which it 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 219 / Wednesday, November 15, 2017 / Notices 52949 

is participating; and (2) advise the 

Secretary that the participant will be 

submitting a petition or other 

adjudicatory document (even in 

instances in which the participant, or its 

counsel or representative, already holds 

an NRC-issued digital ID certificate). 

Based upon this information, the 

Secretary will establish an electronic 

docket for the hearing in this proceeding 

if the Secretary has not already 

established an electronic docket. 

Information about applying for a 

digital ID certificate is available on the 

NRC’s public Web site at http://

www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/ 

getting-started.html. Once a participant 

has obtained a digital ID certificate and 

a docket has been created, the 

participant can then submit 

adjudicatory documents. Submissions 

must be in Portable Document Format 

(PDF). Additional guidance on PDF 

submissions is available on the NRC’s 

public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/ 

site-help/electronic-sub-ref-mat.html. A 

filing is considered complete at the time 

the documents are submitted through 

the NRC’s E-Filing system. To be timely, 

an electronic filing must be submitted to 

the E-Filing system no later than 11:59 

p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. 

Upon receipt of a transmission, the EFiling system time-stamps the document 

and sends the submitter an email notice 

confirming receipt of the document. The 

E-Filing system also distributes an email 

notice that provides access to the 

document to the NRC’s Office of the 

General Counsel and any others who 

have advised the Office of the Secretary 

that they wish to participate in the 

proceeding, so that the filer need not 

serve the document on those 

participants separately. Therefore, 

applicants and other participants (or 

their counsel or representative) must 

apply for and receive a digital ID 

certificate before adjudicatory 

documents are filed so that they can 

obtain access to the documents via the 

E-Filing system. 

A person filing electronically using 

the NRC’s adjudicatory E-Filing system 

may seek assistance by contacting the 

NRC Electronic Filing Help Desk 

through the ‘‘Contact Us’’ link located 

on the NRC’s public Web site at http:// 

www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html, by email to 

MSHD.Resource@nrc.gov, or by a tollfree call at 1–866–672–7640. The NRC 

Electronic Filing Help Desk is available 

between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m., Eastern 

Time, Monday through Friday, 

excluding government holidays. 

Participants who believe that they 

have a good cause for not submitting 

documents electronically must file an 

exemption request, in accordance with 

10 CFR 2.302(g), with their initial paper 

filing stating why there is good cause for 

not filing electronically and requesting 

authorization to continue to submit 

documents in paper format. Such filings 

must be submitted by: (1) First class 

mail addressed to the Office of the 

Secretary of the Commission, U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 

Washington, DC 20555–0001, Attention: 

Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff; or 

(2) courier, express mail, or expedited 

delivery service to the Office of the 

Secretary, 11555 Rockville Pike, 

Rockville, Maryland 20852, Attention: 

Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff. 

Participants filing adjudicatory 

documents in this manner are 

responsible for serving the document on 

all other participants. Filing is 

considered complete by first-class mail 

as of the time of deposit in the mail, or 

by courier, express mail, or expedited 

delivery service upon depositing the 

document with the provider of the 

service. A presiding officer, having 

granted an exemption request from 

using E-Filing, may require a participant 

or party to use E-Filing if the presiding 

officer subsequently determines that the 

reason for granting the exemption from 

use of E-Filing no longer exists. 

Documents submitted in adjudicatory
