NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50-263, 50-282, 50-306 and 72-10]


Northern States Power Company; Notice of Transfer of Control of 
License

    Notice is hereby given that the United States Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission (Commission) is considering approval under 10 CFR 50.80 and 
10 CFR 72.50 of the transfer of control of the licenses for the 
Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant, the Prairie Island Units 1 and 2 
Nuclear Generating Plants, and the Prairie Island Independent Spent 
Fuel Storage Installation facility, held by Northern States Power 
Company (NSP). Following a series of transactions, NSP will become a 
wholly owned subsidiary of Wisconsin Energy Corporation (WEC), the 
parent company of Wisconsin Electric Power Company (WEPCO). WEC will be 
renamed Primergy Corporation (Primergy) and will own two operating 
utility subsidiaries: (1) Northern States Power Company, which will be 
reincorporated in Wisconsin and merged with a newly formed WEC/Primergy 
subsidiary, and (2) WEPCO, which will be named Wisconsin Energy 
Company. The merged NSP will continue to operate the same facilities 
above in the same locations.
    Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.80 and 10 CFR 72.50 the Commission may 
approve the transfer of control of a license, after notice to 
interested persons, upon the Commission's determination that the holder 
of the license following the transfer of control is qualified to hold 
the license and the transfer of the control is otherwise consistent 
with applicable provisions of law, regulations, and orders of the 
Commission.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the October 
20, 1995, submittal from NSP, 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 Minneapolis Public Library, Technology and Science 
Department, 300 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55401.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland this 9th day of May 1996.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Kevin A. Connaughton,
Acting Director, Project Directorate III-1, Division of Reactor
