NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50-220 and 50-410]


Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation, New York State Electric & Gas 
Corporation, Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2; Notice of 
Withdrawal of Application for Approval of Transfer of Facility 
Operating Licenses and Conforming Amendments

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has 
permitted the withdrawal of the application dated September 10, 1999, 
filed by Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation (NMPC), New York State 
Electric & Gas Corporation (NYSEG) and AmerGen Energy Company, LLC 
(AmerGen), which had requested Commission approval of the proposed 
transfer of the licenses for Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Units 1 
and 2, to the extent held by NMPC and NYSEG, to AmerGen.
    The Commission had previously published a Notice of Consideration 
of Approval of Transfer of Facility Operating Licenses and Conforming 
Amendments, and Opportunity for a Hearing (64 FR 52798, dated September 
30, 1999). Pursuant to such notice, three current co-owners of the 
facility (Rochester Gas And Electric Corporation, Central Hudson Gas & 
Electric Corporation, and Long Island Lighting Company) filed hearing 
requests and petitions to intervene in opposition to the application. 
The Attorney General of the State of New York also filed a petition to 
intervene. By a joint letter dated May 24, 2000, the applicants NMPC, 
NYSEG and AmerGen withdrew their application. In addition, by a motion 
filed that same date, the applicants requested dismissal of the 
proceeding regarding the hearing requests that have been pending before 
the Commission. By order dated June 13, 2000, the Commission terminated 
that proceeding.
    For further details with respect to this withdrawal, see (1) NMPC, 
NYSEG and AmerGen's letter dated May 24, 2000, available for public 
inspection at the Commission's Public Document Room, the Gelman 
Building, 2120 L Street, NW., Washington, DC; and (2) the Commission's 
Order dated June 13, 2000, dismissing the license transfer proceeding.
