year periods beyond June 26, 2001. The Applicant accordingly requests

reached an agreement whereby they will cooperate in seeking 
reinstatement of the license, extension of the construction schedule, 
and transfer of the license from Southwestern to Carlyle. Public notice 
of the joint application for approval of transfer of the license, also
